Teach Me How to Mommy

I'm usually pretty good at remembering things, but in the year years since becoming a mom, the list of things I need to remember has become insanely overwhelming.  There are days when it's 7 pm, I'm standing at the sink washing dishes and I space out -- brain dead from the number of things I've mentally remembered over the past 20 hours (not 24 because I do need to sleep!).   -------- I've read countless articles over the past 4 years about "The List".   You know the one I'm talking about: The mental list that you rehearse in your head at night, the last thing you think about before you fall asleep, the list you think about first thing in the morning before you even mentally prepare yourself to put your feet on the floor, the same list that you check items off of throughout the day (mine has little squares that I put mental check marks in... it makes me abnormally happy to do that).   This list... men just don't understand it.   ...

WINTER IS COMING! ......though it might not feel like it with the extra warm weather Central CT was having.  We've both been sort of dreading the winter months...  once that snow and bitter cold hits it's hard not to feel stuck in the house. There is about to be no more running out of the house on a whim to a playground, no more outside play as soon as we get home from school... no more soccer on the weekends, AND now we'll need to bundle up, find the hat and HOPEFULLY matching gloves,  and re-enter the battle of the dreaded SNOW BOOTS...  ohhh snow boots... As a result, this year we have decided to compile ourselves a list of Winter fun! We encourage you to add to our list, and to join us on our adventures!   We also promise to update and link you to all of the fun that we have.   Be sure that you are following us on Facebook & Instagram for the LIVE updates of all our fun!.
