3 on Thursday

Just keeping it simple today with 3 things on my mind! 

#1-  I love most holidays! You name it and I will decorate, probably be wearing a festive shirt, and make a big deal about it. But, one of the holidays that gets neglected in our house is St. Patrick’s Day.  I have no idea why.  In the past, I just oblige and wear green. Boring! I don’t think I am going to go crazy with decor and all that but I might add some kind of green food/ fun dessert to our day. We did grab a Shamrock shake from McDonald’s but we didn’t love it.  Do you have any fun traditions for St. Patrick’s Day?  


#2 Guys, I am thinking about Easter too!  This year it is  the first Sunday in April which is early. I saw some really cute plaid shirts at Wal-Mart for the boys that I need to pick up the next time I am there. I also need to buy some Easter basket goodies. Here are some of the items on my list: chalk, bubbles, snacks, stickers/tattoos, a new baseball hat, and rain boots. I also need to investigate about Easter pics. Are you ready for Easter? 

#3 B came home last week and started talking about sending C back to daycare.  I have been wanting this for several months but I will admit that my heart sank a little.  I know all the benefits of him going back and I fully support it but I just wanted to hold on a little longer. We have a tour this Saturday at a daycare so we will see what happens.  We are thinking 3 days a week to start and then transition him and D to 5 days once I go back to work in the fall. Ready or not, things are going to change for our little family. 

Tell me something you are thinking about!

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

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

Ahhhhhh, friends! Last week was a doozy. I love you TX but not your crazy weather.  Then  Now  I thought today I would just share a few things currently on my mind or currently going on in our life. It will be random but that’s how it goes!  #1- As you know, TX got hit with snowstorms and very frigid temps last week. At times, we were even colder than Alaska.   We heard from our family and friends and some were dealing with the rolling outages, no power for hours which went into days, and no water.  We were very lucky because our only issue was spotty cable/ internet. It was hard knowing that others were suffering while we were okay. However, we did what was encouraged and that was to conserve energy and water. We unplugged appliances, lowered our heat, and used only the microwave or air fryer to cook meals.  We did get to enjoy the snow, had a snowball fight  and made snow angels.  We had to improvise when it came to our snow gear.  We layered socks for mittens and we had these boots
