Nanny Life

It's finished, the hard year of school filled with exams, nursing skills and clinicals. Now...

IT'S SUMMER!
and with it, the summer jobs that keep me busy day-to-day.

I am lucky, well um... understatement of the year. I am EXTREMELY lucky to have the opportunity  to nanny some of the greatest girls in the world! Who also happen to be my cousins :)

We have an absolute blast together, and it is always a mini adventure as we make our way through all of the summer activities in Minnesota.

We'll call them G and C.
C is the oldest. G is the youngest.
ages: 12 and 11.

Every day begins at about 7:30 am for me.... arriving in the city at about 8:30 depending on the amount of drivers who have dragged themselves out of bed for the morning rush-hour drive to work.

When i arrive, we eat
*another perk of nannying... delicious food you do not have to purchase yourself... college kids, you know how rare this is....

During breakfast, usually consisting of my favorite gluten-free rice krispies, a steaming hot cup of coffee, and juice. We discuss what shenanigans we will get into that day... should we set off firecrackers in the neighbor's yard or trespass in fountains all over town... ok, so we are really not that bad, but some days we come up with some pretty fun stuff, and some days we sit around trying to decide when we should get off our chairs and start the day...

Our first day consisted off.... RAIN
well darn
So we jumped to our rainy day list.... and BINGO
Crafts and baking, a girl's best friend.

After watching a couple episodes of Full House.. one of the best shows in existence and one I have gotten G hooked on like no other, we got our butt's into gear and got going on our day.

We high tailed it over to Michael's Craft store and tried to restrain ourselves with a spending limit as we browsed the infinite possibilities of crafts and home projects.

We then scooted over to Kowalski's picking up a couple gluten free baking supplies.

So we crafted, baked, watched, and ate.  Making our first day of summer a success.

Stay tuned for more stories from our summer shenanigans as we embrace the rain and sunshine, one day at a time.

Happy Living!
