A Peek Into Our Week (Happy V-Day!)

Hope everyone is having a great Tuesday! My husband got a 3-day weekend (which is rare) so we've been celebrating all weekend long. :-) 

And now we're dealing with 6 inches of snow, no plows, and figuring out how he's getting to work. SCORE.


LOL my husband sent me this Monday afternoon when he had to go into work early for some event. It pretty much describes us quite well. 


My birthday was Monday. My sister in law once again made me laugh and sent that shirt (above) for my birthday. For Christmas, her order got mixed up (or so she says) and I got a shirt with Biggie on it. More here

I told her I can't wait for this Christmas to see what shirt I get! 


When we go to the grocery store, we can't walk by the bananas without Emma going bananas. One time I let her eat a banana while we shopped. One time. She'll never let me forget it and now she eats one every time. The cashier always laughs when I put a banana peel up on the check out. 


Best idea ever! I have been slowly building our little craft box and found these for ONE DOLLAR. They keep her busy for an eternity in toddler time (20 minutes in real time). 

I showed E how to put them through the colander and she caught on super quick. She laughed so hard when I put them between her toes. 



Big girl status! She loves eating with big people silverware. Ain't nobody got time for baby spoons. She loves broccoli with cheesy rice. 


On Valentine's Day we went to a "nicer" mall about an hour away from us. I had been wanting some of these shirts (click here) from Gap Body, and was kind of afraid to order them online without trying them on. OMG they are so comfy and I definitely recommend them! I got 2 because of the price tag, but I told my husband if he needs any gift ideas, I want them in every color and style. Ha. 


E is going through a huge smoothie stage and is obsessed. I don't know if she just likes drinking out of a grown up cup or if she truly enjoys them, but she's had one every day for almost a week. 

I know I know store bought smoothies are full of sugar and chemicals and baby sea horse carcasses, but she likes them and it buys us 3 minutes of mall walking. 


My aunt sent us a box of goodies and Emmie loved her shirt! She reminded me of when I was little and used to wear my dad's shirts around the house. 


That (above) just made me laugh. We used to have a cat yearsssss ago and she always tried to dart outside! Nut jobs.


Thursday morning shenanigans with Daddy. These are the bizarre pictures I get while I'm out jogging. 


Friday afternoon Emmie and I made more valentines! And I pissed around playing with a canvas when I should have been doing: dishes, making dinner, returning 340598 emails, spending 2 minutes with my husband before he went to work, wiping out the fridge. 


Went outside of my comfort zone and let Weezy have at it with the finger paints. She wasn't too into it, surprisingly. She only sat there enough to make 2 hearts. 

Paint was everywhere. It is so washable though, you can literally wipe it off of the paper! Crazy. 


That was kind of a fail (above), but I will always keep it to remember how small she is! Maybe next year we can try again when she won't be so wiggly. :-) 

Okay hope everyone has a great day! xoxo

Sending Valentines

Emma & I have had so much fun making valentines this year! We even recruited Daddy to help the other day. :-)


We found those crayons (barely pictures above) at Target. I can't find a link for them but they are so easy for tiny hands to use. Emma only took a bite out of the black one..a win in my book! 

I know I posted a picture of the clean paint valentines-- I will have to do a post on those. I promise I will soon! 


Emma is totally sticker-obsessed right now. She loves them on her hands and feet and can stick them on the fridge. I have got to find some stickers on sale somewhere..any suggestions?


We also finished Nathan's little Valentine-- I can't wait for him to see it! And get this-- I spent $0 out of pocket for it. And it's not some ghetto gift (I promise). Well, a little ghetto but not totally. 


Even Little E helped wrap and put the stickers on, ha ha. 

We are going to do some more clean painting valentines this weekend. Really getting into the spirit here. :-)

Valentine Tree

After making Emma's felt Christmas tree, I kind of got the "felt bug". Actually that's a lie. I just have a ton of felt leftover, so I decided to play around with it. 


I'm not crafty at all. At. All. But I love it! I think it's so cute and Emma loves to throw the hearts everywhere. She was even sticking them on her shirt and the dogs. 


I went the lazy way and didn't hot glue felt on the push pins like last time. I just cover them up with the hearts. E doesn't try to pull them out. 


I'm so happy with how this turned out. Just like before, I had a yard of the white felt. I just used a sharpie and drew the "winter" tree and just went with it.

When it was time to tack it to the wall, I started at the bottom and worked my way out. I saved this for nap time because tacks were everywhere!

The hearts were easy, obviously. Just drew them and used regular scissors to cut them out.

I really love crafting with my girl! I'd like to get some more craft supplies as the year goes on-- maybe some pipe cleaners, poms?? Suggest anything else?
