The girls call it bubble world 🫧

[alfa-lima-limon]

Yesterday afternoon it was so nice out and I got out the bubbles and I played outside with the girls for a long time and it was just lovely. I forgot how fun bubbles are! I need to get more. Also, we saw the turtle, which was fun. We have a fen behind the house and I assume it emerged from there and I hope it made it back!

Had a nice nap after I dropped the girls off this morning and then I went out to run! I only did half an hour but I felt good!

Then I went out for a massage and hair appointment!

Getting some good relaxation time in!

The girls are in school and I am done with school which means this week I am a stay at home mom with kids in school! So after we dropped them off, we came home and fell asleep for 3 hours. Then I got up and had some coffee and then I went outside! I mostly jogged and did some walk breaks for 2.5 miles and then I walked a half mile and I am pleased because I had no pain and though I am very slow, I feel like I can work back to running! Maybe I will run a race again. It has been 2.5 years since I ran the half marathon. Maybe I can get under 2.5 hours. My goal last time was under 3 hours, which I did, barely. I just love to run.

A little Treat! Chocolate fudge cake with raspberry topping. Made in the instant pot! Vegan, not GF. It’s so rich and delicious. You just need a small piece.

@akamuffintop you called it! Someone posted this on reddit compared to Dua. So iconic!

I was looking for some jellies that wouldn’t also be terribly uncomfortable. I used to love jellies and I had many a pair. I had the cutest pair of jelly oxfords when I was in 2nd grade that were clear with pink laces and I wore those well into the fall with socks.

I never got the Camper brand high heeled ones but I used to ogle them in the shop windows. They were so pretty! That was probably in the mid 90s. Camper used to be a popular brand in Spain. I guess it’s still around but I don’t think they’re widely available here. There were lots of knockoffs of the high heeled jellies.

Anyway, I saw that Tory Burch had jelly mules and they look are the combo of my favorite things! A slip on shoe with a cute Mary Jane style strap! The pattern is like my old oxfords. No heel blisters at least.

I managed to burn the one part of my leg that was exposed during the soccer games yesterday. I didn’t even think about it but it was so sunny and I didn’t put sunscreen there because I figured it wouldn’t be in the sun but I sit with my legs crossed a lot, so of course it burned. Despite my yellow complexion, I am still quite fair and I burn easily!

My bag is on sale! And I signed up for texts (which I will cancel) and got 15% off. I'm glad I didn't impulse buy. This is my anniversary present!

I have accepted that I am not really a super luxe bag person. I'm a fun bag person. This is in leather so it's classy!

We got home after 10 last night. The dinner was amazing.

Then we watched house shows till after midnight and then...we went straight to bed and fell asleep, just like on our wedding night! It was a great anniversary.

I helped out at Field Day today. I saw Bean briefly and said hi to her and I did not see V because Kindergarten doesn't do Field Day.

I was outside the whole time and it was HOT. They had a grilled cheese food truck and I got a bacon grilled cheese and it was delicious. I mostly just walked around and talked to other parents. (there were actually dads there!)

I was tired but I wanted to do it since I am done with school. I was only there for a couple of hours and then I came home and fell asleep in my cool bed. When I woke up, it was time to get the girls!

We have two soccer games tomorrow because it's the "Jamboree" and that is it! Done till the fall.

It is supposed to be nice out but hopefully not as hot as today.

We are going to a Fabio Viviani restaurant tonight! I actually remember him from Top Chef back in the day. Well now he has restaurants and there’s one close to us!
