For the previous few months, Ryan has been reducing the boys’ hair. Each month he picks up new methods and expertise and whereas he’ll be the primary to say their haircuts don’t appear to be they’re accomplished by knowledgeable, I feel he’s been doing an superior job!!

I additionally know 3.5 hours will fly by however you higher consider I’ve mastered the flexibility to pump out a bunch of labor in a minimal period of time since having youngsters. You realize the saying, “If you need one thing accomplished, give it to a busy individual?” Nicely, I wholeheartedly agree with that as a result of mothers and busy individuals someway simply how tips on how to get it accomplished. 4 3.5 hour stretches of time the place no baby wants me in the course of the week sounds magical to my mind that presently appears to reside in a state of multitasking and child chaos.

At the moment Making: Perfect M&M Cookies
We first tried these cookies when considered one of Chase’s mates introduced them to our home throughout a playdate over the vacations they usually blew us away. I’ve made so many M&M cookies over time they usually’ve all fallen slightly in need of my expectations however THESE are implausible!!! We’ve made them a handful of instances and whereas I do favor them with mini M&Ms just like the recipe requires, they work with common M&Ms as properly which I’ve accomplished a couple of instances once I need to use seasonal coloured M&Ms. One essential word: The dough looks like it is perhaps slightly dry and crumbly if you combine it however preserve mixing!!! The dough will ultimately come collectively and develop into tremendous thick. One little tip: I like to recommend under-baking them a bit for optimum tastiness.
At the moment Sipping: Yogi Egyptian Licorice Mint Tea
Aka my all-time favourite tea.
Random tea-related story: One night time when Chase couldn’t sleep, he got here downstairs to seek out Ryan making himself a mug of Sleepytime tea with our electric kettle. Ryan made Chase a mug, too, and he sipped it whereas we learn Harry Potter collectively. Chase will now ask for “tea and tales” after his little brothers go to mattress if he can’t sleep. (He even makes the signal of the letter “T” along with his palms and winks at us once we tuck him in similtaneously Ryder on Friday or Saturday nights as a result of he is aware of these are nights he’s allowed to remain up slightly later.) It’s cute and someway makes Chase look like slightly child and a youngster abruptly to me.
