A Mostly Undocumented Fall Break - Whimsical September

Though you wouldn’t know it from my iPhone’s camera roll, the girls were out of school all last week for Fall Break. I barely took pictures or created any Instagram Stories of anything we did, so I guess you could say that I was on a bit of a unintentional social media break. 😉 I can usually enjoy my surroundings and my kiddos while still snapping away, but for some reason last week I found myself completely uninterested in any “documenting”.

We really had a great week though! We enjoyed extra slow mornings in pajamas, crashing in friends’ living rooms for play dates, running out for dinner and a movie with girlfriends, deep cleaning our home, whipping together homemade pizza, snuggling up to watch Netflix, hanging in the backyard most evenings, and hosting dear relatives from Nebraska for a weekend of fulfilling family fun.

{Jamie had Army Reserve obligations the last couple weekends, so we had a good chunk of enjoyable girl time snuggled up in mama’s bed.}

{J & I deep cleaned the playroom one night and donated an entire trunkful of toys the girls long ago lost interest in. Hallelujah.}

Let’s chat!

Do you like to travel during Fall/Spring Break? Or would you rather enjoy the “off” time at home relaxing?

What are your favorite games to play with family, friends, or your children?

Hi! I’m Erica, and I absolutely adore sharing my life on this website with you! I come here almost daily to blab about all of the things related to being a regular wife and mother in today’s ever-evolving society. I share about our new home, what’s on our kitchen table, what we’re hanging in our closets, where we’re traveling to next, my crazy 5 a.m. work outs, how I make time for girlfriends, our faith, and much more. We always have a lot of balls in the air and somewhat thrive on the chaos. I believe in the power of story-telling as a form of inspiration and entertainment, so I’m here to do both! I was born and raised in north Alabama and recently re-planted roots here again after my husband transitioned out of the Army (he is now in the Reserve and it’s going so well!) I’m a super proud mom to three little girls (ages 7, 4, and 1) who seem to be the stars of the show around here (for good reason – they’re pretty great!) I’m so glad you found me and are here reading! I hope we can get to know each other here on the blog as well as Facebook and/or Instagram. xoxo

Let’s chat!
