Happy Sunday! It’s a beautiful, sunny day and I’m just chilling with Baby M while Mark does some grocery shopping. Later today we’re going to take a little family walk with Iggy, too.
As much as I miss being more active, I’m still loving our low-key weekends. I don’t feel guilty at all sleeping in and having extra cuddles with the baby.
Yesterday we had some lunch at Jason’s Deli and went for a nice walk at Spring Hill. It was just what I needed to relax. Tonight we’re making some hamburgers, homemade french fries, and watching some TV. Boring, perhaps, but it’s just what I need.
Hope you enjoy the rest of your Sunday; check out these recipes and articles before you go!
