Today I was lucky enough to have the day off work, which I spent getting ready for a weekend visit from some of our very best friends from Memphis.

Last night I asked Iris, do you want to go to school tomorrow or stay home with me?
“Stay with you forever!”
You got it.

Iris started her day with yogurt, fruit, and Mary Poppins.

I always start mine with a fresh pot of coffee, a fresh face, and a fresh scent.

We ran to Target to pick up a couple things.
Like popcorn and smoothies.

Then we headed over to Ozark Natural Foods to load up on vegan goodies for our guests.

And in an ironic non-vegan twist, Iris has been asking to go to the ice cream shop for a few days now. So after eating a quick lunch at ONF, I decided that she would finally get her wish.
This was her face when she found out:

Iris Cream

Thankfully, Iris is still a pretty good napper, so while she rested up from our day I tidied up our house a bit.

All the sudden our weather is amazing (almost in the 60s!), so we had to scoot on over the park as soon as she woke up.

As a working mom, I really think days like this are important to have every once in a while.
Even if we all ate a little too much.
