PAINT-BY-NUMBER LIFE SIZE SANTA | DIY
11/24/2021
Maybe it’s signs of getting older (isn’t everything). Maybe it’s the time spent with various family members stopping by to help paint the big guy. Something about creating this 7 foot tall paint-by-number Santa gave me the warm fuzzies along with sweet memories that I will forever cherish. It was also the most relaxing DIY project to work on after a long day at work. I was almost sad when he was finished. If you’re looking for something to do with family for the holidays or a relaxing project in the middle of the hustle and bustle, you need to make a Santa of your own. Where you store a life-size Santa after the holidays might be an issue but, hey, that just makes for more memories trying to find somewhere to keep him. Who knew those paint-by-numbers we did as kids would be so fun in life-sized form...

WHAT’S FOR DINNER | WEEKLY MEAL IDEAS
11/08/2021
Time for another round of what the heck am I going to cook for dinner this week. Now that my kids are older, I can still hear their little voices asking (every.single.night) “What’s for dinner?” followed by “Yuck. I don’t like that.” Making up this week’s meal plan, as I typed out “cracker-breaded fish fillets”, I could hear both of their voices in unison, “Eeeewww!” I feel your pain, mommas and dads. Finding good healthy-ish foods that the whole family likes is nearly impossible and something you have to deal with week after week, year after year. But I’m here to tell you, those little voices will grow up and be out of the house before you know it. Who am I kidding? Those “eeewww” voices will haunt you the rest of your life whether they still live at home or not. Get used to it. 😀 Meal planning...
