The kids had off on Friday due to an inservice, so we decided to head somewhere fun for the day. Enter: the Mall of America. Of course everything is different with Covid, and only half the rides are open right now (really not sure why, but whatevs), but there were also hardly any people. The Read More

Weekend Recap
We had a fun-filled weekend that ended with a perfectly cozy, snowy afternoon. The kids didn’t have school on Friday, so we took a little day trip to the Mall of America (more on that tomorrow). Saturday morning was a winter wonderland- the branches of the trees were all covered in snow and it looked Read More
Friday Favorites
All this week I’ve been thinking about and praying for the people in Texas. What an awful situation. I’m actually pretty sure we’re still in 2020…it’s like, December 80th or something. Iowa was crazy cold this week, but thankfully it was pretty uneventful. Favorite picture: I love this picture of my boys relaxing. With Johnny Read More
Valentine’s Day Weekend

Favorite kid quote: Grace: “When I’m old I’ll probably eat lots of pie and cake at home in my bed.” #goals Favorite Read More

Mini Waffle Magic
I’m sure you’ve seen these adorable little waffle makers pop up in stores- especially around the holidays. They have the traditional round waffles, but during the holidays you see gingerbread men, snowflakes, pumpkins, hearts, etc. I always thought they were so cute, but didn’t want another appliance, even a small, $10 one. But then I Read More
Life Lately
Before our temperatures dropped into the negatives, we enjoyed a lot of outdoor time. Remember these cute little kittens? They’re still here. Their little house (which they absolutely love) is usually on our deck with a heated bed inside it to keep them warm. We did move it into the garage temporarily with the negative Read More
