a trip to bend + my weekend in pictures.

We headed to Bend, OR for our summer family trip on Wednesday (& returned just yesterday) so I thought I would share some snaps from the trip as well as the remainder of our weekend. If you recall, I had a girls’ weekend down in Bend two years ago (what!?) and I fell in love. So it was a no-brainer for me when I started planning our summer vacation a few months ago. And it was pretty easy to get Aaron on board since Bend is famous for many, many breweries! Continue reading “a trip to bend + my weekend in pictures.”

{We kicked off the weekend with a birthday party for one of Eloise’s school friends, so she decorated the card just before the party. Starting next weekend we have at least two birthday parties every single weekend until the end of summer. Let birthday party season begin!}

{Very slowly we have been getting our Amazon Prime Day shipments (let’s get on that Amazon!) and this sampler pack of Bubly water is so, so good! Also, I normally won’t order something like this from Amazon because it seems ecologically better for me to pick it up when I am at the store, but there are flavors here I have never seen before so I had to get it!}

{Love seeing the girls play. And a kitchen for your kids is the best gift. Seriously, both of the girls as soon as they could stand, and every single child under the age of 10 plays with this kitchen.}

{And some water table fun while Aaron grilled dinner tonight. Apparently sitting at the water table is way more fun than standing at it!}

This (hot) weekend just flew by and I barely even felt like I had time to enjoy it. I have a HUGE work project (for The Petite Flag Shop) that I have been trying to get done for the past few weeks and this is the very end of it, so it’s been a crazy week and weekend. (I promise to share as soon as it launches, so keep an eye on my Instagram around the second week of August!) I have been spending every minute that I can getting things done and Aaron hung with the girls. And we are gearing up for a short, but packed, first part of the week with lots more work for Aaron and I both and then we will hit the road for our summer family vacation! Yahoo!

How was your weekend?

{it was a mini girls trip, as i mentioned, with just three of us (though some of the other ladies joined us for breakfast the day before) but it was still SO good to get some girl time in without wrangling all of the children.}

{Grammie and Eloise played store one day and it was the CUTEST thing ever. at first it was a “traditional” store where Eloise went into the store to go shopping, but then it turned into “Amazon Fresh” and Eloise ordered her groceries to be picked up!}

{and a post-dinner stroll around the neighborhood to finish off the weekend.}

We had SO much fun in Boise with my family even though the thermometer hit triple digits which no one really appreciated.

And this weekend we had fun with Aaron before he headed out on a boys’ camping trip this morning with his brother and two nephews who just flew out for a visit. So, I am heading into the week solo and praying I can hold down the fort on my own (but just until Tuesday)!

How was your weekend?

{I caught an early flight out of Seattle on Thursday morning and headed to OC (Huntington Beach, Costa Mesa, Newport Beach) to meet up with my family for my sister Anya’s college graduation. I was up at 4 am, in an Uber by 5 am, at the airport by 6 am, but I was flying solo & got to drink my latte hot so it was pretty amazing!} Continue reading “my weekend in pictures.”
