On Christmas Eve-Eve, we headed to a Japanese steakhouse before checking out some Christmas lights. Apparently the chef’s fire was a little bright. After our entertaining meal, we headed to to see the Enchant Christmas lights at Tropicana field in St Petersburg. But first, face paint. With their scratch off papers in hand, we Read More
Pre-Christmas Festivities
End of A Decade
Well hey there! I hope you had a wonderful holiday season. I’m pretty sure it’s going to take me another entire decade to get my life back in order again after the holidays and traveling. With two sick kids. Again. FOR REAL. There’s snot and tissues all over the place. Anyway…. It’s hard to Read More
Florida Bound
We are heading to Florida today! Kids are ready, hubs is ready, and Momma is VERY ready to be doing this…..except with kids running around. So maybe not quite as peaceful as this picture. 😉 But whatever, it’s the beach. Have a great weekend-before-Christmas!🎄
Christmas Parties
We hosted three parties this season: one adult party, one teen/young adult party, and one little favorite things party. It was definitely a busy week, but I loved each and every event. Both the adult party and the teen parties started with dinner, and then moved on to competitive games. Because nothings says “Christmas cheer” Read More
What’s Up Wednesday
A lot has been happening around here lately and I feel like I’ve been desperately trying to soak it all in before the season is over. Anyone else wish Christmas was at the end of January?? I would really love to enjoy all the smells, sounds, and sights of Christmas for at least another month. Read More
Thanksgiving {Part 2}
Our Thanksgiving is definitely more of a Thanksmas. We participated in lots of festive events while we were all together. Things like our annual cousins pollyanna…complete with Christmas pj’s and chocolate advent calendars. Which was followed by a hilarious yankee swap after the kids were all in bed. There was also some cookie ornament making Read More
Thanksgiving {Part 1}
Yes, I realize that Thanksgiving was over two weeks away. Honestly, life has been absolute craziness the past two weeks with several parties, concerts, dances, programs, and everything in between. It’s been a lot of fun, but also very busy. This week is a bit of a breather as we prepare to leave for Florida Read More
Grace is 6
Since Grace’s birthday was so close to our time in NJ, we decided to celebrate a few days early with her cousins. Her favorite store on the Ocean City boardwalk is called Bad Kitty, and it’s a little girl’s wonderland. Grace also decided that it was a perfect opportunity to wear her new kitty mask. Read More
Trimming the Trees
I see so many perfectly decorated trees on Instagram and Pinterest, and they are absolutely beautiful. Our tree is not one of those. 😂 And I am 100% ok with that. These kiddos love decorating our tree in their own way, and right now that is more precious to me than having a gorgeous, IG Read More
