Sick week

It's always interesting to me how different weeks are when we are sick. All things on the calendar, fun and not so fun, disappear. Suddenly, there is a lot more time for cuddles and movies. Oh and free time in a confine space with no one to visit. 

It's about a close to a break I get as a mom (and thank goodness since I had an unexpected root canal this week!). Madeleine no longer gets her shoes to play at the park. Instead, she snuggles next to me on the bed with a book. Meals don't have to be fancy, and snack tends to be hot chocolate or bagels. Matt even took this week a bit easier. He was home most nights by 7 and asleep by 8.

Since I was the only one feeling well, I tried a few new things.

I tried out this recipe which was perfectly yummy. It's kind of weird thinking that in April I had kale for the first time, and now we eat a variety of greens regularly.

I also tried this one. I think it needs a bit of tweaking, but surprisingly Madeleine loved it.

We went to the library Wednesday night. I browsed through the non-fiction and picked up this book. I'm on chapter 6 and I kind of feel that fate brought this book to me. It's exactly what I felt like reading during this rainy week.

I organized the kitchen and went through Madeleine's clothes.

I read this book and wasn't very impressed.

I started a facebook group about zero-waste lifestyle!

Hopefully in the next few days everyone will be back to 100%, but until then, this pause has been nice.
