The tiniest quantity goes a great distance and I’m lovinggg these things!

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 seem like they’re achieved by knowledgeable, I feel he’s been doing an superior job!! Plus, something that saves us from popping into Nice Clips each 6 weeks for a trim seems like a great factor to me.

I additionally know 3.5 hours will fly by however you higher consider I’ve mastered the power to pump out a bunch of labor in a minimal period of time since having children. the saying, “If you’d like one thing achieved, give it to a busy individual?” Nicely, I wholeheartedly agree with that as a result of mothers and busy folks by some means simply how methods to get it achieved. 4 3.5 hour stretches of time the place no little one wants me in the course of the week sounds magical to my mind that at the moment appears to stay in a state of multitasking and child chaos.

At the moment Making: Perfect M&M Cookies
We first tried these cookies when certainly one of Chase’s pals introduced them to our home throughout a playdate over the vacations and so they blew us away. I’ve made so many M&M cookies over time and so they’ve all fallen a bit of wanting my expectations however THESE are improbable!!! We’ve made them a handful of occasions and whereas I do choose them with mini M&Ms just like the recipe requires, they work with common M&Ms as nicely which I’ve achieved a number of occasions after I need to use seasonal coloured M&Ms. One necessary be aware: The dough looks like it may be a bit of dry and crumbly once you combine it however hold 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 search 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” together with his fingers and winks at us once we tuck him in concurrently Ryder on Friday or Saturday nights as a result of he is aware of these are nights he’s allowed to remain up a bit of later.) It’s cute and by some means makes Chase appear to be a bit of child and a young person all of sudden to me.
