Look up!

It’s been a busy week, but I’ve loved it. One of those weeks that had a steady pace- not so busy that I felt overwhelmed, but just busy enough to keep me out of my head . Although, there was one day where I was literally bouncing and patting...

WFP: More meal planning in action!

It went pretty well this week. I didn’t entirely stick to the plan, but it felt much better to have ideas and recommit to this meal planning thing now that we’re a little more settled after baby. Plus, I love thinking about food… imagine that!
