How to stay active when you hate exercise

This was the best holiday weekend ever! I worked retail the last three years, so having the whole weekend off felt like a dream. Thursday was Lyla’s first Thanksgiving. We spent the day with my family eating well and watching football. Friday she experienced her first Skates family Christmas tradition: decorating for Christmas with wassail and festive snacks at my parents.’ Saturday we had a cozy day in while it poured rain decorating at our house with Christmas records playing. Today we took her to Sunday school for the first time and she did great! This holiday season feels so much sweeter with our little angel. 👼

Happy 10th birthday to the sweet store that defined so much about my newlywed years. When I found out I would be moving to Lexington, it was my little daydream to work at Twirl. Even though I worked primarily at their sister store Meant to Be, any Twirl Girl will tell you it’s one big family. The year before I got married was, to be brutally honest, one of the worst of my life. My confidence was completely shot. I thought I had nothing to offer professionally. I just wanted a fun job that wouldn’t suck the life out of me. What I got was a community of women who were all about celebrating the beauty, brains, and boss-lady-ness of our brides and one other. Anyone who worked there was automatically your friend and cheerleader. @tymcbrayer is the mama bear that holds it all together. When one of her girls talks, she really listens, offering wisdom, sympathy, or a kick in the butt when needed. Twirl gave me friendships in a town where I knew no one, and restored my confidence by providing opportunities to shine. I can’t say enough about what this place means to me and how truly honored I am to have been a Twirl Girl for a season. Cheers to 10 years!

We had a big weekend in the Cude house! I turned 29 and Lyla turned 2 months. I’m finishing out my 20’s as a new mom with so many wonderful opportunities on the horizon for our little family. I could not be more blessed. Little Lyla at 2 months is smiling, cooing, and burping like a large man. She stopped hating bathtime and tummy time, but she still makes her opinion loud and clear on plenty of other topics. This is such a sweet season and I wouldn’t want to finish out my 20’s any other way.

This week was a hot mess express that felt a hundred years long. I’m trying to figure my girl out and sometimes I get it wrong and things go off the rails. Consequently, Lyla’s first Halloween was not even a thing. I felt really bad about that until I found this picture on Andrew’s phone. As long as she looks at me like this, I think I’m doing ok. #butalsothankyouJesusthatitsfriday
