Hi!</div>

It's been a while. </div>

Actually, probably the longest break I've taken....ever! </div>

Life's been good over here. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our summer has been jam packed - honestly Tuesday-Sunday we basically have plans every single night, and our days have been filled too. I'm playing tennis four times a week, Leo's in swim lessons and camp, we have play group, a babysitter a few mornings a week, library dates, walks, pool visits, beach time, and anything else we can fit in between. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Crystal Lake sure does shine during the summer. </div>

June's weather was a little hit or miss - but we worked with it - and fit in so much fun.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fourth of July was literally maybe the best weekend ever. We were surrounded by family, friends, fun. The kids were SUCH troopers for our crazy, chaotic weekend - but they both loved every second. Leo's still asking for fireworks again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Image may contain: 4 people, including Tess Tyrrell Shields and Joel Shields, people smiling, people standing, child and outdoor" height="640" src="https://scontent-ort2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/66481031_10214923636861367_672581317229019136_n.jpg?_nc_cat=102&_nc_oc=AQmqXBWfe80UyZHeVLhhW4T8rRTS75Jsix5Pzt4Lo_YgKApvJ2hnwRkmQWJfui1LmH48kqxy4-IMmxWSSiArXSzX&_nc_ht=scontent-ort2-1.xx&oh=0d06617e1834954d419872e83e03b681&oe=5DB87F16" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And....as it always does....probably with all of the hype of the Nsale and the school supply list that has already been sent out, I'm starting to feel a little bit, tiny bit, kind of excited for the fall and the upcoming routine that it has. But, I also haven't forgotten how long this winter was for us, and how much time we were inside - so I'm not rushing it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did, however, buy 1 thing from the Nsale. A pair of short Hunter boots. I thought about them all last winter, so hopefully I'll get some wear out if it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I pulled the trigger on an Apple Watch on Prime Day too. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Image result for apple watch 42 mm" height="640" src="https://rukminim1.flixcart.com/image/704/704/jgpfs7k0/smartwatch/z/z/r/mr2y2hn-a-apple-original-imaf4w2zjggfqrg5.jpeg?q=70" width="358" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Other than that, the random stuff, will probably have to wait for another post. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Likely in 6 weeks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really just wanted to pop in. I'm still here, maybe you are too - and if you are - hope this finds you well. </div>

<b>Feeding: </b>You're a pretty good eater. You love to snack - you like your own snack cup, separate from Leo, which is pretty funny....but you also love throwing and dumping your snacks whenever you get a chance - which also drives me a bit nuts! </div>

<b>Leo: </b>Probably the biggest joy of my life is watching you two together. I love the knowing looks you give each other, how you both amp each other up for fun - and for trouble. I love that you bang on his door, try to keep up with him, and play with his toys. I love that you try to impress him - it's all such a joy. </div>

Every year around my birthday, I like to share a few things with the few people that might still be checking in here. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know that this spot has started to collect quite a bit of dust - and I'm sorry about that. I always have great intentions of signing on, writing a post, and for whatever reason, I either come up blank or fall asleep ;) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But, I'm here now, at the cutest littlest wine bar <i>ever </i>(Aroma in downtown Crystal Lake), I have one hour with a babysitter at home, and I'm about to get a refill of Rose - SO.....let's do this. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img draggable="false" height="640" src="https://uniim1.shutterfly.com/ng/services/mediarender/THISLIFE/006090564711/media/44466690576/medium/1551827927/enhance" width="480" /> </div>
<br />
1 - My favorite line has been - I'm a horrible "stay at home mom" because I hate to stay home. We stay <i>very </i>busy throughout the day, and ideally I try to only be home for nap time to be honest.<br />
<br />
2 - In order to make that work, I try to keep a tight schedule of home-ish chores so that I can stay on top of things, and keep us busy. I have a laundry schedule I stick too....<br />
<br />
3 - Which means I do 1 load of laundry every day<br />
<br />
4 - I also try and cook dinner most nights of the week, and the key to my success on that one is having everything prepped at nap time. That way, when 5:30pm rolls around, I just bake/fry/etc.<br />
<br />
5 - The other reason I'm really successful at that? My husband is incredibly helpful and supportive. He cleans up the kitchen every night, lines up the coffee machine, loads the dishwasher, UNLOADS the dishwasher, gets laundry started in the morning, ........and about 50 other things he manages on a daily basis along with providing for our family. He operates on very little sleep, has a discipline like no one I've ever met, and also doesn't really know how to relax and/or sit down.<br />
<br />
6 - I'm obsessed with my kids. I think they're truly the most beautiful, smartest, funniest, and loveliest little things to be around. They both - OF COURSE - have their moments - but for the most part, I spent the day in awe of how we created these two little doll babies.<br />
<br />
7 - On that nice note, I really do feel like I'm living the life that I always dreamed off.<br />
<br />
8 - I have been SO against red wine lately. Unless it's a really nice bottle, I really haven't had much of a desire to drink it. I've been having a lot of beer, rose, and vodka.<br />
<br />
9 - Speaking of nice red wine - pretty much the only time I'll drink red wine is Sunday's at my parents. We spend every Sunday at their house for dinner. It's such a special tradition and treat. They cook for us, we hang out, spend most of the afternoon and then enjoy and early dinner together.<br />
<br />
10 - I really wish you could be listening to these idiots sitting next to me. I'm not even going to get into detail but I pretty much want to puke in my mouth they're so lame. This is random, I know, but trust me.<br />
<br />
11 - I get energy from being around other people. I am VERY much an extrovert, VERY social, and would rather be around people than be alone.<br />
<br />
12 - I take half a unisom every night in order to even try and sleep through the night, and even with that, it's a crap-shoot. Since it works 80% of the time, my doctor thinks I should stay on this path since it's very mild and there is a lot of room to play if it gets worse. <br />
<br />
13 - My favorite day of the week is the day that we have our babysitter come to our house to help me from 3:15-6:15pm. It almost blows my mind that those 3 hours are sometimes what gets me through the entire week - but to just have 3 selfish hours where I can go sit at a wine bar, or go to trader joe's alone, or organize the kids closets or <i>whatever. </i><br />
<br />
14 - We moved from Los Angeles two years ago, after spending five years there. We knew that the Chicago suburbs would always be home.<br />
<i> </i><br />
15 - I miss parts of living in Los Angeles, but I really couldn't imagine living there right now. The lifestyle here is much more aligned to the life I want, but I'm so glad Joel and I lived such a chunk of our twenties there.<br />
<br />
16 - I know a lot of people move West for the weather - but I truly missed seasons. I've discovered now, I missed summer, fall, and winter - but I actually friggen HATE Spring. It's cruel here in Chicago. It's cold, gray, flirts with you, and then leaves you again.<br />
<br />
17 - My newest favorite instagram account - and least favorite because she is making me go broke - instagram is @things.i.bought.and.liked.<br />
<br />
18 - I bought these really cool silk, top-knot-ish-y headbands she reccomended - incredibly random - but I wore it today and no joke, got like 10 random compliments on it. Along with socks, cleaning supplies, underwear, wine.......she's amazing.<br />
<br />
19 - I mentioned above that I haven't been having a ton of motivation to blog, and with that, I haven't had a ton of motivation to read blogs. Have you felt the same? I have a few of my favorite girls that I check in with, but for the most part, they just don't fulfill me like the used to.<br />
<br />
20 - I do really love to Liz Adams at @HelloAdamsFamily - but more than her blog - I follow her for her instastories which I think has stolen much of Bloggers mojo<br />
<br />
21 - I'm so excited for this summer. We decided to join our local country club and I think it's going to change the entire feeling of our summer. Their pool doesn't open until 12, so I think we will end up visiting the pool after naps until before dinner....which literally THRILLS me! Plus, I'm going to try and play tennis there in the morning, and hope to play tennis and pickle ball with Joel on the weekends.<br />
<br />
22 - I'm also hoping to have Leo do a camp on Fridays in the summer from 9-3.<br />
<br />
23 - The only problem - he has to be potty trained and he isn't.<br />
<br />
24 - One of my worst parenting experiences - thus far - has been our first attempt at potty training. I was a <i>horrible </i>mom in regards to the process, I put WAY too much pressure on Leo and on the situation, him and I both cried for two weeks straight, and then eventually I threw in the towel.<br />
<br />
25 - But, it's time to do it again. Leo will be 4 in the fall, and I hope that this time around, we can both come at it from a much more gentle and calm place, and we're just going to take it one day at a time and hope that it sticks. Because we were both so burned from the first process, I'm not following any perfect book/schedule/routine but more so going to try and follow Leo's lead.<br />
<br />
26 - We are REALLY hoping to travel with Leo and Drew next year to Europe. The best trip Joel and I ever took was to France a few years ago, and we dreamed of taking our little babes with us. I think they'll both be a very fun ages to do it, so we're really going to try. We'd like to do two weeks in Italy and France but for now, it's truly just a dream.<br />
<br />
27 - I have to leave this wine shop in 15 minutes, so the next few points are going to have to be quick<br />
<br />
28 - My favorite dessert is key lime pie<br />
<br />
29 - I hate getting my hair and nails done. Truly, I find them as chores that I dread. <br />
<br />
30 - My favorite food is pizza.....I think.<br />
<br />
31 - I am SO beyond thankful. For my health, for my families health, for my life, for my friends, for my house, and for my life. And thank you for checking in here.

