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!

Friday Favorites

Love that it's Friday Love that its Friday and we have a beautiful weekend ahead of us! Linking up with Andrea today! One These PJ's. When we first got married (and even before I was married really) I used to wear cute PJ's to bed and then I started to wear not so cute PJ's to bed so I ordered some new ones and OMG girls get these now. So so soft so so comfy and under $20.00! Plus they have pockets!   Two While your shopping at Kohls throw some of these picture frames in your cart! Just for fun! I love that they are easy to change out and have a distressed look! Plus they can sit on a shelf or be hung on the wall. Love! Three We have been swimming like crazy and that equals all the things that go with swimming like a million towels and swim suits. My bathroom was a mess. I usually never wash my swim suits I just rinse them out and hang dry they last a lot longer doing it that way and so I had things hanging every where! So I ord

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

Home Schooling

Ah home schooling something that all of the country was thrown into. March 13 th was the last day that Grayson went to school and Charlotte and Marshalls last day was March 12 th . We got the call on March 15 th that school was closed for 2 weeks and that a pick up for at home materials would be on Tuesday. It was not required just suggested and so we loosely did school work. A worksheet here, spelling words here, some math problems ya know simple things. We truly believed that 2 weeks and they would be back in the classroom that is what the district presented as happening and so the distance learning was just to occupy time not to really learn anything new. Everything we were given was review.  Then we got the notification March 30 th we were closed again for another 2 weeks. Again, we were being loose with the learning because I was now working from home all but one day a week and had all three kids home and lets be honest it was a lot. Michael was still working 4-5 days a wee
