Exhausted and inspired. That’s how I’m feeling right now.
Zephaniah (8) had a dentist appointment today. He did great! No tears. The dentist was finished in about 30 minutes.

The kids are really thriving with the new dentist office we switched to (in December). I think it’s because this practice is calmer and quieter.
They don’t feel anxious and overwhelmed at the new dentist like they did at the other dental office we used to go to.
And honestly—same! 💯😂
After the dentist and a cozy lunch at home, we went to the library to checkout new books. I also let the kids play for a while. Whenever we go to the library, we stay for at least two hours.

I spent over two hours (maybe three? 😆) researching and finding the books we need for homeschooling in February and March.
I can’t wait to dive into these new library checkouts! I’m a total geek when it comes to getting new books and materials for our homeschool. 🤓📚😂
But even though I’m excited for the new books we collected, this mama is pooped! 💩😴
We ended up getting home around 7 p.m. (the library closes at 8! Lol) and eating dinner late. It was worth it because today was a happy, productive day! 💯😊📚
Time for bed! 😴
💜XO
P.S.— Here are a few moments from today.
