Mommy Daughter Date

Recently Justin has had some one on one time with Everly between taking her to the movies and taking her to a home depot kids workshop so I wanted to make a special date to spend some alone time with her. Last Saturday we had a special mommy daughter breakfast date. Since I am still nursing Aspen, we don't get much time with just the two of us so it was nice. We went to The Place which I haven't been to since July and it was super yummy! Everly got her Mickey Mouse pancake and I had eggs, hash browns, and bacon....and coffee of course! She has been very into trying different flavors of syrups lately which we never have at home but she loves to try at restaurants. She likes blueberry because it looks purple. We took our time and enjoyed the morning by ourselves. I had a great time and hopefully I am good about planning days like this in the future with both girls!
 

This place normally has a crazy wait...but not at 7 AM. Also, boots and shorts, because obviously.

 

My first baby.

My 28th Birthday

My birthday this year was very low-key. I am very thankful to be pregnant and healthy, but birthdays just aren't as exciting when you can't do everything you want. Instead of planning something big we just decided to save my birthday for the weekend and have breakfast and do some pottery painting. On my actual birthday I did take advantage of free coffee from dutch bros and I brought in delicious Lamar's donuts to work. A couple of my co-workers also took me out to lunch which was super nice. We went to Zoe's kitchen and I know it's simple, but I love their greek salad plate with hummus and it definitely hit the spot on my birthday. Some of my family also stopped by that night and brought me presents. I had also recently won a giveaway online and my prizes came on my birthday so that was fun as well! On Saturday we went to one of my favorite breakfast restaurants called "The Place." We actually live super close to it now, which is kind of dangerous. I don't even get anything crazy there, but they just do breakfast good. I love their bacon and Justin loves their breakfast burritos. Everly had Mickey cakes and apparently not enough eggs because she wanted more!

When I was pregnant with Everly, Justin and I went on a date night and painted some pottery for her nursery which you can see here. When deciding what to do for my birthday I thought it would be a great idea to paint items for Aspen's nursery so we headed to As You Wish. Everly has been kind of obsessed with painting lately so it was exciting for her as well.  Everly painted a tile, Justin painted an elephant, and I painted a little jewelry box. It ended up being a pretty great birthday. Also, thanks to some of my family member's gifts I was able to get new running shoes finally!

 I won a Solly Baby Wrap for Aspen and Freshly Picked Moccs for Everly!
