A Healthy Slice of Life

Happy Friday! We are in a flurry of excitement over here because we are preparing for our first European trip as a family. Tonight we’ll head across the Atlantic and wake up in Scotland! I have a million curiosities about how this experience will go, as we fly out this evening, have a couple hour layover in Newark, then depart for Edinburgh close to midnight. Will we be able to sleep on the flight? Will we feel jetlagged tomorrow or will we surprise ourselves?

Good morning from a cool and rainy South Carolina, which feels a little crazy for this time of year, but is also getting me in the right mindset for Scotland, which right now is also cool and rainy.

Another trip around the sun completed for our Goose! Speaking of, I was asked the other day why we call her Goose and it was a sweet memory to recall. It’s a simple thing really. There is a board book series called Duck & Goose. One book in particular, Goose Needs a Hug, was a particular favorite of Kaitlyn’s when she was a toddler. At the end of the book, the characters all chime in with a big “what Goose?” and it ends with a big hug.

Hello and happy Monday! How was your weekend? Celebratory? A little tough? A combination perhaps? Whatever the circumstances, I hope that all the moms, all the variations of moms and mom figures, felt loved and appreciated. Cheers to us for loving our people the best ways we can! Motherhood is a role I always dreamed of fulfilling and I feel a deeper appreciation for being given the opportunity with each year that passes.

I’m so tickled to be here on the third day in a row just sharing life. I need to and will get back to some more curated content- recipes, Friday favorites, etc, but gosh right now it feels good to just show up and chat with you. I’m so encouraged by your responses that you miss this style of blogging, too. It’s less in your face, isn’t it? That’s how I feel reading my favorite blogs. Like I can just drop in when it works in my schedule and check in with a friend. I hope you feel that way here.
