Happenings Lately!

Happy New Year everyone! I am excited to have yet another goal of being more consistent with my blogging. I hope that 2018 provides me the time to do so.  Considering I am 10 days in and I am just getting to it...I am encouraging you not to hold your breath! 

So here is what has been going on around here. 

Organizing the home is in FULL effect! I recently tackled under my kitchen sink and organized, threw away and cleaned! It is amazing how much space you can find when you clean it up and organize it! 

Before- all the cleaning stuff

Before!

After- found an entire space to fill

After- much more organized!

This was closely followed by our first snow day of the season. I consider it a true snow day if I can't get anywhere and entertain the whole day at home. We got creative and got creative early! First up, baking these delicious, healthy, Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins (I make them in the mini muffin pan [so adjust bake time if you try it the same way] & my kids inhale them!)! 



We went upstairs and took at bath at 8 am! Bath play time is always a go-to event for me, if I know we won't be going anywhere. I am raising water babies and they both race to the stairs when I say it is time for bath! 

Then some TV time. McKenna was obviously bored by now as she was trying to climb the TV console. That ended fast and I decided to allow them to wreck the kitchen and play with oatmeal and trucks...their very own construction sites! 

I may have had oatmeal all over the house BUT this activity bought me almost 45 minutes! They were loving it and playing so well together. 

 

I am going to keep this post kind of short as I have some new posts in the works! Here are a few quick pictures from our Christmas morning. I am so thankful that our families came to us and are allowing us to create new traditions and memories! We loved hosting everyone and I need to get better about remembering to take pictures of the food spreads...because we ate well!
