Our walks and then some

We have been walking as a family lately. Almost every night for a little over 2 weeks. We walk anywhere from a mile to two miles, depending on G's feeding schedule.

I love this time. We talk to Grayson, we talk to each other. We just relax. Plus it is exercising. So that's good. I look forward to this time so much now. I'm a little sad that we started so late but the busyness that is our life took over. I know that we will keep this up until the snow flies or until it gets too cold to have G out in the stroller.

These walks have taught me to let things go. Laundry, cleaning, etc. It is fresh air, it is family time, it is good for my soul.

We solve things on these walks. I feel better accomplished. I can't wait until G is older and riding his bike while we walk. I love my little family. I have fond memories of being outside with my family, and playing hard.
That's one of the reasons why I wanted a pool. I have so many memories of my dad coming home in the summer and jumping in the pool with us and being together as a family. I want the same thing.

That's why I take so many pictures. I want G to be able to look back and say look at my memories. Because I have that. I love seeing that my parents did things with me even if I don't remember. It's like a time capsule. And while I suck at a baby book I have started a box. He can sift through this one day with his wife as they are about to have a baby and say "that's what I want to be like as a parent" at least I hope he will feel that way. I know I will make mistakes, I'm not perfect but I want him to above all always feel love. I want him to always feel love and feel safe and know that no matter what we are his home. Being a parent is tricky but somehow it can all be solved with a simple walk with my boys and all is right with the world.

Friday Favorites

Love that it's Friday Love that its Friday and we have a beautiful weekend ahead of us! Linking up with Andrea today! One These PJ's. When we first got married (and even before I was married really) I used to wear cute PJ's to bed and then I started to wear not so cute PJ's to bed so I ordered some new ones and OMG girls get these now. So so soft so so comfy and under $20.00! Plus they have pockets!   Two While your shopping at Kohls throw some of these picture frames in your cart! Just for fun! I love that they are easy to change out and have a distressed look! Plus they can sit on a shelf or be hung on the wall. Love! Three We have been swimming like crazy and that equals all the things that go with swimming like a million towels and swim suits. My bathroom was a mess. I usually never wash my swim suits I just rinse them out and hang dry they last a lot longer doing it that way and so I had things hanging every where! So I ord...

A nice little sweet spot

The sweet spot…. We seem to have hit one. I feel like we have not been in a sweet spot since the twins were about 6 months old. You know before they were mobile and can get into a ton of mischief. When kids are 0-6 months they still like to be held they eat mostly bottles and they mostly just stay in one spot. No issues, you can go places and even though you have to pack up your whole house to be prepared you can relax. And if you are in my family someone is always willing to hold or feed or change a baby. 7-months to 2.5 years old is what I refer to as the lost years. You have so many things you have to do for them they are not potty trained and they are mobile and get into EVERYTHING. Going outside is more work than its worth and with twins they scatter in opposite directions. Three on one is so hard handle in big open spaces. I would often find myself skipping outside time because the work was just too much for me. When the twins turned 3 and Grayson was 6 it felt like we had a ...
