Ella has been hit-or-miss when it comes to sleep; my husband is working 12-hour night-shifts underwater, and I keep forgetting to put the laundry in until it's way too late in the day, requiring me to set an alarm so I can switch the clothes from the washer to the dryer.
Let's just pretend that last thing I said actually worked.
OK, moving on...
The good news is, it's Friday, and this week there have been a few things that are on my radar.

As a former high-school teacher, and because of my experience working with kids with terminal and chronic illnesses, which sometimes lead to other differences, I am particularly sensitive when it comes to the use of the "R-word."So, of course, when I stumbled upon this site and it's mission, I fell in love and hopped right on board.
Please check it out. It's message matters to a lot of us.

Ella is obsessed with her very own little red wagon, which means I am obsessed with her very own little red wagon.
Forget our former love, the jogging stroller.She likes to cruise the neighborhood in this wagon like a big girl.
I cannot believe how she just sits there and rides around.
Honestly, this was an amazing Christmas present. Every kid needs a wagon.

I made this Crock-pot take on Chinese take-out for dinner yesterday. And I burned it.Who burns something in a Crock-pot?
This girl.
Still, I have to say, under the "over-done" taste, it seemed pretty good.
But, on a much more successful note, I made these healthy no-bake cookies (with carob chips instead of chocolate) for a play-date, and I thought they were a rousing success. And they couldn't be easier.

I am so excited about this coming Monday. Thanks to the great feedback on Tuesday's post, Jess - an amazing and down-to-earth mama to four - and I are hosting a little link-up, where mom's (or, heck, anyone) can get real and, well, messy.It's going to be awesome. So get ready (to link-up!)

Happy Friday, everyone! Have a great weekend!

LOL I think I would totally be the girl to burn something in a crockpot. I have one but to this day I've never used it. Fortunately my husband is the cook, I just bake!!!
Happy Friday!!!
So excited about your link up! I posted my pics yesterday but will def come back and join in the fun!
OMG< she is SOOO cute in that wagon. Ella is getting so big!! I vote for Ella pics in every post :)
Oh the "R" word...I have to use it at my job weekly - when assessing 18 month - adults. It's tough. We have been told that we can use "intellectual disability" but it's not in the DSM-IV TR as of this hot minute...so? I have to put it on reports and say it to parents. Being a parent now, I cringe and hold back tears. It's so hard. Can't wait until it's changed so I don't have to say it anymore...
I'm so relieved that I'm not the only one to burn something in a crockpot! I love that thing, but there is certainly a learning curve :)
Also -- Miss Ella is such a cutie!
She looks so cute and like such a big girl in her wagon.
The dude loves his wagon or "cart" as he calls it too! She is such a doll btw!
Not read the post yet, but LOVED the picture of Ella. She is the cutest beauty I have seen!! And she is growing up so fast!!! Lots of love and hugs to her.
*will come back to read the post :)
