I just got an email via Facebook from a high school friend, requesting my address. For an invitation to our 15-year class reunion this summer.
Pardon me while I go put on some anti-wrinkle cream and do a workout DVD.

Observations:

Well, we’ve done it! The tree is decorated, the stockings are hung, and hot chocolate has been consumed, all while listening to some lovely Christmas carols. We even decorated outside on Saturday, despite the cold, which doesn’t happen every year but totally makes the kids’ Christmas when we do.

*Did a happy dance around the kitchen.

This is taken from a page in Hannah’s book…I enjoyed her list over the weekend, and I’m feeling like my head is full of randomness today as well, so here goes.
25. I have an unhealthy relationship with bread and butter. Knowing is half the battle, right?

Last night was the first time I’ve ever attended a book signing, and honestly, it’s the first time I’ve ever WANTED to attend a book signing.
When Kelli emailed me several weeks ago asking if I wanted to go see The Pioneer Woman aka Ree Drummond when she came to STL, I was immediately in (and, [...]

…a long drive by yourself. With three kids, uninterrupted time alone in the car has become precious to me, so you’ll understand why I so enjoyed this weekend!
On Friday night, I set off for Effingham for my SIL Andrea’s baby shower (pictures later in this post!). I sadly kissed my kids and husband [...]

First of all, addendum to yesterday’s post:
-I regularly forget Luke’s snack on Tuesdays since I don’t pack him a lunch on that day. Yep, it happened today.
-I did not get mooned today. Yay for me.
Friday was not my best performance as a mom. Yes, we were just coming off some major sickness [...]
