Welcome to the next outfit in my Work From Home Wardrobe Series where I display the cute outfits I’m wearing while working from home during the coronavirus pandemic.

Confession: I wore this yesterday (and all of my posts thus far have been a day behind) but I was feeling *cute*! I actually washed and styled my hair for real. Usually I just use a lot of dry shampoo & texturizing spray and run a curling iron through it really quickly but yesterday I went all in. I even did a full face of make up. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping, and it was a beautiful spring day so I figured why the hell not? Also, I had several video meetings and was tired of seeing a slobby version of myself on the camera. So, I wore a simple striped button-up from Old Navy that I tied at the bottom, which is an easy way to freshen up a button down. I rarely wear shoes when I’m at home but I’m realizing it’s about time to freshen up that at-home pedicure!

On a separate note, Happy birthday to my little dude, Sebastian! I can’t believe my sweet baby boy is now a threenager. He’s still a sweet little thing but he’s definitely got a lot of sass and attitude underneath all that sweetness. He’s becoming a handful, especially now that we’re all stuck at home all the time. We’re trying to find more fun things to do outside but he yearns to go to the playground and the museum and to do all the things he used to do.  His few little lawn toys just aren’t cutting it. Anyway, be on the look out for me to share my birth story and some updates from his birthday. Happy birthday to my little dude!

Welcome to the next outfit in my Work From Home Wardrobe Series where I display the cute outfits I’m wearing while working from home during the coronavirus pandemic.

Today’s outfit is more comfort than style and is brought to you by the need for more coffee! I didn’t sleep well last night, and this morning Nick tried to be very sweet by setting the delay brew on the coffee pot last night so it would be ready for us first thing but forgot that the timer wasn’t set so it actually brewed my coffee at midnight instead of 6 am! By the time we got up, the coffee was cold and old. I tried reheating it in the microwave but I LOATHE reheated coffee (because it always tastes burnt to me) so I just couldn’t do it. I had to make a fresh pot.

Hi, everybody!

As I mentioned in my last post, I’m starting this new series called Work from Home Wardrobe (WFHW) to display the outfits I’m wearing while I try to get some work done at my house during the coronavirus pandemic stay-at-home orders while trying to take care of a three year old. My intention is for this to be a fun, but it’s also because I’ve discovered that I am *much* more productive if I get up and go through the usual motions each morning: style my hair, put on a little bit of make up, and get dressed. So, let’s kick this series off, shall we?!

Hi, dear readers!

I hope you all are doing well in these uncertain and trying times of dealing with the Covid-19 (coronavirus) pandemic.

Both Nick and I have been working from home for the past two weeks and we’ve pulled Sebastian from daycare. As a public health professional, practicing social distancing to flatten the curve is very important to me so we’re doing all we can to be a part of the solution instead of the problem. We’re only going out to grab groceries and even then, Nick goes by himself. I make him take disinfecting wipes with him to use when he touches anything and then when he gets home he washes his hands very well.

Last year I created and failed pretty miserably at a 19 in 2019: A list of 19 things to do in the year 2019. Since I only did a few of them – far less than I ever imagined – I’d like to pick it up again this year and try to complete some of those things I had wanted to do then. The things I did accomplish this past year were: attend a wine tasting, put down new floors, paint and renovate the laundry room, and bake a fancy cake. That’s 4 out of 19; I told you I failed miserably. For this year, I’ll include the ones I didn’t do plus 6 more and they can serve as my New Year’s resolutions.

So, in no particular order, here are my 20 things to do in 2020:
