Simple Joys of the Week, June 14th Edition

6/14/2019

It's been another tough week [more family issues], which is why I missed my normal weekly blog post for the first time in a LONG time; whoops!

But despite it being a hard week, there were still lots of lovely experiences sprinkled throughout...isn't that how life goes? The good and the bad all bundled up into one big mess of ups + downs...

So, here are some of the positive, simple joys that made this stressful week more enjoyable:

HEAR: Father of the Bride by Vampire Weekend
My dad + brothers turned me on to Vampire Weekend's new album and I'm loving it. I listened to it all week long and found it to be the perfect listen-while-working music. Check them out!

SEE: Charlie Mae catching "critters" at the beach
We've had some epic June beach days lately, and since I bought Charlie Mae her first little net last weekend, she's been LOVING catching what we call "critters" at the beach. These critters are mostly shells, sea snails, and tiny hermit crabs, but she gets a huge thrill out of catching them and then putting them into a bucket. It's beyond adorable to watch how excited she gets. {Don't worry--we put them back when she's done!}


TASTE: Family ice cream night
Is it weird/annoying if I list ice cream as a #SJOTW every week for the rest of my pregnancy? Because that just might happen. We've been going once per week as a family since it got warmer and I have to say, getting ice cream together and sitting outside to eat it really is the best. 


SMELL: Haircut
I got a haircut this week (my last before baby!) and it felt SO good to be pampered a bit. You know that just-styled, my-hair-smells-different-because-someone-else-did-it-with-different-products scent? I love it because it's a nice reminder that I took care of myself ;) 


TOUCH: Early morning walks
We went on two pre-work/pre-daycare family walks during the week this week and both were such a special way to start a regular day. Did Charlie Mae have to eat breakfast in her stroller to make it happen both mornings? Of course she did! But she loved it and so did we so it was a win all around. 

...And there ya go! I hope you can find some time to reflect on your simple joys of the week today, too. 
​

Btw: we're 1 month out from my due date today. AHHHHHH! So crazy!

Have a wonderful weekend!
