Guys, I officially have an 8 year old. And I look way too young for it 🙂 Ben turned 8 yesterday and we celebrated all day long, but before I get too carried away, let’s back up a bit. Thursday night we wen’t to the women’s basketball game and while Ben enjoyed it, Jack was more focused on his Dip n Dots. Can’t say I blame him. I posted this on my Instagram, but Friday at work we filmed a video for one of our programs and I also got to do the voice over for it. Now all I need is an animated movie. Friday night was super low key…

Christmas 2016
Before we get too far into the new year I wanted to recap our Christmas. This was probably my most favorite Christmas yet. The kids were so excited for all their gifts and most importantly they were grateful which is something we’ve really worked on. On Christmas Eve Eve we made our cookies for Santa. I used the Betty Cracker sugar cookie mix in a bag where you add butter and eggs. It worked perfectly and the cookies held their shape. So many choices. We celebrate with J’s side of the family on Christmas Eve which started with lunch and presents at his mom’s house. I just adore them. Cousins.…

Friday, Friday
I can’t remember the last time I did a Friday post and man it feels good to be back. I’m linking up with Christina, Amanda, & Karli to bring you my 5 things this week. one. It was 74 degrees here on Wednesday and today we have all sorts of winter storm warnings as heavy ice is headed our way. I can’t say I’m all that sad about it since the schools are closed tomorrow, my work is closed, and I’m stocked up on groceries and wine for the next several days. two. While I may not have even up wine as part of my New Year Resolutions, I did vow to be more conscious…
