Oops! I didn't intend on skipping yesterday, but yesterday was a rough day for me. So I am not shocked that I forgot to post. The kid's sleep schedule has been all over the place the last couple of weeks. The lack of sleep for me certainly isn't helpful. My husband also got a promotion... Continue Reading →
Today was the last day of school for the year. Pickle is pretty excited about that. He probably thinks he is going go be playing fortnite all day every day. Little does he know mom has a plan! Let's start off by saying, my kids have to earn their technology. They have chores that they... Continue Reading →
Hurray! This is the first time in at least a week I haven't been forced to stay up til midnight for the sake of the elf. 😅 One thing that is difficult during the holiday season, at least for me, is trying to remain consistent with weight loss. I started the keto lifestyle, 2 years... Continue Reading →
I wasn't sure I would make it to posting tonight. My oldest child has lost 2 teeth this week. He has my sleeping tendencies [taking forever to fall asleep], so I have had to wait up for the tooth fairy to come. Plus, our good elf pal, Bob, tends to cause mischief at night too.... Continue Reading →
Happy Monday everyone! We have 11 days left until Christmas day. I am still trying to figure out where this year went. "Time keeps on slippin, into the future." Anyway.. Every year around my birthday, Chris' work usually has a Christmas/safety party. This year because of the pandemic they decided not to have one. It... Continue Reading →
"All my friends are heathens take it slow..." That song comes to mind a lot lately. You see, we have this elf that comes to visit us every December. Last year was his first year here and he caused some serious mayhem! I call him our heathen because he is always leaving me messes to... Continue Reading →
Today's advent was a simple one: read Christmas books. A few days ago, Pickle had asked us to get stuff to make shakes. We wound up getting it all with our grocery order, but I forgot about it until today. So, I decided to make the shakes as a treat to have while we read... Continue Reading →
Crafts, crafts, crafts! Our advent activities usually contain plenty of projects. Today we had a 2 for 1 special because the kids were at their grandparent's house all weekend. We had to make up for yesterday's and then do today's activity. Our first activity was gingerbread houses. I have learned from previous years that it... Continue Reading →
Have you been naughty or nice? If you have been naughty, then you should probably be preparing yourself for your demise tonight when Krampus shows up! December 5th is known as Krampus night. Krampus is a European folklore creature that is half goat and half demon. It is said that he comes on the night... Continue Reading →
Ho ho ho and a bottle of....rum? Maybe wine? I don't drink alcohol, but it sounds funny when you sing it. Any-who.. Every year for Christmas, the first day of our advent we write letters to Santa. I like to do this early on because then I will know what the kids are thinking. I... Continue Reading →
