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…
Primally Pure Baby Balm This stuff is awesome. Emerson had bad eczema behind her knees and this is the only balm that worked. It contains tallow from grass-fed cows which is incredibly nutrient dense and helps with skin cell repair (Vitamin D) + soothes skin inflammation and irritation (Vitamin K). Countersun Sunscreen Stick I love this stick because it goes on thick (and clear), so it stays in place and won’t run into little eyes. It’s also easy to apply…
It’s no secret I’m a huge Popsugar Fitness fan. I’m always talking up their videos and sharing with friends. I figured I’d put some of my favorites all in one place so I can share easily when people ask. Having access to free, high quality, motivating at-home workouts has pretty much changed my life – I’ve used these videos through two pregnancies, when traveling, and whenever I’m too tired or busy to go to the gym and deal with childcare…
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…
