Happy Friday!
I’ve been super lucky to have my sister off this week to give me a hand with Olivia…yet this still was a completely exhausting week! Not really sure how, but I think it’s from not having a break last weekend because we were away. Lots of driving + being away + not having any “me” time + teething baby = tired mama. This weekend I’ll catch up though!
Blogging has seriously fell to the waste side…but something’s gotta give. I’ve got a whole post dreamed up in my head about being a stay at home working mom…but I haven’t gotten the words out yet. Someday soon!
5 Random Thoughts
- I’ve been trying to lay off the dairy in an effort to get ride of my eczema. It’s been helping, but I really miss it. I’m off it kind of indefinitely but I will have some here and there. I want to go to an allergist to see if there is anything else I’m allergic to, but it’s not very high on my to-do list.
- I also need to reduce the amount of coffee I drink. I always drink half caf, but really it’s still too much. It’s my vice, for sure.
- I’ve been recording the Today Show so I can watch it (and fast forward) while I work out. It makes me really happy.
- This weekend I’m REALLY looking forward to running outside. I haven’t run outside since we went to South Carolina. It’s been way too long.
- Next week is our 5 year anniversary! Can’t even believe it. <3

Ohhh I look forward to hearing your thoughts on being a work at/stay at home mom! Also, teething is the pits. I just wish they could pop all those suckers through at once! Hang in there. Luckily Olivia is super cute to make up for the sleepless nights

resurfacing after parent visit—thank you for the LUUUUUUVE.
and for me the excema was all gluten–which you already dont do right?
I don’t not do gluten, but I eat it rarely. I mostly stick to rice and quinoa. It doesn’t bother me though and has no effect on the eczema…it’s all dairy for me. In the winter for some reason I can have more dairy and it doesn’t flare up like this.
What a beautiful post and so inspirational. Thank you for sharing this great article. Carol
