Phew! The sugar~fest known as Valentine's Day is over!
I ate more sugar than I care to admit yesterday!
But it turned out to be a fabulous day!
Let's review:

Let's review:
Let's start with the ugly first:
This is why I usually let my husband bbq instead of me!
I was trying my hand at some Brazillian barbecue!
Don't worry, dinner was rescued and not completely ruined!

The bad:
I kept comparing myself to all the other amazing moms around me who were doing cute things. I live near some pretty amazing {and adorable!} people! I kept eating fabulous treats our friends gave us!
The bad part is not that we have nice friends who love us, but that I couldn't stop myself from eating all that yumminess!!! I mean, look at that fabulousness!!! That's some pretty awesome {and tasty!} popcorn!
The good:
Fortunately, the good outweighed all the bad!
I pulled through at the last minute {I'm talking literally the last minute!} with a cute love bug theme for our dinner table using things I already had. And since it was turning kind of picnic-y, I used paper plates so that cleanup was a breeze!
I also found and bought a new pair of jeans ~ in the next size down! Yes!!! Sweet!!! Doing the happy weightloss dance!!!
And I wore some adorable pink boots a DYT friend gave me!
Most importantly,
everyone seemed happy last night!
That was the biggest win!
I love my family!
How was your Valentine's Day?
How was your Valentine's Day?
Do you think it was really you comparing yourself to the other Moms out there? really? hang in there. It'll stop soon. And I love what you did for Valentines day. Once I get my brain back from raising lots of little kiddos, I'll probably do the same cute thing for them someday. :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, I know the comparison thing was really bad that day but I think I've nipped that one in the bud now! :D And btw, you are already a super cute mom for your kids! They are lucky to have you!
DeleteOh, wow, how cute!! I'm glad you feel good about your get-together. My only gathering was at the apartment clubhouse but I did enjoy eating the chips and salsa, and cookies they provided. :)
ReplyDeleteOh man! Chips and salsa are my best friends {and major weakness! LOL!} Any day with chips and salsa {ok, and cookies too!} is a good day in my book! :D
