Yesterday, this big guy turned 4 months. And tomorrow he has his first day of daycare.... Momma is inexplicably excited. 🤣 No judgement please. I love this happy little man (and his brother) beyond words, but I am not equipped to be a SAHM. In fact, I’m barely equipped to make it through maternity leave with my sanity. But I have more respect for the women who are than I can possibly explain. .
When it comes to parenthood, I say, as long as you are loving on your babies and doing everything you can to raise them happy and healthy, then “you do you”. Don’t let people’s judgements over all the grey area get to you. Personally, I am a better mom, wife, and person because of daycare and my personal career and pursuits. .

This week, to celebrate regaining some of my freedom, I will be going to my office. But I will also go cross country skiing, downhill skiing, work out every day, shower every day, have ladies night, do my hair, look presentable, and simply take care of myself. It will be glorious. And yet I will also be counting down the minutes until I get to pick up my sweet little boys at the end of the day and snuggle them all night long. The best of both worlds. At least for me. .
Cheers to”me doing me” and “you doing you”. Whatever that means that helps us Mommas survive these awesome and challenging years with young babes. #momlife #2under2 #boymom #fitmoms #motherrunner

Yesterday, Joe and I had our first date since Beau arrived, and we kicked it off with some cross country skiing. It was beautiful out and so good for my soul. .
.
Our day date eventually turned into a night date. And at 8pm, while driving home, I may have been blasting 80s/90s country and belting out amazing songs of my childhood, for all to hear. All signs of an excellent day and much needed time with my hubby. .
