Around Here

Around here we've been battling a cold.

Anna had it first and then passed it on to me (Chris and Simon seem to be fairly immune so far). It's one of those annoying colds with a stuffy nose, sore throat, and cough.

I worked through it during the second half of last week and then tried to keep it low key this past weekend as it got worse - lots of relaxing on the couch and lots of chicken noodle soup.

I hope to have another Q&A post up for you tomorrow.

PS | I have to tell you that I love that Anna will nap on the couch. I think it makes her feel like a "big girl." She's so cool.

    Around here we're battling the same cold! Don't we ever get a break from cold/flu season in OR? I think it's pretty cool Anna sleeps on the couch too!

    I think I'd like to nap on that couch just because it looks so fluffy and comfortable. Anna is a smart cookie.

    Hope you're both feeling better soon!

    Aw, so sweet - Anna asleep on the couch, not the colds - bleh. My baby still naps on couches, when she can - and she's 22! We returned home from a work trip to Astoria & she was home from UO this weekend - curled on our couch w/her baby blanket on top! Hope Anna still naps happily on your couch when she's a big girl too!! xoxo (p.s. get well soon!!)

    Hope you are all feeling better. I hate that there isn't a better term. Cold just doesn't describe how rotten it feels. In the middle of a longterm one that refuses to go away.

    Hope you were able to enjoy some of your weekend/Mothers Day!! I, too, have been struggling thru to get better since last Tuesday. It's hard to just take it easy when the weather outside finally breaks and you want to be outside getting the garden tidied up or try to tackle the mountain of stuff not done inside the house:) Try to get some rest and hope everyone feels better soon.

    I love it when they are in such a sound sleep that their pacifier is about to fall out. So sweet!

    Hope everyone feels better soon. I'm always amazed at how toddlers can just flop and sleep in any position.

    RE: the grab & go snack station that you "pinned".... we have a walk-in pantry yet still the small items (spices, small snack bags/boxes, etc.) seem to get "lost in the shuffle". I purchased clear boxes (the next size up from shoe box size) and have created a "snack" one for the kids to choose their daily school snack from. Obviously while at home I try to steer more toward raw fruits/veggies, but trail mix/raisins/fruit cups/crackers can be found in the pantry snack box. Although I'll admit that mine's not nearly as NEAT as the one pictured, it works well with less OCD.
