February flew by and now we're into March and I can't believe it! Hopefully, it means we'll be seeing Spring weather soon here in the NorthEast. As much as I LOVE snow it means we're limited to indoor activities, which can make everyone a little stir crazy. Especially my 2.5-year-old! 😊
I'm back today with the usual Thoughts on Thursday post where I share a little bit about the random thoughts I've had throughout the week. My mind is always racing thinking and getting all of those thoughts out on paper {hypothetically speaking} is the best way for me to make room for new ones! I won't be sharing anything too earth-shattering or even enlightening, just a little of this and that.
I hope you join me in sharing a bit of your own randomness in the comments below.
1. I am really hoping the portable bottle warmer I purchased earlier this week is a game changer for us. I am exclusively pumping milk for my 3-month-old due to latch issues {more on that another day}, so anytime we go anywhere we bring a bottle with cold milk as a back-up. If we know we're going somewhere we time it around a feeding and leave immediately after he's finished, but that doesn't always work. Sometimes he gets hungry in the car if we've been out for too long. So, enter the solution: a travel bottle warmer.
2. I finally purchased a beauty blender sponge. Pretty sure I'm the last person on earth to purchase one, but the foundation brush I had been using worked perfectly fine so I saw no rush to switch. I'm not sure if I notice a difference in my makeup application or not. The jury is still out on this one...
3. Why is it more appealing to complete weekly "intentions" as opposed to weekly "goals?" Hubby and I started jotting down our intentions for the week and somehow they don't seem so stressful/daunting when I refer to them as intentions. In case you are wondering we set intentions for these different areas of our life: Health/Wellness, personal, household, and family.

4. Go Kansas Jayhawks! We are avid fans in this household. March Madness is always a fun time around here!
5. To move or not to move? That is the question we are thinking about right now as we approach house selling/buying "season." Our house is a bit on the small side, with a less than stellar layout. We can either re-do the basement and possibly put on an addition, or move. Such a difficult decision!
6. Dairy Queen is open around these parts! Not sure if you have one near you or not, but they make the BEST oreo cookie blizzard ever!
7. I'm anxious to start my spring cleaning. Anyone else?
I found these Spring cleaning guides on Pinterest to help me.
I love the simplicity of this checklist I found on inspirationformoms.porch.com. The tasks are easy to accomplish, too, and the list is comprehensive, but not unrealistic.
I also like this 28-day challenge from Simple Green. Some of the items listed I already do on a weekly basis, but overall the tasks listed are a great start to a freshly cleaned house!
This next checklist is from simplystacie.net and it is extremely comprehensive! I love that it is printable.
8. Cleaning out the microwave is such a pain, but I discovered a new trick! Use a paper towel and wipe down the inside after steaming veggies! My usual way to clean it is by microwaving a bowl of water for about 5 minutes to loosen up all of the residues, then wiping it down with a cloth or paper towel. My new solution kills two birds with one stone: veggies for dinner. CHECK! clean microwave. CHECK!
9. Baby gear has taken over every inch of our house. Seriously!
10. Peep Oreos? I am curious to try these. Anyone else?!?
That's all for now!
Happy Matching!
