March:// Currently

Just some ramblings of what my March looks like so far....

Reading://  Well I have the book Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice on Love and Life from Dear Sugar by Cheryl Strayed.  I read her book "Wild" two summers ago and loved it.  This book was getting rave reviews by other bloggers, so I put it on wait list at the library.  I'm only a couple chapters in but I love it!

Playing:// Hide and Seek all the time in our house with Max...and recently with his Easter Eggs! 

Watching:// You guys, I was introduced to the show The Americans by my friend Lynn (hi Lynn!) - and I signed up for a free trial of Amazon Prime just to watch it. One episode in and I was totally hooked.  So good and so crazy. It's about a Russian couple living in America who are actually KGB agents in the 1980's.  Give it a try.  But, be prepared to use every once of your free time to watch it.

Trying://  To go to bed earlier...but it's so hard!! How am I supposed to watch all my TV? haha! 

Cooking:// I'm not doing a whole lot of cooking these days because Rob is!  We try to menu plan together but ultimately, Max just wants me to play with him when I get home and is unwilling to compromise on this - so Rob makes dinner!

Eating:// Egg salad, Fish Sticks, and Cheese pizza - it's Lent after all :) (no meat on Fridays)  But, also Rob and I are trying to have a salad night once a week so.... we are eating lots of leafy greens and veggies! 

Drinking://  Diet Coke and Coffee!

Calling:// It pretty much rotates between my mom, my sister, and Rob

  

Texting:// my friend Liz about her cookie recipe and how hard it is to take a toddler to church! 

Pinning:// always pinning "projects" that I would someday like to complete.  Also pinning birthday ideas for Max to a "secret" board.  And Easter ideas because I'm obsessed with holidays! 

Crafting:// do to-do lists count? how about roller bottles filled with essential oils?  

Loving://  the extra hour of sunshine thanks to Daylight Savings. 

Discovering:// that disciplining a toddler is no easy business. How do you make a child eat when they won't open their mouth?  Or sit in time out if you walk away?  Or sleep later than 5:15 in the morning?  These are the questions I ponder people. 

Hoping://  That warm weather is here to stay!  Bring on the flip flops!

Celebrating://  every little bite Max eats.  It seems like a battle sometimes to get him to eat (especially proteins).  He loves his snacks, but can one live on applesauce and fruit snacks?  

Considering:// an exercise plan in the evening now that it stays lighter for longer. 

Finishing:// Max's birthday party invitations!  Even though we are just doing a low key donut breakfast with family - of course I had to scour Etsy for the perfect invite :)

Starting:// to think about when I will get fitted for a bridesmaid dress for my friend Candice's wedding (which is in August in Oregon but I want to give myself plenty of time for alterations!)
