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…
Today’s the day I finally share our Master Bathroom Makeover!!! WooHoo! This bathroom, you guys, this bathroom… We’ve been wanting to have work done to this bathroom since we first moved in, but since it was hidden away from the rest of the house it sat on the back burner since 2007. We painted the…
Happy Monday, friends! Today I’m linking up with Lindsay, Heather, Johannah and Tanya for Hello Monday! Our weekend was pretty low-key, so this post isn’t going to be very long… I’ll start off by showing you my fake eyelashes. LOL! My neighbor took some maternity pictures of me on Thursday and I opted to hide my dark circles by caking…
We made it to Fri-yay! Was that a long week for anyone else? It was our first week back since before Christmas and I was NOT ready to trade in my pajamas and slow mornings for jam-packed schedules and rushed mornings. I told Jon on Sunday that I felt like we were driving away from…
