A Week In The Life, Vol 49.
Week 49 of 2022. This is wild!
I can’t believe how fast this year has gone.
Gorgeous almost-winter skies!
This is what I set out for our delivery drivers along with a cooler with drinks. I’d love to do hot chocolate as it gets cooler but am not sure how to make it work?!
Having snacks with the big kids but throwing most on the floor…
One thing we all agree on… parmesan roasted broccoli!
Perfect baby Sebastian!! How sweet is he?!
These two have so much fun together.
Ice skating time!
He’s a trooper with his siblings’ activities.
We painted lots this week!
And our holiday outfits are in full swing.
Max has had some activities for his upcoming first communion.
And he’s been busy making lists for Santa!
We started our advent spiral this week with some wonky candles. Does this picture scream “I have a seven year old?!”
The elf came back. Max left him these notes and pictures and jokes.
I had a cookie decorating party for Emilia and her friends!
Sprinkles galore.
This was so much fun and I can already think of ways to do it again next year.
I mean… these kids love their sprinkles.
It makes me so happy!!
We used a mix of squeeze tube icing and container icing with plastic knives. It was great!
I set aside a separate box of cookies for Max to do when he got home because decorating cookies is one of his favorite things. We will do more in a week or so!
Pillow forts.
More painting. These trees and a perfect representation of their personality. Max = classic and traditional and by the book.
Emilia = funky and unique and colorful.
Had simmer pots on repeat all week.
The kids current favorite treat… pb toast with mini chocolate chips that melt.
Baby mullet curls!! I know this needs trimmed but I just can’t yet.
All the decorations are up!
This is a rainbow cookie that Max made me!
They have an obsession with doing the dishes and I hope this continues.
Hot cocoa with our advent candles.
I love this so much. I bought it on etsy two years ago. There are always a few different ones!
It’s one of my favorite traditions now!
And off for another holiday filled week!

Maybe get a large coffee urn for the hot chocolate and leave it plugged in outside? But you would have to also get hot cups with lids. Maybe on a bar cart?? Great idea, though, if you have a set up for it.Â
I take back my previous comment, Jessica. 3rd time was the charm: you finally got a baby who looks like you. Otherwise: all Eddie, all the time!
My week is just not the same without seeing these sweet, adorable faces. So enjoy your daily postings and your cookbooks. Â Very happy I found you.Â
That should be Patricia not Patrivis…what the heck!!
Don’t you love how there personalities show through with their artwork. My two were exactly the same way. I’m sure Max loved that you set aside some cookies for him. Looks like he does a great job! Love that you put out a basket of stuff for your delivery drivers, your so thoughtful.
Love these posts. Jessica you are such a good mom and such a good person for leaving the delivery drivers all those goodies…..and those sprinkles..I’m dying over all of them…
For the hot chocolate – my husband got a “Coffee Carafe Insulated Stainless Steel Large Beverage Dispenser” with a lever for hot/cold drinks and omg that thing keeps drinks warm for hours!! Then we do disposable cups.
Does anyone ever hoard the goodies out leave out and take too much?
never! i’ve done it for 4-5 years and no one has ever taken a large amount.
Well isn’t that nice!! So sweet and thoughtful for you to do 🤗 I’ve been following your blog forever and own all of your cookbooks, but I truly look so forward to a day in the life posts, the kids are getting so big! Oh, how time flies!
I’d love to know about those craft trays you have Max & Emilia using – those look game changing!Â
(And my youngest son is about a month older than Jordan and we’re in the same boat with the mullet-y curls. I just can’t touch them! What if they don’t grow back ðŸ˜)
I did the cookie decorating for my daughter back in the 80s! I first let them decorate a shoebox to put the cookies in to take home. I loved this tradition and wonder if my daughter remembers it.
Where did you find the Ice Breaker Candy Cane Mints?! They are my favorite and I could not find them last year. :(
target!
Those cookies are awesome!!! Made me smile.
