Work has been quite busy, which generally affects Cate the most because she has to keep herself occupied on my especially stressful days. The other morning, though, I decided that no matter how much work I had, I was going to spend a few hours with Cate, one-on-one, completely focused on her.
She had recently received the Play-Doh Ice Cream Shoppe, which she was dying to try out. We cracked it open and had such a great morning. Cate was mesmerized by the Playdoh, and the whole time I felt blessed and content. I need to make more of my mornings that way.
On to the menu! This week features a fast and furious trip to San Diego. I can’t wait!!