With my birthday coming up - this Monday!!! - I thought I'd put together a list of the things I'd be most happy to see for birthday presents.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
cough, cough, Joel. ;) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
::: <b>Amazon Speaker :::</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><img _ngcontent-ysp-c31="" alt="Amazon Echo 2-Way Smart Speaker (2nd Generation) - Wireless - Charcoal Fabric" aria-hidden="true" class="image ng-star-inserted" itemprop="image" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/proxy/AVvXsEj4_Cqf_0U9uDxG9t9Dp1HpqDlKV0kH6b4hzKO3TmOTcr124xuAPX7_A7NAeXfHvo4KdAgJHeGxd_1V1ah6Qw1mbZLQbBK6HrNxiO0lvJDHjtaeXChPn3MZNlrCPnhNv8AaGi4mvJTOaoutahSGBby_2zMOSPwZGX73Zd1-M8F0GTDcXcGQ6DnIY06u7vChWdF3HZIB2CKbu3hfzs_Kza48e2n2rf2HsSnIEffVDhC_V2MhgQ=s500-e365-rw-pd-pc0x00ffffff" style="filter: none;" /> </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I honestly have no idea which is the best one to get, but I want a speaker in my kitchen that can get decently loud, doesn't need to be touched - can just turn on with my voice - and doesn't take over my phone the way my Jawbone speaker does. Anyone have any good recommendations? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b> </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>::: Lilly Pulitizer pullover ::: </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><img alt="UPF 50+ Skipper Popover, Crew Blue Tint Kaleidoscope Coral, large" class="primary-image" itemprop="image" src="https://scene7.lillypulitzer.com/is/image/sugartown/000733_crewbluetintkaleidoscopecoral-sf?$sfPDP1x$" /> </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am pretty much in athlesiure pull overs of some kind 6 days a week, and with the summer coming up, I'd like to add another popover to my closet. I love the bright colors and decently light weight material. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b> </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>::: Apple Watch :::</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b> </b><img alt="Image result for apple watch" class="irc_mi" data-iml="1556565801836" height="353" src="https://store.storeimages.cdn-apple.com/4982/as-images.apple.com/is/image/AppleInc/aos/published/images/4/4/44/alu/44-alu-gold-sport-pink-nc-s4-grid?wid=540&hei=550&fmt=jpeg&qlt=80&op_usm=0.5,0.5&.v=1538158177211" style="margin-top: 0px;" width="347" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think I want an apple watch. A few of my friends have them and really like them, and I think it would be handy to be able to be reached and not have to have my phone on me at all times. Especailly at the gym, I feel like I need to take my phone into classes in case the preschool were to call me, but with the iwatch, I wouldn't need to as much. I'm not sure it's totally worth it - and I'll be fine to live without one - but I think it would be a fun gift. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>::: cast iron skillet :::</b></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I need a cast iron skillet! Kind of a random thing, but my kitchen could use one, and I'd like to start finding some new recipes to use in one. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b> </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>::: Gold birkenstocks :::</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wear my silver thong like birks <i>all </i>the time, and I recently got lilac pool birkenstocks that I love - but I think these would be a nice neutral summer sandal that could actually hold up at parks and on light walks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b> </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>plus - I love massages, mani pedis, wine, essential oils, some new makeup, gosh - I won't really say no to any presents to be honest ;) </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

