This morning my daughter (15 months) woke up at 5:00 a.m. (on a Sunday!). To make matters worse, the high temperature for the day was roughly eight degrees and there is two feet of snow on the ground - another long day trapped inside, ugh, not so #sundayfunday
I wallowed in my own self-pity for a few minutes and the scrambled for some activities to keep us busy for the day. Since it was much too cold to go outside, I thought, why not bring the snow inside?! I wish I could have taken a picture of my husband's face when I asked him to take a plastic bin outside, fill it with snow, and bring it back in. I filled some ramekins with water and plant based food coloring then handed my daughter some medicine droppers and let her "paint" the snow. She loved it and it kept her occupied for much longer than I thought it would #momwin
And you know what, that little girl was so tuckered out from all our fun (and her early rising) she took two naps -giving me much more extra-time than I normally have before starting the workweek all over again #doublemomwin Sometimes situations that seem unmanageable, turn out to be blessings. Wishing you all an amazing week and some extra mom-wins.
