How is everyone hanging in? I am not going to lie, I had a few hard days this week. Mostly Tuesday. I don’t know what it was about that day, but I was in a horrible mood and Zoe seemed to be too. It just seemed to be too much that day. But then the sun came back out, we got outside and got our daily walks and fresh air back…and I am feeling ok again.
I have a few recipes that I want to post, and will hopefully get around to that next week. Not to mention, book day is coming!!! I am about 30 minutes away from finishing my second book this week. Both were so good, and I cant wait to talk about them!
We are supposed to have some really shitty weather on Easter. Like we don’t have enough to be anxious about, now we have to worry about tornadoes too! I think I am going to stuff Easter eggs tonight, and do a hunt with Zoe outside tomorrow instead. Spread the Easter fun over two days. I hate that she is getting a lot of outdoor stuff, and wont be able to enjoy it on Sunday.
Favorite Service: I cannot be more thankful for things like Shipt and Instacart. We had used Shipt for our first two grocery deliveries, but decided to try out Instacart this week. Groceries have been so expensive, haven’t they??? I do the majority of our shopping at Aldi, and Shipt doesn’t go there but Instacart does. I placed my order on Tuesday, and it came yesterday. Crazy the wait times! I was so nervous that we weren’t going to get the ham I wanted for Easter. Or much meat at all. But apparently, Aldi has been doing a good job stocking, because we got everything I asked for! (Well, with two substitutions. But MUCH better than our Target and Publix experiences.)
Favorite Purchase: Now that I have my office painted, and a fancy chair put together…I want to decorate! All I want to do is spend an hour in HomeGoods looking around. Why is that too much to ask these days??? Until I get that chance, I decided to splurge and order a fancy candle to burn while I am working. I decided on Tobacco Flower but I really want to try White Rose too.
How gorgeous is it?! I plan to reuse the packaging for others when it burns down. I also ordered this one because it is pink and on major sale.
Favorite Workout: The one thing I can say about this quarantine, is that I have worked out and moved more than I have in a long time. I have been hitting my move and exercise goals almost every day. (I missed Tuesday this week by 156 calories…UGH!!!!) This week I am back to more focused workouts, targeting different areas of my body. Tomorrow I will probably have a love/hate relationship with myself since I made today leg day. On Wednesday, I did an arms/abs workout that I actually quite enjoyed. There was only one floor move and no crunches. I FELT it hours later and have all week. It only takes 20 minutes, and Anna is my favorite. (I cant believe she is leaving Popsugar!)

What a week it has been. We picked up a Kroger ClickList yesterday and they were out of so much! Our Aldi postponed their opening but I can’t wait to be able to shop there. Hope you guys stay safe and have a great Easter!
This week was the same way for me. I think the hardest part is coming to the realization that this is probably the new normal for awhile now. And love me some popsugar- I rotate between them and Fitness Blender on Youtube. I totally didn’t know Anna was leaving -she’s my favorite too! Hope you all have a nice Easter and don’t get struck with too bad of weather.
I’m still super sad about Anna. And eff this bad weather that’s supposed to happen on Sunday. Seriously, WTF, man. I’m so glad you got that candle – it’s so pretty!! I can’t wait to see Z’s easter pictures! I’m taking a page out of your book and doing the hunt tomorrow as well!
Loving all your funnies… that was TOTALLY us this week about the TP – we got dangerously low & were like UH OH… but all is well now 😉
I think everyone is having those days with little ones – you know they are struggling too.
I’m so jealous of people that get deliveries – we live so far out, no one – not even pizza, comes to our house. BOO
Our weather is supposed to be rainy on Easter. Always. Warm and raining would be better than cold and raining (last year). Today it’s freaking snowing.
The teacher ecard is funny. I totally get why parents are overwhelmed. If I were teaching, I’d be heartbroken about not going back to school this year.
Oh man, I’m loving all the memes. It’s great.
Sorry Tuesday was a rough day, but I’m glad that the week got better. We’re supposed to have rain on Easter, but nothing crazy I don’t think. Wednesday night we had tornado warnings so we had to hide out downstairs for a bit. Never fun.
I really like the candles you got! I do love a good candle.
I should really look into Aldi when it comes to groceries – I hear they have a lot of gluten free options too, which is always nice.
