    5 on Friday

    One. I love this coat by Michael Kors and it’s on sale right now at Nordstrom. I wish they had it in the puffier version because it doesn’t look like it would be very warm in the 0 degree weather we’ve been having. Via Two. Jack began rolling over from his front to back right before he was 3 months old and he officially mastered rolling back to front on Thanksgiving day.  Ever since then anytime we lay him down on his back he flips right on over then gets mad and cries. He started sleeping on his side in his crib and is now doing this fun little game…

    1st Annual Cookie Exchange

    Sunday afternoon my friend Alissa hosted a cookie exchange complete with lots of cookies and since kids were invited, she also had lots of things for them to do including making candy reindeer, decorating cookies, and Santa coloring books. It was so thoughtful for her to think of these things and as I parent I super appreciate it.  The day of the party Ben woke up asking if it was time to go to Alissa’s and he could barely make it to 2:00pm he was so excited. We also had our first snow of the season that morning and got maybe an inch or so which I think is the…

    Rubber Ducky Bath

    My friend Jamie got me this duck bath tub at one of my baby showers and after another night of Jack splashing half the water out of his little blue baby tub, I knew it was time to bust out the duck. I was a little sad to put the baby tub away but he though the duck was the best! Such a big guy.

    Branson’s Cancelled.

    Due to massive amounts of snow in Branson, our plans for a holiday weekend getaway were changed at the last minute. And literally the last minute as we were already on the road. Although we got hardly any snow in the central part of the state, the Ozarks ended up getting 12 inches so we made the right decision even though we were disappointed. With the car already packed, Memaw, Pampaw, and my sister’s entire family in tow, we decided to head to snowless Kansas City instead. Although Ben wasn’t as thrilled about KC as he was Branson, we made the best of it and had a good time despite the freezing…

    5 on Friday

    Happy Friday!! He’s my 5 things from this week.  One. Ben set out the nativity scene all by himself this year and he did pretty good getting everything in the correct place. The only hiccup was that he wanted to put baby Jesus on the roof. Two. I finally started buying a few Christmas presents but I just can’t seem to find the motivation to wrap them. Three. I am OBESSED with this print. I don’t know what it is about it, but I LOVE it! I think Target has some wrapping paper in a similar pattern that I will be buying. Gap only has a 5t left in these…
