Playing Hookie and touching a museum

As a working mom, I often feel guilty for not spending enough time with my child.  So once in a while I would take a day off and just spend some time with him.
Today I did just that,  One of my best friend (we go way back.. like 3rd grade back) told me yesterday she wanted to take her kids to please touch museum, So i decided to take the day off and tag along. 

I LOVE the please touch museum, Its just the cutest place. Jacob had such a great time with his friends, we saw a puppet show, did story time, interactive exhibits... and so much more.

Price of admission: Children and Adults: $15

If you are ever in Philadelphia, it's a must see.


Here are some pictures from their adventure.

This is Jacob on the stage at the puppet show... dancing his little heart out.

Must Have Items for the Office

My office is my 2nd home. I actually spend more time here than at my own home.

There are a few things I must have here at all times.

Aveeno baby lotion

I told ya I love the Aveeno baby lotion. I love the oatmeal, it keeps my skin nice and smooth. I love the lavender scent at home, I had to get a Fragrance free one for work. I have one of those co- workers with a sensitive nose.



Method Hand sanitizer

from target its the "sea minerals" kind. Not sure what that means but if gives off a nice clean scent, not over powering.



EOS Lip balm

in sweetmint

I love the sweet mint smell, its like gum and the packaging is super cute. I am a sucker for cute packaging's





















Up&Up brand Disinfecting Wipes

Germs Germs and MORE Germs! the office is full of germs!

I always wipe down my desk, keyboard, mouse and phone... once a day...





















Water

You can't live without it!






















I also have my emergency makeup bag, floss, toothbrush and paste, tylenol, bags of noodles, cans of soup, a whole bunch of lipgloss, bobby pins, hair ties and nail filer. If I ever get stuck in the office, I could survive a few days here with no problem.

Toddler winter skin care routine

So the weather here is not exactly cold yet. Its strangely warm here in east coast for the end of November (not that I am complaining), but the cold weather is right around the corner and my poor baby has dry skin. (He gets that from his Daddy)

So I made some changes to his skin care routine to keep him baby smooth all winter long.

Johnson's moisture care baby wash

I switch from the yellow Johnson baby wash to the pink moisture care baby wash.

I can definitely tell the difference. It really gives that extra little moisture.. and I prefer this scent.

Vaseline baby petroleum jelly

I used this for his diaper rashes. The baby ones are awesome, they have this nice soft baby powder scent.

Aveeno baby calming comfort

This is my favorite lotion.

I have been using this since last winter. It didn't really calming him down... but I love the nice lavender scent.

Weleda Calendula Face Cream

THE best face cream for the sensitive baby skin. For his little dry cheeks I love using this face cream. It heals any dryness over night. He loves rubbing in his cheeks himself.

Not a fan of the scent.

Side note: I thought I lost this last week, and had to re order. Of course as soon i re-ordered it I found it hidden in Jacob's toy chest. It all worked out because the price of this product is usually around 12 dollars and it is now on sale at amazon for 7 dollars. Now I will have one for his diaper bag.

Baby Aquaphor

I only use this for extremely dry skin, I do not like the greasiness of this, but I use a little dab of it on his chin where he gets drool rash.

With all these wonderful product, Jacob's skin will stay baby soft all winter long.

18 months

Jacob is all toddler now. He runs, climb stairs, TALKS BACK!

he can say so many words now; yes, no, no more, please, thank you, he knows what to call his grandparents, aunts and uncles.

Seems like he learns something new every day.

A few pictures from last month.
