{Weekly Wins}: Pollen, Pollen Everywhere...

Ok, pollen is most definitely NOT a win this week (or any week). I've had my first serious reaction to it, besides normal sniffles etc. On Wednesday evening, MG and I took Ella out for a ride on her trike and I came in, feeling like something was in my eye so I took my contacts out, still felt it and looked in the mirror and my lower right lid was swelling up as I looked at it! Then my top left lid was semi swollen too! What the heck!

Anyway, besides my swollen eyes, the week had some wins:

~THE most adorable pics from daycare this week! Our girl is a smile-bandit apparently, and also getting into lots of mischief, but I can't stop loving this happy little face!

I'm obsessed with her!!!!! :)

~Teacher Appreciation gifts from students--always nice to be appreciated, whether it's gift cards, a little succulent plant, or just a nice thank you note (or the 4,000 donuts I feel like I consumed). We love our kids, and it's nice to know they appreciate our hard work.

~Weather temps that have been gorgeous! We're moving back into the 90s today and tomorrow, but this week has been really pleasant in the upper 70s and low 80s overall. Minus the pollen.

~A playdate scheduled for Saturday with our pumpkin patch friends. Still haven't decided what we are gonna do/where to go where two extremely mobile kids can't cause too much trouble (and/or drive us all mad), but it should be fun to get together

~Mother's Day this weekend! Crazy how quickly the last year's gone by--I remember being in the haze of new mommyhood last year during Mother's Day, holding my little squish!

Saturday I'll get to go to her swimming lesson with her since I missed last week's and I'm looking forward to seeing my little water baby in the pool.

~Ella made the transition to whole milk flawlessly! I'm still occasionally mixing in formula (because we're using every last drop of that expensive stuff!), but she drinks it straight up, no problem. Also, I used the last of my frozen breast milk this week. It's crazy to think that that chapter is completely done now. And a lot more space in our freezer....for ice cream (muahahah) :)

~I FINALLY started my next book, On the Jellicoe Road, yesterday. I feel like once I wrote it out as a confession yesterday, I needed to actively make time for reading which is something that I love and had been neglecting.

What are some wins for you this week?

Enjoy the weekend!!
