The Day of Love

Audrey couldn't wait to make valentines for all her friends at preschool. I was pretty excited about making valentines with her for the first time as well. She cut out about 3 hearts and then was done with that part, but was all about the glitter and jewels. We had a good time assembling them the night before.

She looked so cute right before I dropped her off I had to snap a picture. She had a lovely time at her preschool valentine party.
Pete knows me well and came home with a box of mini bunt cakes. I don't think I've ever had bunt cake before but boy were they yummy!

A little sibling love before bed time.

Hello! I tried using stuff I already had to make it cheap and simple. There was a good deal on candy bars the week of Valentines so we just wrapped those with heart paper, and a ribbon. Somebody was borrowing my cricut or I would have cut the hearts out that way, but the ones she cut out were pretty cute. She then just used glitter glue and jewles to decorate and then stuck them inside the ribbon. It probably would have been MORE simple to buy the generic kind at the store, which is probably what I'll do when I have mulitple kids classes that we have to make valentines for, but we had a good time.

Happy New Year!

 We thought we’d bring some new energy to 2021 by completely tearing our house apart and getting our carpets cleaned. The cleaners were scheduled for December 30th, so we pulled everything out of bedrooms and gave the walls and baseboards a good scrub. In order to allow the carpets time to dry we didn’t want to walk on them so we used Elliott’s points and got a hotel up in the Woodlands. We stayed at the Marriott along the waterway and it was beautiful. There ended up being a storm that night which was unfortunate because we weren’t able to walk down the waterway and enjoy the whole scene up there. We ordered Shake Shack from Uber Eats and watched Hook all snuggled up in our beds. It was a perfect evening.  Once we returned home we got to work putting bedrooms back together then later that night celebrated the new year! It’s become tradition for us to do taste tests with the kids blindfolded. We did different flavored oreo’s and ice drinks. We ordered Buffalo Wild Wings and wa...

Good Morning

Our kids don't sleep in. If they make it past 6:30 it's an extremely rare occasion. The problem with this is that Pete and I are not exactly morning folk. We make goals that say we will be in bed before 10pm, but after a week or so we are back to staying up way to late. Having Netflix is not helping either. We love watching documentaries and could watch them all night long. Every morning looks a little something like this. Our kids full of energy and ready to conquer the day, while Pete and I are wanting to kill ourselves.

December

There are a lot of words that could be used to describe 2020. Unpredictable, scary, death, political insanity, isolation, divisive, racial inequality, quarantine, masks etc. etc. It was really rough for us around June-October when we had no idea whether or not Elliott would have a job. Thankfully we were one of the lucky ones that didn't get furloughed. Financially speaking our biggest hit was that overtime was cut. We had big plans of paying off a lot of debt from law school and going on our first family trip to Disneyworld. Without that overtime we make about $2,000 less a month and it's quite a hit, but we are making it work. We canceled our Disneyworld trip and are living paycheck to paycheck but had Elliott been furloughed for an undermined amount of time I don't know what we would have done. I know there are many families in that situation and I wish we were in a position to offer some assistance instead of treading water. I feel very blessed and fortunate for where w...
