I feel that way too. I miss my old life of occasionally going out to eat and doing little fun shop trips with the tiny human BUT now I pretty much loath to be around people who aren’t in my “bubble”. Btw adore Scrabble. I have my moms really expensive wooden box edition with the spinning game top and drawers. I…

Ug. With the way it’s been, I’d be lugging at least one back into a window. 

I made pot roast with egg noodles and root veggies actually this week. So good that it disappeared quickly. Your post reminded that I’m using making pickled beets around this time of year ... I’ll have too see if I can find the yellow ones the next farm market visit. 

Right ? I’ve never switched back and forth so much. Heat on in the middle of the night as we’re freezing suddenly ... off in the morning. Turn on AC around lunch as suddenly it’s humid and hot than off after dinner. Than repeat the whole cycle 

Been gloomy weather wise here. Lots of fog, rain and humidity (is this the new fall?). Fortunately school, all things Halloween & Cosmic yoga have kept us sane. We did manage a beach & donuts visit today tho. So that always equals happiness. Trying to hold onto every second of outside. Winter is coming (in more ways…

I’m making the tiny human’s unicorn costume for Halloween ... no photos yet as it’s just started but I’ll post something when it’s done ;-) 

Hmmm good to know if things go South here

Truly ... we are mainly Ukrainian and English but married in family are VERY Italian and over the years it just became our tradition too. We also celebrate Christmas in July to honor our Ukrainian heritage 

I don’t blame you on trying to get the lay of the land. When we bought our house it was a very sudden and last minute thing. We had been renting to buy when we were suddenly notified to leave immediately as the home had been sold. We scrambled and found a home and moved both home & business in less than 6 weeks. It…

I think that’s my biggest worry for my 3YO. She’s only had a handful of play dates with her best friend since March and it’s totally obvious both girls are desperate for interaction with kids their age. Her parents and I are trying to social distance as much as possible so that we can get them together. 

I totally understand. I could cook very basic things in the beginning of my relationship with my husband but for the first 10 years, he did the majority of it. Than my mom died and I really missed her cooking. It really made me feel both empowered and and closer to her by cooking favorites of my childhood. And now I…

Yes me too with the milk in sleepytime. I do drink black tea tho ( tetley British blend ) with milk & sugar. People think I’m odd.

I truly try. In all this madness I just want her to have good memories 

Sending all the positive vibes. If it’s any consolation, we went through something similar with my dad a few years back. He came through just fine. 

There so many fall oriented things to do too but finger puppets are always a fun thing as they are so customizable. We try to eat healthy but I admits I already have plans to make spooky cookies this week after making cupcakes last week. I just want to do things that my 3 YO can enjoy and we’ll reap the benefits in…

Have you seen how they think singing spreads Covid more ... apparently since singing causes you to project more, you having a larger spread of germs. 

oooooOooooo I LOVE THAT MOVIE ... that may also be why I’m a bit odd. I watched that movie way too much as a child on Disney. Great idea !!!

Chamomile is great to help relax or sleep. I use a tea called Sleepytime that’s a blend of that and other tea. Also I truly am sorry about my comment early. I have an auto immune disease and have maybe 3-4 drinks a year. The hot toddy I usually use when I have a nasty cold almost like a natural Nyquel. I was just more…

It is. First world problems I suppose in the scheme of things but still it hurts my heart not so much for me but for my child 

I agree !!! I’m lucky that my particular street usually doesn’t get kids trick or treating. My tiny human isn’t even quite 4 so she has no expectations thank goodness than dressing up and seeing her friend and my parents for dinner later. That said, I think what so hard is that’s October and we are still trying to…
