This, That, and the Other

Happy Monday friends! I’ve missed you! Sorry for my absence, I left on Thursday to jet off to San Francisco for the weekend to hang out with my Pollinate Media and Weave Made family. 
Highlights totally include eating Chick-Fil-A in the Minneapolis airport (SO good), meeting lots and lots of dad bloggers, people being super nice to my pregnant self, taking an Uber for the first time in my life and not getting stabbed, 
test driving a super fancy Kia K900 with these crazies,
 meeting R2D2 at the Lucas Studio (yes, I’m a total Star Wars nerd at heart. Bet you didn’t know that about me!),

scoring lots of swag for my boys at home,
and finally, coming home to this sweet face. I missed him something fierce. And I missed my husband too! 
Hudson didn’t sleep well last night and just needed mommy. Totally broke my heart. I had a lot of anxiety about leaving him even though I knew he would be well cared for while I was gone. But man, the mommy guilt is hard core. I’m taking today to recover from my trip, catch up on my dvr….and do like 10 loads of laundry.

    Glad you had a fun weekend!

    Loved San Fran when I visited last March! Such a fun city. I've still never been in an Uber. But it's good to know that they are safe! 🙂

A. Dance her little booty off
B. Just stand there and stare
C. Cry
I’m hoping for A, but B and C are definite possibilities. What do you think will happen?