::: How these months keep just flying by, I seriously don't even know. I feel like I just flipped my calendar to read April, and now, it's gone. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Overall - we had a great April. Chicago gave us two legit snow storms and more days in the 70's than normal, so it's been a little all over the place, but we've tried to keep busy and make the best of it. </div>

::: One of the best things the Easter bunny brought us is this driveway gate. We love it. Our driveway has a slight slope, so it stops balls and cozy coupes from rolling straight into the street, and it gives the kids a nice visual of where to stop - plus, no one pulls in while we're out playing. Tons of people have pulled over to ask where we got it - and the answer is obvious....<i>amazon. </i></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
::: Speaking of Easter - we had the best day. The weather was PERFECT - almost eighty degrees, and it just felt like the ideal Easter ever. We started the day with opening Easter baskets and heading t church, before we spent the rest of the day drinking champagne and hanging at my parents with tons of family and friends. </div>

<i>::: </i>The day before Easter, Joel ran in an ultra-marathon. He had been training and feeling great - but during his warm uprun for the race, he stepped funny and hurt his knee. He was able to run the marathon of the race, but stopped after that. We were still <i>seriously </i>impressed and glad that he didn't push past phyiscal pain for the mental aspect of "finishing". Still a winner in our book! </div>

::: Spring in Chicago is so funky. We've seen great weather and some really shitty weather. Yesterday, the kids and I were having our lunch outside, had been to two parks, and I got sunburn - and today, it's snowing and I'm sitting at a wine bar with a sweater and boots on. </div>

::: Life's been great from all accounts. I'm finding less and less motivation to log on to this blog though. I feel like I don't have much to say or share that I'm not already sharing on Instagram. I feel the blog slowly slipping away, and that makes me pretty sad. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
::: We had the stomach flu hit our house last week and it was literal hell. We had been at a party and literally like contagion - SO many people got knocked down after 36 hours of being there - it was insane. It was the sickest Leo has ever been - and I just literally kept catching his puke in my hands. It wasn't fun but I was SO grateful that it was relatively quick moving and that everyone is back to normal. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
::: I've been hitting is SO hard at the gym lately. My girlfriends and I are on a text chain and since the gym has become such a social spot (and a day care option) I feel like I've been at the gym 5 days a week for the last 6-8 weeks. I can feel some of the strength that I've been working on, but not really seeing it - so I'm hoping that shift happens a little sooner than later here ;) </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
::: I finally made dinner with the Trader Joe's cauliflower gnocchi - and holy cow it was so good. What a solid dupe! I will say - it's a little tricky to work with - but overall, especially considering what a light dinner option it is - we loved it. I used Liz Adams recipe from her "Cooking with Liz" instalive she does - and I can't wait to make it again. (she doesn't have the recipe on her blog, that I can find! Check her instastories!) </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
::: I think I've shared a bit that we are fixing up our basement a bit. Drywall finished this week, and next week the ceiling is getting spray painted black! I can't wait to see the space totally transform. When the ceiling is done, we are going to paint the drywall (revere peweter), do a deep clean, and rearrange bit here and there. I'm hoping to add a ping pong table down there, and eventually a TV, and try to make it as "industrial cool" as I can. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
::: That's it for now. I'm sitting at the cutest little coffee and wine bar that just opened in our hood, but the internet is painfully slow and I have about 15 other things I've got to knock out before I let the babysitter go home! Ha! </div>

My book club last week had a really cool opportunity to facetime with the author, Steve Pemberton, of A Chance in this World. The book is incredible .... I actually listened to it on Audible which I loved because it's Steve who is reading it. The book is incredibly inspiring, motivating, and heart wrenching. </div>

<b> Crying: </b>You are our happy little thing - but you will cry if you want something and you aren't getting it. Yesterday, you started crying in front of Leo because he was having a snack and you weren't, and I sat back laughing, because he would give you a pretzel, and then you would be happy, and two minutes later, come back to him, start crying, and then he would eventually give in and give you a pretzel. </div>

We had kind of shitty week last week.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On Monday, I woke up, and instantly knew that I was barely going to be able to make it from my bed to the sink to brush my teeth. I felt like total shit. I begged Joel to stay home that morning, just to give me a few hours to see if I could power through it after dayquil and some extra sleep, but at 10am, I was still feeling like crud, so he took the whole day off to tend to the kids.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank God.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tuesday morning, Joel woke up feeling like total shit. I wasn't out of the woods, by any means, but I at least felt like I could rally to be with the kids. Joel stayed home from work, stayed in bed most of the day, and I did my best to keep the babes happy until our babysitter showed up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Joel and I both felt better on Wednesday, and then on Thursday, after parent teacher conferences, decided to go out for a date. It was lovely - at one of our all time favorite spots....but something I ate bothered me, and at 3am I woke up and was violently ill. Not fun - but thankfully, after I got it out of my system, I was ok.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Friday, all was seemingly normal, and we went to my parents for happy hour/dinner. When we got over there, Leo started chattering - looked really white - and then over an hour just totally nose dived. I took him home before dinner - stuck him in bed with gatorade and a movie - checked his temp (103.9), and basically decided that this week was just shit. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thankfully, Saturday morning, he had slept through the night, woke up with a much lower fever and actually felt great, and we were able to salvage most of the weekend. I went to the gym Saturday morning, hit up the grocery store, and then went to my moms house for happy hour with my sister.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That night, my girlfriend Jenna and her husband Zach came to spend the night with us. We made tacos and once the kids were in bed played darts for hours. </div>

We had such a blast and basically fell into bed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sunday morning - Jenna and I snuck away for a dance class at my gym - my MOST favorite class of the entire week - and then came home to hang for a cup of coffee before they headed out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Joel and I did a few things around the house....we hung oars in Leo's room, and brought a new couch base down to the basement. I had stopped at a garage sale at a local preschool on Saturday and had bought that red bookshelf for FIVE dollars along with a puzzle organizer for THREE dollars, and literally felt like I had won the lottery. </div>

(<i>*pretty cool note about these oar's: my mom found that at an antique shop in Lake Geneva, Wi. and we used them at my wedding and my baby shower for Leo. Now they hang in my 3year old son's room.....insane). </i> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
We spent the rest of the day with my sisters, we walked, had drinks, talked, and just hung out before we ordered pizza and they went back on their way.</div>

