Our Week In Pictures // and My Monday Mantra

March 27, 2017 by Rachel 26 Comments

Shame on me — I’m a bad, bad, blogger! I’ve been doing a fairly decent job of getting lots of sleep + snuggling my babies. So basially I had the best excuses ever.

Oh, and I worked — a LOT.

But here are the exciting parts of our week, as told by pictures:

[a trip to the akron zoo to see the ‘fla-mangoes!’]

[visited the new local craft brewery, HiHo]

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gZPbEVZEDE]

[ari’s first t-ball practice]

[a pizza birthday party with friends]

[lots of playing]

[a teensy bit of work, a lot of coffee from akron coffee roasters]

[miss bea’s first taste of ice cream, courtesy of chill artisan ice cream]

Not pictured: A low-grade fever from one silly toddler; loads and loads of unfolded laundry; and lots of chaos. Like every week, our days were filled with lots of ups and even more downs. But I’m trying to keep on the brightside. And this upcoming week is no different. Well, it’s a little different because Ari is on Spring break — and that means I’m taking a little time off to do a few special things with the kiddos!

And here’s my Mantra for the week:

Happy Monday, friends! Find some joy by doing little things! xo

    Love “flamangoes”. And amen to that mantra. Why is that such a struggle for us mamas and so hard for other people to understand? :/

    I’m in OH too and we were able to get out a bit this weekend. I am looking forward to warmer weather – with no rain! – so we can spend more time outside.

    Great family shots and I love your motto. As mom, it’s so easy to get caught up in what everyone else needs instead of what is best for you.

    Your week looks like it was so much fun. It makes me think of all the great little moments I have that sometimes go overlooked. I should start doing something similar, even if I only keep it for family use. 🙂
