Yikes, it’s been cold this week! It’s 18 degrees here right now, which is very cold for Maryland (although when we lived in Vermont, I would have laughed at that statement!). Snow is in the forecast, we’ve got sick kids, and my face is still red from getting it micro needled the other day. I think it’s safe to say that we’ll be staying home this weekend and hibernating.

The best part about that is that I’ll have plenty of time to read and to play in the kitchen, and I’m planning on making a few batches of soup. The girls love soup, and it seems like the perfect thing to have simmering on the stove when we’re home all day without anywhere to be. I’m also terrible about eating lunch during the week, but if I have a pot of soup ready to go, I’ll heat that up, so I’m going to make another batch that has a lot of veggies and a little more of an exciting flavor for me. Now, if I could just figure out how to teach Mr. Trucks to walk himself, I might never leave the house! -Eloise
