She carried this ice halfway down the block to her bus stop and is making herself a "cook-off" so she can roast marshmallows.

I like trying new stuff, and this had me curious (and, truthfully, a bit unsettled). My curiosity got the best of me.
Oddly, it's better warm than cold--either way, it's definitely a weird flavor adventure.

Parenting is weird and random. I just found this unused sticker between the arm of the couch and the cushion.

I can't be trusted alone at a store with my three-year-old. On the plus side, we have a ridiculous plush banana now. #Parenting

There are now 3-5 bus kids who watch for me and/or make faces back at me in the morning.

My kids take the bus to school. There was a kid looking out of the window with a forlorn, sad expression one day, so I decided to make silly faces at him during pickup. He smiled. I have done this every day since. He makes faces back at me now, too. I hope this ritual helps him start his day right.

Earlier, a neighbor came to tell me how slippery the roads were because he heard me scraping ice off my vehicle. My neighbor was concerned for my safety. #MidwesternNice #HereToStay #Ope

I mostly just let my three, five, and seven-year-old pick out my clothes when I'm indecisive now. I might look a little weird, but it sure does save a lot of time. #ParentingHacks

Gonna just wear these house shoes forever now, because I am further entering my "old lady" phase. May as well embrace the final form as it arrives.
I apologize--I'm supposed to call them "work shoes" for some reason...?? 🤷♀️

We had a dance party before bedtime for my kids today. My middlest child now wants to learn how to breakdance.

I saw something that said, "The world needs more art teacher energy." Reflecting on how I wore a taco costume to last Friday's game night, at a public place, without any discernably good reason, I now realize I may have missed my true calling.
