Gotta love long weekends!

Gotta love long weekends!

Every weekend should be a long weekend. Ever since I did that year of four-day work weeks, following my return to work after maternity leave, I’ve been convinced that the world would be a much happier place if we all had a long weekend every weekend. (Yes, yes, I am aware of the gaping holes in my plan…ignore them please!)

This weekend was an especially good long weekend – St. Patrick’s Day on Saturday, and Mother’s Day yesterday. I had lovely posts planned for both of them, but in the end, we were at home visiting both sets of grandparents, and Little Man’s aunts, uncles, and cousins, and so I got a bit distracted! I have a tendency to be a little too attached to my laptop, iPhone, or iPad, and a bit too connected to the internet. So I think it’s good for the soul to take a little break from the online world every now and again, and immerse myself in the real world instead.

And what a perfect weekend to do it – the weather was just lovely. Little Man is currently sound asleep, and has been since shortly after 8pm, despite a three hour nap earlier today. I put this wonderful sleep down to all the fresh air he got this weekend. I’ve mentioned before that our little house has only got a teeny tiny garden, so I think when Little Man goes to visit his grandparents, the urge to run and run and run outdoors just takes hold of him. Despite the fact that his nose was blocked and he was feeling a bit under the weather with a head cold, there was no keeping him indoors this weekend.

Hope you all enjoyed your weekends as much as Little Man did! A belated Happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone and Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mamas out there!
