The park was poppin’ yesterday.

When I say that THE ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD OF STREETERVILLE was out yesterday, I truly mean it.

It was a BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL day and everybody was soaking up every second of it.

Snacks were being passed out, babies were being passed around, spiked kombuchas were shared.

I remember feeling this same type of way around this time last year.

We crawl out of our respective holes and the combination of sunlight and community and park giggles are just so dang GOOD FOR THE SOUL.

We spent 3 hours at the park after school yesterday. It made for a rushed evening and a chaotic morning. But I, for one, will make the tradeoff ANY DAY to have evenings like yesterday.

I had to snap this picture of Ishu’s dinner plate.

Scoop of Goodles. Two pouches. And a handful of yogurt chips.

These are what we call “summer dinners.” When you’ve spent all your cooking time outside so you get what you get and you eat it because you’re ravenous after running around for hours.

So excited to be on the end of this whole winter thing.

Grateful grateful grateful.

Hope you have a beautiful day, everyone. <3
