slow down for a snow day

1/7/2017

First toddler sledding day
We are big fans of snow days over here! They usually only come once or twice a year, so we don't usually have time to get sick of them. Our city also doesn't have enough salt trucks or plows to handle all of the icy roads, so we get to completely shut down for a day or two.

It's even better when no ice has weighed down power lines, and we are still cozy with all the comforts of home (internet, heat and all) like today.

Rowan wanted to sled like the big kids for the first time, so we had to improvise with a plastic storage box. It was a pretty good solution thanks to Zack's ingenuity, and he didn't topple out even once! I'm also proud of myself that I didn't take any pregnant-falls on the ice, even though everything is pretty much like ice skating.

I don't really have anything monumental to share other than our funny storage box idea.. hahaha! But I just wanted to remember this day, because it's been really fun. I also have a recent obsession with Enneagram tri-types and instincts this week, and I just really want ALL my friends to take Enneagram tests so I can know what everyone's dominant type (and wing) is. In between building snowmen, taking naps and playing board games, you should get on that right now and tell me what you are. If you don't, then I'll feel like a big piece of my friendships are missing -- like the type 4 wing 3 that I am. Ha!

Summit Birmingham / North Pole Santa
When I would picture having kids, I thought I would have zero desire to ever do the whole Santa Christmas photo shebang.  But then you really have one, and you want them to do ALL THE THINGS!  Last year at Christmas, Rowan was just a wee thing, so this year was his first Santa experience. ​

Film Festival with the Family - Downtown Birmingham Sidewalk VIP lounge at the Sidewalk Film Festival 2015
A film festival is a happy place for me, but I never expected to handle the movie madness while pregnant (last year) -- or much less with a baby (this year)!  

Restaurants downtown with no highchairs, concerts or parties with 10pm start times, and film festivals are probably at the top of the "not family friendly" charts. Then if you're pregnant, you have sitting for long periods of time, long bathroom or food lines, August weather, walking between venues, emotional movies making you lose it...  You get the picture.

Maybe it's my love of films -- or that the Sidewalk Film Festival is so fun, but I figured out some tips on how to survive while "pregsie" or with bébé in tow.

Birmingham, Alabama, USA:
If you live somewhere else in the world, you might've only heard of or associated Birmingham with the civil rights movement. Others may have no associations beyond the fact that it is situated in the deep south, and so their stereotypes and judgments fall as they may.  For me, Birmingham is my home with many sentimental aspects -- but even more than that -- it has progressed and grown with the times in ways that legitimately make me proud to live here again.
