April was one of many busiest months we’ve had round right here in a really very long time. I assume that’s factor. I don’t like an excessive amount of time alone with my ideas and so it’s good to have a full calendar. Having mentioned that, I additionally really feel a profound sense of overwhelm when every weekend has one thing carved out and I can’t spend time doing the sluggish actions that join me to the current–days spent outdoors blowing bubbles, within the kitchen meal prepping, on the dinner desk catching up with my husband. I lengthy for these quiet reminders as a result of they’re the final word supply of consolation in my life. Bizarre?

The month kicked off with my cousin’s marriage ceremony on April Idiot’s Day. It was a extremely lovely ceremony and unimaginable to see members of the family I hadn’t caught up with since earlier than the pandemic. Mila was not in attendance, which made it a lot simpler for us to utterly benefit from the night uninterrupted. We danced, we schmoozed, we drank an excessive amount of. We additionally SLEPT IN and that was an added bonus for these dad and mom proper right here. 

April 2nd = Mila’s birthday. April third = my birthday. April 4th = my dad’s birthday. Can I simply let you know? That cluster provides me all types of hysteria LOL. However my brother was on the town from Florida for the marriage and we had a really good dinner with my dad and mom at an area pub to have fun all the pieces. This was additionally a month to make amends for appointments–Mila had her yearly pediatrician appointment (all good there), I had a follow-up with my eye physician put up surgical procedure, and yesterday I lastly was proactive and went to Honda for an oil change (subsequent up: OB and mammo. Don’t be jelly). 

Easter. A go to from my sister-in-law. Return to a photograph place for a glimpse at household images we took a few month in the past (so lovely they made me cry! I’ll be revealing these quickly). Mila’s first actual live performance in Jim Thorpe, PA (Previous Crow Medication Present). It actually was an exquisite month but when I’m being trustworthy, I type of drained my social battery and now I’m able to unplug for a bit. Additionally work has been completely insane and that elusive work/life stability is nowhere to be discovered BUT! Working Mothers returns to Netflix and that additionally fills my cup. 

So inform me… How has life been treating you and what have you ever been as much as in April?
