This week has turned into a shit show trying to stay on top of work. I am glad to see things picking up, but also feeling a major strain having to get it all done on time while also entertaining Zoe. I feel bad that she is basically left to her own devices several hours every day. Her and Mac have been best buds and keeping each other company, but I know she gets bored and she has cried and begged for me to stop working a few times. The mom guilt is real.
We have had rain on and off all week. Zoe has discovered the power of a good puddle, and taken full advantage. It is funny watching the girliest girl ever splash all over the place.
We also made slime this week. Something I swore I was never going to do. Luckily, Zoe is pretty good about getting messes to a minimum. We used this recipe.
Favorite Purchases: I ordered a smores maker for a special treat for the 4th since we will be staying at home. I think this will be perfect year round!!! And with a little one running around, I like that we wont have to worry about an open flame. It was such a good deal, had great reviews and look how cute it is!
Favorite Recipe: I made these chicken stuffed avocados this week, and they are always delicious!
Favorite Workout: I tried a new to me Youtuber workout, Healthy Fit With Ty. I really enjoyed this HIIT workout. It is a full body workout, and this specific one…you don’t repeat any moves. It kept it moving quickly! I will definitely be doing more of hers.

LOVE the pics of Zoe in the puddle. Simple joys! So you guys decided to not go anywhere? That S’mores maker will be such a fun treat!
Zoe splashing in puddles has had me smiling all week in your stories! I’m so sorry about the mom guilt, that’s just plain tough some days! She is such a good little girl! Your Memes have me rolling this Friday morning! Happy Weekend babe!
Love seeing Z splashing in the puddles! It’s so much fun! I love that s’mores maker – such a good idea! I hear ya with all the working this week – it has sucked big time. I want to be a Taco Belle for Halloween.
That music cleaning is TOTALLLLLLY me!!!!
I always say I cant imagine how moms are doing it working at home with little ones.
I think I need a smore maker now!
Signing off from a Zoom meeting is so accurate. And the chicken stuffed avocados sound deeeeelicious.
Gosh. That mom guilt. I can’t imagine how your heart breaks. Poor mama and poor babe. M goes to either K’s mom, my mom, or K’s aunt three times a week. She seems ok with it but she’s starting to get into the mom-clingy stage. She gives me that look every time I leave and I think she’s going to start throwing a fit within the next few weeks. SIGH. It sucks making them cry.
Hah, Taco Belle. I love it!
Aw, I’m sure it’s tough to work from home when Zoe is crying for you to stop. It won’t always be like this though, and she’s okay. I love the photos of her pudding jumping. Too cute.

Like I said in the previous post, I really need that smores maker. My girls would love this as a Summer treat each week! Those chicken stuffed avocados look really good!
