Birthdays & Bug Season

Since coming back from Paris, things have been pretty full on in the Floor household. We’ve al taken turns being sick with one bug or another (#nocovid), and I don’t think we’ve had one decent night of sleep between the 20th of November and today. Oh, and our nanny quit. Because we’re horrible people. No kidding, she needed more time for her studies, which is fair, stay in school and all that. It’s been a lot of juggling care and work, and scrubbing barf out and off of things, and we’re all feeling a little worse for wear.

Despite all that, we managed to throw Jacob his first real kids’ party, we celebrated Saint Nicholas with the fam, and the house is looking somewhat festive for the upcoming holidays. I’ve been working away on a London zine, and feeling terribly nostalgic about our time there as I’m drawing our favorite London spots, but I don’t think that will be done before the end of the year as I keep adding more pages (and well, sick kids and no sleep). Either way, it’s a bit of a non-update, but perhaps you’re a parent like me just trying to keep it together during Bug Season, just know you’re not alone.

Hope you’re all holding up ok and life is slowing down for you a bit and you’ve some time to nest and reflect on your year. I’ll be back soon, hopefully with more sleep, less bugs, and a healthy level of mulled wine.
