This morning, I whipped up some delightful gluten-free, nut-free agave oatmeal cookies for Liam’s homeschooling group. I only allow my child to consume wholesome, homemade foods made from ethically sourced ingredients; I also have strong opinions about the effects of sugar on behavior.
I adapted the recipe from a culinary workshop I attended with a famous chef in Paris, where I treated myself for my birthday last year. While you might stick to the basics, I thrive on improvisation in the kitchen, viewing cooking as an art form rather than a chore.
Meanwhile, my partner, Marco, took the electric car to a meeting. We are mindful of our carbon footprint, and let’s be honest, your choice of vehicle is detrimental to the planet’s future. I decided to bike Liam to the public library. I make exercise a fun family affair, which is why we’re all so healthy, while you seem to prefer the couch. Plus, we love borrowing books instead of buying them!
At the library, I conducted a workshop with children experiencing homelessness, helping them express their stories through writing. It’s crucial to give back, and I’m proud of my contributions—what are you doing to help? Homelessness affects us all, and we need to open our eyes to the issues in our communities.
I was delighted to see the donated computer desks I orchestrated for the library already in use. I advocate for reusing and recycling, and my efforts show my commitment to our planet. Even though I limit screen time for my kids, I believe in access for everyone.
On the way home, I enjoyed some tunes by Tauk. Bet you had to look that up! When we returned, Nora and her friends had just wrapped up their mother-daughter book club meeting. Fostering a love for reading is paramount, and our book club tackles important subjects like feminism and social justice.
The girls even built prototypes of affordable housing for the homeless using recycled cardboard. Did I mention how passionate I am about homelessness? We had an unexpected hiccup when they ran out of twine, prompting me to use it as a teaching moment about limits. I’m all about setting boundaries; I want my kids to understand the value of patience.
Afterward, I took care of our rescue pup, Bella. Adopting is the only way to go; supporting puppy mills is not an option. In a moment of reflection, I thought of my friend, Marisol, who passed away last year after a brave battle with cancer. It’s important to surround yourself with inspiring people; that’s how we all grow.
Just when I was feeling a bit down, Marco returned home and helped tidy up the chaos and even gave me a massage with essential oils. #blessed #grateful My relationship is thriving, unlike some others that I could mention. Can you top this day?
