Happy Wednesday!

It's cold! (for us!)

We even got a little snow...

My boys aren't feeling well, I'm praying the baby doesn't get sick, my husband doesn't come home until late tonight and we just needed a good treat. So, we started making no-bake cookies when I realized I didn't have any cocoa powder. Going to the store isn't an option today. So, we made them without the cocoa powder, and they turned out delish! A warm, oatmeal peanut butter cookie.

I was 2 days late to Hobby Lobby's 90% off Christmas, so by the time I got there, pickings were pretty slim. I found a pair of these though~do you see any potential??

Could it be?

At the Dollar Tree?

There is nothing worse than waking up on a morning in early October to snow and realize that your daughter does not have a winter coat for the season. Not wanting to be known as an unfit mother, you wake all the kids up, scrape the van, load them up, toss them back a granola bar, and rush to Target to pay full price for a new winter coat before school starts. You have her rip off the tags on the way, and as you pull up to the school, see that the sun is out, the snow is almost all melted, and most kids are still in hoodies, because who shops ahead?

I miss my mom.

I actually have to make my own bed, empty the dishwasher, get the boys ready for the day, and make dinner tonight all on my own??

She is the biggest help when she comes and of course the hardest part is the first few days after she leaves. We miss you, Grandma...

I have 3 wardrobes scattered throughout our bedroom and it's driving me crazy! My maternity clothes, my regular clothes, and my in-between clothes for this wonderful period of nothing fitting! I'm really trying to simplify and downscale and wanted to share a little card I keep in my wallet. I cannot remember where I got these questions~I googled them and nothing came up, but I'm thinking from an old Oprah or something? Anyway, here are the 3 golden questions to ask when buying or going through your clothing:

1. Do I love this?

2. Is it flattering?

3. Is this the image I want to portray?
