AW the cake I made for MIL’s birthday. She’s bummed about the big 65 so I’m hoping the effort of a scratch cake will cheer her up. Channeling my inner dreemkin in the kitchen 😉

Oooh that’s a fancy looking cake! I made a cheesecake a few days ago. I still had the springform pan from 10 years ago when I made one lol.

I took it in to the office today for everyone to enjoy bc it was pretty large and I wasn’t about to eat that all myself.

I've had some exciting days at work with recent news about being invited to the part of a new leadership training program and also being asked to be part of product launch meetings. My new employee has been hired and she starts next week.

But all that mixed in with year end means I haven't made it to the gym yet this year, which was bumming me out today, so I walked to the bus stop this morning. Any bit helps.

Oh and A decided he was going to use the little potty tonight. But he wanted privacy and shut the door on me. So I figured he was just playing like he has been lately, copying V, but when I came back into the bathroom there was pee in, on and around the potty, and a little poo on the floor. He was so proud of himself, too.

kartish congrats on the job change! I haven't been to the gym either. I'm up 4lbs of holiday weight (I guess not too bad considering the way I've been eating). Hopefully A potty trains quickly then! How old again?

Yesterday my sister and nephew left. It was nice seeing them. It does make me sad to see how globally delayed my nephew is. He will be 2 yo in a few months and is still not walking, poor kid.

We went to church last night! And to a nice dinner afterward. Today is the bears playoff game! BEAR DOWN! 🏈🙏

[kartish]

dreemkin, he's almost two, but I don't think this is more than a passing fancy. V did the same thing around this age. But it encouraging thay maybe it won't take as long as it did with V.

It snowed a ton today. The roads were crazy. Work was busy but the roads kept the crowds away. DH starts his new job tomorrow!

In an effort to reclaim rest time, cause G still needs downtime if not actual sleep, I ordered the first illustrated Harry Potter. Said it was my new book and of course G immediately asked to read it with me. I’ve been reading him bits from my kindle per his request lately.

He ended up trading all of the steps of his bedtime routine for more HP tonight. Between rest & bedtime we finished the first chapter.

[dreemkin]

lilyelayne that's awesome. We are HP fans and have been wondering if it was too soon to start reading it to them. Might have to try it!

[dreemkin]

I'm bummed guys. The Bears had a heart breaking loss, I feel fat, and something I've been researching for 6 months was shot down by DH. Petty things but all piling up right now

I’m sorry it’s a rough time. I hope you sleep well tonight

Per the responses to the picture I posted on fbook, this is a great age to start.
