Happy New Year Friends!!! 2020 feels like a nice clean slate doesn’t it…? The 2010s had a lot of exciting times and lots of low times which were pretty life-changing. From the twins being born, to how I handled situations, to our family leaving the dairy business (this cut us all deep & still working through it). But in these last two years, I’ve learned so much about myself, what I’m capable of and what truly matters. I’m growing &…
Hey Friends, How was your Christmas! I can’t believe it’s already over? I know for many of us, it feels like we prep and prepare and December just flies right by! This year we weren’t able to be with family for the holidays due to Jarret working for a new company and not earning enough vacation til this coming year, but next year we are going to make it happen! As my kids are getting older, it’s important to me…
The girls have been waiting soooo long to go to Build A Bear Workshop! I’ve been telling them since summer that after Thanksgiving we will take you to Build A Bear. I wanted it to be something special, something that kicked off the Christmas season. Also, Build A Bear is not cheap by any means, it’s a special occasion kind of place in my opinion! But I think the whole process is fun for the girls and I like that…
Hi Friends, today I’m sharing my Holiday Gift Guide! I originally wasn’t going to post my Gift Guide until November 1st but I couldn’t wait any longer and decided to share it on my Instagram stories last night. I always have ideas of what I’m going to get the kids early in October for Christmas, then it’s just a matter of ordering them online or going to the store to buy them. The three main places I purchase my Christmas…
Hey y’all…I’m still here, ha-ha! We’ve been living in the frozen tundra called Missouri. ⛄ It has been sooooo cold here lately, like -14℉ one morning and consecutive mornings in the single digits!!! Since we get our internet thru satellite, I’m pretty sure our dish was frozen because today is the first day we’ve had a strong wifi signal. December as a whole was pretty good to us, besides the temps, we ate a lot of yummy food, spent a…
Hey y’all! This morning we did our annual drop off the Santa letters at the special mailbox inside our local Post Office. The kids look forward to this little tradition every year and I also included last year’s picture to show you how much the kiddos have grown. Every year it is always so cold outside that we jump out of the warm car, run up the ramp, drop the letter in the box, take the picture and then run…
Hey y’all! This past week we celebrated Halloween and our Halloween was quite chilly here in the Midwest. We all ended up needing to wear our big jackets and we got done right before it started to rain! Bryce was Ninjago (Lego Ninja), Naomi was Elena of Avalor and Maddie was Rainbow Dash from My Little Pony! Sunday before Halloween we carved our pumpkins… Jarret and I both helped the girls with their designs and helped them with the carving.…
