Last week, we took both kids out to the mall to run some errands. We were at the mall for one hour, and during this time, we were able to complete two returns, browse for H's glasses, buy a new toothbrush holder, nurse baby P, and change S's diaper. It was a smashing success - P slept through the whole thing, S didn't throw any tantrums, and we even managed to pick up lunch on the way home.
The mall trip feels like such a distant glowing memory, even though it was barely a week ago. So many diapers have been changed, and we are exhausted every day.
Today, we took both kids to Matchstick, then we visited IKEA, all before noon. While S took a nap, H went to trim some of our trees and bushes, while I took care of P, who is going through his first leap. We are really truly exhausted today.
Thankfully, H picked up some chocolate chip cookies from Flourist the other day so that I could stress eat after the kids fell asleep:
Flourist has two locations now, and they're both fabulous. They have their own flour mill at their bakery, and they grind their own super nutritious, clean flour. It does taste better. Their cookies are the chewy type that I crave, and they use big chunks of real chocolate (not the crappy sugary chocolate chips).
Must keep more chocolate chip cookies at home for my mental health.
