This will be short and sweet today, I think so anyway.

We are off for a weekend away tomorrow so I have a couple of last minute things to organise before an early-ish night to rest before our drive.

Wee Daftie’s finished bug hotel. Isn’t it grand?

This morning we were all off work and school so Daddy Daftie and Wee Daftie had some breakfast so I could head out for a run. We had thought about doing a scoot and run with me and my girl but the weather wasn’t great for scooting so we figured we’d run/scoot together another day when we’d both enjoy it more.

A swift (only joking. I run slow) 45 minutes later of a walk-run-walk, I was home and ready to hang out with my favs.

And here’s one of them doing her favourite thing

We recently painted our bedroom and are on the hunt for curtains that don’t clash horribly like our current ones do.

Don’t get me wrong, I love a mismatched colour scheme as much as the next person but I also want to feel peace and calm in my bedroom and our current ones provide none of that.

We headed after breakfast for a wander and curtain mission. And we were mildly successful.

We came home with some artwork for the big room, placemats and coasters for the table, salt and pepper shakers, wool and needles for my next project, a pink sparkly rubber ducky for Wee Daftie and no curtains!

At least we had a good time!

Okay so it may not be curtains but it is lovely.

We got home and packed for our trip before I left Wee Daftie and Daddy at home to go and see my two work besties.

I am very lucky that I like the team I work with but these two are my very favourites. They have been so supportive and just great friends these past few months. I saw them around Christmas last year so it was good to have a proper catch-up and gossip about things.

One of them and I started on the exact same day, in the same role. We used to show up together and leave together as our hours were the same. One of the kids we work with stopped us one day and say, “Are you two sisters?!”

Now, I don’t believe we look alike – but to be fair I don’t think I look too much like my biological sisters – but our friendship is very important to me and I definitely see her as family.

Some families you are born into and others you make. I am so thankful for all my family and would choose them all again, every single time.
