I have really been stuck with writing lately. Yes, I know my blog is majority of my kiddo and travel. I do like to write about other things on my heart too. I think I have really been living in the now and basking in everything going on around me. I'll give just a little catch up of random things happening over here across the pond.

The annual fair is here in Luxembourg for about a month. We checked it out on half price family day. We enjoyed tons of food and people watching. Lines were pretty long so we didn't get to put B on any of the few little kid rides. Hoping to make it back without B so we can ride some rides. I'm a sucker for the carnival hype. 

 I am absolutely loving our garden in front of our place. I could eat all the tomatoes in the world. On another note is this zucchini not massive?! They were all this big. I've barely gone through half after making the pan of baked zucchini. I did half with paprika, salt and pepper. The other half parmesan, garlic, salt and pepper. So yummy to save and heat up for a snack.

 I was blessed by my sweet hubs to have a girls day trip to Saarbrucken, Germany with no baby. We indulged in pizza, Starbucks and lots of clothes. Primark is one of the greatest stores I've stumbled upon. Between getting stuck in traffic, rain to sunshine and Swedish candy this trip was just right.

 I've tempted some decorating for cheap in our place. Brynn undoubtedly figured how to get those lights that are hooked with command strips down. Now I need to re-strategize that. I've got one strong, smart baby on my hands. My sad attempt at a Pinterest heart made out of photographs to help liven up our bedroom. I need to print out some more pictures to fill in my gaps. At leafs the shape is in theirght direction? Yeah, no.

 Our routine nightly reading sesh going on. She gets her paci when we pull out the books. The best I could get was a smile behind the paci. Brad has been gone the past two weekends for pre-season. Of course we are getting lots of girl time and snuggles in.

Next up, a post on our Bock Casemates here in Lux. Have a blessed day you guys!

Catch Up.

I've been a little MIA from the blog since coming home. Everything has been nothing less than crazy. We are enjoying being back home for the summer something bad. I love to watch Brynn with my parents and all our friends. She has really grown quickly this past month and is so much fun. As you know from her 10 month post of walking…. she is into EVERYTHING. She definitely keeps me on my toes.

We went to Florida for 2 weeks 4 days after getting back from Europe. It was such an amazing trip. I hate that we can't be there longer. 

We spent some time in our college town seeing some of our best friends. That too is another place I always hate leaving.(Good thing they are headed here Friday!)

Brad and I are both back into the full swing of work. Brynn is at her first in home daycare and it's amazing. Brad is in his 2nd week of basketball camp that he puts on, loving it as always. 

We head to Iowa for fourth of July to see my dads side of the family and can't wait! They haven't seen Brynn since she was 7 weeks old. 

I have been working long and hard on Brynn's first birthday flamingo-pineapple extravaganza. Along with custom invites and pineapple flower arrangements. Let's be real, her birthday party is really actually for me. She won't remember a thing, but she will be lookin' super cute and eat lots of cake!

Lots of sunshine and pool days. 

Playing outside is our new favorite…..and eating rocks.

I feel like every summer we make all these plans. Some are getting left behind this time. We are really trying to focus on spending lots if quality time with our family and friends. The summers fly by entirely too fast. I don't want to miss a thing.
