I cannot believe how quickly these days have been passing.
I feel like I'm trying to cram a weeks worth of activity into every single day.

The weather is finally getting a bit better, the sun providing us with it''s warmth.
The boys have settled into a new summer routine,

(Momma on the other hand is exhausted, but insanely happy and grateful beyond explanation.)
With the hustle and bustle comes a bit of sacrifice.
I have accepted that the dishes are not always going to be done prior to leaving the house on the morning,
