Or, phone rules for fellow people who lack self-control and balance. I have struggled with a love-hate relationship with my phone for soooo long.

(Warning, this post will contain mentions of bodily fluid) How Eleanor Came to Be. I want to write this all down while I still have child care (grandparents FTW) and it’s still fresh in my mind!

[November Update] HEALTH: Walk 6,000 steps a day. // Most days. I missed once a week, so I achieved my somewhat-pathetic-don’t-judge-me goal 80% of the month to be exact.

For the first time, we did a family costume! It was so incredibly fun to have a family project. The boys and I had read The Wizard of Oz as a part of our morning chapter book couch time (it was…unexpectedly dark and scary. And so different from the movie!) Then we watched the movie.
