Ramblings of a Stay-at-Home Mom

Watching Planet Earth on Netflix with the girls'. Trying Yoga out for the first time and loving that it helps me slow down and relax. Knitting the Dr. Strange square for my Geek-Along blanket. Doing some purging this week. I completely cleaned out the Play Room to eventually turn it into the little guy's room and got rid of a bunch of toys that need new homes. Going to the city this weekend with just me and the girls'. Crossing fingers that everything goes smoothly and Mama doesn't stress out too much. Loving that Dominique is basically potty trained! She's in panties all day long (except if we go to the city), and her diapers are dry at night as well! Now just to sum up the courage to take the diapers away at night..... Enjoying my early mornings to myself during the week. I'm usually up when Keith goes to the gym at 6am, and I grab myself a cup of coffee/tea (depending on my mood), my knitting and a podcast and sit down on the couch for the next 45-60 m...

[gallery ids="2690,2691,2692,2693" type="rectangular"] Reading The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up. I finished The Kitchen House and The Help within a week, so I needed a something that wasn't so history-ish heavy. Playing Super Mario 3D Land on my 2DS. Violet really wants me to save Princess Peach, so I try to play a bit every night before she goes to bed. Watching Chef's Table on Netflix. Oh so yummy. Knitting the Groot square for the 2017 blanket Doing a lot of journaling and scrapbooking catch-up. It sucks when I fall behind (especially the journaling), but at least I leave notes so that I know what happened that day. Loving Violet's Kindergarten report card. 3's and 4's across the board! Hating the headaches and colds that have sprung up around the house lately. Both girls' got hit with colds and slight ear infections and I've been battling headaches on and off all week. Thinking of planning a Family Date for next week.

Reading Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone . I picked up The Cursed Child during the summer and re-committed myself to reading through the original books before tackling the new one. Watching The Crown on Netflix. I love historical dramas and really love how they tackled this one. Trying to start getting active again. I've been really lazy/non-motivated since the snow started, and with being pregnant again, I'd like to make sure that I'm doing something active a couple times a week, like going for a walk or doing some yoga/stretching. Cooking a little less these days. Keith is trying a new diet, which means that he can't have a lot of the food that I make. Which also means that there's a lot of leftovers to eat. Knitting all the squares from my 2016 Geek-Along Blanket together. It's a bit tedious, but I'm hoping to be done it soon. Loving that Violet seems to be making some good progress in her Speech Therapy and she's trying to make su...
