This year was my first Mother’s Day as a mother of two and it was DOUBLE the fun! We celebrated all weekend long!

It started with Truckeroo on Friday afternoon. I threw both kids in the car and picked Ben up from work at 5. Then we drove over to the Navy Yard to attend the food truck festival. They had lots of delicious food and live music. They hold this festival monthly during the summer and I highly recommend it if you’re in the area!

Then on Saturday we walked in the March for Babies, which raises money to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality. The weather was beautiful, though a little warmer than we expected, and the walk was very scenic.

Saturday night we had a very little date night. After the kids were in bed, we walked down the hill and had wine and desserts at a newly reopened wine bar. It was delicious but I started feeling sick, so I came home and went straight to bed (side note: I normally do a dream feed at 10:30 before I go to bed, but I skipped it on Saturday night since I was so tired. But Campbell slept until 6:45 — a whopping 11 + hours!! So I have been skipping the dream feedings every night since then, but sadly she has woken up an hour earlier each night, so I think tonight I will be going back to the dream feed.)

On Sunday morning, Ben and Sam went out early to get some breakfast supplies and flowers while I stayed in bed with Campbell. Then I was treated to a lovely homemade breakfast and beautifully colored Happy Mother’s Day card. Later we went to Rustico for a delicious lunch. Sam and Ben had the biggest french toast I have ever seen! That evening, Ben made flour tortillas for tacos, grilled up some Mexican corn, and made me a delicious Tequila Sunrise, which is my favorite drink these days! It was a great day filled with lots of outdoor time, delicious food, and family!
