Week in review

We had a busy and fun past week. Last Sunday we were very productive, going on a nice walk as a family, lunch at Russian river and then home to do some cleaning and yardwork.

Monday lily sported her 'tiny Pliny' tshirt and her new mint colored skinnies...such a fashionista. Her and I met up with rosey & Vanessa and Cameron & Reese, two moms and babies from my playgroup and took an amazing hike at a new state park in Santa Rosa. We are so fortunate to live where we do. That night I finally worked on my St. Pattys day chalkboard.

Tuesday we hosted playgroup in the morning...I only got pictures of lily before. No group pics :(

Wednesday at work, a coworker and I got to 'secret shop' another winery, nickel & nickel...the grounds there were stunning and great wine too. After work I met up with my book club (I swear ill actually finish the book this time around) at nectar for happy hour. This group of ladies are just amazing, it's really nice to have found them. A few if us came back to my place for a 'nightcap' after happy hour.

Thursday & Friday were pretty much work and then home, but lily did sport some more green inspired outfits for st. Pattys day. Oh and Friday Duckhorn production team out on a great happy hour...green wine :)

Saturday I had a typical exhausting day while Rollie and lily enjoyed daddy/daughter day...I live for getting pictures if them while I'm at work.

Sundays a whole post on its own...to be written soon (hopefully)

In the thick of it

Hopefully monthly blogging won't become a habit.  Life has just been crazy.  April was a big blur. We host a bi annual pick up party at work and for the months of April and October I'm pretty much a working like mad or exhausted from working like mad.  Then it took a week to feel normal again! I'm also working split days at the moment (off on Sunday/Tuesday) and its really not fun.  I can't truly enjoy a weekend and its really hard to decompose on Sundays knowing that I have to work the next day.  Hopefully I only 2 more months of it until Piper can start at Lily's preschool/daycare. Rollie was a rock-star Dad as always, taking care of not only the girls but me too.  I know there were days that I was grumpy and not myself.  They did come to visit me one day during the craziness and that helped! Lily is wonderful 90% of the time and a threenager the other 10%.  It's absolutely amazing what a 3.5 year old absorbs and their tiny little imaginations are just the

May (or better known as my Birthday Month)

I took the girls to the Museum again-it was a hot one! That afternoon we enjoyed some Popsicles on the deck. One night after work we made a Home Depot run and then decided it was too hot to cook so we took the girls to Pieology. We brought bagels to the teachers for Teacher Appreciation Week. We celebrated May The 4th with our Star wars gear. I had a work dinner one evening and we spoiled my Manager with baby stuff for his soon to be baby girl. Lily, Ariya & Ensley had their first official sleepover at Ensleys house. We had framily over for a late cinco de mayo dinner. My mom sent the girls super cute matching dresses. Rollie set up a day date for us in Napa.  We went to Freemark Abbey, Goose & Gander for lunch and then Cardinale.  It was such a lovely day just the two of us.  Janet was in town so she hung out with Piper and Lily went to Kerry and Kristen's and enjoyed the pool and a nap on the Farm.

Comparison

I started reading blogs almost 5 years ago. It first started with following a few photographers when I was laid off and thinking of pursuing a career in the photography field (that didn't happen), then it was home improvement blogs after we bought our first house (and I still follow many of those), and most recently pregnancy blogs that have now in a way turned into 'mommy' blogs.  I really enjoy reading a select few women's journeys through motherhood.  I even follow some of these women on Instagram and in a way some of us have become IG 'friends'.  Two of them posted about a topic today that I really can relate to.   Comparison is the thief of joy.   We are surrounded by Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Reality tv, Blogs and Pintrest that it is WAY to easy to find ways to compare our lives with those we know as well as complete strangers.  I work in the luxury wine industry and I meet people everyday that don't even blink at dropping a mortgage payment worth
