Friday Favorites (02.14.25)

Good morning, and happy Valentine’s Day! It’s so awesome when Valentine’s Day lands on a Friday – mostly if you plan on doing something this day and get a sitter, lol! I think our day will involve hanging with the kiddos and doing our favorite tradition annual Valentine card reading! Andrew’s dad used to do this When he was a kid, now we torture our own kids lol the Valentines day card reading Andrew opening everyone of the kids Valentines and reading them in a cringe voice acting as if the note on the Valentine is from a legit crush lol it is torture ha ha!

The kids are off for another 4 day weekend! What a life!

Of course, I’m linking up with some of my favorite bloggers to share them!

January 2025 Garden Update

Good morning and happy Monday everyone! I hope you had a great weekend! We’ve been enjoying the loooong “weekend” (the kids are still home from school due to extreme cold) and have been staying nice and cozy during the cold snap we’ve been having!
