A New Day

March 29, 2016 By Callie Leave a Comment

Our Easter was calm. Our day was spent with us. When I was little we lived in Massachusetts so what I remember about holidays was it was just us. Hubs was the same. In fact, that’s one reason we get along so well. We love our extended family and are so happy to see them and join in but we love being just us.

We slept in-Row has a way of sleeping in on days when most kids get up early-like Christmas. Row woke up and hubs went and got her for snuggles-we snuggle on the weekend. Just the three of us. We heard the door creak and Grandma joined just us. She’s become a part of us and we wouldn’t want her to miss any of the fun.

Row had put her Easter basket out on the table the night before in hopes the Easter Bunny would come. We talked about the promise of Jesus and how he was making all things new again. How he was removing the veil between us and God. How in Spring everything becomes new.

She woke up to her basket filled to the brim with treats-I let the bunny know she’s not into candy much these days.

She was so happy-so content and so were we.

That’s what we did all day-just be, just us.

I hope you had a wonderful holiday reflecting and looking forward to all things new.

Weekend Wrap Up

March 30, 2015 By Callie Leave a Comment

Our weekend started off with a bang on Friday! Probably more Thursday when someone said hey I’ll see you tomorrow and I was all like whhhhattt? Oh that’s right I’m hosting a Toddler Easter Party.

I love a party! I dreamed of the day we would have a child an experience all the fun ness of childhood again and believe me when I say I don’t miss a moment. I decided to host our toddler friends Easter party at the house complete with an egg hunt.Each Mama dropped off 24 filled eggs to my house prior to the party. Does that sound like a lot?

What I adore about the group of women I call Mama friends is they are always ready for fun and they are always ready to help. The event was pot luck so I only had to worry about one dish, plates, and water. Stress less. I also am at a point with these gals that I don’t run around crazy cleaning. I mean I vacuumed and tidied but not much more.

Mamas sent messages about if they could bring their bunny costume for pictures-thanks Melissa-you were a trooper and amazing. Sadly Row refused a pic. One Mama-Amber asked if she could bring a backdrop for pictures. Melissa brought her niece and nephew to help hide eggs. Jennifer brought treats for each kiddo and Row gave each friend a basket for egg hunting. We played outside and had so much food there wasn’t room on my counters!

The egg hunt came and Row got it this year! She had a blast finding eggs. Also an Easter miracle happened we successfully got 10 two year olds and 1 six month old to sit in a line and take a group photo!!! A MIRACLE!

Opening her stash! I love a good toddler party!

I also had the pleasure of celebrating this guy-my best friend, my boyfriend, my partner in crime, and the one I cannot live without. We celebrated the whole week complete with a misspelled birthday cake-he wanted a store bought one like he had when he was little. A trip to the park and a first time running on hills moment.
