Day 125: cooking day

Gratitude list:

  • play dates: the girls had another play date yesterday and by 5pm I had 4 kids in the house running and laughing around. I am grateful that despite the pandemic, my girls can still get to play with their friends. Social/emotional skills will rule the future so I am super supportive of fostering relationships for them. 
  • indulgent shows  shows that I know well but keep going back for a long time was sex and city, and recently it’s normal people. Watching an episode feels like a treat.
  • reading time with the girls: after few months of reading after dinner, even Lizzy is into it. She looks so into it although she doesn’t even know alphabet. Love it!

Saturday was a super productive day, I’ve accomplished all my to-do list and a bit more.

Unplanned 10 miles run because I felt so good and so intrigued about the story in the podcast.
