Let’s play catch up and take this recap back to last Tuesday. We worked on our Valentine’s. Can I just say Sharpie pens and children absolutely terrify me?! I explained to Eliza to be careful with the Sharpie next to her Matilda Jane dress, her face, my face, the chair, the table… She did her…
Somehow it’s already Wednesday. Wow – what a week and weekend we’ve had over here. As of today we’re on day nine of snow days. My brain is a little fried at the moment, but I’ll try my best on recapping our life happenings from the last week or so. I’ll take it back to…
Nesting. I’m nesting. Nesting sure does make one do crazy things; clean out every. single. cabinet, get rid of all the toys, work on a nursery, organize the closets, use a toothpick to clean kitchen cabinets, scrub grout with a toothbrush, clean all the baseboards, paint the entire house… Yup, you read that last one…
Since becoming a Mama I tend to really go for it on most holidays. Sure, sure…the kids enjoy all the festivities, but if I’m being honest, making the most out of every holiday is driven by my own selfishness. LOL! I love looking back at the kids sporting cute outfits, I love seeing their little…
WooHoo! We’re officially weekending it up! Although, with the kids only going to school two times since January 18th (due to weather) it sure has felt like one giant weekend. The best thing about the weekend, Jon is home! Being stuck inside due to outrageously frigid temps made for one tired Mama and by this…
We’re going on day number four of no school for the week. Henry and Eliza have only been to school one time since January 18th! Wowza! It’s so cold we can’t go anywhere and the kids can’t play outside. Everything is closed…even the coffee shops! So, in an attempt to grasp on to any sort…
At the moment I’m 33 weeks pregnant and while I’ve been purging and organizing our entire home, this new baby’s nursery is in some serious need of some love. As of right now we have a crib set up and there’s a rocking chair in the nursery. This baby will be in our bedroom for…
Our weekend began on Thursday with a trip to Chicago. The kids didn’t have school on Monday (MLK Day and professional development day), nor did they have school on Wednesday (snow day). I was a little concerned about all the days they’d be missing, but school was again canceled on Thursday due to icy back…
Simplify and Maintain. These are my words for 2019. I figured they can be used for all aspects of life; child-rearing, the household, my planner, this blog, my brain (haha)… Less is more…less is more. Less things, less stuff, less on the calendar, less to saying yes, less stress, less pressure. I’m not sure if…
It’s Tuesday! Although, it most definitely feels like Monday. Our weekend was filled with lots of snow, more nesting/purging/organizing, a few naps and some homebody down time. Before I share our weekend, who out there has seen the 10 year challenge thingy over on Facebook? This one spoke to me… “I need six eggs!” Who’s…
