Paris Perfection

I wanted to share some photos from Paris!!! I am so happy the trip is over ONLY because I was stressing beforehand wanting everything to go according to plan – and it did, yay!!!! So I am really really happy. Trips with just our family take a lot of planning so a trip with 11 people took even more, but so worth it! When Tessa sent me these pictures I was giddy the entire night – like couldn’t even stop smiling. This was such a magical trip and I am so happy for all of the fun moments captured. We were all standing around and didn’t realize the time and all the sudden the tower started sparkling!!! We did a tutorial for this hairstyle I am wearing on our Barefoot Blonde Hair insta if you want to check it out.

Seeing the Eiffel Tower sparkle at night is just always amazing. It never gets old and I could watch it 100 times and still just be in awe! If you haven’t experienced it yet, definitely add it to your bucket list. This time we were here it started at 9pm and it lasts 5 minutes and then lights up every hour on the hour until midnight. But last time we were there it didn’t start til 10pm so I don’t know if there is a schedule online you could look up before?! Any Parisians want to give some advice on that!?

Today we biked 22 miles around Lake Annecy! We ended at a beach and had lunch, played at the playground, and swam in the lake. On the way home the kids fell asleep on each other and it was so cute. We went to take them to the playground once we biked back into town but they were both saying they wanted to go “night night” haha! You know it was a solid day when the kids are begging to go to bed! Even after having naps on the bike ride and at home before the bike ride. But they weren’t too tired to say hi and blow kisses to every duck and swan along the way. And to pet every dog. Which is a lot! The thing I have especially loved about being here is eating out with the family! We don’t eat out much usually and I forgot how much I love the whole experience of sitting down with the family and chatting and trying new foods. It is nice that they are getting to ages where it is manageable at restaurants too because there was a time when I always had like 10 activities and a back up ipad just in case.

Okay I will leave you with one more update! We got our first office in Arizona and outgrew it almost instantly. (PS we rented from a complex that my sis and her husband own and rent out to companies – it is so nice!!! If you want to check it out, you can find their contact info here.) Anyways, while we loved that office we needed more space so we found an amazing space that we are fixing up and revamping — its going to be sooo killer you guys!!! I really cannot wait to show you. It is really big so kind of overwhelming me in terms of decorating and filling it – but so exciting I just can’t wait to get moved in!

I will give some more updates later!!! xoxoxo
