My week as a romcom: Ashley was holding down the fort solo this week, juggling daycare drop-offs, blog deadlines, and Miles’ ever-expanding social calendar while Eric was off jet-setting for work. Monday and Tuesday were smooth with daycare/cowork sessions, and Wednesday brought the usual dose of toddler chaos at music class—because nothing says “relaxing” like a room full of tiny humans tapping on drums with unbridled enthusiasm. Thursday’s Little Book Club turned into an impromptu lunch out with the crew, the kind of unexpected joy that made solo parenting weeks a little brighter. But Friday? Friday started rough. A sleepless night spent caring for their beloved old pup, who wasn’t feeling well, left her running on caffeine and sheer willpower. Just when she thought she’d have to push through one more night alone, Eric surprised her by flying home early—walking through the door just in time to see Miles before bed. And as they curled up with sushi takeout and a sigh of relief, Ashley was reminded that even the hardest weeks have their sweet, happy endings. LTKStyleTip LTKFamily LTKWatchNow
