Lately

I'm writing this post walking on the treadmill.  I finally bought a treadmill desk attachment.  There's so much work that I do on my computer that I have a hard time dedicating time to walking.  So, no excuses now, I've got a solution.  I'll be able to plan our school week out, menu plan, put together my grocery list, and so much more.

We've been spending our Sundays at basketball.  Yesterday was the last day and we didn't go, ha.  It's been rainy and neither of them felt like playing, so we skipped.  There are only two teams in the league this time and they don't get a break.  We might try a different location next season.

Homemade Heavenly Hunks

A few months ago I found a copycat recipe for the amazingly delicious oatmeal chocolate chip hunks.  I bought all the ingredients, but then never made them.  Until this weekend.  Oh my heavens...these are better homemade!  

I used this recipe.  Trust me.  Buy the ingredients and make them today!  These will be perfect for our upcoming roadtrip.

 I hope you make them and enjoy them as much as my family.

Bibbidi, Bobbidi, Booked

 Just after Christmas we booked our fifth Disney Cruise and very soon we'll be enjoying the warm sunshine instead of this freezing cold winter we've had.  Oh my it's been frigid!  I can't wait for the beaches!  This is the longest we've had snow on the ground since we lived in Nebraska back in 2016!

December things

As Christmas has come and gone and December closes out, we'll going to do an overload picture post for the month.  We had a relaxing month.  Drank lots of coffee, watched a ton of movies, played a few games, and ate a fair share of cookies.  December was good.  Very good.

I started December wrapping all the gifts we had

 

November Home Projects

Hello there!  November gave us a very busy month of inside projects we've been putting off for too long.  The first project took me to the basement to repaint the room that has been a lot.  It's been our school room, game room, movie room, and Sterling's room.  I had to turn the walls back to neutral to prepare it for its next use.  This room is extra large and has six walls to cover paint with.  It took ALL day!

Sourdough adventures

Happy December everyone!  The month we've all been waiting for.  I'm so excited.  I think I'll be able to actually enjoy it this year.  I've bought all the presents, made a bucket list, and have plans laid out.

I really want to enjoy the benefits of sourdough.  I love bread and have been so determined to get a successful batch of starter.  I have so many gut problems that I NEED this in my life.  I can get it to double.  I can get it bubbly.  I can get it to float.  What I can't get is for it to rise as a loaf.  

Thanksgiving 2024

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  We had an enjoyable, relaxing day.  I caught an uncharacteristic moment between the kids.   It rarely happens nowadays, but it warms my heart so much.    

Lately

Hey, hey!  We're going to get right into it.  I've rounded up all my pictures from the past couple weeks.  Last week my MIL asked for me to send pictures of the kids.  It got me scrolling through my camera roll and I didn't have any to send.  We're at the stage in life where they're not wanting their pictures taken and sent or posted.  So I have to respect that.  The random pics that I do get, if they approve it, I'll post.

It could be quite possible this is the reason for the lack of pictures, ha!
