Oh boy. It has been...too much. Too much snow. Too much work from home. Too much yucky cold/flu/fever/etc. This winter has really kicked our arses and has been full force beginning with the new year. Nothing like a snow day for a kid but for a wfh-ers it can be a bit. I love being home compared to doing the dreaded commute to work, but for those who think it's all ponies + peonies, working from home with a toddler is no piece of cake, especially when he's now feeling under the weather. My poor little strawberry muffin. I feel so bad when he looks at me with these confused sad puppy dog eyes internally whining "mommy, I feel yucky, make me all better!". I know buddy, I'm trying. Luckily, we're still nursing here, and that is one super easy way to comfort my sickling. So here we are, yet another weekend aftermath of blizzarding but on the brightside the Pats won! which means the city will be celebrating with yet another title win and parade once the blizzard remnants have passed.
Lately I've been trying to get into the swing of some home decor updates and changes... which means Home Goods here we come! Especially now that all the holiday decor has been put away..slowly. I was at a loss of how to decorate January but luckily or lazily... it's February! Which means Valentine's Day! which means I'll throw some hearts up and rosy pinky flowers and call it a day.
With my little guy in daycare, I decided it's never too soon to start courting a love interest for him. So yesterday as a segue from his Elmo/Minnie cartoon marathoning, I put out some finger paint for him to create some Valentine masterpieces. This kid did not like the finger painting. similarly to when I attempted to have him make snow angels. So I let him have at the paintbrush and the kid had.a.ball. Covered head to toe in paint but enjoyed it. I can't believe my baby is doing big boy things. On one hand you want them entertained so you can get a break but on the other hand you want to keep them safe and sound in a playpen.. ha! This kid would not even.
In other areas, I just tested two overnight oats recipes..uhm yeah, where have these been all my life! Currently eating out of a glass pickle jar as I type... don't judge. I did a cookie dough themed one and recently a banana peanut butter concoction. I love the idea of putting it all together night before. Going to bed, forgetting about it and them somehow remembering in the morning, and getting giddy like a teenager cause instant breakfast! And the kid likes.. so yeah winner.
Back to work. Oh and the groundhog says 6 more weeks of winter! Boo! Hope you all are staying cozy.
