After a tough year and especially a tough week, my husband and I are ready for vacation tomorrow.

We drove to Cleveland yesterday and sadly had to go to a funeral this morning. Our 8 month old nephew Becket that we got the pleasure to babysit a couple of weeks ago went in for his surgery last week and sadly passed away this weekend. We are all heartbroken. He will be greatly missed. He was a very happy, always smiling and a curious little guy ❤

After a few hours on the phone with airline companies, my husband managed to cancel our flight from NY and book us on new flights from Cleveland instead. We ended up renting a car to get here yesterday, took us about 7,5 hours, a pretty easy drive. We are very ready to go on vacation for a few days, we definitely need it.

Thor and I had a cozy weekend together while Jim was in Minnesota. I had a few plans for this weekend but because of unexpected sad news I didn’t really feel like dealing with them all. So I don’t have a lot to tell you today, we are just trying to figure out a few things for this week. But here’s cute pictures of Thor from this weekend. It’s amazing how ok he is with me putting clothes on him. I think he knows how cute he is:) 

How do you like Thor’s little scarf that I knitted for him a couple of years ago? 😀

Good Morning! As I write this, my husband is at LGA about to fly to Minnesota for the weekend. What at first was a work and football trip has now apparently also turned into a bachelor party weekend. I’m sure he’s gonna have a lot of fun with all his old buddies:)
My plans for this weekend is to put my phone on silent, snuggle Thor, read books, workout, do yoga, meditate, maybe watch one or two movies and just take care of myself. We are going on vacation next week, but we are going with other people then which will be fun but probably less relaxing, so I’m gonna enjoy the heck out of this weekend. Jim will be back late on Sunday so I get three full days alone. And then since it’s Veterans Day on Monday, we still get a day to spend with each other this weekend, yay.

I don’t want to hang out with anyone this weekend, I just want it to be me and Thor. It’s super cold and windy outside all of a sudden though. When going to get a coffee earlier I had to wear a winter coat, scarf and gloves…aah, winter is sadly knocking on our door:( But, it’s a beautiful day, so my plan is to take my little fluffer for a longer walk later.

I hope you’ll have an awesome weekend!

Hello and boo to you! Last night our building had arranged a Halloween party for all the residents. Jim was at a dinner through work, so Thor and I went to the party alone. We normally plan Thor’s outfits for Halloween but this year I really didn’t feel like it so I just grabbed something in the last minute. He had to go as a Hawaiian Beach Boy. Before we went there I took some cute photos of him in the whole outfit, hahaha, omg, he is just so damn cute! And when I dress him up or ask him for photoshoots he just cooperate and do as I tell him, my little model pup.

We were there right when the party started at 6pm. Drinks, candy, some other snacks and craft stations for the kids. At that time it was just me and Thor and 4 families. I’m gonna be honest and say that I felt pretty misplaced but I chose to ignore it. I did get some weird looks from some of the parents and I could just tell they were judging me, especially one of the fathers who walked around holding their 4 month old baby while staring at me the whole time. I felt like that crazy dog lady who walks around with her dressed up tiny dog and feeds him small bits of carrots and talks to him like he is a human (which is true though, I do do that haha, plus I didn’t want T down on the floor with all that chocolate around and carrots could occupy him and keep him quiet). But hey, they don’t know my story, they don’t know that I’m not allowed to have a baby of my own that I can walk around with just like they are with theirs. So if the neighbors wants to judge me and now think that I’m the crazy dog lady of the building, then so be it. Plus I rather had Thor with me than sit by myself in a corner hahah. 

We had a good time, Thor was popular. Eventually I could tell that Thor was getting a bit too excited with all the kids on a sugar high so I grabbed a drink and some snacks and went back home. An hour or so later Thor had to go out to potty again (he drank lots of water when we came home) so I put his little outfit on again, went potty and went back to the party. I talked to some neighbors I know, grabbed another drink and some candy and then back to enjoy it at home:)
