I recently had a girls' night with some of the moms from Sloan's music class, and it was the most fun I've had in awhile. We chatted and laughed for hours, and it felt good to remember that I'm still a person outside of my role as a mom. We talked a lot about travel, and the ones with older kids couldn't encourage getting away at this stage of parenthood highly enough. So, after months of debating, G and I felt confident and inspired enough to book our first real vacation since our honeymoon. You'll be hearing more about it soon—we leave next month!—but for now, I'm looking forward to a relaxed weekend, filled with Sloan time.

I feel like the last 14 days have been nothing but a haze of illness (my dad even got the flu while he was visiting us last weekend, poor guy). Typically what happens is I get sick and G remains stalwart in health, his immunity almost never succumbing to seasonal bugs. But we ...read more
