Live Blog – What Week is It?
Good afternoon from me and my *perfectly* frothed coffee. If you follow me on instagram, you know I upgraded my frother game last week and truly feel my life has been changed with this baby. (Dramatic? Maybe. But times are tough, we’ve got to take what we can get in the joy department OKAY!) It’s pricy, but worth every. single. penny.
What week of quarantine are we on? 7? 8? It’s crazy to me that if that many weeks ago, someone would have told me what was coming, it would have sounded unbearable. But we’re making it. Humans are so resilient.
While I believe in looking for the good in all things, calling this a blessing or a good thing rubs me the wrong way. People are dying and losing their livelihoods and nothing about it is good. I’ve definitely been looking for the bright spots, but I view it more as making lemonade out of really rotten lemons, not as calling a pandemic a blessing in disguise.
Speaking of making lemonade:
- This time has really taught me a lot about what I truly value, and what is just taking up space in my life.
- We’ve reached the tie-dye phase of quarantine. Thoughts and prayers for anything white in my whole house.
- I online shopped for my birthday. My entire order of the place I bought the most things got canceled, so that’s fun. BUT some of my amazon things have come, and I love them all. More importantly, they all fit (WHAT???). So far I’ve gotten: These palm earrings (because I WILL have tropical vibes, even if I can’t go on a tropical vacation), this bikini (which fit so well that I’ve already ordered it in two other colors), this romper (that is super flattering and is so comfy), and this romper that looks like a mini-dress (so cute for far off days when we’ll leave the house once again).
And speaking of lemons:
- Jack has just completely quit naps. I am TIRED.
- Working from home with a four year old also at home is a lot. I will leave it at that, because all things considered, he’s pretty cute and I love him.
What’s your lemonade? Lemons? Are you hanging in there? Love you! xo Chels

Zoe has quit naps too. WHYYYYYY. Now we have “work time” a couple times throughout the day where I disregard anyone judging screen time and throw an ipad her way and some crayons. We gotta do what we gotta do. That is a super cute swimsuit! We have a frother on our Ninja Coffee Bar that has made my daily life much more enjoyable. If you cant starbucks at starbucks, at least you can do it at hpme. And you can even set $7 on fire to make you get the full experience. Hahahaha
hahaha omg girl NO JUDGEMENT HERE. What are screen time limits? We don’t know her.
So are you ever going to the get the order that was cancelled?! Is it cancelled forever?!?!?! YIKES.
Unsolicited advice, you need to do “quiet time” in place of nap time. Aiden still pops out to tell me about whatever toy action figure he’s playing with (or tablet game he’s playing, let’s be real), but for the most part it’s a solid break. DON’T GIVE UPPPP hahaha
If M quit naps I wouldn’t survive. And her pathetic ass naps are only 45 minutes anyway. UGH. Every once in a while I get a 1.5 or 2 hour nap out of her.
It’s definitely not a blessing 🙁 I’m trying to find the silver linings, but it sucks & it’s heartbreaking for so many people and families.
