(Composed last weekend)<\/p>\n
I am still running on “high.”<\/p>\n
I just got home from my FIRST overnight trip away from Baby Cal and Gwyn… BY. MY….SELF.<\/p>\n
And all I can say is….. Wow.<\/p>\n
I had so many emotions running through me this weekend I don’t even know where to begin!<\/p>\n
One of my best pals invited me to tag along with her to this show called Farm Chicks in Spokane. Knowing my love affair with the craft fair, she had a pretty good feeling that I would enjoy this event. She, her sister and her mom have put on a booth at this event for the past three years, and from what I knew about my friend and the way she decorates, I had a pretty good idea what her booth would be like… and if there were OTHER booths similar to hers… then I was certain I\u00a0would be in heaven.<\/p>\n
And boy, was I.<\/p>\n
To get the most out of this opportunity, she invited me to stay the night with her up in Spokane, coming into town early on Friday, with the show starting on Saturday. This way, I could help them out with setting everything up and then get a sneak peak at all the goods before the shoppers were let loose the next day. What. An. Opportunity.<\/p>\n
My girl, Ginger<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
I bought a couple more unique, vintage-y items for Gwyneth’s room, some silver pieces like candle sticks, serving trays, serving spoons, etc., for my mom, and two hat boxes for myself. I like to put bathroom items in those like toilet paper rolls or feminine products that you want close but don’t want exposed.<\/p>\n
Where were my kiddos, you might be wondering?<\/p>\n
Gwyn spent the night at her Grammie’s house, and The Hubby took care of Cal. I had stocked up enough milk prior to the event that he had plenty to get by on, but The Hubbs was in charge of his care. He kept me up-to-date on the Little Man’s feedings by uploading a feeding tracker to his phone, in which he’d send me the times making me very happy. He also sent me texts and pictures which made me smile. And sometimes they even made my milk come in, in which I’d then need to pump. Dangit.<\/p>\n
I did miss my little family while I was gone. I found myself daydreaming about them. And every time I saw a little baby I would think about Cal. And every time I saw a little girl buying\u00a0jewelry\u00a0from our booth with her own money with Mom right by her side, I couldn’t wait for that to be Gwyn and I. And every time I saw something I liked, or something that my hubby would like, I wished he was there so that I could show him.<\/p>\n
But, I feel like I needed this little mama get-away. I was getting a little overwhelmed from returning home from our trip to Portland and having to do all of the laundry and re-pack our family for Reno in the next couple days. I tried to do most of this before my Girl Trip so that I wouldn’t go crazy upon return, which I am very thankful for now as I sit here and type.<\/p>\n
So now that I am home and sit here reflecting on the experience, I decided that I will attend Farm Chicks every year for the rest of my life.<\/p>\n
It is my Disneyland.<\/p>\n
If you are in the area and have the opportunity to check out Farm Chicks in the future, you MUST. It will NOT disappoint!<\/p>\n
I’m pretty much ready to re-do our house now.<\/p>\n
