Friday night plans: -make a cozy dinner while little hands “help” in their own chaotic way -one dessert, five spoons shared as a family -let the kids stay up a little too late, just this once -tuck them in, smooth their hair, whisper “let’s meet at target in your dreams” (their favorite place to go) -step outside for a deep breath of cool night air, moon appreciation required -sip something warm -sink into the bed, phone ignored, exhale -romanticize the joy of not packing school lunches tomorrow -go to sleep a little later to enjoy time with my husband Forever grateful for my club kid 20s and rat race 30s as it makes this simple chapter that much better in a way, you know? Teddy’s, Tropicana Bar, Les Deux - oh my! Who was there? ♥️
