4th of July Weekend

I hope you had a wonderful 4th of July weekend! We sure did!

We went to a couple of picnics and watched fireworks, of course. Just the classic kind of celebrating over here. I love this season with small children. We know it doesn’t last long and so we’re cherishing every holiday and so much of this summer with them.

We also know that my husband and I are growing up right along with them, and so we carved out a day for just the two of us to get out and enjoy one another this weekend, too. We went out for bagels and s’mores lattes. It was a nice treat! Then we went to the lake to walk around and sit together.

The 4th of July picnics were fun and great, too! I made pinwheels as a dish to share and it went over well.

I’d love to say that now that the holiday is over, I am looking forward to getting back on track with eating well but I know there is a lot of “eating out” coming my way these next couple of weeks. 

My sister’s kids will be in town and so we will all be over at my moms house a whole lot, eating out as we go on adventures and just going with the flow most days. These next two weeks will be like a staycation of sorts when they are in town. It’s always a lot of fun and we’re looking forward to it but I also know the extra challenge it is going to be for my healthy eating goals.

I don’t want this to turn into an excuse to have a free-for-all with my eating so I am going to keep balance in mind best I can.
