1. We have rain!!!!!!! After two months of drought in NJ where water conservation requirement was issued (!) we have rain! I honestly am so happy. Our trees and bushes really needed it. Yes, it’s cold, yes, it gets into your collar, but still, happy to have it!
2. Teachers gifts. I am a teacher myself so I like to purchase gifts for my kids’ teachers for the holidays.
L’s teachers (3) artsy magnets from Etsy. Teachers put stuff on magnetic boards all the time and need strong magnets. Those are works of art! I am actually a bit jelly 😉
R’s preschool teachers that are also his aftercare teachers (3): cozy socks + cash.
R’a preschool staff (family workers, janitors, cafeteria staff, etc): a crate of cookies from Cheryl’s Cookies.
L’s aftercare teachers (3): holidays cards with cash.
L’s piano teacher (1): ☝️need something meaningful.
Will be sure to have L write messages and sign cards. R will probably just write his name on the card.
We don’t do handmade gifts because I am just not handy. Plus I don’t have patience for crafts either.
3. Morning routine update. I’ve been up at around 4:30am ever since I wrote a post lamenting my lack of morning routine. And it’s been wonderful. I sat in silence, had my coffee, read my novel, did weights for upper body. I did not run around like a chicken whose head is missing. It’s been only four days but I truly hope to continue.
