Our Memorial Day Weekend

Our Memorial Day weekend was pretty great. It was exhausting, but great. We took the kids up north to my mom’s lake house……and brought approximately 87 bags of clothes and food and who knows what else with us. It’s an ordeal!

All three kids are straight up obsessed with the lake house. They LOVE it there! And we love it too! Sadie kept saying “the lake is amazing!!!” And Hudson wanted to be go-go-go while we were there and it was pretty exhausting. But in a good way! We spent the majority of the weekend at the clubhouse indoor pool and I took zero pics. Indoor pools are a fair skinned person’s dream come true! We went 4 times during our 3 day stay!

Belle was NOT a fan of the pool. She was a fan of wearing her swim suit and matching her sister. But getting in the water was not her favorite. So she went for some long walks with my mom instead. But Hudson and Sadie just couldn’t get enough of the pool!

Hudson’s second favorite activity was going fishing. I think he caught 11 total over the weekend (and threw them all back).

We hunted for golf balls in the field, spotted a leggy fox, and ate our weight in ice cream and popsicles.

It was so fun. And now I need a weekend to recover! I hope you all had a great Memorial Day weekend too. And a big thank you to the men and women who have given everything for our country.We appreciate you so much and honor you with this day.

To manage stress, I try to take frequent breaks, remember to smile and laugh every day, carve out some alone time every morning, exercise daily, and turn to friends and other resources available to me if I need extra support.
