Valentine’s Day Recap

Hi, friends! I hope you had a wonderful weekend. 

We woke up to snow on Valentine’s Day which made the day a little magical. 

C thought it was awesome and he couldn’t wait to make snow angels and cruise in the snow. 

Today, I am joining The Other Side of the Road, My Glittery Heart, and The Sirois Family for:

 I LOVE Valentine’s Day! Like, I really love it so I wanted to recap our day so that way I can remember all that we did.

We had decorated earlier in the month by adding hearts, heart wreaths, and heart garland around the house.  I added more decorations the night before so that when the boys woke up it looked like hearts exploded everywhere, Happy Heart Day! 




We had a “Love You Breakfast!” Chocolate chip pancakes, bacon, and strawberry milk were on the menu.


The boys loved all their Valentine goodies and were on a bit of a sugar rush. We I definitely indulged in all the sweets. B gave me exactly what I wanted...chocolate covered strawberries.  


He surprised me with more chocolate 😮 (Thank you Costco for this ridiculous amount of candy!)


And flowers!


We felt loved by friends and family. My sister dropped treats for the boys and my neighbor delivered goodies too!  We enjoyed the day with movies, snuggles, playing in the snow, and making memories. I don’t know how we will top this one but I am already excited for next year. 

The entire state of TX is under a winter storm which has never occurred. EVER. 


Feels like -9!!! Y’all, I can’t even wrap my mind around this and another snowstorm is expected Tuesday night.  


This has been circulating on FB and it couldn’t be more true.  Stay warm friends! 

See you tomorrow for Tuesday Talk.

    I love to decorate for Valentine's Day (well, any holiday really!). We've got a foot of snow on the ground - my Valentine flowers were delivered on Friday because Saturday was the worst of the snowfall. Stay warm out there.

    I can't believe that Texas got that much snow and had all those problems. It was eerie. I love all the yummy treats! Looks like it was a good weekend!

Happy Wednesday, friends!  Today, I am joining Anne from  In Residence  for her monthly  Currently   post.  The first Wednesday of the month she provides a one word prompt to discuss and share. These are so fun to write up and to read.   Currently Arranging: Our  new rug! We had been waiting on one we ordered back in December that was a Magnolia rug but after the date of arrival getting pushed back several times we just decided to get something in stock. We ordered both rugs from the furniture store we got our sectional. We are loving our new rug!  Currently Craving:  Ahhhh, without a doubt my mom’s home cooking. Nuff said!!  Currently Discussing: We have definitely been going round and round with the “what if’s” about my possible job opportunities. It’s a little exciting and scary to think about having to make a decision.  Lots of praying going on too!  Currently Enjoying: We got the pics back from the “personality photo” session.  Y’all, they are precious!  If you have older kids thi

Honoring Dr. King

Hey there!   I am linking up with a great group of bloggers:  In honor of Dr. King, I wanted to share what I’ll be doing to remember and honor him. What remarkable words!  I thought it would be fun for the boys to color a picture of MLK. There are tons on  Pinterest but I really like this one from Crayola . If you have older kiddos, you can always google “facts about MLK.” It’s  a great way to discuss and learn more about him with your family. Martin Luther King, Jr. is taught in textbooks at school but how amazing would it be to bring the conversation into our homes about MLK and the Civil Rights Movement.  Did you know that MLK basically skipped high school? He attended Morehouse College when has was 15! He skipped 9th - 12th grade.  That is one of the facts I learned while researching about him.  I’ll leave you with a few more nuggets. Let’s DO better and BE better!  Make it a great Monday, friends.  -A-

Friday Favorites: 1/22/21

Ahhhhhh, it's my favorite day of the week! Anyone else feel like January is flying by?! Kinda loving it because spring is coming.  I am joining Erika and Andrea for their fabulous link up:  ONE:    We went on a little trip to the Tyler Zoo on Sunday.  It is a smaller zoo than Dallas or Ft. Worth but I tend to enjoy them even more because it is more manageable with the boys. We saw some great animals!  This longhorn was beautiful!  The lion was very active and kept roaring.   He was so loud and could be heard all over the zoo.  These guys scared me because I thought the cage was empty until I spotted them in the corner.   The only downfall for me was that there were way too many people not wearing masks for my comfort level.  We have visited 2 other smaller zoos in the past few months and generally most people will wear a mask even though we are outdoors. We kept our distance from people, avoided the enclosed areas, and avoided the animals that were crowded. It was a fun zoo and t
