This is a long one, friends. But please read it or bookmark it to read it later if you can't right now. It's important.
Over the weekend I watched The True Cost movie after many of you recommended it. The recommendations came after a post I did with Walmart last week that dredged up a lot of thoughts and feelings on fast fashion.
When we threw together Amalia's playroom in (literally) a week last year, we had no idea how much use it would end up getting. We spend a ton of time in here, but never really made it fun and playful for a kid vibe. We pretty much just pulled out our dining room table, swapped in a play mat, and called it a day.
We have gone through many an up and down in my house this month, phew! It's been a doozy but despite the illnesses, the scares, and the breakouts, we've had a lot of laughs. Amalia is at this really fun age where she makes jokes and laughs hysterically at herself or dance around in her diaper giggling.
This month I challenged myself to get back into cooking at least 5 nights/week and so far it's going well, but only because I've been doing a lot of planning ahead and meal prepping. In order to get in our raw veggies, I've found that pre-making one or two everyday salad dressings makes that a lot more realistic.
