...there are no boys allowed!
Last month I decided that my daughters and I needed more girl time. We spend a lot of time as a family, and we have a family dinner every other Sunday in which the girls each bring a friend, and between one girl or the other coming home for the weekend, we even manage to get some one-on-one time in between. But the "just us girls" time tends to slip through the cracks.
And I don't know about you, but if it's not on my calendar, it doesn't tend to happen at all.
So, Every Fourth Wednesday was born.
Every Fourth Wednesday Nicole, Beccah, and I make sure our schedules are clear to have some fun together.
Tonight we gathered here at the old homestead. Mark was away at band practice and we had the place to ourselves. On the docket this evening:
- Hang the bunting. Check.
- Make veggie tacos (super easy, super healthy, super yummy! Get the recipe here.) Check.
- Gobble them up. Check.
- Watch The Other Bolyn Girl. Beccah and I each read the book and have been saving the movie for a time when we could watch it together. Not so much.
We got to gabbing and giggling, and well, we just didn't get around to the movie.

I'm already looking forward to next month's Every Fourth Wednesday because it's such a joy to have my girls all to myself.
What sorts of strategies do you put into your life to make sure you spend time with the people who matter most to you? I'd love to hear how you stay connected to the people you just can't live without.
Cath, so glad you had some great girl time with your girls! And that bunting looks so great on your porch! I LOVE your porch!!
Have a great weekend!
