While this post was intended for Friday, life has been a tad hectic these last few days. Tommy has been working late this week and then Kenna was diagnosed with the dreaded flu that I have been trying so hard to keep away from this house. I've basically been living with Clorox wipes in one hand while trying to keep Teagen entertained and away from the sickness but also catering to Kenna's every need. My poor babe just isn't herself and I hate seeing her like this. Praying hard that the rest of us can stay healthy and we can get her back to normal in a few days!
We had such a fun weekend planned before this flu showed up. Kenna was supposed to go to her first Father Daughter Dance on Friday but Tommy told me no when I asked if she could attend wearing a face mask. I also was planning on throwing the girls their Valentine's Day Breakfast this morning but that will have to be postponed until next weekend. Doesn't this sickness know that I love celebrating holidays and no one has time for this nonsense? While I can't do everything that I was hoping to cram into the weekend, we have still been having a ton of fun in the weeks leading up!
Read below for some of my favorite things that have made celebrating Valentine's Day that much better this year!

one
almond joy cookies
Side note...I don't own cooling racks.
I had to use a pizza pan propped up on cups to cool the cookies.
I'm such an adult.
These are seriously the easiest and most delicious cookies I've ever baked. I found them a few years ago when we competed in our family cookie bake-off during Christmas. The original recipe doesn't call for m&m's but I always include them to go with whatever holiday I'm celebrating! My babes passed these out earlier this week to our favorite people and it was a great way to spread the love!
two
holiday jersey
Who has shopped the Jane App? I follow their Instagram page and I love seeing the cute deals that pop up. I always try to find a festive shirt to wear to school on holidays and this one is perfect! The Jane deals only last a few days so this shirt can't be ordered anymore, but I did link the St. Patrick's Day shirt that will hopefully be available again soon from the same seller. The shirt is great quality and very soft and it has definitely been on repeat over here!

the bouqs co.
I love getting flowers delivered to work (I mean who doesn't?)! My husband happens to be a creature of habit and 9 times out of 10 I will receive red and/or pink roses. I'm definitely not complaining BUT I like some variety in my flowers every once in awhile. I might have hinted (very strongly) about this company and I'm hoping these will arrive on my desk next Wednesday. I also ordered a few bouquets for some of my favorite people and one of the best parts...FREE SHIPPING on weekday orders!

Kenna is turning 3 1/2 this month and she has recently become obsessed with crafts. Her attention span is getting a little longer and we have been doing some fun things together. My favorite place to look for small craft projects is in the dollar spot at Target but I also found the love bugs and some wooden heart frames (we haven't had time for these yet because of the flu) at Hobby Lobby and they were 40% off, so each craft only ended up being a few dollars. I found the gingerbread house kit at Walmart. I couldn't find it on their website but they still had them last weekend in store.

In case you missed my last post, we love reading over here! I really want to get a few hanging bookshelves (hello trip to IKEA) for the girls' playroom so that I can switch out the books depending on the holiday/season. I've linked some of our favorites above!
I hope everyone has a wonderful rest of their weekend! I'll just be over here forcing Kenna to take all the meds while frequently getting coughed on. #momlifeisthebestlife
