In full transparency, I wanted to make quesadilla uncrustables, but bought the wrong kind of tortilla. If you want to make those definitely get flour tortillas not corn. 

These are easy to make though, just use a heart shaped cookie cutter to cut your tortillas, then fill and grill on the stove!

Mom-and-Baby Halloween Costume Idea: Oscar the Grouch and Sanitation Engineer

I LOVE today’s costume. I was a big Sesame Street fan growing up. Actually, if I’m being honest, I am a big Sesame Street fan as an adult too! I knew we had to do at least one Sesame Street costume during our 2022 mom-and-baby Halloween costumes. So today I’m sharing all the details of this Oscar the Grouch mom-and-baby Halloween Costume.

This costume is particularly special because my beloved aunt made Ben’s beanie! She gave it to him for Christmas last year and I just think it is the cutest thing ever! She is so talented, and I’m so happy the cooler temps are coming so he can wear it all the time.

I found these cute jammies to match his beanie. We were getting rid of this trash can because Ben can open it. He has decided everything in our house is trash and loves to throw things away. So we recently purchased a new trashcan that he can’t open. This one is a little more costume friendly, so before we completely got rid of this one, I wiped it down, put a box in the bottom and plopped Ben in it.

My costume is so easy. I just purchased a reflective vest and borrowed Stephen’s safety glasses from his workbench. I was originally pulling out my onion-cutting goggles and Stephen stopped me and said, “you know I have actual ones, right?” So I borrowed his real ones, but the onion-cutting goggles are one of my favorite purchases of all time.

I love this cutie, easy Halloween costume. Now I will be singing “I love trash” all day.

My baby is finally feeling better, thank goodness! My baby is finally feeling better, thank goodness! I'm going to be honest, I am exhausted. The emotional toll this week has taken on me has just made me a new level of tired. 

I saw something the other day and it really stuck with me. 

Nobody talks about this when you are thinking about having kids. They talk about the financial piece and the how it's going to change your life piece. But nobody talks about the risk you take by having something you love so much and all the worry that comes with it. 

It's a risk every day to have your whole heart walking around, and going to school and picking up illnesses. There is so much worry and stress that comes with it.

But on the other hand, what a privilege it is to have something you love that much. I have never loved anything the way I love this little boy.

While sometimes the emotions, intrusive thoughts, worry and stress get the best of me, I am grateful every second of every day that I get to be this perfect, beautiful tiny human's mom.

Thanks for all the sweet messages of encouragement this week. It's so nice to know I'm not alone. I'm very grateful for all of you!
