“The days are long, but the years are short.”
Someone wise (and I can’t remember who) said that about motherhood, and it’s 100% true. Some days can feel never-ending when you’re alone with your baby. Then you blink your eyes and witness them eating, scooting all over the living room, and responding to certain words (like “Eagles!”) with a squeal and smile.
Time, please slow down. I’d like more time to enjoy this almost-mobile phase. Also, more time to work on my book.
On the whole, this week was a typical one. I met with my editor, grabbed lunch with Viv, and spent several quiet nights at home reading this book. I also got back in the workout wagon with boxing, hip-hop yoga, and several spin classes. It hopefully makes up for my larger-than-usual wine intake the past couple of weeks (whoops). We have a really chill weekend on deck – long walks with the little guy, a BBQ with friends, and catching up on sleep.
On to the links!
- I was absorbed on this story of the king of Greece – and why he lives in the country as a commoner.
- A
daynight in the life of a first year medical resident on night float. - Parenting goals, delivered.
- An amazing roundup of natural (and effective!) products for your face, body, and home.
- The one thing to do to jumpstart productivity (h/t to Belle for sharing originally).
- A self-admitted Trekkie, I loved this piece on how the series was the breeding ground for the coolest old hipsters.
