Fast start with 2 meetings, one going from 30 minutes to an hour.
Coffee with milk this morning. Time to down some water.
Lots of little tasks to get done. I’m hoping to get out for a quick 1 mile jog today, since the weather is decent.

I had no meetings on my calendar this morning and then proceeded to spend 2.5 hours on the phone.
I had coffee with vanilla caramel creamer.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for at least 1 job offer this week. Two would be better!

I've been waiting for the electrician all day. I thought they said between 9 & 12 but maybe I heard wrong. We had a lovely weekend- I had a neighborhood baby sprinkle Fri night and yesterday MH & I went out to brunch without the kids. We used a new sitter who lives down the street and my kids loved her so I am happy to have another sitter in the rotation.
I picked up a spin mop this morning (after months of it sitting in various carts on the internet) and mopped my hardwoods with that and powdered tide and man, what a game changer! They are so clean and smell so good. I've tried various other methods and products that all sucked, so I'm happy to have finally "figured it out". I drank some coffee too but was out of creamer so used good old-fashioned sugar and half&half.
And mopping is the highlight of my day so I'm not sure what that says about the current state of my life. Sun is out, forecast is looking great.

Took the girls to school, worked a bit, then ran to Costco.
I broke our vacuum a few weeks ago - pulled the hose too hard and it unraveled. So I duct taped it and it just wasn't holding up. Finally bought a new one at Costco earlier. Just vacuumed the first floor and OMG it go soooo much stuff. So satisfying. Now I will vacuum and re-vacuum the entire house to make sure I pick up everything I've apparently been missing for a few weeks.

I did not want to get out of bed this morning. Spent all day yesterday shopping for plants, planting our front beds, then grocery and dinner. And I am exhausted today. And it’s supposed to be rainy and cold all day. Ugh. 2 cups of coffee in my new (and free) white yeti which is sooooo cute. With Chobani oat creamer. About to go walk my 2.5 miles for lunch.

Coffee with butter pecan creamer and a homemade sausage and egg breakfast sandwich for me. I really need to get to the recycling center but it's snowing and I'm feeling extra tired and lazy. I did the sneak peek test for baby and just checked and it's already in Quebec, so I should know later this week if it's a boy or a girl!

I use powdered tide to mop too. 2 tsp. of detergent to 2 gallons of HOT water. For bathrooms I add a tsp of bleach to the water and tide mixture.

Whoa whoa whoa now wait a second milano. You MOPPED with POWDERED TIDE?! Tell me more…. And hot water, that's an important part of the equation 😆. I follow Go Clean Co on Instagram and they use powdered tide or blue dawn to clean basically everything! So I dissolved a tsp of tide in hot water and mopped with a damp (not wet) spin mop. So easy and so clean!

mc13 so satisfying to use a new vacuum! I’m traveling for work this week. Miss the kiddos but also excited to have adult time!

I'm currently at L's piano lesson. Today is N's birthday and we've had a good day. She helped me make her cake this morning, then I decorated it this afternoon and I'm really proud of it! My parents took the kids outside for a while this morning, then N opened her presents in the afternoon while Skyping her grandparents in France. My MIL sent a ton of gorgeous clothes. Now I just have to convince N to wear them lol.
MH should have dinner on the table when L and I get home. Then we'll have birthday cake and call it a day!

I'm sorry squeak, that sounds like a hard discussion you're going to have to have.

Me: who wants another piece of cake? N: me! Me: but you still have half of your piece left on your plate. N: I know, but if I finish it I won't be hungry enough for my next piece.
