Happy Wednesday you guys! Who’s ready for a What’s Up Wednesday blog post hosted by Shay, Mel and Sheaffer?! Let’s get to it! What we’re eating this week… Well since I just went grocery shopping this morning here’s what’s on the menu: Wednesday (Tonight): Chicken and Hummus with a Fattoush Salad Thursday: Chili (One Meat…
Happy Friday, you guys! Somehow this week flew by over here. I was dreading having to actually leave the house, but, honestly, it wasn’t so bad. The kids were happy to get out of the house and back to school and Mama didn’t mind having a few hours to herself. As for today, we have…
Being that it’s January and it’s colder than cold outside I thought it’d be fun to share some of my winter warmth essentials with all of you. First up, these boots. Santa actually had purchased me a different pair of Sorel boots for Christmas, but they were a tad too big, so I knew that…
Happy New Year! It’s 2018 and I suspect I’ll continue to write 2017 for the next month or so! Well, that is if my extremities ever thaw out. You guys, it’s been cold…no freezing…wait, no – worse than freezing…it’s bitter, it’s glacial…it’s hypothermic. Any and all synonyms to describe freezing but actually sound much, much…
What a fun and memorable Christmas we had over here! Lots of laughs, lots of food, fun gifts and of course, several “dad” jokes. It was everything Christmas should be! But, let me tell you, it sure wouldn’t be Christmas without one of my most favorite memories popping up over on Facebook. My heart is…
You guys, you guys – Christmas is 12 days away! Woo-Hoo! I’m a bit more prepared this year than I have been in years prior and oh-my-gosh I’m so excited! It continues to get dark out earlier, twinkling lights are all around, Christmas songs are being played, there’s excitement in the air and the humming…
Happy Monday and happy three weeks until Christmas! Gah! I’m so excited and this past weekend’s activities added to all the seasonal fun! Our weekend started off like this…. We’ve been having gorgeous sunrises, sunsets and a few calm evenings here and there. Last Friday the lake was crazy calm. Jon and I joked about…
Phew. Happy Thursday and five pounds heavier, to ya’! No? Am I the only one still trying to work off all that scrumptious Thanksgiving food whilst pinning cinnamon bun recipes on Pinterest? Gah. I need elastic pants… Let’s get to the recap to distract me from eating again. The Wednesday leading up to Marie’s-all-she-can-eat-Thanksgiving-weekend started off…
It’s that time of year again; the long awaited arrival of our Elf on the Shelf, Elmer. If memory serves me right, then I do believe he’ll be arriving the day after Thanksgiving. I’m sure that little elf of ours will be up to his mischievous ways in no time! Before Elmer comes a knockin’…err…..
Happy almost week after Halloween. I wanted to swing by today and share a photo dump of all our Halloween fun! Let me tell ya’, the weekend before Halloween was a whirlwind of all things family, fun, jack-o-lanterns, candy, and doughnuts! I volunteered in Henry’s classroom to help carve a pumpkin. I wasn’t assigned…
