the “get it all done” trap
Laundry folded? Yes. Laundry put away…remind kids to put their piles away. EK needs to sweep so I can ideally mop the floor of the kitchen. I love walking barefoot on a clean kitchen floor. Did I remind them to pick up the toys in the play room? Oh, gotta do the usual weekly grocery…

Hello lovelies! How is the week? We were able to give a friend a small birthday party after ballet class this week by baking a simple cake and I embroidered a bag tag for her. It feels great to be able to do something kind and unexpected for someone. I often think if what I…
