- Good (late) morning from San Diego! We got here on Wednesday and are SO enjoying being here with Jay's family. So far we have eaten all of the things and Beck has had a killer good time with her cousins. We are staying in a house that is the most kid-friendly place on earth, think literal Cupboard Under the Stairs, trampoline, remote control cars, and rope swing in the living room, among other things. Follow us on Instagram to see more if you're not already!
- Speaking of Instagram, I'm highlighting a bunch of my favorite holiday recipes over there as well. In case you aren't on Insta or can't be bothered, though (no offense taken), I HIGHLY recommend this ham that is so easy but feels fancy and snickerdoodles,, which I'm wishing I had a chance to make this season. Maybe I'll make Christmas cookies for New Year's Eve.
- The other day Beck was in a MOOD with two violent tantrums that lasted more than 30 minutes each in the morning, so by the time her nap rolled around I was READY. Then she slept for a long time and I held my pee the entire time because I had a fear that if I flushed and she woke up before she was ready we'd start the afternoon with more howling. I'm scared of my child.
- Beck is still too little to get Santa or anything like that, she seems to think that Santa is more of an uncle-figure who is going to show up at some point. I think she'll get it next year, though, and it makes me SO excited to have a new tool with which to attempt to manipulate her behavior.
- Weekend plans! Holiday weekends are just the best. We are going to the aquarium today, then to a beachy area to check out some sea lions and have lunch, and after that will probably be ready for more swinging in the living room, as one does. Have a great one!
