It’s a happy Friday here because my mom is here to spend a week with me and Finn. š Speaking of Mr. Finn…he’s 13 weeks old today! Craziness. I think now seems the time to transition to saying he’s “3 months” instead of the number of weeks when people ask how old he is?
Here’s what we did yesterday in a very relaxed day in the life style of post.
Finn usually sleeps until 8-8:30 but on Thursday he was up around 6:45 a.m. I had an early breakfast of two scrambled eggs, a sliced peach and a piece of buttered sourdough toast.
Next up was a walk! Since the forecast called for temperatures in the 90s, I wanted to beat the heat and get our walk done early. We hit the trails and greenway for just under 3 miles.
When we arrived back it was time to get ready to go to the airport to pick up my mom.
Our first stop upon her arrival was Amelie’s where we enjoyed a nice lunch spread + some sweet treats.
I ordered half a turkey and brie on a croissant with a side salad.
And a blackberry basil macaron. I also had a little slice of my mom’s eclair.
Back at home we had a very lazy afternoon of lounging around the house and watching Finn be cute. He took an awesome late afternoon/early evening nap that started on me. Always the sweetest thing ever.
While he slept, I was able to cook a yummy dinner for us using the eggplant I had from my weekend farmers market trip. You can never go wrong with eggplant parmesan!
The finished product! I served it over spaghetti with a sprinkle of fresh basil.
We took a post-dinner walk around the block and then did Finn’s bath and PJ routine. We finished the night on the couch with ice cream and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, which I started again from the beginning so my mom could see it because it’s so good.
Even after his long afternoon/evening nap, Finn fell asleep around 9 p.m. and minus two feedings in the night, slept until 8:30 a.m. this morning. I call that a BIG win!
Glad your mom is there.
Glad your mom is visiting for a couple days <3
Iād love to know your eggplant parm recipe!! Looks so yummy.
How nice that you have the beautiful walking/running trail near your house… and how especially nice to have mama in town!
So happy you have your mom’s support for the week! There is nothing sweeter than watching a grandparent and grandchild together ā¤ļø
What a lovely post! Cutest pic of Finn falling asleep on you xx
So happy for you that your Mom’s their for a week! Wow! Finn slept really good and let you have a great night’s rest also! Have a great weekend Jen!
Yay for your mom visiting! What a lovely thing for all of you. š
Finn is getting cuter by the day!
I find myself telling “the story of last night’s sleep” every. single. morning! Crazy what a difference a good night of baby’s sleep makes (for him and for me!). And grandmas are the best! My mom takes Lu once a week and I swear he always has a great night’s sleep after spending the day with her.
I’m sure someone at some point has suggested this, but please please write a cookbook!! (In all your spare time, ha!) Or write one with your dad. Or both! I will buy them all š
That sounds like such a sweet day! Enjoy your time with your mom!
Hi! Love following you as I have a 12 week old boy! I happened to notice that you have the bob seat on recline. I didnāt realize this right away on mine, but that part can fold up so it is more compact. There are red steps that bring that part up more. Not sure if you care or if your car seat adapter doesnāt allow for that but thought I would share just in case!
Have fun with your mom! Those trails look so shaded and relaxing.
I heart everything about this post!! Those trails look amazing and Finn is a doll sleeping on you and YAY FOR TIME WITH YOUR MAMA! Also that macaron looks downright heavenly – have a wonderful weekend!
Do you have a favorite recipe for the eggplant parmesan? I’m due in 2 days and trying to help this babe along š
Have you seen the Season 2 teaser for Mrs. Maisel?!? I can’t wait for it to come back!! I loved Season 1 so much! Glad your mom is with you and Finn. Moms make everything sweeter. š
Iām happy to hear your mom is visiting for awhile. Your day sounds nice and relaxing.
Per your recommendation I started watching mrs. maizel, Iām only a few episodes but really like it. I just have to find the time at the end of the day to watch it where I donāt fall asleep ?
So glad to hear you’re enjoying it! š
