Times they have been busy up in here which makes this week’s Essence of Now post very easy.
Grandma came to visit for a few days.
So the husband and I snuck out for date night.
Once the weekend was over, Eco-Art garden camp started for the big kid.
After camp drop off, the little one and I head to her swim lessons. She likes the toys better than the teachers.
After swim, we make some time to play.
And also to learn.
Once garden camp ends for the day, the big one heads off to martial arts.
And then to her swim lessons. Thankfully she doesn’t cry like Layla does in the pool.
By the time this is all done, I’m ready to sit back and drink a Blood Orange Margarita (or 3) before passing out.
Now it’s your turn to join Mama Track and I with your Essence of Now post. Grab the button code in the sidebar and linkup.

Waking up early is not my choice.
Wow, you all are super busy. We always like to do date nights when my parents are here or we’re up there visiting.

It’s the only time we really get date nights so we take advantage of them when we can.

This way they can’t say “I’m bored” when we get home. Instead they say, “I’m tired.”

Summers here are always full of busyness which is good.
Blood orange margaritas are so good!
Gorgeous photos, glad you got a date night because it looks like you spend a lot of time as a chaffeur just like me.
Dude, you have no idea how much driving around I do with these kids.

Busy indeed (no wonder you need a few martinis)! It looks like fun busy, though. Hope you’re having a great weekend!

Martial arts? She’s so my people. In my head, I’m a ninja. In real life, not so much. Obviously.
That pic of H on the edge of the pool – what a beauty!
Elena recently posted..A Foodie’s Guide to Beating the Heat
I can see you as a ninja. But one that fears everything and runs away instead of fights.