The flights were on time and decently smooth, the car picked us up at the airport with two car seats installed (this gave me anxiety for whatever reason), our condo was perfect (had pack and plays and high chairs), we brought the right stuff, was able to grocery shop and create our own mini home, the kids transitioned perfectly, acted perfectly, stayed perfectly healthy, and we had SO much flipping fun.</div>

<b>Health: </b>Our health for most of the month was perfect, thank God! We all are working through a cold right now - the first one that really knocked me down, too, which isn't fun - but we're getting through. I was keeping my fingers crossed that we all stayed healthy while on vacation, and since we did, I'm okay to rally through this cold at the comfort of our house.<br />

We are renting the condo next to my parents in Punta Mita, and bringing the kids, and we are so excited for our first tropical vacation as a family four.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="to the beach" class="hCL kVc L4E MIw" src="https://i.pinimg.com/564x/52/e5/d5/52e5d56c385d7441fc6824c659046db8.jpg?b=t" /> </div>
<br />
:: We're carrying on - but sort of cheating. My parents are flying on the same flight with us, and checking a bag, so we are including two puddle jumpers in their suitcase. Since my parents were done in Mexico a few weeks ago, they also stocked up on diapers and wipes for us.<br />
<br />
::: Otherwise, everything else (monitors, snacks, 2 sound machines, loveies, outfits, toys, etc.) is coming with us. We have 3 seats, 4 people, 3 carry-on suitcases, 1 purse, 1 backpack, 1 LLBean tote bag, 1 ergo baby carrier, and 1 double stroller. Hot Damn!<br />
<br />
::: We are parking at the airport here in Chicago, and being picked up in a car that will have two car seats to take us to the condo.<br />
<br />
::: My purse looks like <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078XD4V9T/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1">this </a>for the flight. I purchased this purse organizer from Amazon, at the recommendation of Alex and I have been LOVING it. It keeps my bag so much better organized - I can't believe I've been living without it for so long.<br />
<br />

<br />
::: In my purse, I have some snacks handy, some diapers and changing pad, my headphones, my ipad, my kindle, the kids passports, my wallet, everyone's sunglasses, some CBD oil, tic tacs, and my medicine kit for the kids.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
::: In the LLBean tote, we have....everything else. Toys, kids lovies, games, so many snacks, bottles for Drew, hand wipes, a blanket, Leo's kindle fire and head phones.....probably a few more things that I'm already forgetting.<br />
<br />
<img draggable="false" height="640" src="https://uniim1.shutterfly.com/ng/services/mediarender/THISLIFE/006090564711/media/44440967661/medium/1550009509/enhance" width="640" /> <br />
<br />
For snacks, we have pouches, gold fish, raisins, animal crackers, and fruit snacks.<br />
<br />

<br />
It's hard to know what toys to bring, but for Drew, I brought a few light up/table toys. I borrowed a few from friends so that they're new for Drew, I brought a few mini books, a few trucks and match box cars, a few things for Drew to chew on, and a few sea creatures for Leo to play pretend with.<br />
<br />

<br />
I bought most of these art supplies at target, but did pick up <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075C661CM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02__o00_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1">this </a>water pen thingy on Amazon. We haven't used it yet, but hopefully it's a hit. <br />

::: As far as other things that I am bringing on our trip - I'm going to try out <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007JCK5GG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1">this </a>little floatie for Drew. It's handy because it deflates, and I think it will be nice for her to have on when we are at the little splash pool. I'm also bringing a life vest for her, and a puddle jumper for Leo. I bought this on Amazon but haven't used it, so I'm happy to report back if you are curious.<br />

::: The kids were pretty easy to pack for - Keens for shoes for both of them for the most part, one nice pair of shoes for dinner, and then easy and light clothes, lots of hats, swim suits, and they're pretty much set.<br />

I really enjoyed the easy breezyness of it. If you're looking for a beach read, give it a go. I'm taking Girl Wash Your Face down to Mexico, and want to bring one more with me since I haven't heard great things about the book. Let me know if you have a recent beach read I should grab!<br />

<b>Watching: </b>The Bachelor has really made my Monday nights much more fun. A bunch of my girlfriends have been trying to get together to watch most Mondays. We bring wine, wear sweats, and just watch the craziness together.<br />

I had a "personal" day a few weeks ago - I went shopping by myself, got a massage, and then went to the movies alone (it was seriously my #bestdayever) and I went and saw Second Act. It might be out of the theaters now, but it's a really cute movie if you need one to rent. Not winning any Oscars, but a brainless chick flick.<br />
<br />

<b>Listening: </b>I mentioned on my "Day in the Life" post that I started listening to "It Sounded like a Good Idea at the Time" podcast. It's darling and I really like the two women who record it - they're very relatable and cute.<br />

<br />
It's not a good podcast, so I'm going to be straight, but I had to downloand "Weekly Dose of B.S." which is Brandi and Stephanie from the RHODallas. It's not going to last long.<br />
<br />

I really, really liked #momtruths. Have I shared that podcast already? Its Cat and Nat, and they talk about their journey to being self made millionaires.<br />

Otherwise, if we're hanging around the house or driving in the car, we have been listening to the Steve Tyrrell pandora station which makes me feel like I'm in a Nancy Meyers movie.<br />

I watched Cooking with Liz (Hello Adams Family) live instagram last night, (I think they're adorable), and they made a caprese spaghetti squash dish, and when we get back from Mexico, I'm sticking that on the menu stat! <br />
<br />
<b>Doing: </b>I've been doing a ton of working out. I've been at the gym almost 5 times a week since the new year. I can totally feel myself getting stronger, even though the scale is still in the same place as it was when I started. I will say too, I tried on a few pairs of jeans last week and my normal jean size was starting to feel a little bit loose, so that's gotta be a good sign.<br />
<br />
I love our gym. A lot of my girlfriends go to the same one, they have classes in the morning while Leo is at school, and both of my kids having been doing great at the KidZone - so it's like two birds with one stone. And honestly, I was sort of joking that being back at the gym has been saving us a ton of money, because last year when my membership was on hold, I would find myself at Tj.Maxx or Target WAY more often! <br />
<br />

<br />
We are also putting up drywall in our basement. We're not investing tons of money down there, but just trying to do a few things to clean it up and make it more enjoyable to spend more time down there. I think the drywall will make a really big difference, and we also have a few painters coming this week to give us quotes to spray paint the ceiling and poles black.<br />

For whatever reason, I've been able to catch some of the cutest sleep stalking pictures of all time of the little ones. I just die! The only time Drew sucks her thumb is when she sleeps and I think it's the cutest thing I've ever seen.<br />

