Friday Night.

Whether you're working from home, back to office, back to field work or a stay-at-home parent, I bet it was a LONG week. When you're a parent (or a mom like me), it's like you want to take a vacation away from your kids, but you want to take them with you. Can't explain it, but that's my life.

I, for one, had a long day. I had to juggle going to work, attending week-end meetings, bringing my eldest son to therapy, joining both my sons' school orientation online and passing by our local bookstore in preparation for their first day back to school next week (after 2 years, hooray!). I had coffee from my fave corner coffee shop, but I think I needed 2 or 3 more. It was that kind of day.

Needless to say, I prepared myself a quick gin & tonic when I got home. The dehydrated pinya (pineapple) from VALDE made this simple, honest drink sweet. Steep it a bit and it's the best. No drama. Just your plain G&T which anyone can do at home.

I didn't even bother to change the background music. I can't wait for next week. With the start of another (physical) school year, my husband and I are over the moon. We are excited for our kids to play and meet new friends, not just through the screen.

Cheers to another day!
