Cabin Fever

We've had a lot of cold weather and snow here in the midwest. Combine that with a newborn that sleeps more than she's awake, and you have a lovely recipe for cabin fever! I've had to get creative about entertaining Ethan.

Am I a bad mom for sending my kid out in the snow while I sit inside sipping a cup of coffee?? Ha ha ha...

Sometimes I'll suit up and join him. It's the closest thing to skiing or snowboarding I'm gonna get for quite a while. As I hear my footsteps crunching in the snow, I imagine I'm on the slopes, gearing up for a day of skiing. Oh, it's a nice little fantasy, isn't it? Then I wake up and realize I'm the flatlands of Central Illinois...