<br />
<b>7:40am - </b>I take the bus in the morning to get to work. My ride is normally 25-30 minutes. I either listen music (top 100 hits normally) or read the Game of Thrones book. <br />

<div style="text-align: left;">

<br />
<b>8:00pm: </b>They have a specialty drink called squirtski that I love. It's vodka, Squirt, bitters, and ginger beer (I think). It's really good if you get a chance to visit. <br />
<br />

<br />
We ordered a few things to eat and share - crab cakes, tomato soup with a grilled cheese, and a side of their brussel sprouts - so good. <br />
<br />

<br />
And we had to top it off with dessert. Ice cream and warm cookie.<br />
<br />
<b>9:20pm: </b>We walked back home, I'm rewatching Game of Thrones (I'm obsessed) and fell asleep around 10:30 before doing it all again the next day!<br />

I can't believe my last <a href="http://teatimetess.blogspot.com/2017/06/day-in-life-as-sahm-with-20mth-old.html">update </a>was a year and a half ago! Dang, how fast time flies! To catch anyone new up to speed - I'm a stay at home mom of two - Leo is 3 and Drew is 1. Leo goes to school MWF for a few hours in the morning, and we try to keep a busy schedule. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had the a few people suggest that my two younger sisters (Hannah (28) and Nellie (25)), capture the same day just to see how different they are - so that's what we all did. Last Wednesday, January 23rd. I'll do my best to get their days up here this week too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As I mentioned yesterday, this was the day that we lost Joel's cousin.Joel and called me that morning to tell me the news - and while the pictures don't show our true heartbreak, you can rest assured that it was there. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So - without further adieu - here's a random day in my life. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
---</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>6:30am - </b>Joel wakes up super early and normally wakes me when he is getting into the shower. This morning it was right about 6:30am - which is pretty perfect for me </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="640" src="https://uniim1.shutterfly.com/ng/services/mediarender/THISLIFE/006090564711/media/44418944520/medium/1548714938/enhance" width="360" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
a lot of my friends have asked how I listen to so many podcasts, and that's honestly because I have them playing all the time - from the second I get up normally. It helps wake me up as I make the bed and get dressed, and today I listened to these cute girls on "It Sounded Like a Good Idea". </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="640" src="https://uniim1.shutterfly.com/ng/services/mediarender/THISLIFE/006090564711/media/44418944533/medium/1548714939/enhance" width="360" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>6:50am - </b>Joel and I have a pretty balanced morning routine for getting everyone up and at them. When I wake up, he normally makes breakfast for himself and Leo which is a huge help. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="640" src="https://uniim1.shutterfly.com/ng/services/mediarender/THISLIFE/006090564711/media/44418945110/medium/1548714969/enhance" width="480" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I sit down to have a cup of coffee and check in a few blogs while Joel gets Leo dressed and ready to roll. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>7:00am - </b>They have their oatmeal, and at 7am - I go up and get Drew changed and dressed and then come down and give her a bottle as Joel kisses us goodbye and heads out the door. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
It's super snowy today - like - they probably should've called school off, but thankfully they didn't! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>7:15am - </b>I let Leo watch a show in the "choo choo room" with a snack (even though he ate breakfast 12 seconds ago). </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>7:43am - </b>We load up everyone in the car and head to Leo's school. Drop off is at 7:50 and we live about 4 minutes away. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>7:49am - </b>Every morning when I unclip Leo's carseat, he always asks me for some lipstick before school - and today he wanted to take a picture "looking at him" - which, teachable moment - he learned is a selfie. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>8:02am - </b>Because it was super snowy, my girlfriend and her son came over to my house for a cup of coffee. She lives further from the school, and used my house as a little crash pad before running errands and then picking up her daughter. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>8:15am - </b>We stayed in the kitchen for a half hour, chatted over a cup of coffee, and Drew and I ate our breakfast. We both had a piece of toast with peanut butter and a banana. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>8:45am - </b>Drew and I left our friends at our house and drove over to the gym. They have a great Kidszone so I dropped Drew in there and then went to go set up for Strong - the class I took with a few other girlfriends. </div>

<b>11:00am - </b>Pretty much on all school and gym days, we get home and we get right into the bath. It's a nice way to get out of their germy clothes, and if we aren't leaving the house again, we normally go straight into jammies. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>11:25am - </b>Strangely enough, Drew doesn't love the bath. Leo could hang out for an hour in there, but she is done after about ten minutes, so I get them both dressed in their pajamas and we head downstairs for lunch. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

I have been making a big batch of chicken salad on Monday's so I'm having that over arugula with a few wheat thins. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Drew is having some fruit, some Bomba's from Trader Joe's and leftover meatballs, and Leo is subbing in a bagel for meatballs because he's a full blown vegetarian currently.</div>

<b>11:40am - </b>This next hour of my day is a little stressful - I try to get a lot done so that I have some free time when the kids are napping, so we sort of work like wildfire and seriously try to cram quite a bit in....</div>

<b>11:50am - </b>After I shovel in my salad for lunch, the kids are still eating and I throw together dinner. We are doing CrockPot Cashew Chicken which is served over brown rice. It's a 5 minute prep which is amazing, and I end up precooking the brown rice too so that everything is really easy when dinner time hits. </div>

<b>12:25pm: </b>I drag everyone upstairs so that I can get a load of laundry folded. I keep a weekly laundry schedule - and Wednesday's happen to be Joel's laundry day, which is my easiest day of the week because I don't put his clothes away, so after 10 minutes of folding, we're done. </div>

<b>12:35pm - </b>We go back downstairs to play in the playroom for twenty more minutes before Drew's nap. Drew is 50/50 with taking two naps a day, sometimes she'll do 1, sometimes 2, it truly just depends on the day. She does better with two naps, but it just didn't work out that way today. </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Joel had shoveled in the morning, so I only have an inch or two of work to do which wasn't horrible - but I was already sore after my workout this morning so it was kind of tough. Leo basically just played in the snow but it was good for him to get a little fresh air. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>1:35pm - </b>Leo and I got dried and went upstairs for his nap. We read one book, went through his bed time routine, and he fell asleep within 10 minutes which was a huge win.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>1:45pm - </b>I took advantage of my hour and took a really hot epsom salt bath, dried my hair, and got into another workout outfit because I have a Beer and Yoga class tonight with my girlfriends. And if you're counting - that makes my third workout for the day! That never happens! </div>

