note{s} to self.

try to remember to boil eggs more often. creamed eggs on toast is the best ever and {your butt and thighs will kill me for saying this...} you should probably eat it, like, several times a week.

next time you take flonase, be sure to have an entire box of tissues handy.

be grateful that your sweet almost-two-year-old loves it when you sing lullabies to her. stop trying to sing "i love to see the temple" in one breath so you can get out of her room faster at night.

serena turns two in like 3 weeks. get crackin' on planning her birthday party.

you go through paper towels like it's nobody's business. did you know that it's just as effective to dry your hands on a clean dish towel as it is to dry them on 5 sheets of paper towel? plus, they are expensive.

stop trying on your pre-pregnancy jeans. the scale will tell you when it's time.

accept that any toy you give to harper will be cast aside when she sees a paper towel, plastic cup, a sock, or a package of diaper wipes. those seemingly boring items are apparently much more fun/interesting than any cute toy you might buy her.

don't procrastinate planning your yw lessons until 10:30 pm the saturday night before. unnecessary amounts of stress.

look into the bountiful basket.

stop playing angry birds so much. it's making your carpal tunnel act up.

tell sean he's awesome for bringing serena to work today while you had lunch with your sister.

try this recipe asap. pretty sure the whole fam will love it.

love, ariel

oh, and you're out of paper towels.
