While wandering around with my sleeping baby and drinking my sample cup of coffee (with actual caffeine!) at Trader Joe's this morning, I felt so thankful. I love my children, but getting out of the house with just one is like pure bliss.  Every Thursday morning while Juliet is at preschool I get a little one-on-one time with James and usually Juliet and I run a couple errands throughout the week with just one another. Although my alone time with my little ones is simple, it feels precious to me. Growing up I had Mommy and me dates and can remember looking foward to them all week. I hope the same is true for my own sweet babies.
