Getting into the new year

The pink eye continues...Noah is over his, but Luke now has it. It was inevitable, I guess. I just find it amazing that I haven't gotten it (of course I still could, but I am super careful about not rubbing my eyes...and my hands get washed quite frequently b/c of all the diaper changes and eye drops).

School starts back for the kids today. I think we all need our routine back. However, there's a change from before the Christmas break. Luke has transitioned out of his morning nap, so I lose that quite time in the morning of it just being me.

I don't mind so much though - now I can run errands with Luke and even take him to the library story time. The worst part of it is that my quite time was also when I took my shower. So now I have to get up before the kids if I want to get my shower in the morning - which I do. And to be safe, that means getting up at 5:30 at the latest to be ready in time.

Now that things are going to calm down a bit, this week I'm going to work on my homemade cleaners and soaps. So far I've only done the laundry detergent and it works just fine. I'll elaborate more on why I'm doing this and the benefits of it later, but I'm excited to try all the recipes I've gathered.
