Valentine's Day Peanut Butter Cookies

I made these cuties last weekend and they were delicious and were aesthetically PERFECT! If you need to bring a treat that looks professional and tastes great these were EASY!

Friday Favorites

Happy Friday, friends! Erika and I are so excited that lots of y'all are linking up with us every week.  Make sure that you're grabbing our graphic, linking back to us and sharing your own Friday Favorites post ;)

We're bracing ourselves for a crazy winter storm over here and I am PRAYING that it's way milder than they're saying. Being cozy at home is my FAVORITE but being at home without power is NOT my favorite so I'm hoping that we have an uneventful weekend in terms of outages and ice!

Kicking off this week's FAVORITES with this picture of Griffin that Mason snapped of her singing at youth on Sunday.  AMEN.

House Game - Pizza Box Balance

Pen This week's house game was a big hit and one of my very favorite things - FREE!  Dave stopped by Domino's on his way home from work and asked them for 24 pizza boxes.  They were happy to oblige and that was really the only prep I needed to do.  Once I got the stack of boxes to school I assembled the boxes (took hardly any time at all!) and we were ready to go. 

Five Follows Part IIX

Back with five more fun IG follows that I've been loving so far this year.  I love filling my feed and algorithm with funny, fun, uplifting and POSITIVE accounts and all of these make me smile on the daily.

Terry and Kaniyia react to music and I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!! Their reactions are so much fun and while I don't always believe they haven't heard the song before (WHO HASN'T HEARD 9-5?!?!?!) I love their reactions and energy and the music is always great.

Valentine's Day Festive Finds

 

Valentine's Day is around the corner and I always feel like going from Christmas decorations to no decor cold turkey is a bit harsh so I love having a few little heart items around to keep things festive and fun.  I rounded up some recent favorites until you're wanting to add some festive touches to your home as well!

This heart baking dish is DARLING and is from one of my favorite brands.  The price is awesome and I'm obsessed with the color.

Back Tomorrow ;)

 Enjoying our long weekend a little too much and so I'll be back in this space tomorrow!

One full week down and I'm SO GLAD it's Friday!  You know who else is glad it's Friday? This guy ;)

House Game - Pencil Balance Race

 I’m in charge of student activities for our Middle School which includes being over our House program and weekly House games. I share little snippets on Instagram and get asked often for game details and I’ve started/stopped a big “House System” post at least 7 times but always get overwhelmed and stop.  I’ve decided to simplify things and just share House Game as we play them and as they work well and then I’ll just continue to link those posts at the end of the games posts so that they’re l kind of in one place.  

This week’s game was one of my FAVORITES because it was virtually no prep, was easy to explain, and involved a good number of kids. I hae 150+ kids and so games that only involve 4 kids (one from each house) can be hard because it’s hard to keep the other 146 engaged.  

Creamy Chicken and Gnocchi Soup

I'm resharing this Chicken Gnocchi soup recipe because 

1) It's getting chillier around here and you HAVE to add it to your meal plan this week and

2) I made this for our girls recipe exchange back in December and it WON so I figured it was worth a reshare ;) and

3) I have to bring a soup to school next week for a teacher lunch thing and I'm bringing this and wanted to reshare in case you're in the same boat

This is super delicious and kind of unique in a world of tortellini soups and chilis and would be the perfect soup for a winter day. 

Amazon Lately

 

Griffin convinced me to order this lip stain so "we could share" and, honestly, I really like it! It does last for a long time and I like that I don't have to worry about it during the day.  I can never get it to "peel" but I just use a damp cotton round to wipe it off after about 10 minutes

Weekend Happies

I was SO READY for the weekend and it did not disappoint! After re-entry into real life I was exhausted and ready for a couple of days of nothing!

Things that made me happy this weekend included a slowwwwww Saturday with lots of tea refills...

I am SO HAPPY it's almost the weekend because I am WIPED OUT! Re-entry into the real world has gone fairly well but I think we're all exhausted!

This random collection of items on this tray in my kitchen was a FAVORITE little view last week ;) #MasonWasHere
