Fourth of July: BFF and Baby

*Written on July 5, 2013*

Yesterday, the fourth of July, was one of the most fun days I've had with my best friend, Kimberly, in a long time. We've been best friends since we were 14, and over the years life has changed. We're turning 23 this year. She is a toddler mama, wife, student, and working lady. As you can imagine, "normal" life gets in the way of us having time to hang out quite often.

Yesterday our family (remember: J is her cousin) was out of town, neither of us had to work, and magic happened. We spent the day together with her son, Bryce. We found one of the only places open yesterday that wasn't super expensive and spent a good chunk of the afternoon there, then went swimming at a family member's house. T'was an amazing day!


After that, we made dinner at her house, picked up my mom, and took off to see fireworks super last minute. I'm not usually one to make a big deal out of seeing them, but B absolutely loved it. Every time he so much as heard a firework go off, he'd say something like "Dats a fiewouk! POP! BOOM!". It was 100%, totally worth it. Even if I thought my bladder was going to explode the entire time we we're at the fireworks thing.


Babywearing for the win, yeah? I love that carrier. We had to walk a few blocks, so I helped Kimberly wrap B in my Wrap Conversion Mei Tai from Earthy Bliss.

I hope your 4th was as amazing as mine! How did you celebrate?

52 Weeks of Blogging with a Purpose: My Biggest Weakness

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Let's be real here. I don't just have one biggest weakness, I have a lot. I'm sure I'm not the only one. This is totally what I thought when I saw the word weakness. Then I browsed other blogs who are also doing this link-up...


1. J's REAL Smile. His fake one is cute but is real, that-is-so-funny smile makes my heart melt and beat just a little bit faster. Oh goodness. I can't wait to see his face! He's been at the lake since Wednesday and is finally came home yesterday!

2. Clearance Items. Am I right? They're discounted, cheaper than normal, and so cute. I bought a white board the other day for the sole reason that it was on clearance. I don't even have anywhere to put it at the moment. I don't know what I'm going to write on it, yet. But it was THREE DOLLARS!

3. Natural Parenting Items. I want all the wraps! All the AppleCheeks! All the things! No, I don't need anymore. I know. Well, I do need more cloth diapers in a bigger size soon. But not right this minute.
-----
In terms of personality? Procrastination. I am pretty much a professional at waiting until the last minute. Even with this blog post, it's 11a on the day it's "due" and I'm just now finishing it. My posts normally go live at midnight. In my defense? I did work on other blog posts this weekend though. Even though they weren't as urgent as this one.

What is your biggest weakness?
