Navigating motherhood beyond Six Corners

6 notes

This week is off to a good start…
Little B slept through the night last night and woke up at 6:45 a.m.! I felt like a different person today with so much rest.
It’s national root beer float day today.  It reminds me of two NYEs ago when Mr. B and discovered root beer flavored vodka and made post-dinner spiked root beer floats for all of our friends.  It made for a good night…
Little B was dancing boy band style at Mr. Dave’s music class today.  Where did he get his rhythm?
I stopped into Trillium on Division on our walk today.  Some amazing sweaters, blouses and denim for Fall.  Not to mention some great end of summer pieces on sale!
I got to hang out with my niece today!  She’s adorable…
The books I ordered for Little B last week arrived!  I love new books (and not just those on my Kindle).  Little B favored the one about trucks and trains, naturally (he is fascinated by the “L” and construction sites).  
To finish off “Meatless Monday”, I made this amazing Greek quinoa for dinner.  I diced a red pepper, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, black olives, and artichokes and tossed with arugula, Cindy’s Greek vinaigrette and a sprinkle of feta (okay, a lot of feta). A light meal that was easy to put together as I was making Little B’s dinner (devoured after he was asleep with a glass of wine and a few g-free chocolate chip cookies, of course).
Heading to the burbs tomorrow for a play date.  I have no idea where I’m going.  Wish us luck!
