Life Lately.

 Happy Tuesday! Today I thought I would share all about what were up to over the holiday break.

Christmas Eve Service is always my very favorite night of the year, and this year was no exception.

This Christmas season I did something I have never ever done. Something I never ever thought I would do. But this was my kitchen table on December 27 at 7:45 p.m. I don't know what was up with me, but I was just ready to have all put away. The past few years I have always taken everything down after Epiphany.

We had a sushi date and finally found a few rolls that we really like at our local place.

Since Christmas was all put away, I pulled out the Valentine's decor!

We took a long weekend trip to Dallas with Caleb's family. We went on a tour of AT&T Stadium which was really cool- except I just kept imagining what the place looked like during The Eras Tour 😉.

I walked around Nordstrom for quite a while, but I really wanted to be in that spa- ha! I'll post a full trip recap soon.

As soon as we got back home, we headed straight to our favorite Mexican restaurant.

We had a super cold week last week, so we were in a soup mood!

I made a BLT chicken salad and ate it for lunch with crackers and lettuce.

I got a new windshield- woohoo! It's the little things.....

My breakfasts have looked a little like this lately.

I found a new favorite candle from Kroger!

I thought I was going to do Dry January. But I failed. Oops!

My Valentine's decor is making me so happy! I definitely don't go out for other holidays like I do for Christmas, but subtle touches like this are so fun! I'll post a full Valentine's home tour soon.

Well, that's what's been going on with us lately! Have a great day!

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...

 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...
