Weekend Recap
Friday Favorites
Favorite picture: Oh winter, even though sometimes I get sick of you, I would actually really miss your beauty if you weren’t around. Favorite kid quote: Grace, as I was cutting onions in the kitchen: “I don’t really like when my eyes sweat. They even sweat when I’m not cutting onions. Sometimes when I see Read More
House Tour: The “Office”
This space serves as our office/craft/toy/electronic area. Grace probably spends the most time in here, as she is constantly coloring and creating. But it’s a nice spot to keep toys for Tessa during the day so she doesn’t need to be in the basement by herself. And she happily plays while I get some computer Read More
Valentine’s Day Ideas
I love that it doesn’t take much to make kids happy and excited. My kids look forward to each and every little holiday, and I enjoy doing special things for them on those days. For Valentine’s Day, I always have a little surprise for them when they wake up.It’s nothing much- just some festive balloons Read More
Life Lately
A few things that we’ve been up to lately…visiting with Ben’s 94 year old Grandma, who loves to just sit and watch the kids and their crazy energy (i.e., Tessa and Grace bouncing like monkeys on her sofa🤦🏽♀️). Tessa entertaining everyone at the doctor’s office with her ski goggles. And don’t be fooled, she was Read More

Favorite clothing item: Max Read More
Snow Days
Last week it snowed almost every day. Not heavy amounts, just gently falling from the sky all the time, making everything pretty. I absolutely love watching the kids play outside in the snow. They make forts/snowmen/snow angels/snow balls, they spray paint the snow, they sled, and they even get to ride on the big tube Read More
What’s Up Wednesday
What we’re eating this week: M-Chicken pot pie, T-Tacos, W-Cheesesteaks, Th-Chicken burrito bowls, F-Breakfast, S-Pizza What I’m reminiscing about: Having these two at my house last week. It was the best and I want them to come back. What I’m loving: My new Lifeplanner. I forgot to order it before Christmas, and I didn’t have Read More
Valentine’s Decor
My house is in a weird stage right now. I took down my Christmas decorations and dusted, and then didn’t get around to doing any further decorating. I actually kind of enjoy having plain, simple, uncluttered surfaces for a little while after Christmas. Wait, who am I kidding? My kids manage to clutter every surface Read More
