Since I’ve been gone on vacation for two weeks, the usual weekly round-up post is being replaced today by a short update.

PAST– The biggest highlight of the past couple weeks of course was our trip to Ireland. It’s inspiring a new “Tips for Traveling with Toddlers” post. We’ve travelled with Keelan since he was an infant, both within the US and internationally, and I’ve learned a lot along the way. I’d like to share some of my favorite tips since it seems like every article I’ve run across is just rehashing the same old stuff. Most of it is useful, but I plan to include some things I didn’t read about or even think of. I’ll have it posted next week. (so I guess this is also kind of future too…lol)

PRESENT- This highlight of the weekend will be GAAM on Saturday night! My attempt to help a friend make a costume wasn’t met with total success, so we will keep working on it for a different event. Trying to make anything on “mom time” is a real challenge! So instead we are just throwing together something fun anime inspired stuff to match the event theme.

FUTURE- And the next big event after that will be PAW Patrol Live! I’m currently giving away 4 free tickets to the Jacksonville show on my Facebook page: www.facebook.com/sewgeekmama

I’ll be drawing the winner and announcing the name on Facebook on Monday, July 30th!

That’s it for me! I’m looking forward to getting back in the swing of things at home and maybe unpacking. Just maybe. So far I’ve only unpacked my make-up and hair stuff. I have priorities you know.

So what is everyone looking forward to doing this weekend?
