We all know how crappy it feels to get into your car on a hot summer day. Yikes! So to keep Lily's car seat from heating up and having the metal burn her legs and bum, I just place a reflective dashboard cover over her car seat. It looks totally stupid, but helps a lot!
We set up a pool for Lily and put it in the front yard of our 4-plex. I then proceeded to park my car on the grass and wash it with the hose. Do you get more trashy than that?!
Okay, we took an adventure to this museum in Salt Lake City. I have to admit I didn't love the LDS themes, but tried to appreciate the uniqueness of the whole place.
What a fun time we had! Since all the pools are closed here on Sunday (LAME) we splashed around in the freezing -and beautiful- Provo river.
What a view!!
It has been hard for me to get home at 6:30 and scrape together a good dinner before it's late. SO...I made dinner plans that are super easy and that can be prepared beforehand so I just throw a few things together when I get home.
I've taken our favorite recipes and split them up so I can do as much as possible before work.
Here's how it looks:
I plan one week at a time then post them on this:
So far so good! Do you ladies have any other tips/ideas??
We have been watching this every single morning. And dressing up like a princess every single morning. And dancing and wearing gloves and running out of the room, leaving our glass slippers behind us.
So here are some coloring pages to print out for your little princesses:
I seriously cannot take any credit for this - it was all Dan's idea! And although it took us a few weeks of 10-minute crafting sessions, we (Lily included!) are all pleased with the outcome.
We have been seeing the same pediatric ophthalmologist at Primary Children's Medical Center in SLC for 2 years now. Things were slow, we only had appts every 6 months, and we really weren't seeing much change, despite new prescriptions. Lily's wandering eye kept...wandering! He is supposed to be the best in the state, but we weren't feeling very hopeful.
After talking with my cute friend Mindy (who's daughter Abby also has glasses) we decided to switch to her doctor. What a miracle! He has helped us so much, answered all our questions, and has helped us move forward. We are so grateful to have switched!
So thanks to Dr. Larsen, Lily now has a new, stronger prescription, bifocals, and we have a game plan. They are helping a lot so far, but we have to practice with her every day to get her to look through the bifocal when she's looking close up. We'll get there!
I took Lily and her cute friend Abby to Discovery Gateway in SLC, a totally fun and educational place for kiddos. If you haven't been, you must go! Here are some highlights:
