enJOY it

cheering on Ellerie and Piper and their new sleeping habits. Ellerie has successfully transitioned to her toddler bed and Piper is sleeping through the night most nights. I probably just jinxed myself by typing it out, but I don't even care. If we got there once, we'll get there again. Next step, getting them in the same room!

feeling all the feelings that baby Piper will be the last little one to sleep at the end of our bed in a bassinet. It's bitter and sweet…so basically, it's parenthood.

listening to the Modern Love podcast on my walks.

completing any and all puzzles, but this one was an instant favorite. It was almost painful to take it apart.

painting with Ellerie every day. Her patience for sitting and doing one thing has gone up and I'm loving every (hard-earned) second.

signing the lease on a new office/warehouse space (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!). Get To Work Book has officially out-grown my garage.

speaking of GTWB, check out the new (really fun!) product I launched this week.

reading this, with this and this on deck.

watching Master of None, X-Files and, ahem, the Bachelor.

enjoying the unseasonably (even for San Diego) warm weather.

chatting about pregnancy, birth and post-partum on the Pregnancy Perfect podcast this week.

marveling at how easy and enjoyable nursing is this time around. I can't get over it. Five years from now I'll probably still be talking about it. And by "five years", I really mean "seventy-five" because THAT WAS SO UNEXPECTED.

obsessing over the fact that you can now have multiple IG accounts logged in that the same time.

loving the groove my little family is settling into.

wishing you a great rest of the week.

    Between all the little and big milestones, it really does sound like you’re enjoying a really sweet period currently. Just reading through this list is giving me an extra dose of happy too…I realized that I need to break out one of the puzzles I have in boxes (it’s been way too long since I’ve worked on one). Also, that Instagram news is really exciting, especially as I’ve been wanting to open a new account for my yarn store but was dreading a little bit the thought of logging in and out constantly. I saw you mentioning it on Instagram earlier today but couldn’t figure out how to do it, so I really appreciate the link you included here! 🙂
    Hope the rest of your week will be just as sweet!

    I love all those shows but especially Bachelor!! My friends and I do a Bachelor fantasy league where you pick girls to be on your “team” and get points when they go on dates, get helicopter rides, or generally do ridiculous things. We watch together, drink lots of wine and yell at the TV… it’s good times.
    Congrats on the new workspace and the fun new products!

    That’s amazing, Elise! I’m happy to hear that things go well with you. I’m in London on these days. It’s so wet and cold here. I miss our warm weather so much! It’s spring and everything blooms and blossoms. I’m looking forward to enjoying some new photos from you. Let the Lord be with you and your happy family. Say hello to Ellerie and Piper from me!
    Blessings,
    Matilda
