my thoughts on motherhood, kids, books and stuff
Hey Seattlites! Just some advice. If it is still in the rainy season and you go to put on a helmet that got left outside…look inside it first.

I had a really great start to my week. I got up early each morning and didn’t even lay down on the couch. Not even for Oprah. I went to be earlyish (11:30pm)…twice…which is also impressive if you know me. I tried out three new recipes just so I could use up some fresh ingredients [...]

We went to the zoo today with the kiddo’s and my brother’s family. It was warm (hot even) and the sun felt so great. Everyone else thought the zoo would be a good idea on a sunny day so it was pretty busy, but once we got in we hardly noticed. So this post really [...]
