It was a loooong week, you guys!

a week in the life

First week back to the grind in a LONG time, and nothing as exciting as last week happened! Just normal everyday life.

I decorate for Christmas like a lunatic, which I love, until it has to all to come. So I took the ornaments off all the trees first, and left the trees up for a few days so I could properly mourn the twinkly lights.

Apparently I mangled my kitchen tree when I removed those ornaments, so it looks like it’s about to topple over. But I still enjoyed it while I shot some recipes!

Sometimes winter sunsets beat summer ones.

My semi-embarrassing comfort food is a pack of quaker instant oatmeal. YEP. If you’ve been reading awhile then you know this because I have mentioned it 76 billion times.

It was nearly 75 degrees on Saturday. I liked it but also hated it. Because it’s such a tease, and will probably be in the 20s for the next three months.

Max had a party to go to this weekend and he was so excited because…

It was at chuck e cheese. He had never been there. Don’t worry, I took a gallon of hand sanitizer.

This is what I did Friday night! My life is so cool.

The new Sundays with love ride with Ally might be my favorite thing ever.

And we ended the weekend with mexican food!

It was a good, regular week and I spent a ton of time reading too – currently finishing such a fun age.
