This Fabulous Friday post is brought to you by my favorite time-wasting website/Instagram page. I LOVE the idea of getting tiny glimpses into people’s lives. I often find myself looking around at the people on the Metra or in cars next to me wondering what their stories are. There is not ONE truly uninteresting person on the planet. I love that.
Enjoy!
It has been a challenging week for the Giuliani household. I’m not sure if it was the weight of Madeline’s anniversary, or the crazy, stormy weather or the anticipation of trick-or-treating. But there were tears, and screaming, and yelling, and fighting, and refusals to go to bed, and refusals to wake up, and refusals to get dressed, and refusals to get undressed, and whining (oh the whining), and nightmares, and 6 am wakings, and stepping in cat puke. Always the cat puke.
Sigh.
But yesterday, we had two glorious hours of calm, creativity and cooperation. All thanks to Madeline’s concoction kit.
Madeline loves to create, and experiment, and explore, particularly with edible ingredients. So after years of her depleting my baking cupboard, we finally wised up and got Madeline her own stash. She loved it so much that “concoction ingredients” were on the top of her birthday list.
Her newest obsession is perfecting a functional (i.e. flight inducing) pixie dust recipe.
Of course, when cleanup time came, the concoction session ended poorly for everyone. Back came the screaming, and whining, and fighting, and complaining.
But, for those fabulous two hours, it was totally worth it.
My Fabulous Friday post is brought to you by my recent stressful experiences, which I will elaborate on in my Sunday post. I thought I’d share my go-to song for when I am overwhelmed by life.
Sleeping At Last’s: “I’ll keep you safe.”
Also…. this tree and the fact that it is Fall. Proof God loves us.
