Monday musings

So today we decided to stay home and just have a quiet day.   I have a swollen something in my throat and Katie's nose is running.  

Normally it's our shopping day but I ran out with Weldon on Sat and left KT with her Daddy for a few hours and grabbed what I really needed for this week.   Sometimes I need to remind myself that it's okay to not be super woman who shops with both kids and find a way to make it easier like shop on weekends or evenings after Daddy gets home.

Things we did/are doing this week.

Still one thing a day but we are going to try to do a social thing weekly.   This week it's a play date,  next week I'm going to visit my cousin (also a play date). (that means you Chrissy! ;-) )  

I bought a nice pair of Jeggings this weekend.   I've lost my "baby weight" but still am a funky shape which makes my daily dressing such a headache and emotional battle as I remind myself that this ol body is still beautiful muffin top and all.  So in the vein of removing stress I got jeggings.  No more muffin top and I feel like they look great.   

Trying to eat/feed Katie healthier. 

I've been just trying to survive and not focusing on our eating habits or what I was developing for Katie.  This year I want to be more intentional and that includes our diet and teaching Katie good habits.  Today that looked like PBJs, yogurt, apple slices, a cutie and finding all her carrots licked clean of Ranch and in her highchair. *eyeroll*. 

Speaking of being intentional,  I'm trying to make a habit of reading her one book a day.  Before bed or nap and bonus if it's both! 

I think that maybe being home and quiet more has not only reduced my stress level but Katies as well.   Which is great and a little heart breaking. I didn't realize how much my stress level was affecting her.   *sigh*.   

(Yay for playing outside!) 

That's all for Monday Musings!
