I can’t believe we are still here.
When this all started, I was thinking I would get a nanny so I could get to the gym, my nails done and to the grocery store to hoard toilet paper. Boy, was I wrong. We. Are. Still. Here. In the beginning, I would get overwhelmed and emotional about every other day. Now, it sneaks up on me and hits me like a brick wall. Yesterday was one of those days. I found myself overwhelmed with the new normal, with not knowing how school would look for my kids in the fall and the perpetual fear that me going to swim at my parents’ would get them infected.

This. Is. Weird.
Know that whatever you are feeling is Ok. Whatever you are feeling is normal. Know that there is no “right” way to feel.
Phewph. Ok. Onto more fun things!
This weekend, I think that we are finally comfortable enough to spend some time with my in laws. My sister in law moved to California from Paris, so we’ve been a little anxious to be around anyone that has been flying. It will be beyond amazing to get the cousins together and spend some time with family!
Here are the Friday Five of Items that are on my mind this week.
Friday Five
1 – I saw a friend in this most flattering one piece and promptly ordered it {in navy, duh!}. Love the price points and hope these are as flattering on me as I’ve seen them on everyone else! Here is what is in my cart:
2 – I get depressed and anxious on the daily. I’ve heard great things about these CBD gummies and think I need to order them, like, yesterday.
3 – We are lucky enough to live in a country club that has the most amazing pool… pre COVID. Now, I’ve learned that we have to get there before 11am to avoid anyone. So I’ve been eyeing this splash pad almost weekly. I just need to do research on how this will work with our faux grass… thinking I just need to order it and not tell the husband. Until he hears the kids screaming with delight. Elizabeth Holmes {@eholmes}, may be known for her royal commentary, yet she had the ultimate mom hack. She got a hose attachment for her kitchen sink to make the water for her backyard kids toy lukewarm water. Such a good idea!
4 – It is no secret that I’m in love with this brow boy. {see my post all about it HERE.} The very few times I’ve done my makeup during quarantine, I use this Under Eye Brightener, this Better Than Sex Mascara, this on my lower water line and this brow pen with my beloved brow boy. Hint: practice a couple of times before you do your make-up. A little goes a long way. Do strokes that are similar in length and thickness to your real eyebrow hairs to blend. Once you get the hang of it, I promise, you won’t know how to survived without it.
5 – My favorite Amazon 7/8 high waisted leggings just came out with bike shorts! Mine just arrived in dark green. Full report coming soon!
