Vanilla Cake Batter Protein Balls

Hi, friends! This photo below is definitely the definition of #momlife. Here I am sitting on the couch, trying to relax after a long day when Quinn climbs onto my lap and sticks his head in my shirt. It was a flow-y, criss-cross tank top, so I totally understand its fun potential, but, hey, personal space! 🙂 I didn’t even bat an eyelash, nor did I even realize what was happening until he had already made himself comfortable. I bet a lot of moms can relate, right? While I don’t consider myself self-conscious when it comes to parenting, I definitely had a very different perception of what was acceptable with kids before I had Quinn. Having a child really changed that – and now Mal and I basically just roll with the punches, no matter what happens and where we are, especially if we’re in public.

And even though I feel better than when I was in my 20’s (yes, really), the subtle signs of aging have caught me by surprise… The other day I asked my husband, “Did I always have this wrinkle on my forehead?!”  And I couldn’t help but think… “Wow.

We were so lucky to have Hurricane Florence miss us in Charlottesville. At one point they had her path heading here but then everything shifted south. It just so happened that my parents had plans to come up for a visit for Mazen’s birthday party and our baby shower, so they escaped some gross weather in North Carolina as well. We have yet to hear a report from Bald Head Island on the status of our house there, and it might be some time before anyone is back on the island to check on things. We had the weather news on all weekend following the storm, and the footage has been so heartbreaking to see. We were glad to have Grammie + Pea here though, and we packed a lot into our weekend together. They arrived late on Thursday, and since Mazen was with Matt, we all went out to dinner at Oakhart Social  for a rare double date. Dressed up to go out! We had a great tapas meals ending with this epic s’mores bread pudding. One of the best desserts I’ve had in a while! Towers of chocolate bre
