Things are going well. Hard to believe it will be May tomorrow. We are counting down till summer. Obviously, it always seems like it's summer in Florida, but truly, it's not. Our 'winters' are sometimes a bit too cold for the pool, so we really look forward to summer. In the summer, we just hang out! I love the fact that there's not much of a routine. I was thinking this summer we would tackle a bit more crafts than we usually do. I told Anel that we should try and do a craft a week. Alia is at that age when you can actually do a craft with her and enjoy it! This will of course, take place while the twins nap. I am so NOT a crafty person. I wish I had the patience of my sister, who can spend hours doing crafts. But I get desperate and impatient. Maybe a lesson in patience that I need to learn....
Anyhow, I am looking forward to our annual family trip in July. This time we are going to Anna Maria Island. We have never been there, so it should be interesting.
A bit before that is Anel's birthday, which we seem to celebrate the entire month of July. Last year we started a new tradition for her birthday. Instead of celebrating with a birthday party, we go away for a 'girls' weekend. She picks a location and we just make it a beach girls weekend. Last year we went to Deerfield Beach with my sister and my niece and had an absolutely wonderful time. This time I am pushing for the Marriott in Harbor Beach. We'll see if that happens.
We will be celebrating Mother's Day by going out to dinner with the family. This is another tradition that we started a few years back. We felt that by going out to dinner, no "mom" is obligated to carry the work of hosting it. It has worked out very well, and I am really looking forward to it.
Here's wishing all the Mom's out there a blessed day. My mission in life is simple- to love unconditionally and hope that my children make life choices that reflect who we are as a family and as individuals. Easier said than done.
Regardless, I am blessed.