<b>2:15pm: </b>Both of the kids are still out, so I made a cup of tea, stole some of Leo's teddy grams, and cracked open Drew's baby book that arrived in the mail today. I used Shutterfly to make it and was really, really happy with the way it turned out - and really happy to cross that off my list too. </div>

<b>6:00pm - </b>Overall, Leo is an ok eater, but he doesn't typically eat what we eat for dinner which I find to be annoying. He also doesn't eat ANY meat - but does get plenty of protein - so for dinner tonight he is having avocado toast, a hard boiled egg with Everything seasoning from TJ's, cheese and 2 bites worth of brown rice. Drewbie will eat what we eat which is cashew chicken and brown rice along with some of Leo's avocado. </div>

::: This weekend was unfortunately a very sad one for our family. Joel's cousin was tragically killed in a snowmobile accident at the young age of 32. We got the call on Wednesday morning and instantly the week changed. It rocked Joel's entire family, and while we came together and celebrated his well lived and loved life - it was difficult. The service on Sunday was nothing short of beautiful and gut wrenching, and to be honest, we are still digesting the new reality. </div>

::: Over the weekend - right before most of Joel's family arrived - we had tickets to see Disney on Ice. We weren't sure how Drew would do for the entire show, but honestly, she did fantastic. The first half of the show kept her entire attention - and Leo was truly in awe the entire time. We packed plenty of goldfish for the second half and left right after the Frozen performance, and had such a fun, special morning. </div>

::: So last week - thanks to a few readers suggestions! - I convinced my sisters to do a "Day in the Life". All three of us did actually - all of us, sadly, on Wednesday, but we have all of the pictures and now I just need to organize them into posts and have my sisters caption them. They both had a lot of fun with it - and they thought that next time we should do it on a weekend day to see how truly different our days are ;) </div>

When we moved to LA, this target rug was all of the rage. It's still at target here actually - and I still really like it - but for us, it had lived a long life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It worked really well in LA, and then we brought it to Chicago, and it worked really well here too. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I liked that it hid a lot of the kids junk, but lately it was getting just dirtier and dirtier.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I kept joking that I got shamed by our local carpet cleaners, because when I asked for a quote to get it professionally cleaned, he told me it would probably be cheaper to just buy a new one. Ha!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, finally I did, and since Target had served us so well the first time, I decided to go back for more. If you haven't been on Target shopping for rugs lately - they have this really cool feature that you can preview the rug in your room....I loved it. I will say, in real life, the rug is much lighter, but I still really love it. The rug I bought is the Ava rug by Threshold, and I can't seem to find it online currently...</div>

This rug looks and feels much richer than our older one, and is soft enough on our wood floor to not need a rug mat - which the other one needed.</div>

<b>Sleep:</b> We dropped your morning nap this month. You honestly didn't seem to mind at all, but I thought that I would be guarnteeing a really great afternoon nap, and that just hasn't been the case. It's a little all over the place, but on average you've only been sleeping in the afternoon for like 90 minutes. I'm hoping that it's just the transition and that you will soon learn to rest your busy body for at least two hours! </div>

<b>Places You’ve Gone:</b> We were home for the holidays, and celebrated a perfect Christmas and New Year with you. This month, I also started dropping you off at the KidZone at my health club. You don't love it - you hate when I leave - but you're doing better (And way better than Leo did). They often push you in the stroller with "special owl", feed you a little bottle, and then feel comfortable to go play. I also feel so much more comfortable with the space since I know the ladies that work there now, and have a lot of friends kids who take special care of Drewbie when she is in there too. </div>

Ok - this is big. It's Sunday night, I'm level 11 tired, (it is only 7:30pm, but I'm weak), I'm already in bed, and I just had Joel bring up my computer so that I could actually get a weekend recap post up before 8am tomorrow morning! Making progress over here!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had a fantastic weekend - and I hope you did too. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Friday night, we had book club at my neighbors house. Luckily, I was able to walk, because that night we got like 7 inches of snow. It was the perfect night to sit inside with a bunch of girlfriends, snacks, and red wine. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I totally goofed up on taking any pictures of our night - I was too busy chatting and bringing my wine glass to my lips - but it was a really fun time. We had read When Life Gives You Lululemons which was a fun book to discuss with a bunch of suburban moms. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Saturday morning, my mom and I took the train into the city to meet my sisters for a belated birthday celebration for my mom. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We started the day off at Nordstrom, and shockingly, I found an amazing bathing suit, and we couldn't help but splurge on suits for the kids too for our upcoming trip.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After a little shopping, we headed to the Peninsula for High Tea. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="640" src="https://uniim1.shutterfly.com/ng/services/mediarender/THISLIFE/006090564711/media/44403871007/medium/1548034737/enhance" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Peninsula hotel in Chicago is one of my all time favorites - and their high tea is truly delightful.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We enjoyed our tea, snacks, champagne, talked, watched the snow fall....It was lovely.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We took our buzz over to Zara for a little more shopping and then found ourselves at Mastro's for a martini in their bar (which I love). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="640" src="https://uniim1.shutterfly.com/ng/services/mediarender/THISLIFE/006090564711/media/44403833235/medium/1548033987/enhance" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After a drink, we went back to my sisters for a few minutes and then headed to Coast Sushi in Bucktown for dinner. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="640" src="https://uniim1.shutterfly.com/ng/services/mediarender/THISLIFE/006090564711/media/44403891451/medium/1548035212/enhance" width="480" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had a perfect light dinner, and my mom and I headed to my cousins house before we crawled into bed at 10! It was perfect! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sunday morning, my sister Hannah, cousin Amanda, and my girlfriend Mary (Hiiiiii!!!), met up for a sculpt class at CorePower. We got our butts handed to us, but it's one of my all time favorite workouts and I always try to fit it in when I'm in the city.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After quick showers, we prepped for brunch at Amanda's. Joel and the kids drove into the city and my girlfriend Sara and her fam came over too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="640" src="https://uniim1.shutterfly.com/ng/services/mediarender/THISLIFE/006090564711/media/44403831004/medium/1548033932/enhance" width="480" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was perfect. The kids played, ate, hung out, and then we loaded up the car by 1:30 and were home by 2:30.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My parents took Leo to their house for a few hours so that we could get our fussy little Drew home for a nap - and then we met over there for Sunday night dinner. We had a great, healthy dinner and got everyone home, cozy in bed, early - just the way I like it! </div>

