Hey friends! I have missed writing here for almost the last month but man it felt good to really check out. I didn’t realize how much I needed to unwind until I was already knee deep in pjs, movies, and snacks. It was good for me, it was good for my family, and I hope it will be a good start to 2016!
I had planned to start back last week but I hadn’t finished a project and I promised myself I wouldn’t do anything until I had. This project has been on my to-do list for YEARS and has been a source of a lot of anxiety and I am excited to tell you exactly what it is tomorrow. Today I wanted to share other life updates from the past month.
Way back in the beginning of the month we jetted off to Mexico for a dreamy vacation. It was our first big trip with the kids and I am thankful to say that they loved it! I am hoping that this sets us up for more requests to go to a tropical location rather than Disney! We stayed at the Finest resort in Playa Mujueres and I highly recommend it.
The swim up bar was a hit all around…
As was the ice cream…
Ice cream coma…
It was so nice to just let everyone be…6 yogurts for breakfast? Sure why not!
Fanta for breakfast? Yes!
I can’t remember the last time we were all just together with no plans. It was nice to have no other responsibilities other than to hang out with each other.
Taylor had a really hard time acclimating 😉
We all found our groove….
We celebrated Oliver’s birthday while we there and this rice chicken was all he ever dreamed of…hibachi fan forever!
Harper enjoyed the late night dance party….
I enjoyed food…so.much.food
The kids were completely content whether it be spying on lizards, finding coconuts, watching kites, playing in the kids center or mingling with their favorite celebrities…
And one of these would have been our Christmas card had I ever gotten around to those this year!
After Mexico we came back for a pretty low key Christmas. The month off did us good and I can honestly say I am coming back totally refreshed. This week I am going to share a look back at 2015 as well as some changes coming to the blog so stay tuned!
Until then I will leave you with these ocean breezes…
