The weather here has been beautiful! Doesn't it always seem that the first Spring-ish day of the year it feels like it's 75 when it's really only 50? I love that. Friday, Ben and I set out on a long walk and a trip to the park down the street.
Jealous, Tim rushed home from work in time to also take Ben to the park. This park-right-down-the-street business is pretty nice. On Saturday we threw on some layers and took a 2.5 mile hike to an even cooler park.
With no sun, it was a lil chilly and poor Ben's hands were turning purple. On the way home, convinced that my child's fingers were going to fall off (in 50 degree weather?), I gave in and did a little stroller run with Tim. It was fun. Um, until I wussed out, screamed that we had to stop and felt like collapsing. All the while Tim was barely even breathing hard.
Oh, oh! Also, I'm applying for Wife of the Year award. Since I'm leaving for two weeks, I made out this awesome little schedule for Tim to go along with the 14 meals in the freezer. The schedule lays out when he needs to take each meal out of the freezer, how long it needs to thaw, how to cook it and what to pair it with. Vote for Chelsea!
Here's my beautiful little freezer stockpile for March. I don't know why I always insist on capturing every last moment of my life on camera, but I do. And I share. You're welcome.
We rounded off the weekend with TWO more trips to the park today and an unbelievably brilliant and slightly expensive purchase (don't tell Dave Ramsey). Enter my new best friend:
She is going to save my sanity on this little trek across the country. I know, I know! TV is bad! And TV for 16 hours straight is even bad-er! I get it. But it's the only way we're going to make it out of this trip alive; I feel it in mah blood.
My coffee is running out and my eyelids are doing that droopy thing, so I'll end this on one last happy note. Tomorrow is mine and Tim's wedding anniversary and I got a new phone! I would tell you how much I love it but there aren't words. It's so awesome to have a Palm again! I know you Blackberry folks think I'm nuts, but I didn't get it. I tried the Blackberry thing for the last seven months or so and I just...hate it. My Pixi rox. :)
Yay for Springish weather!!!
ReplyDeleteI think it's so funny that you love the Palm but hate Blackberry. Rob wanted a Blackberry but got a Palm instead and totally regrets it! Now he wants a Droid. I just want a phone that works...lol.
I hope you have a GREAT trip! DVD players are a lifesaver in the car for long trips. I'm sooo not a Blackberry or iPhone kinda gal, but I'm in the market for something different. The Palm Pre looked good?!
ReplyDeleteHey Chelsea, I need your advice. I'm an all natural kind of girl as you already know, but lately I've been slipping in some major ways... food, diapers, and personal care products! Can you help?
ReplyDeleteI love how you meal plan and cook ahead. I've never done that and I need help starting. First, I'm tired of the food I cook and want suggestions for new stuff, in fact I'd love to just print off somebody else's dairy and soy free month long or week long meal plans and go at it. Know of anywhere I can find that?
Cloth diapers are sucking these days. All my diapers have stinkies. I'm to that point where "nothing" works and I no longer have time to look for ideas. What works?
Personal care items at my health food store are expensive and it's time consuming to get them separately. I hate going to a million different stores and to add to that I live in a small town and secluded area. Should I shop online? Any easy and all in one place you like?
Thanks to any help you can offer,
Sav
Hey Sav! I'd love to share some of the things I do - could you send me an e-mail to chelseasaidso at gmail dot com?
