February Recap!

I really need to be better about blogging more frequently because I forget about a lot of things. It's a good thing I utilize instagram pretty frequently because it's the only way I remember what has happened.

February started off with Brynn having yet another virus. Have you noticed a trend yet?! That girl seems to catch every single illness out there. Her immune system is going to be (better be) amazing by the time she enters school.

Brad and I actually got a sitter and snuck off to see The Greatest Showman. Oh, how we needed that date night. And as soon as the movie got over I wanted to go back and see it again and again! The Superbowl happened and I can't even tell you who won (without googling it). But I can tell you what happened on This Is Us. Anyone else obsessed with that show?!

It rained A LOT. Which is not a problem for us because we happen to have a toddler who LOVES jumping in the puddles! We made SO many sugar cookies. We made some to give as valentines and just because we found an incredible sugar cookie recipe that we can't get enough of! Already planning on making Easter cookies!

Honey and Dude came to visit us and we had fun taking them to all of our favorite places! Honey even watched Brynn so I could get screened to be Brad's board patient (can't believe he will be taking his license exam in a few weeks!) We also got family pictures done! Can't wait to share those on the blog! They are my most favorite ones yet!

Valentine's Day 2018

Holidays are one of my most favorite things in life so as a wife and mom I always like to go all out! As soon as February 1st came around I put out all of our Valentine's Day decorations. Brynn loves to help me decorates so I always let her help. It takes a lot longer but I enjoy seeing her get excited about things I love too! We even decorate her little kitchen area for all of the holidays, I just can't help myself.

I knew I wanted to make Valentine's Day cookies for all of Brynn's little friends so I tried out a new sugar cookie recipe! It is the absolute BEST! This is the first time I let Brynn help me make cookies so it took a lot more patience on my end but she loved it and had so much fun and now whenever I pull out the kitchen aid she runs over and says "help me" haha.

So we made cookies to deliver to all her friends and of course since I love pictures I had to take lots of her in her Valentine's Day colors (3 outfits, not my plan, just what happens when you have a newly potty trained kid -_-)

I'm excited to start traditions for each of the holidays because I feel like it makes it more exciting! What are some of your favorites for Valentine's Day? I'm always looking for more ideas!

January Recap

I really wanted to make my blog a priority this year because I've been feeling like I need to be better about documenting our lives (I take way too many pictures, no problem there) but somehow I always forget that I have this little space here to actually write things. I think it intimidates me because I'm not a great writer. Not that I should feel any pressure because I'm pretty sure my mom is the only one who read this thing! (Hi Mom!)

Before I got too far behind I thought I would do a little January recap! January was a crazy month. Brynn was sick for the majority of it but we did manage to have some fun! We got a southern snow storm and enjoyed the fun that snow brings for a few days, took a little day trip to Hunting Island, celebrated Brad's 31st birthday, and potty trained Brynn (Brynn was so ready to be potty trained so it was actually a really easy process) I'm totally expecting our next kid to give us a run for our money because Brynn has seriously been the easiest kid. Better knock on some wood fast! haha.

I still can't believe it is already March. This year is already flying by and I know it will only continue to do so as we have big things coming up. In April Brynn will turn 2, May Brad will graduate from Dental School, June we will make our big move, and in July Brad will start his job! It's just blowing my mind thinking about all the changes we have coming our way but we couldn't be more excited! Hopefully I'll do better about keeping this space updated!
