Friday Favorites-Valentines Day Edition

It's Valentines Day tomorrow and I'm beyond excited.

Linking up with Andrea for a few of my Favorites!

My first FAVORITE is our yearly tradition of staying in and cooking. We started this 4 years ago and I just love it. We swap years cooking (it's my year this year!) and the other person who is not cooking gets to pick the meal. It's so fun.

Which leads me to my next FAVORITE of pulled pork. I love love love a good pulled pork sandwich and that is what Michael picked for our love day dinner. I make it in the crock pot and guys it's to die for. Maybe if I get myself together I will write it down ( I just kind of wing it!) and take pictures (hahah we will see)

My next FAVORITE is the dessert that goes with the dinner. Brownie Sundae's! We have these every year and oh my yum delicious! I make the Brownies (from a box) and then we get vanilla bean ice cream and peanut butter sauce and whip cream. Yum Yum Yum

Since we have had a Grayson spending the day with him is a big thing for us. Growing up Valentine's day was a family holiday and so I plan to keep it that way for our family. I'm going to run to the store and get him a fun donut and we got him a little board book for valentines day. Board books right now are his FAVORITE thing we read at least 4 or 5 a night (multiple times each!)

My last FAVORITE is the biggest and best one. Michael is off on Saturday which means we get a whole family day together. This does not happen very often to have a day off together with no plans but we have it and I'm going to soak it up. Plus since it is going to be -10 tomorrow we are staying home and snuggling!

Happy Friday everyone!

What's Up Wednesday

I love when there is prompted writing. About everything! Linking up with Mix and Match Mama ! What we are eating Chicken and lots of it. My husband makes the best chicken quesidilla's ever. He uses taco seasoning (homemade to avoid a ton of sodium) and whole wheat tortilla's. I love them we have them at least once a week! What I'm reminiscing about Our anniversary trip last year. It was so much fun just the two of us and I know we won't be doing it this year because our focus is paying off debt so it will be a date night. I love Cleveland and loved the Rock n Roll Hall of fame! What I'm loving Real Housewives of NYC. The B is back and I love her! What we've been up to Family time and organizing! I got my closet almost all cleaned out and Grayson's is pretty much done I just need to pick up a few more bins to pack away old clothes! Spring cleaning at it's finest! What I'm dreading Michael play...

A nice little sweet spot

The sweet spot…. We seem to have hit one. I feel like we have not been in a sweet spot since the twins were about 6 months old. You know before they were mobile and can get into a ton of mischief. When kids are 0-6 months they still like to be held they eat mostly bottles and they mostly just stay in one spot. No issues, you can go places and even though you have to pack up your whole house to be prepared you can relax. And if you are in my family someone is always willing to hold or feed or change a baby. 7-months to 2.5 years old is what I refer to as the lost years. You have so many things you have to do for them they are not potty trained and they are mobile and get into EVERYTHING. Going outside is more work than its worth and with twins they scatter in opposite directions. Three on one is so hard handle in big open spaces. I would often find myself skipping outside time because the work was just too much for me. When the twins turned 3 and Grayson was 6 it felt like we had a ...
