December Goals

First thing's first my November Progress


1- Have a date night with Michael.- We don't go out to dinner just the two of us very often so I'm hoping that we can venture out for an early dinner the day before Thanksgiving. -Done and Done!!! We went to the gun range and then out to dinner at Olive Garden then home for ice cream and a movie perfection!

2- Bake Pies- I love baking and I love making pies. This one is kind of a give in because I'm in charge of dessert for Thanksgiving but I'm still working on what ones to make- I made a chocolate and lemon meringue pie!!!

 3- Get Grayson's picture taken for our Christmas card. I always take this myself. I plan on getting this done this weekend- Got this done and love it! I will be doing a whole post on our cards since most people have already received them!!!

4- Start T-25. I'm hoping to start this program this weekend and keep it going 5 days a week all month. -Fail just plain fail

5-Send out my Christmas Cards- I like them to go in the mail the day after Thanksgiving that way people have all month to enjoy them!-They went into the mail box the Tuesday before Thanksgiving so that most people had them the day after!

6- Start and Finish Christmas shopping! I want it done early this year so that I can just enjoy my family during the holiday times-Done except for gift cards which will be done this week!

7- Start a new family tradition for Thanksgiving.- We have lots of tradition most are from my childhood so I would like to start one for out little family-We did this we are decorating for Christmas on Thanksgiving morning and to be honest I love it. We don't host Thanksgiving so it's nice to get it done and come home stuffed with Turkey to a cozy Christmas house


Now onto December

1- Wrap all my presents......I would like this done within the next week. My plan is to wrap as they come in.

2-Get G's picture taken with Santa! I'm not sure if we will venture to the mall or just take one with the Santa at the work party but I'm thinking there will be tears

3- Make Christmas cookies

4- Buy Christmas Ornaments for 2014

5- Move the Elf on the Shelf every night

6-Watch Christmas movies!


It's the Happiest season of all!

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
