Trader Joe’s chocolate-covered pretzels are the devil. Or at least one of his tools of destruction. I hadn’t bought them in a while, and for some reason (I think it was the devil sitting on my shoulder) I bought a bag this weekend. And now I remember why I stopped buying them…I lose all self-control! The bag is almost gone, which means…I may have to hit Trader Joe’s later today. ๐
Our last visitor is coming this week: Nate’s mom. I love my mother-in-law. I love all my in-laws. No one believes me. I could live with them. For real. So I can’t wait for Pat to get here! I’m putting a meal plan together, but it may change based upon, well, life with a newborn and the fact that Pat will be here!
