I have been shoulder-deep in field trip planning this week. Tomorrow, our entire school is going to see Disney on Ice: Princesses and Heroes. In case you didn’t know, planning for 600 students and faculty to go on a trip is no small task. I’ll need a whole week off after this, just to recover!! In other news, my Papa turned 71 years old today. If you saw him out,.. Read More
I have spent the last two days stuffing myself with good food, shopping my heart out, and then being completely lazy. It’s been wonderful 🙂 Here are a few pictures of our week: From one of my runs this week with Max. Tell me your dog does this too….. he grabs the leash and walks/runs around with it. Maybe it makes him think he’s leading me? Thanksgiving day attire. Fun.. Read More
Happy Thanksgiving, ya’ll!! Today starts my FAVORITE time of the year! This morning, the girls and I slept in. I got up around 7:30 and enjoyed a cup of coffee (or two) in the quiet. The girls stayed in bed until 8:45! I went in to wake them up, but they looked like this: I just couldn’t do it. So when they finally rolled out of bed, we enjoyed a.. Read More
The girls and I spent the morning cleaning and washing clothes. We put the big tree up, but didn’t decorate it yet. (Decorating for Christmas before Thanksgiving was a HUGE issue for me, but I’ll get over it!) I took Max for a 2-mile run, because he is CRAZY hyper lately. I dropped him back off at the house and did 3 more miles outside, in 20-degree weather, just for.. Read More
Sunday afternoon/evening, we took the girls hunting. I love hunting and went a lot before the girls were born, but never saw anything big enough to kill. (This IS on my 30 Before 30 list, though!) Kyndall has been a few times with Justin before, but this was Libby’s first time. We all clothed ourselves in layers and layers of camouflage and headed out. Mistake #1: All going in the.. Read More
This weekend, Aunt Kristi and Uncle Luke came into town and we hosted a baby shower for them. The girls love them so much! The girls got to meet new cousins from Kansas. I think they hit it off pretty quickly…. On Sunday, we met Kim and Shannon and the kids for brunch at Cracker Barrel, and then went to play at the park for a while before they left… Read More
The girls chose to go as Smurfette and Princess Sophia this year for Halloween. We purchased 2 Sophia dresses for the diva (AKA: Libby), but neither would do. We ended up borrowing the one she wore from a friend of mine. If you are in the market for a size 4 Sophia dress, hit me up 🙂 Wednesday night, the girls wore their costumes and we went to our church.. Read More
Max has been SO full of energy lately. Our walks/runs aren’t helping at all. So the other day, while we were outside trying to work out some of that doggy energy, Justin got an idea. And it went a little like this: And this. PETA, I know this is not normal behavior. I also know it’s not considered pet abuse, so please don’t diss me. Or do, I really don’t.. Read More
Years ago, I posted these photos and this story on Facebook. But that was before the world of blogging…well, my world of blogging. So now I feel the need to share it with all of you. So grab a cup of coffee, a blanket if you need one, and get comfy while I tell you a story. Once upon a time, in the year 2010, a mama and her two.. Read More
This weekend, we went to Lyon Family Farms in Taft, Tennessee. I consider our family an expert on pumpkin patches in our area–we have been to every single one within a 2 hour driving distance. Lyon Family Farms was, by far, the greatest ever. Here’s the crew (shirts courtesy of Crafty Cookie Boutique). And my favorite part of the food–roasted corn. They also had steak sandwiches, pork loin plates, nachos,.. Read More
