Super Fast Shower Routine

When I’m in a hurry, which seems to be often, there’s just no time for a leisurely shower.  This is my speedy morning shower routine.

If I have to shower in the morning, I like to try and be done before my little one is awake. This can be challenging, since she is such an early riser.

I quickly scrub my face. If you want to know what products I use, check out my skin care routine. Then I wash my hair and apply conditioner. While that sets, I scub down and rinse off. I try to save any shaving for at night, when I have more time.

Like I said, quick and painless. Just in time to get my kiddo out of bed. Have a good morning everybody!

Evening Routine

A few weeks ago I told you about my morning routine. So, I decided that this week I would tell you about my evening routine.

I come home from work and put away my bags. Next, I remove all of my jewelry. This is just my ritual. I follow up with getting some time in with my daughter. Sometimes this can be difficult since she is quite the daddy’s girl.

My husband and I take turns cooking. If it’s my turn, I hop to it. I get out of work kind of late, so I need to get dinner done fast. If it’s not my turn, I straighten up the house and play with my little girl.

After dinner, it’s bath time! We play for a little while longer, then off to bed.

I relax for a bit. Then, I start my skin care ritual. Follow up with a shower or soak, and get ready for bed.

Before I completely go comatose, I run the dishwasher if needed and do something about the laundry.

BEDTIME, and goodnight!!

An Evening At....

This is a nice little restaurant in a college town where most people get around on foot.  I was surprised that this restaurant actually had a parking lot!  I will take that over parking on the side of the road any day.  The outside was pretty plain, other than the nicely decorated door. It didn’t stand out much, and it was a little hard to find.  But, we are glad we did.

The inside was nicely decorated and the staff was very accommodating.  I only wish they had baby changing stations.  That would make it even more family friendly.

My daughter and I shared the grilled veggie melt.  This is the description as per the menu:

Grilled Veggie Melt: sauteed portabella mushrooms, farmer’s cheese, spinach, caramelized onions, roasted tomato, garlic aioli on multi grain, side sweet potato fries $9

A lot of things on the menu are quite pricey, but this $9 meal was not too shabby.  Their sweet potato fries were the perfect amount of sweet and salty.  That is what really drew me to the meal.  I love sweet potato fries!  The sandwich was very good as well.  The bread was not too greasy, the cheese was delicious, and the ingredients were fresh.

All in all, it was a pleasant experience.  I would go back, and also recommend others give them a try.

Keep Smiling!

Order and Chaos is AWESOME!!!

I found this application shortly after my daughter was born in 2014. Before finding this app, I was a bit sad. I will tell you why. In short, we were cutting unnecessary expenses with the anticipation of our newly found childcare fees. I once avidly played World of Warcraft. Then, it became an unnecessary expense. I was sad.

And, like some kind of voodoo, Order and Chaos appeared on my play store. I downloaded it. Then I was amazed and excited.  I was wondering “how can they have this for free?”

This app is actually very similar to World of Warcraft. Except it’s free! No monthly fee. They do offer some in-app purchases. Although these are not necessarily needed to play. Some of the premium products can also be won in the lottery.

The game can be a bit glitchy at times. However this is absolutely, hands down the BEST game I have on my phone AND tablet. This game rocks! I am so happy to tell you about it! If you play, let me know how you like it down below.
