Hello out there! It’s been tough finding time to blog since I started working part-time. I wrestle with the idea of quitting blogging all together, and it always makes me too sad. For now, I’ll still be popping in to share when I can. Speaking of the job (I’m working as a virtual school psychologist for a bit, since so many schools are struggling with the pandemic), it’s been a big learning curve to return to the field after 7…
The less important advice I wish I had received before I had kids:) Get an upholstered headboard. You will be thankful you have something soft to lean against in the middle of the night because you will be awake in the middle of the night for various reasons for years. Never get too comfortable with a sleep schedule. It will likely change. Never buy white anything – your clothes, their clothes, household items…just don’t do it. Similar to introducing fruits…
Hello, It’s been a weird week because Matt was traveling and we’ve had a guy here working to update our fireplace! I can’t wait for you to see the finished product. It was a bit loud and our normal play space was out of commission so we’ve had a lot of skipped naps (Em is like every 3rd day now anyway). I’ve been hanging out in our play area upstairs and it’s so nice and sunny. I need to hang…
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…
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…
-Emerson is getting so into performing and reenacting scenes from movies that I think I need to send her to a school for the performing arts! -Sleeping on my stomach again is absolutely delightful. -I am loving having hot yoga back in my life. It’s such an amazing practice for me right now – although finding the time to go/getting out the door is hard. -Avery is growing up so fast! I can’t get over how smiley she is in…
-We are having beautiful weather this week. I cannot remember the last time I was cold, but I actually had to go inside when I was having lunch! -Anyone else have a toddler who went through a 3-year-old sleep regression? I was thinking the earlier wake-ups and crying more at bedtime was related to going back to school and her sensing the coming change. But, then I read that it’s common for this developmental stage. -Every night Matt and I…
This beautiful star mobile from Friday Street Project on Etsy. I saw something similar by Pehr, and this one was half the price and custom! This recipe for salmon burgers. I’ve made it three times now with fresh salmon from the skillet + gf panko and it’s a good one. Reusable food storage bags – How did I not know these exist? I actually bought them to store my pump parts in and will be getting more (maybe the silicone ones)…
I have been to the movies approximately once since Emerson was born, but really want to go see this and this! These cows with blowouts made me laugh out loud. I want an excuse to make this party spread. These shorts are awesome and I’ll probably wear them next summer too. This time of year I always dream about our honeymoon and this hotel specifically. I don’t think I’ll ever find a view that’s better than this as long as…
