We’re going to Europe!
I’ve not been throughout the pond since I studied at Cambridge for a summer season in school. And Thomas has by no means been to Europe! My mother and father took us to London and Paris after I was in highschool after which I traveled across the UK in the summertime of 2004, however we simply haven’t had the time or childcare to make an extended journey occur…..till now. The boys begged to go to Grammy and Pea’s for 2 weeks subsequent summer season.

My sister is a seasoned journey advisor, and belief me after I let you know we spent WEEKS repeatedly discussing the place we should always go and what we should always do! We’re specializing in the Mediterranean as a result of we love heat climate and water, and we debated doing per week in a single location or cut up between two or occurring a cruise that had extra selection. Since journey days take up a number of time and power, we determined a cruise would enable us to see extra with out the trouble of packing and unpacking. We’re excited in regards to the smaller-ship / higher-end cruise line that Laura really helpful: Explora.

(Be taught extra about how we accumulate and spend bank card factors to journey right here and my favourite playing cards right here (these are affiliate hyperlinks)) I can’t wait!

This Weekend
We’re celebrating this weekend with a dressing up get together, and I’m going as a Scorpio aka Scorpion! You’ll be able to see the equipment I purchased in my Amazon Halloween store.
I don’t actually “consider” in zodiac indicators, however I’ll say that the whole lot I’ve ever examine Scorpios is true to me, so maybe I’ve fulfilled the prophecy! I’m wondering if Birch will even have an analogous persona when he’s older. I do know that we share the identical love languages (phrases and contact).
Birch turns six on the twenty ninth (yay for one more 6!) and he’s all about his birthday this yr. He’s been planning his get together for months! I can’t wait to present him his presents, together with a distant managed spider. He does share a love for Halloween <3
