- In preparation for our anniversary get away I'm going to do everything in my power to make this experience as simple for my mom as she fills the role of caregiver for our boys while we're gone. Also... I can't believe it's been 10 years since Josh and I said "I do"!

This video was packed full!! Your chickens are beautiful, I'm also grieving the end of my strawberry preserves, your wedding pictures are lovely! Alec driving around and tending to the chickens was so fun.
It was a VERY busy and productive day and weekend. 😅 Alec was really the star of the show. I can’t wait to look back at this video years from now. ☺️
Happy Anniversary!!! 🎉🩵
Thank you!! I feel SO old. 😂 Like the kind of old we thought we’d never be as kids haha.
Wow, I was really feeling the mental load of taking care of the house and kids and chickens and thinking of all the things you needed to pack! Of course, all that went away while you were on your trip (except for all the extra cleaning and renos you took on while there) but it seemed like a fun mission.
It really was a very busy day! Any other day I would have been going insane playing referee for the boys all day, but Jackson was gone at a friends most of the day so it was a breeze mentally. 🤣 Even all the work on our trip kid free still felt like a break. 🤪
Sweet 💗
Thank you. 😊
"Oh my balls", lololol
I was baffled that Jackson didn’t say it when I pushed him. 🤣🤦🏻♀️
awwwwwwwwwwwww...... (why did I keep tearing up??) There's a lot to be said for alone time as a couple. Glad you both got it.💙💜
It was a lovely day. 😊 I kept thinking that it’s going to be so fun to look back at this video in several years. It was also a lovely trip! It was long overdue.
So glad you guys had a chance to get away. My husband asked what I wanted for a my birthday the other night and I was like oh nothing. Thought about it for an hour and told him what I wanted we couldn’t do because I don’t think our son is ready for an overnight yet (he’s only 13 months).
Thank you, it had been too long!
It’s hard leaving them when they’re that little! Especially if you contribute to their food intake. 😅 And it’s another thing to think of something to do that’s not actually what you want to do. 🙃 I left Jackson for 2 nights at 9 months old but didn’t leave Alec until he was almost 2. 😅 I hope you get to do something for your birthday that makes you happy!!! 😊 💕
@@SimplifyingTheSatherns We’ll see what ends up happening. Last year for my birthday was the first time we left baby boy at all just to go to dinner and that was hard but really nice at the same time.
So I might try to get a reservation somewhere I love for dinner. Or maybe a message…that sounds magical. 😂
A year ago I bet that was very hard with him being so young! Maybe this year you could get away with dinner AND a massage if you’re not doing anything overnight. 😝 You deserve it! But I see where you’re coming from.. it’s very relatable actually. It’s easy for me to recommend doing nice things for yourself, but harder for me to practice what I preach. 😅
@@SimplifyingTheSatherns LOL I know exactly what you mean. I’m always telling everyone else they need to take time away and recharge. But am I doing it…no 😂
It was so crazy to leave him for a few hours when we he was only a few months old. But once I did it I was like okay we all survived, and mom and dad had a really nice time…I got to eat hot food…you know all the things you take for granted pre-kids.
Maybe I’ll be gutsy and test run an overnight at my in laws when we just go to dinner so if it’s a disaster we can swing by and pick him up. 🤔
So glad you guys get to spend quality time together. I wasn’t that lucky to have family support with my kids. They are grown now so it got easier but man it was hard. Looking back now that they are grown, I don’t know how we survived. Oh, I must have missed the electrolyte that you’re using in another video, what is it? Thanks!
It was long overdue! That sounds so challenging. My mom is really the only one we have who watches the boys but whenever my husband talks about moving I say only if my parents come. I don’t know if I could survive these early years with the support we have. I’m glad you made it though. 😊💕
This is the electrolyte powder. Which I’m now thinking I spelled wrong. 😅🤷🏻♀️ amzn.to/3WIFwOR Raspberry, Blue Raspberry are my favorites. But Lemonade and watermelon are also good! My Dr. said I needed to start having a big glass of water with electrolytes in the morning and it’s impacted my energy in such a positive way. No longer craving sugar was also a bonus!!
Can you share which electrolytes you use/like? Love your videos!!!
Thank you for watching! 🥰
These are the electrolytes. amzn.to/3WIFwOR
Both raspberry flavors are my favorite. But watermelon and lemonade have also been a win in the household. 😅 Having a big glass of this in the morning has made such a positive impact on my energy on top of no longer craving sugar.
