Happy Friday! It’s been a doozy of a week, so I’m changing things up a little bit today. I saw this format on another blog before, and I liked it. Behold, four truths and a lie.
ONE.
I was in a #Mexicoma for about 2.5 seconds and was fully refreshed and rejuvenated. Man, our vacation was lovely. Next week, I’ll be sharing our vacation recap and how to roll your clothes to travel with only a carry-on.
TWO.
Twenty-four hours after I returned home from Mexico, I had to re-pack my bags to go to Austin to help my sister with something. It was just the mama and mini for this trip. I went from traveling with a carry-on only to traveling with a three ring circus and the whole Frozen troupe.
THREE.
I am now in love with the Disney Jr. app. Ain’t no shame in my mama game. Eight hours in a hospital waiting room will do that to you. It’s hard entertaining this crazy girl. Thanks for telling me about it, Megan!
FOUR.
I’m really loving Snapchat right now. It’s hilarious. Thanks to my sister, I just figured out that there are filters and overlays. Say what?! A whole 10 people watch “my story” daily, so if you’re not one of those 10, you’re really missing out. Here’s a preview of what you’re missing. (Snapchat username: kristy7graces)
FIVE.
I am still rejuvinated from my Cancun vacation. That is the biggest fabrication ever. Reality came back with a vengeance. My tiredness from trying to keep up with this little ball of energy, AKA my little princess pants, is a real struggle. Throw in a day with no napping in there, and we have ourselves one tired mama. I missed her like crazy when I was gone on vacation, but I quickly remembered why I needed a vacation in the first place. Love her to death, but she keeps me on my toes.
One last tidbit for good measure. I feel like I’ve been neglecting my blog and keeping up with it lately. I’ve still been posting three times a week, but I haven’t been fully present if that makes sense. I have been so slow to return emails, comments, and read other blogs. Summer has thrown me for a loop. I hope to get back to a good routine soon now that all the main shenanigans have passed. Maybe now we can knock out some more of our summer bucket list, too. Is anyone else feeling the dog days of summer? I am ready for fall like whoa.
I hope you a wonderful weekend wherever you are! Talk to you soon.
Let’s keep in touch, shall we?
You can see where I’m linking up on this page.
I just realized you can turn your snapchats into videos recently- so fun!
Yes, it’s the best! Although, I’ve only done it once. I need to remember to save them more often. :)
Charlotte is adorable! I’d be in a Mexicoma too…that view looks fabulous!
Thanks, Jenn! It was such a relaxing vacation, but we hit the ground running when we returned. Now I need a vacation from our return. Lol.

I swear by the PBS Kids App as well! #canigetanamen. Also, for the life of me I don’t know what snapchat is.
We never watch that channel, well I should say we hardly ever watch that channel. Charlotte does like Peg & Cat. Is that PBS? Snapchat is for all the cool kids under 30. Clearly, I have no business joining in. Lol.
I LOVE watching your daily snaps.. I just need someone to teach me how to use it because I want to get into it!! HAHA I feel so old for the first time ever, I just can’t get it. I can’t wait to read about your Mexico vacay!
Literally all you do is take pictures and videos and post to your story. Well at least that’s all I do! LOL. I think there are more things you can do (like send to people) but I don’t do that. You should snap! I would love to watch!
Thanks, T! I only know how to “snap” because of my sister, and I still don’t know how to navigate much around the app. I hope to share the vacation soon! I have my packing tips scheduled for tomorrow and I’m hoping I can get the recap done by Thursday. :)
Bahahaha at the pic of the upside down sunglasses. Too cute!! I am still really jelly of your Mexico vacay. We REALLY need a vacation over here but alas we will have to wait. And I love watching your snaps, too :)
Yep, she’s a hoot. We were way overdue, and I’m so thankful we got to go. When you do get a chance to get away, it’ll be that much more special.
Happy belated anniversary by the way! I now want to go try Hugo’s. :)
Thank you!!! You HAVE to go to Hugo’s. MUST MUST MUST. They weren’t kidding when they said it was the best brunch in Houston. It reminded me of our Mexican breakfasts on our honeymoon. It isn’t Tex-Mex, it’s more traditional Mexican. They have live music and the craziest spread ever. I pretty much want to go back tomorrow!!
Hope your vacay was fabulous! Would love to get back to Mexico soon!

Thanks so much, Darcy! We did enjoy ourselves, and I’m so thankful we were able to get away. :) Hope you’re having a great week!
Oh wow, that first photo has me so jealous! I have never been to Mexico, and now I REALLY want to! Where did y’all stay? I’m glad you enjoyed your vacay!
We really loved it, although it was so HOT. We stayed at the Hyatt Zilara Cancun, and it was beautiful. :)

Ah vacation for moms… you miss your little ones so much while on the vacation, only to wish you were BACK on vacation in mere moments when you’re back home. Le sigh…. but all your pictures while you were on vacation were so glorious!! Summer is totally kicking my tooshie too. It’s flying by, and I can’t keep up. So BIG hugs too you!! We can struggle together.
Yes, Katie! You totally get it. ;) And thank you. It was a beautiful vacation.
I can never keep up anymore either. Maybe once C starts MDO, things will get a little easier? One can hope! Sending those hugs right back at you.

Sounds like you’re staying super busy! That photo of Mexico is beautiful! I can’t wait to see your recap of vacation!
Yes, for sure! Mexico was beautiful, and I would love to go back. Hope you’re having a great week!

Oh I feel ya on neglecting my blog and reading others (hence my just now commenting on this post). I’m hoping to get back into a routine soon!
