And it’s the Mama!!!! If he wasn’t sleeping he was screaming, apparently he had other things he wanted to do besides be in his carseat…hhmmm…. can’t win em all! He’s lucky I love that cute little face sooooo much!

Jethro and I hit the road… We drove across Florida to the Gulf coast and to my Aunts gorgeous little beach house where so many childhood memories where made. Every time I cross this bridge to get to the island my soul does backflips.

My bridge crossing  ritual is… windows go down, head goes out the window and a deep breath of salty air is in-haled… yes, that feels good.

This is more like it… After a whirlwind of traveling, Halloween parties and my Dads 60th birthday my body said DONE and I unfortunately spent a couple days in bed with the Flu. Thankfully I am feeling much better now and will be posting pics of Halloween soon!

Warm sticky air, palm trees and our feet in the water. 

No drugs were needed!

= MIAMI!

Two more days until we touch down in Miami, but first a long haul flight with a 13 month old.  Expect the worst, be pleasantly surprised when they travel like a pro….  After many of these flights with multiple children I have learned one thing… there are no magic tricks or magic pills, I don’t care how many treats you have packed or new toys you have loaded up in there tiny back packs or how many movies are ready to entertain them on their IPads… you just never know how the cookie will crumble (usually all over the floor where most of the toys have been thrown and then wiped all over the arm of the nice stranger sitting next to you.) The best advice for traveling with children is LET IT GO!!!!.. Breath, relax, succumb and relinquish control… you will land eventually.

Oh yeah… and def take at least 5 xanax and chug wine instead of water….. just kidding!!!! Happy travels!

THIS BREAD IS FROM ALDI!!!!

Feeding a family is expensive and some days I feel like all I do is cook shit- other days I feel like all I do is buy shit to cook. So when I find inexpensive awesomely delicious things like this rosemary, raisin nut bread it makes living in the momhood all that more spectacular! Scream it from the roof tops that this bread is from Aldi or tell no one ever and pretend you only buy fancy bread from expensive shops either way people will be impressed.

This is the face of a mother who just slept until 10 o’clock… yes, you read that correctly 10 o’clock!!!! Good morning to me… Now, does  anyone want to bring me coffee in bed… or is that just really pushing it?
