Memorial Day Weekend Roundup: Let The Fun Begin

It’s been a busy week my friends. Summer has officially started in our home now that Mini-Me has finished her first year of college (Didn’t we just drop her off??) and my empty nest status is on hiatus until the end of August. Re-entry into “mommy-mode” didn’t take but a day or so for me to slip back into my old ways – like an old pair of fuzzy slippers. There’s noise. There’s action. There’s snuggling.  And I’m loving every minute of it.

We’ve been spending a lot of time here…catching up on our favorite TV shows.

 I also spent a little time in this baby for a fabulous friend’s birthday celebration. I sang (soft enough for others to drown me out for everyone’s benefit) but did not use the pole – I have standards (and apparently so do they – because they didn’t ask me!).

    You TOTALLY could have rocked that pole, had you been asked.
