“Get rid of anything that isn’t useful, beautiful or joyful.”
– I saw this on a blog a couple of months ago (and I’m so sorry for not crediting the original source but I have no idea which blog it was). I immediately typed it into my iPhone notes. It’s a tight squeeze in our apartment so I’m constantly picking things up and asking myself...

Snow!!
Oops. Just found this post in my drafts folder. I meant to post it last week.
Waking up to snow on a Saturday morning (i.e. the Saturday that happened over a week ago) is magical. I commented to John just how much I love snow and that I don’t understand how anybody could possibly complain about it. He replied that he would happily do without snow. I guess that’s the difference between...

Hurricane Charlotte strikes again
John: Where's the mouse? (for the computer)
Me: In the bathroom.
John: Oh, of course.
Update
I was a bit hasty with my ooh aah there’s an amazing Australian bakery open in midtown. I blogged before I taste tested. Unfortunately my sausage roll was disappointing. It had beef in it. Who puts beef in a sausage roll?
However.
The chicken & mushroom pie? OHMYGOD. So good.

Fly
I have no idea how this started but Charlotte will ask to fly. She keeps her legs dead straight, puts her arms out to the side, and then John lifts her up like a little gymnast.
Also, polka dot overload.

Working from Home
I recently lost my cubicle at work because I don’t spend enough time there. Understandable but still……(not a happy camper about it). As a result I will probably work from home more often.
I remember hearing a story about a colleague who would wave bye to his kids at the front door and then sneak around the back of the house and into his home office. If the kids knew he was home...
“Charlotte wore me out. I had to take a nap. Idk how you guys do it!”
– Jen kindly looked after Charlotte for a couple of hours yesterday so that we could run some errands. Looking after a toddler is definitely a lot of work! They have the shortest attention spam I’ve ever seen and are experts at destroying your home in minutes!

“On my calendar today: ‘remind yourself that when you die, your ‘in...”
– I read this on my friend’s Facebook earlier this week. I constantly have never ending to-do lists on the go and convince myself that as soon as I get them cleared I will relax. But the truth is the list never gets knocked down to nothing. Spotting this on Facebook was a good reminder to just...
