January 27, 2020 By jillemccandless 3 Comments

First of all, I am by no means a skin care/makeup expert. Not even close. But I have tried several different products, and have found my own personal favorites. And I thought I would share them, just in case they work for you too. And because for some reason I love reading about other people’s Read More

Friday Favorites

Favorite picture: As usual, Tessa was wearing her Elsa gear around the house. It was so calm and peaceful outside that I decided to take her picture. When Grace came home and saw the picture, she wanted one too. These two have such a love/hate relationship, but they really are starting to become the best Read More

I didn’t have any huge plans for my birthday this year- just a chill day with my people. But then at 10:30 Sunday night as Ben and I were watching a show, there was a loud knock on our front door. Our door is all glass- and I didn’t even want to turn around to Read More

Grace’s 1st Dance

January 20, 2020 By jillemccandless 1 Comment

Grace has always been our little performer at home. She’s constantly dressing up and putting on shows, or singing and dancing in her room. Doing things in front of an ACTUAL audience, however, was never her strong suit. But this year she decided she wanted to be in dance with her friends. And she absolutely Read More

I’m sure you’ve heard about people choosing a “focus word” for the year. I love this idea of choosing something to set your mind on for the coming year, to work at in different areas of your life. My focus word for 2020 is “mindful”. Some areas in my life where I would like to Read More

NYE

We spent NYE at our favorite spot: 400 Beach Seafood & Tap house in St. Petersburg. We dine outside, right across from a park that is filled with lights and live music. They light off fireworks at 8:00, and we are able to watch right from our table. After dinner, we walked over to the park Read More

Florida 2019

January 14, 2020 By jillemccandless No Comments

The past several years during Christmas, the Florida sunshine has beat down on us and covered us in warm, 70+ temperatures. This was not the case this time around. This year the weather was all over the place: some days were downright chilly, some days the sun would tease us during the morning before completely Read More

Christmas Day

Last week, sickness decided to plague us yet again. Including me. 😑 Although truth be told, I’d much rather be sick than my kiddos-at least I’m guaranteed to make it to the bathroom on time. So here’s hoping this week is much healthier around these parts. Now back to our Florida recap…Claire and Max were up Read More
