"Expectation is the thief of the present!"

This is so true for me and something I am working on overcoming! I plan out how things should go in my head and only to be disappointed when they don't go exactly according to my fictitious plans!

So when the weather starts to get warm, I dream of what my summer looks like. Then end of August comes around and I'm scrambling to see and do everything.

Last summer, was my first summer after being back to work from my mat leave. I was yearning to spend and enjoy every moment with Grayson as I had missed the time we spent on mat leave together. I decided to make a summer bucket list of all the things we were wanting to accomplish.

We accomplished 17/20 items on the list and Mark and we have said numerous times it was truly one of our best summers ever!!
