When I woke up this morning, I wasn't so sure I was going to have the Mother's Day that one dreams of experiencing. I don't really need to be pampered or doted on, I take after my own mother on that one, but I do find myself subtly nudging everyone to do something that I would like to do on this day -- like a coupon that I can redeem, no explanation necessary. So, what did I do? I managed to get my family sort of inspired to head to a nearby park, ride bikes and have a picnic. They humored me and, honestly, it wasn't easy loading everyone and everything in the car but once we arrived at our destination it was EXACTLY as I imagined. Fresh air, smiling faces and a lazy afternoon. We played chase, ate watermelon, chocolate and cheese and my husband and I ran along side our girls' as they rode their bikes, though we ended up carrying C's bike shortly thereafter since her tiny legs seemed to get worn out quickly. It was a fun "adventure" as Bean quoted and I think it will be somewhat of a tradition from now on...Happy Mother's Day!
Before I fall into utter laziness and since we were on the topic of picnics -- I thought I would share this mini-picnic tote by FUNFAM that I spied while browsing the new issue of Milk Magazine, though I'm nowhere near fluent in French but can only speak for what I see, it just looks like the perfect little tote to carry it's own bamboo table setting for a picnic in the backyard or those special "adventures" to the park. Sweet...
