Sharing some favs from the weekend!
Read moreHappy Friday! Wowsers, the kiddos ended up having a five day weekend last week, so this week meant I needed to play a little catch up around the house and handle some tasks that were put on the back burner. Excited for a fun weekend – Audrey has a play date with a friend Saturday morning and the boys are going to be at my brothers (so I can reorganize our bedroom!), the father/daughter dance and the Superbowl – just to name a few things that are happening!
Of course, I’m linking up with some of my favorite bloggers to share some Friday Favorites with you all!

As I publish this blog post, I am about to publish my Friday Favorites post at the same time! My goodness, did the day get away from me, but I wanted to share some Valentine’s related goodies that are trending around the house recently!
moreGood morning and happy Wednesday! Today, I’m linking up with my some of my favorite bloggers, Mix and Match Mama and A Little Bit of Everything, to talk what I eat in a week!

moreWe’ve all experienced it – the coziness, the warmth, the darkness – the perfect sleeping conditions that can make it hard to wake up and leave our bed during the winter months!
If you have a child who is a freeze baby (*raises hand*) and not a morning person (*raises hand again*), you know what a challenge waking up for school can be. Today I’m sharing some of my tips and tricks on how I help wake the kiddos up for school during the winter months – which can be the toughest months of all!

Andrew and I were supposed to head out this afternoon to a concert, but they made an announcement that they were rescheduling the concert, which we appreciate. So now, our day looks a little different, but excited to stay cozy with the kiddos and possibly go sled riding!

Hello Thursday!! As with the rest of the US, we are gearing up for some heavy snowfall today. We got a wintery mix of rain/sleet and ice last night and they’ve been telling us to gear up for the snow! Trying to stay cozy and safe during the storm and also will enjoy spending the day with my crew celebrating my birthday! They are home today with a snow day!
How did another year just come and go?! It does feel like forever ago though celebrating my 30th last year! Anyway, in honor of the bday, I felt like sharing 31 things about me! I’ve been wanting to do one of these posts for a while as a little intro for any new (or existing) readers here!
Read moreIt’s February 1st, which means the NO SPEND JANUARY challenge is officially complete. Today I’m sharing a recap of the challenge – some of the successes and some of the failures/updates that need to be addressed. I might even extend this into February and March, which are two more months where there isn’t much going on and we should utilize this in order to save BIG TIME
I know I mentioned this before, but summer can get crazy and the budget is even more difficult to figure out. The kids are home, spending ticks up a little bit – i.e. grocery budget increase, pool maintenance, having family and friends over, cookouts, parties and going to parks, on little trips, etc! These winter months are the perfect time to try to save as much as we can to make up for a variable summer.

These are my favorite posts – I LOVE seeing what others have going on and love that I can look back at these someday!

Yay for the weekend! Had all three kiddos with my yesterday because Audrey said her tummy hurt – turns out she was just fine but I actually ended up enjoying the quality time! It was just like the “old times”. She’s back at school today so off to get some things knocked off my to-do list.
