When the day is hard, I use that tiny bit of energy to get us to a place, where it might even be harder, but I know she'll have fun. And we'll both be happier.

This morning I woke up worse than 'normal'. So all norms and values about screen time go out the window. We just need to survive this day.

Sometimes this is what parenting with LoCo looks like.

Life with gastric bypass;
Drinking tea, while watching your kids devour their hot chocolate with whipped cream and a cookie.
Some days are still a little hard.

It's always a challenge keeping 1 (or 2) kid(s) happy and entertained without screens, while another is at their club.
Luckily, Smart Games are always a success.

Most beautiful day in weeks. Been yearning for a day like this.
Went upstairs, with the intention to do some gardening on our sunny balcony.

Before I even set a foot outside, I crashed...

That's it.
That's the end of the story.

It's that time of the week...
50% medicine
50% vitamin
I have no clue if any of them actually do the trick.

I'm so cold, I put my hands in the oven, right after cooking Lasagna.

(Was really tasty by the way)

After a very shocking and exhausting week I received this sweet package from another LoCo.

I love how this community supports each other.

My visible app is asking me to take a quiet day, but of course, today is an exciting day, with lots of stuff planned.

If all dementors could stop multiplying, that'd be great, thanks.

Super happy with our Goldie Sourhouse, making creating a starter and sourdough, 10 times easier.

Oops.
I wanted to make dinner, but a simple mistake like this is something I can't handle anymore.
Pizza it is tonight.
