Yesterday we celebrated six years of marriage!
We get up so grateful for one another on a regular basis. That is what I wrote after I launched Thomas to you guys in 2017:
Which brings me to one thing I’ve been hinting at for months now – I’m in looooooove! His identify is Thomas, and I couldn’t have sketched a greater companion when you’d given me a clean piece of paper and a Sharpie and stated, “draw the person of your goals.” Whereas I may record the various the explanation why Thomas is a superb man (he is excellent trying and a formidable soccer participant!), what I really like most about him is how he makes me really feel after we’re collectively: secure, safe, revered, liked. He can also be loopy about Mazen, and Thomas’s household has been so fantastic and welcoming to Mazen and me.
And nothing has modified <3 Marrying him was the most effective choice of my life.
I additionally can not imagine that Birch is only a few weeks shy of how outdated Mazen was at our wedding ceremony!
In actual fact, I can see Birch on this image. Whereas they every have their very own very completely different personalities, they’re related in lots of sibling kind of methods. They usually love one another a lot.
I uncovered Mazen’s wedding ceremony outfit from the 5T field a number of weeks in the past and was saving it for right this moment to strive on. It was a bit of massive, nevertheless it match! He was very happy.
The Clifton
As is custom, we ventured over to The Clifton to re-live reminiscences of our wedding ceremony. The climate was very a lot the identical because it was in 2017. And this time we took the boys alongside!
We bought some drinks on the bar, together with a Shirley Temple and a Ginger Ale for the boys, and an Outdated Customary and a Beer for the adults.
We ended up having dinner there too, which was not our plan however made sense given that everybody was hungry they usually had a desk on the terrace. They usually despatched us celebratory champs on the finish of the meal!
The boys performed gorilla video games within the backyard the place we had been married. Acceptable.

Fall Y’all
Inside every week’s time we went from bathing fits and balmy climate to crisp cool mornings that require a hoodie and scorching espresso. We additionally didn’t see the solar for about 5 days and I used to be feeling so down with out it. Fortunately it’s again. Heat fall days are my favourite sort of fall day : )
Whereas we had been on the seashore, Gus went to his favourite babysitter’s home, Ms. Kathy. She lives on a farm with loads of dust for Gus to roll round in together with his different canine associates. One hour after he returned, our model new rug and sofa had been orange. Fortunately I purchased a efficiency rug and sofa because of this, and most of it got here up with water.
Gus bought a shower immediately!
One of many facilities that Thomas added in the course of the renovation was out of doors scorching water for the hose, so Gus loved a pleasant spa experince and nobody was chilly! (That might be nice for filling up the kiddie pool within the springtime too!)
Birch bought a lesson in canine washing and likewise a lesson in hammering as we end up the trash can storage deck.
SmoothieBox
I’ve a new-to-me smoothie choice to share: SmoothieBox! These smoothies are use all natural components, are aware about their packaging… and that stunning berry smoothie above – it has hidden cauliflower in it!
There are six taste choices that embrace a ton of tremendous wholesome components, together with one referred to as Inexperienced! From cauliflower and candy potato to hemp seeds and coconut, the components are superfood primarily based and combined right into a scrumptious combo that serves 2. My youngsters liked the Mango one, and Berry is my favourite. You should buy as a subscription or purchase one and pause or cancel at any time.

Our second meal of the week was this turkey + cabbage creamy soup. Love that soup szn is right here!!!!!
We had it two nights in a row per my “cook dinner as soon as, eat twice” meal plan rhythm. I’ve been doing this for a number of years now, and it completely modified meal planning for me! We do two meal equipment meals and one straightforward child good friend meal (tacos, selfmade pizza, spaghetti, burgers, and so on.) and meal planning is so easy.
Right here’s the child pleasant meal final week! My gosh, a home-grown tomato (from my in-laws’ backyard) actually elevates a taco.
