Looking forward to:::
Monday nights we do family dinner with Shawn's parents. It's so nice to sit down to a nice dinner together.


Looking around the house:::
It's 10am and Shawn's breakfast is still on the counter. By now it's freezing cold since it was cooked an hour ago, but since he got this new job, he works nonstop and often on video calls so I can't even run it up to him. Scottie is playing with one or two of the cats and their ball track toy thing behind me. The TV is on down in the living room but I can still hear Dakota (our new dog) sighing heavily in the living room. All the dogs need to go outside but Dakota is put on a leash and goes out front for now since Duchess isn't too accepting of her yet.

From the camera:::
We went to a Weda Skirts concert this weekend. The kids all got to dance and the music was really good.





What I'm wearing today:::
I've got on my jeggings and a grey v-neck tshirt with my Roxi slip on shoes. When I took the kids to school this morning I threw a mustard yellow sweater on, to keep warm.

One of my simple pleasures:::
Snuggling with Scottie while we watch her shows or read her books. I may see the same boring and annoying shows over and over again, or read her favorite books on repeat, but I'm trying to cherish this as much as I can. Next year she goes to kindergarten all day, and I'll be all alone at home.  

 Bible verse, Devotional, prayers:::

I haven't watched superstore but the other shows you watch are in my line up so maybe I should.

I really like the verse you shared for the week. Family dinners sound super nice. It's been a long time since we've done any type of family dinner that wasn't holiday related. Hope you have a wonderful week!

Long Time, No Talk

 Hey!! It’s been so long since I’ve come on here with anything other than recipes. Sadly, I haven’t been cooking much lately, so I don’t have any new recipes at the moment, but I have been super busy. It’s Nutcracker season in our house. It’s Christmas time, school concert time, and we have a million birthdays happening now and soon, but the thing that’s taking up all of our time is Nutcracker Shenanigans. All three girls are in the show. This year, Scottie is a sunflower. Rylie is a party child, a strawberry, and the understudy for both Clara and Fritz. Sydney is a snow, a trooper, and a part time flower. Ben is also working tech for the show. He’s been helping set everything up, and during the show he’ll be working the light board. I’ve been volunteering by watching littles during the tech week rehearsals, and another mom and myself have taken on the responsibility of running the Nutcracker Tea Party fundraiser for the pre professional dance company. It’s been fun, exhausting, someti
