It’s the little things

This may not seem like a big deal, but I took Ellie grocery shopping today. Some of you may be thinking, so what?

Well I haven’t taken her to the grocery store since I started cancer treatment in January 2020.

We used Instacart a lot during the pandemic, and even once I felt comfortable going in stores again, I barely had enough energy to shop, let alone bring one of the kids with me. I’ve started going by myself more and more as I get stronger and have more energy.

Today I wanted to pick up some things, and I asked Ellie if she wanted to go shopping with me. She said, “in the store?!” She’s only 3. It’s been a pandemic for two thirds of her life. So going shopping in the store as opposed to getting a pickup or delivery is pretty exciting. 😆

So we went shopping. Even used the fun shopping cart with the steering wheel so she could “drive.”

It’s the little things!
