When we were kids we’d go on adventures with my mom all the time (before we started school and then during summer vacation when we were older). We’d go to the library, park, pet store to look at animals, go out for ice cream lunch, swimming at my grandparent’s pool, just all around fun.


Today my mom and I met at a mall that’s halfway between their “new” house at the cottage and our home. 45 minutes for her, 30 minute drive for me. It was so much fun! We went to Panera for lunch and I had broccoli cheddar soup in a bread bowl (mmm) and iced green tea. Then we walked around the mall for an hour or so…just browsed, chatted and had a great time. Ben was awesome and content to just watch the world go by from his stroller. He LOVES watching cars by the way, such a boy.


Most of the time we’re home during the day. In case you didn’t know, I do graphic design/web design type work from home. So I usually don’t get the chance to do “whatever” or have adventures during the day. Today was so much fun though, I’m looking forward to having many more adventures :)
