coffee date.
happy "it's finally getting to be seasonal hot drink weather" season! let me tell you all something, and you can hold me to this; i will never be sick of seasonally appropriate food and beverages. seasonal eating and drinking IS MY JAM. give me all the gin and tonics and rose in the summer, all the pumpkin spice and old fashioneds in the fall, and all the hot cocoa and red wine in the winter (we don't have spring here really so i have no seasonally appropriate beverages for that one). i don't get all the hating on the PSL man. just let people live their lives and drink it, and if you don't like pumpkin things, then get something hazelnut or cinnamon flavored. or don't. but stop hating on my seasonal drinks!here's to a post that's not about my pregnancy, and instead about catching up with you on all things in the z household. coffee dates are the best. let's always have them.

if we were on a coffee date, i'd obviously be sipping on a hot, lovely latte. probably a pumpkin spice latte with half the pumpkin spice (or vanilla if i'm feeling old-fashioned). like i said, i am pumped up about fall coming. not only is the weather getting cooler, which means i am far less swollen and puffy, but there is also more time for relaxing and getting stuff done around the house, which is perfect for me since i'm pretty obsessed with organizing right now.
if we were on a coffee date, i'd be singing praises for the glory that is living near family. our babysitter recently left for a fabulous, open-ended trip around europe, which is awesome, but also left us with a couple months gap in childcare for one day a week. sounds easy to fill, but finding someone for one day a week is tough, then taking a maternity leave right after for four months? not happening. enter my aunt and my mom splitting the weeks to help us out. it's amazing. my mother-in-law, who regularly takes care of amelia two days a week just told me that she would be happy to take amelia one day a week while i'm on leave to help me take a break. we are never in need of babysitters or people to help us out with our yard work or anything else we might need. i'd highly suggest that if you are ever able to, you live near your family if you get the chance. it's pretty dang great.
if we were on a coffee date, we'd probably talk about the fact that i'm feeling like a terrible friend. on average, i've been responding to texts four days after i get them (which is ridiculous), i've been terrible about locking down friend dates, and just in general i've been a lump of a human being. i'd want to know that you feel like that sometimes too. because i can't be the only one who does this from time to time. i mean, if you're the type of friend who is amazing all the time, then you can tell me about what that's like too, because i have no idea. and i'd want to learn from you. teach me your ways, or at least tell me that you understand me on some level. that would make me feel better.
