Good morning! Not gonna lie. My head is spinning as I head into this week. My daughter and I traveled over the last four days and I am crazy behind with what I need to accomplish. I was determined to be in the moment with her and it was well worth it. Here is a look back at the weekend with our Monday Morning Wrap-Up.
WHEELS UP
Flying to Las Vegas is a quick trip for us. It’s only about a 45 minute flight and it was right during sunset so we were treated to these heavenly views.
MANDALAY BAY
My daughter’s volleyball team played in the Red Rock tournament and we all stayed at Mandalay Bay. It’s the first time she and I traveled just the two of us and I loved every minute of being with her. Such a fun age and we are really lucky to have a wonderful group of girls and parents. It’s a huge tournament so it was fun to keep bumping into familiar faces throughout the weekend.
ON THE COURT
This cutie works hard and plays with so much heart. Thankful she is experiencing being on a team and all that it encompasses.
M&M’S WORLD
When they weren’t on the court, the girls were able to experience some fun outings. Have you been to M&M’s World? As you could imagine it’s floor after floor of sweets and treats. Plus a whole lot of merchandise.
The highlight was being able to personalize your own M&M’s. You can even add your own photo to them. Within five minutes you have a container of personalized M&M’s. Definitely a fun treat for the girls to take home.
MY GIRL
All in all it was a great weekend. If any of you have gone to tournaments like this you know it’s exhausting, but fun. These girls rallied and ended up playing until 3:00 on Sunday so it was a full three days of volleyball. Something tells me they will all be pretty darn tired today.
TRIED AND TRUE LOOK
sweater | leggings |sneakers | flats | tote bag (on sale)
For those of you cheering on your child in the over air-conditioned convention centers, this is one of my favorite spectator outfits. Post games, swap out the flats for the sneakers and your ready for the team dinner.
SPRING IN BLOOM
Back at the home front, Spring is here. I was taking a walk the other day and couldn’t believe this arbor of roses. So beautiful.
#TRUTH
And because I am probably not the only one dragging this morning, I thought you could use a little #truth.
Good morning, world! Let’s do this!
Had to laugh. Reading this as I’m sitting at day three of my daughter’s volleyball tournament in Dallas. Pretty much have the same outfit on!
That’s awesome!! Good luck to the girls. Enjoy the tournament.
I forgot about the M&M place! My daughter is obsessed with M&M’s…think we need a trip there asap!
She would love it!!! Personalizing the candy really was a fun experience.
This post just made me smile. . . .thinking of you two having so much fun, great mother/daughter time. These will be wonderful memories made. Volleyball is such a great sport for girls or boys too. Have a great week. Happy Easter early!
Oh, thank you!!! It really was a great bonding weekend. And I agree. Such a fun sport. Would love to see my son get into it. Happy Easter to you as well.
What a fun trip away with your girl x
I was just at the Red Rock tournament with my daughter the weekend before. We had so much fun but yes, those tournaments are exhausting!
