And I know we talked about this on IG but OOF to the cold weather drop offs and pick ups. Lily screamed like a nutter about being put in a sled to go the bus stop this week but once it was moving she was happy. But then started screaming again and then happy and then screaming...SOS! And she is also very anti mitten but angry about being cold and then grabs snow and starts sobbing...

It seems he's been waking up later? Our 15 month old has been waking around 5:30/6am but we would LOVE if he slept until 7am. Some days he'll go until 6:45am which is also much better but it's all random. He consistently goes to bed at 7:30pm (too exhausted to last longer) and he naps well in the afternoon. Maybe he'll just be our early riser...Just curious if you noticed anything that caused Porter to sleep in later or if it was just random. Thanks!

It's a nice reminder that my kids are normal. Of course I know they are, but it's still nice to have that solidarity in toddler breakdowns.

My husband hates extra clutter, but finally saw the value since I work from home and I don’t get to walk as much anymore. We have a gym membership, but I think he realized he’d use it at home as well. We’ve had a treadmill at home for a week and I love that we made that decision.<br /><br />Frozen cheese sticks and yogurt is brilliant for school lunches. Not sure why I’ve never thought of this.<br /><br />I've always kept a coat on my kid in the car seat and don't beat myself up over it. As a Minnesotan, it just seems ridiculous not to.
