Did Valentine’s Day turn into a sugar fest for anyone else? It was an exciting day over here because we got so many fun deliveries. My mom sent books and a craft. Matt’s mom sent Lion King stickers and glow in the dark bracelets. And then some of our neighbors dropped off treats, including a dozen frosted sugar cookies from Cheryl’s (some of them GF!). Emerson came home from school with all of her class Valentine’s and was so excited…
-We made Emerson’s class Valentine’s on Wednesday (I’m so not crafty). I thought they looked pretty good, but she started crying when we finished. Turns out, she was upset that they said ‘xoxo Emerson’ and not ‘xoxo Belle’ (aka Beauty & the Beast) on them. ha. -Em is starting to get a lot more interested in Avery and it’s so cute. But sharing is already hard. Please tell me it gets easier? -I got these sandwich thins more for Em…
7:20 – Matt wakes me up as he’s leaving so I have time to feed Avery and jump in the shower before Emerson’s green light alarm clock comes on at 8:00. Avery has been protesting eating from the left side (why??), so she eats from the right and then plays on the play mat in the bathroom while I take a shower. 8:00 – I’m throwing on some makeup when Emerson wakes up, so I go and get her and…
How beautiful are these chocolates? I agree with every point in this post about fitness in my 20’s versus 30’s. Check out this mini documentary on the mica supply chain. I didn’t know any of this. I really want to try the new face masks from Primally Pure. I need to learn how to turn anger and fear into political power. I went to high school with the Dr. who is working on the coronavirus vaccine – she is interviewed…
This is a topic I’m sure we all could use some help with! I remember when Emerson was 9 months old or so and she was eating EVERYTHING – olives, fish, beans. Basically, if it was on my plate, she was shoveling it in. Of course I thought that meant she was going to be an adventurous eater. haha. These days, she’s eating more than she was at 2.5/3, and she’s in a major snack phase. Pretty much every 15…
Anyone else glad that January is ending? It’s been a weird month! After I started turning a corner and feeling better from mono, I got hit with a cold (that maybe was worse because of the mono?) and then had a day with a terrible migraine. Fingers crossed, today was the first day in almost A MONTH that I feel normal and ready to go! It’s been so weird not having energy because there have been times (mostly Emerson acting…
Hello, Popping in with some of the things I’ve been loving lately (mostly Christmas gifts, haha). Yeti Rambler I’m not a huge Yeti person, just because of the price, but an ad for one of these displayed on my Elster page when I was looking for things to add to my wish list for my family gift exchange. And I LOVE it. It keeps my tea warm for a while, so I don’t feel rushed to drink it; I’m no…
I’ve taken a little unintentional social media and blogging break because I’m recovering from my third round of mono:( Perhaps my body is telling me I need to rest? I’ve felt great since Avery has been born (so much energy compared to pregnancy), but I guess I am more drained than I realized. I think the back-to back travel with Christmas and Florida wasn’t great either – the last recurrence was right after travel (also in January), so maybe it’s…
Hello! We are back from a little paternity leave escape to Florida. We decided to go on a road trip since Matt is off this month – we picked Vero Beach because we wanted a cute, walkable beach town. Vero was just far enough south to get warm temperatures, but still within somewhat reasonable driving distance. We stopped in Savannah for two nights on the way down and literally booked a hotel room the night before we left. The drive…