I'm trying to keep Leo as busy as possible this winter with some energy expelling activities - so we are doing swimming and gymnastics. He's really enjoying both actually, even though he gets a little anxious before we get there, and it is SO weird, because this is the first round of activities that he does without me. I love watching him in the group setting, listening to the coach, trying new things, and working with other kids totally without me. It makes me so proud and heartbroken all at the same time! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Along with classes, we're trying to get to storytime at the library, school - and then, I have been taking both kids to the gym's daycare. I'm finding that keeping busy is really the only way to survive these Chicago winters. </div>

Two of my girlfriends and I have a playgroup every Thursday afternoon - and this was my week to host. I ended up doing a cheese platter, a pepper jelly dip, and a mushroom truffle pizza - all of which were amazing. We are currently obsessed with Trader Joe's sparking brut Rose, so we had a few glasses of that while our six kids (combined) played. The kids look forward to Thursday afternoons <i>almost </i>as much as the moms do. </div>

Did I mention that we are going to Mexico in a few weeks? We are heading to Punta Mita and could NOT be more excited. We are renting the condo that is right next to my parents, and my parents (and hopefully sisters) will be coming with too. My parents can't wait to show Leo and Drew their favorite place in the world, and I can't wait for a week of vacation! Pool, margaritas, sunshine.....I'm so looking forward to it. More posts to come on this - <i>hopefully ;) </i></div>

Joel got <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00REW4ZWQ/ref=twister_B06WWHYK64">these </a>boots for me - and honestly - they are the best winter boot/shoe I've ever had in my entire life. I've gotten a ton of compliments on them, and they're exactly what I needed - a cute enough shoe to wear all day, but waterproof and boot-y enough to walk in the slush and snow.</div>

We have a really fun weekend ahead - book club for me tonight at a neighbors (When Life Gives You Lululemons), and then I'm heading downtown with my mom and sisters for high tea! I'll stay the night in the city and then have Joel and the kids come get me on Sunday so that we can hang out with some friends and family too. </div>

Hello....anyone out there? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maybe, maybe not? It would be only fair if there were just about crickets...and my mom and Joel....but, I'm going to recommit myself to this space for attempt #23545. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not trying to be a #blogger, I'm not looking to turn a profit (although, I'm down for it), but I want to see, if I go back to the ways that this blog used to bring me joy.....if it still will. And if it doesn't, then maybe it'll be time to bow out for a little while.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the most part, this blog was a way for me to memory keep. Now, with Chatbooks and Instagram highlights, I sometimes feel like this space gets a little redundant. I also used to like to share my mundane for my family and friends back in Chicago when I was living in California, but now, they do that with me, so I feel quite a bit silly talking about what I ate for dinner, when they probably already know or were with me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm going to try, HARD, to get 4 posts up a week. Starting, next week ;) Something has me coming back to this little space, thinking about it a lot, so I'm going to see what happens if I commit to it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not sure why I feel like I need to share the above, but, I typed it out, so we'll go with it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, if you're new - or if you're not - here's what you should know about me </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
::: I'm 30. I live in the Chicago suburbs, I'm married - to Joel - with two kids; Leo (3) and Drew (1). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
::: Joel and I have been together since I was 19. We dated long distance in college, moved together to Chicago, and then moved to Los Angeles for 5 years where we got engaged, married, and had Leo. We've been back in Chicago for 2 years.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
::: I have wanted to be a #SAHM since I was probably 4. I like my job as mom and wife and homemaker, and I like to feel like I do a pretty good job of it. The house is always pretty clean, the kids almost always look cute (I do not....but they do). I get joy out of cooking dinner and eating at the table together, I like being around other moms, keeping everyone on a pretty decent schedule, and I like going to sleep before 9pm.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
::: I could absolutely be accused of being #basic. I like to drink coffee until I can drink wine, I like to wear lululemons at target, I like any excuse to have a "playgroup", I like workout classes, I like pumpkin spice lattes, I'm down for uggs, I love the housewives, I listen to podcasts, I miss Gilmore Girls.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
::: I have 2 younger sisters that live in the city, and my parents and in-laws - all of whom we are very close to - live in our town. I see and talk to my mom everyday, see my in laws probably 3 times a week, and Joel works with my dad....so we have a <i>lot </i>of family time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
::: I think we are done having kids. I sort of always saw myself with 3 kids, but Joel has always wanted 2, and now that we have a boy and a girl, and the idea of not having to do it again sounds more appealing, I'm really coming around to the idea that our family is truly complete. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
::: I've never been there - but the next place I would move to would be Charleston. Or, if we hit it big, I'd like a winter house there ;) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
::: I've mentioned it before, but I have a weird thing with textiles. I hate velvet, silk, fleece, wool, spandex.....I know I said I wear lululemons to target, but I actually hate the material of lululemons, and whenever I get home, I immediately have to change into something cotton. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
::: I'd like to be an interior designer someday.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
::: I get energy from being around other people. I like to have friends over constantly, be around other people, be out of the house, and always have a full calendar. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
::: During the day, I don't like to have the TV on, but I have podcasts going pretty much all the time, from almost the second I wake up to the moment I go to sleep. Similar to the point above, but hearing people talk calms me and energizes me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
::: I have quite a bit of anxiety ..... worst thing ever. I take medication for it - used to have the BEST therapist in the world in LA, but haven't found the right one since we moved here. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
::: My favorite food is probably pizza with an ice cold beer. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
::: Or maybe sushi and a glass of champagne - tough call ;) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
::: I drink a lot of lime La Croix</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
::: I rarely shower. Maybe 3x a month? I much prefer a bath and normally take them when my kids nap. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
::: And I really believe in this </div>

