You’re planning out which open houses to see the night before and you’re not even looking for a new home. 

Who doesn’t love guacamole? #pictapgo_app

If I wasn’t working tonight, I’d open a bottle of wine and get an early start.

I love this time of year. King salmon and asparagus, two of my favorites. Also,So You Think You Can Dance starts back up. I know how I’m spending my time after Miles goes to bed.

Miles got up on his stool and said cook and then grabbed the pepper grinder and started adding it to the pan. I’m going to have him making me dinner by the time he’s three. #freelabor #littlechef #PicTapGo

I’m less than halfway through my shift and I can barely keep my eyes open. It’s going to be a long night.

He’s walking around with my boots on his hands roaring and pretending to be a monster. #PicTapGo

Dear Less-Than-Perfect Mom

I know you didn’t expect most of this. I know you didn’t anticipate loving somebody so intensely, or loathing your post-baby body so much, or being so tired, or being the mom you’ve turned out to be.

Sometimes you read something and it happens to be just what you didn’t know you needed. 

 “I know that you don’t believe that you’re doing your best, that you think you can do better. I know you are doing better than you think.”

i needed to see this article today, the tears that i couldn’t control while reading it were proof

I agree. I needed this after this past week and feeling like I’ve managed to do everything in my life just enough to not having anything collapse. 

Yesterday I engaged in a little retail therapy in Anthro’s sale section. I love the dress and imagine it paired with strappy sandals for casual wear and some chunky jewelry and heels to work. As for the sweatshirt, I am wearing it now and never want to take it off. The sweatshirt part is super soft and the chunky part is a cozy as a blanket. I should have gotten a couple so I could live in it all the time. 

Thank you! They are on the mend and I am very relieved. It was a bit overwhelming to have both of my favorite people sick at the same time. Let’s hope this officially closes out both flu season 2013 and unexpected hospitalizations for ever and ever.
