Monthly Musings {February 2024}

 

Happy last day of February! I'm linking up with Patty and Holly for Monthly Musings! This month's topic is...

How To Survive the Winter Months!

1. What do you do in the winter that brings you joy? 

Lots of cozy time spent in the house! I like to curl up with a blanket and read or watch a movie.

2. How do you stay warm and cozy? 

A heated blanket is a must! A hot cup of coffee or tea while under the heated blanket, warm socks, cozy pjs......I love love love to be cozy all year long, but the winter is especially cozy! 

3. What are you looking forward to this winter? 

We're already having some warm days here and there, but if it's going to get cold again, I'd really love for it to snow!! 

4. Favorite wintertime activities? 

Anything cozy and inside 😂. 

5. Favorite months of winter? 

December and February!! I love Christmas and Valentine's Day! 

6. Favorite dishes to make in winter? 

Soup!! I made several different chicken tortilla soups in the slow cooker this year, and they were all so yummy!! My top two favorites were this buffalo ranch version and Jessie James Decker's version in her Just Eat cookbook. 

7. Gas or wood burning fireplace? 

Sadly, we don't have a fireplace. If we were to have one, I think I'd rather have gas logs! 

8. Favorite winter hot beverage? 

Any seasonal coffee at Starbucks- especially a gingerbread latte! I will also gladly take coffee at home or hot chocolate.

9. Favorite winter movies? 

Anything that involving New York City, London, or a winter wedding.

10. How do you stay healthy in winter? 

Drinks lots and lots of water and eat well for the most part. 

Thanks for reading! Have a great day!!

    I also try to drink more water in the winter. It's easier to get dehydrated if you're not hot! I like staying under a blanket with a good book or TV show, too.

Let's Look: January 2026

 Happy Wednesday!! Let's Look is one of my very favorite blog link ups and after not doing it last year, I am ready for it in 2026! I am linking up with Shay and Erika for this monthly series! Today, we are LOOKING at..... THINGS WE OUTSOURCE WITHOUT REGRET. Ok, there are so many things you can outsource that I just would rather do myself. I love to grocery shop. I think I would be weirded out by someone else doing my laundry. A house keeper is just not something we currently need or really want. BUT, there are occasions when outsourcing is just what needs to be done. Grocery Delivery/Pickup We don't do this often, but when we do it's pretty nice. That being said, I am usually ready to get back in the grocery store myself! Food Delivery This is another one we do not do often, but a Wednesday free delivery from Wingstop has sucked me in a few times 😂. And of course, pizza delivery is always nice! Plus, we can get food delivered to the school I work out, so that's nice e...

Friday Favorites {4.2.26}

 Happy THURSDAY. My days are getting so mixed up with a Friday holiday haha! Posting Friday Faves a day early since tomorrow is Good Friday. Whoop whoop! We're getting a 7Brew!! I'm gonna let the new wear off before I go, but dang I am so excited for this! Have y'all tried it?? My sister gave me this MacKenzie Child's cookie jar for my bday and I love!! I made some white chocolate, peanut, and M&M clusters and they looked so cute in it! I will try just about anything once haha, but I finally jumped on the Tik Tok bandwagon and grabbed this facial brush for lymphatic drainage. My mind could very easily be playing tricks on me, but I'm gonna say I see a difference! Got mind from Amazon! And I cannot close out this post without mentioning Autism Awareness and Acceptance Month! Please, please, please educate yourself on what it means to have Autism, how to explain it to your children, how to advocate, how to include, how to help- all the things!! Please remember, if...

Friday Favorites {12.19.25}

 And just like that.....it's CHRISTMAS BREAK! And my last post of 2025! But before all of that, let's get into some faves from my week! Linking up with Erika and Andrea. Some Christmas funnies for ya.... 😂😂😂 "Underground Spirit Week" We dress up or do something silly and the students have no idea, so it's constant confusion and laughter! So fun! Monday- PJ day. Tuesday-  Anything but a bag. Wednesday- Favorite Christmas song or movie character. Oh Christmas Tree, Rocking Around the Christmas Tree, or as one student said...the Rockefeller Christmas Tree! Thursday- Christmas tree topper meets hat. This one did not last long in my hair...hahahah! Today is another PJ day for "Kinderland"! My name is Maddie, and I am obsessed with good smelling laundry.... These both smell AMAZING. The Wicked one smells exactly like the perfume I have been wearing- Jo Malone English Pear and Sweet Pea. Makes me sad that it's limited edition... I was looking for some go...
