That time when we sent an inappropriate group text to someone who has my brother-in-law’s old phone number. OOPS. That was fun, though.

HOME! Routine!!! Hard boiled eggs with the Instant Pot! 

My Everyday Life: Week 9 on Shutterbean.com

This week was a bit challenging for me.

I had Cooper at home with me ALL WEEK because of his really bad poison oak.

My week was thrown off and I was dealing with a bit of anxiety.

I didn’t have much time to myself which is hard for an introvert.

I wrote this to calm myself down.

It helped.

    Woah, those shoes!! Love them. I had to google Poison Oak as I’ve never heard of it (UK) and it sounds awful – hope he recovers quickly!

  • Lori

    I love those navy walls, the egg sizzling in oil, your pep-talk, and the sound of that hash. I’m getting brussels and potatoes tomorrow. I always need a change-up in the breakfast routine!

  • Sara

    That pep talk tho.

  • Kristin

    He’s got your mouth!

  • Danielle

    Those cats get me every time! So adorable! Glad everyone is feeling better and thanks for the pep talk. I needed it myself. I think we all do. Happy new week, Tracy! ♥

  • Ellen W

    Love the color of your SIL’s dining room and the picture of the kitty trying to steal your eggs. I enjoy your photo journal each week.

  • Jessica

    It’s so funny how small the world is sometimes…

    I am a Boise native, now living in the Monterey Bay area. I even went to Boise State, so your photos hit so close to home for me! It’s always fun to see my home through someone else’s fresh eyes. 🙂

  • jake

    Oh my goodness–please share your beef jerky making process. I’m sure that your kid is totally fine but if the poison ivy starts to get near the eyes you might want to go get him prednisone. The steroid knocks it out super quick and less scarring. My kid was a XC runner and came home with it constantly.

    • Tracy

      fortunately it wasn’t bad near the eyes! He’s so much better now but thanks for looking out for us!

  • Merry

    Did you tell how to make hard boiled eggs in the insta pot? Its so hard to find good recipes for it. I would really appreciate any you could post.

  • Paula

    I initially mis-read your note to yourself as “find the COUCH inside you”, and I kind of like the imagery of a tiny therapist’s couch in my brain for when I need it.

  • Kari

    I love the blue paint in your sister in laws dining room. So pretty!
