8AMDaddy was staying at a friend's house, so when Lulu woke up we had mama/daughter snuggles in bed. I love this morning ritual SO much.

9AM

Breakfast, coffee and shopping list making time.

10AM Target! Lucy is going through a phase where she doesn't want to sit in the cart anymore, which is further complicated by her current phase of wanting to hide in the clothing racks and jump out and yell "booya!" at other shoppers. I bribed her with a cake pop from the Starbucks that's inside the store to sit in the cart. A mom's gotta do what a mom's gotta do sometimes.

11AM Out for a walk to the park we ran into one of out cats, El Guapo, aka Pappa, aka Fatty Booms, aka Sir Guaps-a-lot.

12PM Winding down before nap time, playing trains with Daddy. We got some new pieces from Ikea the day before so it was a pretty exciting moment.

1PM Decorating. We also got a new shoe storage solution from Ikea (blog post soon) so I of course had to redesign the art on the wall.

2PM Prepping dinner in the slow cooker. What an awesome invention...

3PM Iced coffee time! I recently began drinking coffee again. My friend told me, "it's a slippery slope." So true, but damn, it's just so good.

4PM MORE decorating. Framing some art with frames we got at Ikea. If you need cheap frames, it's the place to go. We got 7 big ones for less than 30 bucks.

5PM High priority work - doing my nails for the upcoming week. These are Sally Hansen Salon Effects (Hiss-terical design) which are so great. No dry time and they last for about 2 weeks with no chipping.
