Last week was a whirlwind of work, housework and packing for Labor Day weekend.

This week involves re-entry into daily life after a wonderfully relaxing and refreshing weekend at the lake with four amazing friends. Before I left, Livia told me she would “focus” on being good for daddy over the weekend. And apparently her focusing paid off—she was great! But I fear I’m paying for my departure now, as my kid is offering up some really, really, really challenging behaviors. Sigh.

It was so good to have a weekend off. It is also good to be home with my beloved husband and beautiful kiddo.

More coming about my girls’ weekend…
