what we've been up to

5 Friday Faves

Happy FRIYAY, Friends!  We had yet another school closing today and I have a feeling it's going to be a very long winter.  Even though it was a short work week, I'm ready for the weekend to snuggle my babes and attend a belated Christmas party with some of my girls!  Bring it on, Saturday and Sunday!  But before that, I'm so excited for my very first 5 Friday Faves!  Check out what I've been loving lately below!  


one
mug l pullover

I'm a sucker for cute coffee mugs.  I love the look of Rae Dunn but it is just a tad bit pricey for this girl.  When I was at Hobby Lobby last week, I walked past a display that had these mugs on them and immediately picked one up!  There's just something about sipping coffee out of a cute mug that makes it taste that much better!  Side note: you want this pullover in your life!  So comfy and warm! 


two

I tend to stick to reality television, but over winter break Tommy and I binge watched The Brave on NBC and OH MY GOODNESS!  I love when I find shows that my husband and I both like and can watch together.  The show was back on this week and I spent half the time yelling at the television and the other half with my hands up over my eyes because it was so suspenseful and I never knew what was going to happen next!  This is definitely one I recommend!


three

I'm a newbie to the Apple Watch world and wanted to find a few different bands for mine.  I found the shop above on Etsy and she had great reviews so I decided to give it a try!  I wanted something that I could wear with my work clothes and I've gotten so many compliments on it.  It is comfortable to wear and I will definitely be buying from her again!  Go check out her shop!

I don't know about you but I easily gained 5 pounds over the holidays.  My parents clued me in on these smoothies that they've been drinking and so I gave them a try this week!  Sometimes I have a hard time with protein shakes because of the chalky taste, but because you add some many other ingredients, these gave me no issues!  I hate packing my lunch for work so I have just been taking one of these with me everyday and they've easily kept me full until dinnertime!  Next week I'm going to give the blueberry coconut creme one a try!

five
pajamas

Earlier this week I wrote my post on Valentine's Day pajamas with a ton of adorable options for little girls...and now you can coordinate with them!  I ordered these pajamas from GAP earlier this month and finally got around to washing them.  They will definitely be on repeat for the next couple of months!  Bonus...they are currently on sale and you can save an additional 40% off on top of the sale price!  How cute and appropriate for this time of year?  

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!  See you on Monday!

Valentine's Day Pajamas: Girl Edition + GIVEAWAY

All my wishing over the weekend came true and school was closed today (insert happy dance here)!  I know I'm just delaying the inevitable, but I'll take one more day of hanging out in my pajamas...which if you haven't already noticed, I am obsessed with matching, festive pajamas.  I would keep my kids in jams all day long if it wasn't so frowned upon by my husband!  I'm always on the hunt for cute, but reasonably priced clothing for the girls.  There are so many stores that I love to shop at for the babes, but I always wait until they offer some kind of discount code because lets be honest, life is expensive and I unfortunately don't have millions to spend on clothes!  Here is my round up of the best jams for this Valentine's Day season!  Buy them now because all things pink and hearts are fair game in January! 


1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6


I also found this headband at Target that would be a perfect match with quite a few of the above options.


In honor of no school today, I've decided to give away a Starbucks Gift Card so you can shop for pajamas while sipping your favorite drink.  Just follow the link below to sign up.

  This giveaway has ended.  Congrats, Megan J, you are the winner!


I'll leave you with some picture of my babes...because what kind of post would it be if I didn't include these cuties at least a couple of times? 





Happy Shopping!

Day in the Life (Winter Break)

Winter Break is almost over for this teacher and I'm off to work again on Monday.  I always have mixed feelings when a break comes to an end.  I hate leaving my kids and that is the absolute worst part.  We have spent pretty much every single second together over the past two weeks and my heart is starting to hurt thinking about not being with them all day long and how they will adjust.  Luckily, they have a wonderful babysitter and I know they will be excited to see their friends again.  I also am in need of some adult interaction and it will be good to get back into a schedule.  Since today is one of our last days of break, I wanted to show you just what we do all day long.

8 AM
 mug

I live off coffee.  I don't know how moms ever survived without it.  Typically it gets reheated 1.2 million times before I can actually finish it, but it is seriously liquid gold.  


9 AM

I'm not sure this is how the makers of this toy envisioned it would be used, but Teagen is obsessed with us pulling her around on it.  


10 AM
roomba

Who has a Roomba?  We bought one at the beginning of summer and it is seriously one of my favorite things.  My kids are always leaving crumbs everywhere and this bad boy just follows their messes around and sucks them up.  I'm hoping I can convince Tommy to get one for the upstairs sooner or later!


11 AM

I love you, Hobby Lobby!  Although I would appreciate it if you could make your carts a little bigger.  So small and barely enough room for my kids and all the purchases I want to make.  Maybe they were made by husbands so you couldn't buy as much?


12 PM

Tommy hates this place so we always try to take advantage of coming here when we meet my Mama for lunch! Yum!


1 PM

Laundry upon laundry upon laundry.  It seriously never ends and I despise it.  


2 PM 

Anyone else use ClickList?  One of my goals for this year is to try and meal plan for the week so I'm not just starring into my pantry on Tuesday evening trying to figure out what to make for dinner.  I love being able to grocery shop from my bed.


3 PM
game

The girls got this game for Christmas and it is the perfect game for toddlers.  So easy but it also helps them learn directions and recognize numbers.  


4 PM

Kitchen bar project coming to the blog soon!  I'm obsessed with how this turned out (and it was so easy)!


5 PM

Frozen is on repeat in this house.  Every time a song comes on, we all have to stand up and dance to it.  These girls are my favorite!


6 PM

I love getting packages...not sure Tommy could say the same thing!


7 PM

Is there anything better than nighttime cuddles with your baby?  The answer is no. 



The struggle is real between wanting my nails painted but hating to paint them.  I finally found a polish that has a wider brush and it makes painting them myself so much easier.  


9 PM


Happy FRIYAY!  KUWTK on the DVR and my favorite wine!


10 PM

Tommy took Kenna to a basketball game tonight so I'm currently laying in bed under my heated blanket waiting for them to get home.  I'm taking advantage of the quiet time by reading The Silent Sister by Diane Chamberlain and OH MY GOODNESS!  I seriously don't want to put it down!  I'll do a book review at the end of the month!


Thanks for following along on our day!  I'm going to take the next few days to soak in my little babes before heading back to work...and maybe wish for a snow cancellation for Monday!  Happy Weekend!
