Do any of you other moms feel that way? When your first and only child is down for a nap, do you feel almost overwhelmed with just the thought that you have a little bit of free time to do with whatever you please? And let's not even mention all the things that can and should get done while you have a free hour. Today I had a list of things I could do once Mercedes was asleep but since I've already had a pretty productive day I decided to sit down at the computer, browse pinterest, turn on a netflix movie and eat some helado. The movie was boring and so now here I am a little chilly and writing a new blog post.
I wish I had some new photos to post. But alas, I don't.
Taylor is at school but should be home pretty soon. He's still continuing to do better and it is wonderful to see! Seriously, I can't even describe...
I had so much fun with my mom and brother while they were here last week. We're hoping to see them again in April, along with the rest of my family. I love family.
I want to make a shout-out to my bff Lacey in Poland. I miss you Lacey! I hope you aren't too freezing over there!

Lacey's birthday, 15th or 16th?
Many many years ago, just little girls.
So many good memories. Someday we will live close again, maybe even across the street like our childhood days! Our children can play together, and who knows! Maybe even get married!
I'm now regretting the ice cream I just had. It wasn't that good and now I'm feeling gross about the whole thing. I should go off of sugar for a while.
Today I was making a fire and when one of the logs began to burn it started shooting molten sap bullets out at me. I seriously felt like I was being fired at! It was scary but thank goodness I didn't get hurt. My right shoulder smells like a pine tree though.
I guess that ties up my random thought-provoking post. I need to go do some laundry. Have a wonderful day!

Mackenzie I seirously teared up when I read your post. I thought about you so much yesterday and so I can't believe that that was your post today. I literally was reminising on some of those same times, and a couple of those photos I've never even seen! Do you remember how we used to go running every morning together? Or whenever we had sleep overs I would always have to leave at like 7:30am and you wouldn't even know I had left ha ha. ... Im going to shoot you an email
Awww. How the time flies! Can't believe it. I miss those little girls, but it's so fun to watch them grow up! Seriously though, I think I still have Lacey in my house almost every day, with that little clone Brenna running around here. It's uncanny. I hear her laugh or talk, and it's like Lacey all over again. Very fun.
And I miss my California girls!!!
Holy random thought process! You asked about moms taking advantage when kids nap. Well I don't have kids of my own but my favorite time at work is nap time, kids down and I can run around and actually get things done. Then when I get home and have no kids to care for I somehow find other things to hold back to productivity, usually excuses. I admire mothers much more after getting a taste of what it is you go through everyday. Praises to you Kenze.