After Christmas, Joel had to go back to work - and with the kids home full time without any sort of activities plus the chaos and over stimulation that comes with the holidays - I was about ready to lose my mind. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We spent a lot of time at a gymnastics training center that had open gym a little more frequently for Christmas break - and that was about the only thing that got us through! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was mostly excited for New Years Eve to roll around to honestly start moving on to the next chapter - but we didn't let the day go without celebrating of course. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last minute, we decided to head to Bowlero with good friends of ours. It's kind of like a Lucky Strike, but they went all out for a kids "noon years eve" and we honestly had the best time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="640" src="https://uniim1.shutterfly.com/ng/services/mediarender/THISLIFE/006090564711/media/44378189379/medium/1546804350/enhance" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It started at 10:30 am which was perfect - we had 2 hours of bowling, lane side lunch and pitchers of beer, arcade games, football games, loud music, and tons of NYE accessories. The kids AND parents had a blast, and we counted down at noon to ring in the new year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="640" src="https://uniim1.shutterfly.com/ng/services/mediarender/THISLIFE/006090564711/media/44378188699/medium/1546804330/enhance" width="480" /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="640" src="https://uniim1.shutterfly.com/ng/services/mediarender/THISLIFE/006090564711/media/44378189567/medium/1546804355/enhance" width="480" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When we got home around 2, everyone took naps - including me - while Joel prepped an amazing dinner for the two of us ( ahi tuna poke and jumbo crab cakes) once we put the kids to sleep for the night.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="640" src="https://uniim1.shutterfly.com/ng/services/mediarender/THISLIFE/006090564711/media/44378191714/medium/1546804415/enhance" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We opened up a really nice bottle of wine we had been gifted for Christmas - ate dinner in the dining room - and played darts and my new favorite board game. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://uniim1.shutterfly.com/ng/services/mediarender/THISLIFE/006090564711/media/44378191776/small/1546804417/enhance" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was honestly a perfect day for me - friends, lots of games, food, drinks, family, and early to bed! I couldn't have wished to ring in the new year any better! </div>

We had the best Christmas. Leo is at such a fun age and it was just so special to have our family witness the joy of Christmas again through his eyes. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We started the Christmas weekend off with Brunch with Santa at my parents Country Club. My sisters and I have been going to this brunch for twenty years, and again - to now go to it as a mom - is really special. I used to dream about that when I was 12, and now I'm living it out. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="480" src="https://uniim1.shutterfly.com/ng/services/mediarender/THISLIFE/006090564711/media/44375885081/medium/1546718172/enhance" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="640" src="https://uniim1.shutterfly.com/ng/services/mediarender/THISLIFE/006090564711/media/44375882424/medium/1546718089/enhance" width="480" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Leo wasn't super thrilled with the idea of sitting on Santa's lap, but he did well, and didn't meltdown so we'll call it a win.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="640" src="https://uniim1.shutterfly.com/ng/services/mediarender/THISLIFE/006090564711/media/44375893185/medium/1546718472/enhance" width="480" /></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Joel and I hosted Christmas Eve for my Dad's side of the family, and ended up hosting 34 for dinner, with an extra 6 for happy hour/Santa gifts. The house was full - but it was one of the best times ever.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After brunch, we headed back to our house to start the prep work. My sisters, mom, and I put together 2 massive lasagnas, we set up the bar, the tables, and Joel prepped the beef tenderloin, shrimp and salmon appitizers, and made sure we were ready to roll. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="640" src="https://uniim1.shutterfly.com/ng/services/mediarender/THISLIFE/006090564711/media/44375897580/medium/1546718624/enhance" width="480" /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Christmas Eve I met some girlfriends for yoga at 7:30. It was the smartest way to start the day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="640" src="https://uniim1.shutterfly.com/ng/services/mediarender/THISLIFE/006090564711/media/44375897963/medium/1546718639/enhance" width="360" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After we got the kids ready, before we knew it, the day had begun. We had guests arrive at 1pm.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="640" src="https://uniim1.shutterfly.com/ng/services/mediarender/THISLIFE/006090564711/media/44375908796/medium/1546718973/enhance" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Drinks, good food, kids - it was amazing. Santa even dropped by for a visit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="400" src="https://uniim1.shutterfly.com/ng/services/mediarender/THISLIFE/006090564711/media/44375911043/medium/1546719042/enhance" width="300" /> <img height="400" src="https://uniim1.shutterfly.com/ng/services/mediarender/THISLIFE/006090564711/media/44375916493/medium/1546719200/enhance" width="300" /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Santa was quite the hit at the party. The kids were in awe and every parent brought a wrapped gift for their own kid - which made the "exchange" really simple.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We sat for dinner at 5pm, we set up a buffet in the kitchen and then had one giant table in the living and dining room for everyone to sit at.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="640" src="https://uniim1.shutterfly.com/ng/services/mediarender/THISLIFE/006090564711/media/44375923549/medium/1546719407/enhance" width="640" /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After dessert, most people were headed home by 6:30. We cleaned and played games with my sisters and a few cousins, and then Joel and I stayed up until about 11 until we cleaned up the entire party. We put the chairs away, washed every dish - it was a lot of work - but really nice to wake up on Christmas morning without anything to do.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="640" src="https://uniim1.shutterfly.com/ng/services/mediarender/THISLIFE/006090564711/media/44375956116/medium/1546720287/enhance" width="480" /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Christmas morning came early - we made cinnamon rolls, and our little family sat around the Christmas tree and exchanged gifts. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="640" src="https://uniim1.shutterfly.com/ng/services/mediarender/THISLIFE/006090564711/media/44375957478/medium/1546720335/enhance" width="480" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We took our time at home, watched the kids play with their toys - and wrapping paper - and leisurely got ready before we headed to my parents.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="640" src="https://uniim1.shutterfly.com/ng/services/mediarender/THISLIFE/006090564711/media/44375958868/medium/1546720370/enhance" width="480" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We got to my parents around 11, and then opened more gifts with my parents and sisters. Everyone was OUTRAGEOUSLY generous, and we all had gifts to open for like an hour! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="640" src="https://uniim1.shutterfly.com/ng/services/mediarender/THISLIFE/006090564711/media/44375960253/medium/1546720411/enhance" width="480" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After gifts, my dad made swedish pancakes, and then we all took a long walk. The weather was SO mild for Christmas - like 40/45 degrees - so we were able to take our drinks and the kids and play outside for almost an hour. It was one of my favorite memories of the entire day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="640" src="https://uniim1.shutterfly.com/ng/services/mediarender/THISLIFE/006090564711/media/44375961295/medium/1546720444/enhance" width="360" /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We also played a really fun marbles game while Drew was napping - and then - Joel and my mom prepped an amazing dinner - lobster, corn salad, potatoes....everything was perfect. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="640" src="https://uniim1.shutterfly.com/ng/services/mediarender/THISLIFE/006090564711/media/44375961785/medium/1546720461/enhance" width="360" /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We packed up our car, got our kids home early, and cheersed a glass of wine to a Christmas well spent. </div>
