Christmasey Day

Yeah not sure if that’s even a word... but it just felt Christmasey today:). Lori and I took F out to celebrate her big Gotcha Day anniversary with some bubble tea of course.  Eleven years ago we were handed a big baby blob... now look at her! F is certainly one of a kind and I love her dearly. Love that a simple bubble tea makes her day too. Happy Gotcha Day Faitharooni!!




















Spelling Bee

Bug won in her class spelling bee a few weeks ago, so she qualified for the big school wide spelling bee today.  The big event was broadcasted live to the entire school this morning. She was so excited and equally nervous. I was thrilled to be able to cheer her on. Even though she didn’t win today, I am still super proud of my strong and brave daughter.  She is a rockstar!

















Lunch Date

Had my usual lunch date with Cindybon today.  After some thought out timelines, we figured out that we have shared over 500 lunches together... WOW!  We meet once a week and catch up on each other’s lives over lunch.  We have a standing date and I just love our friendship.  Oh the ups and downs we have shared the past ten years.  Took a quick selfie today to “document” my lunch date that is such a big part of my everyday world.  Thank you Cindy for being such a wonderful friend who listens to all my crazy every single week!





No Need

No need for spending money today on this big Cyber Monday.  Didn’t buy one.single.thing online today... go me!  Doing some strict budgeting around here in order to enjoy some big vacations next year.  I have set a strict cash budget for all the kids’ Christmas presents. Going to stick to it! My “poor” children will have to survive a $1000 Christmas lol. Today’s question seems to go hand in hand with Cyber Monday.  Hard to remember toys, easier to remember experiences and vacations:) 





Winning Week

Yay!  Losing on Thanksgiving week is a big deal:) The biggest change on WW again is that it kinda forces me to eat regularly again. I don’t skip meals like I have in the past.  My body and my hair seem to be thanking me for that lol.  Coming in handy now that the big 80s hair is back too.  LOVE that!



Chunky Monkey

Gotta love it!  Seems to have turned into a Tennessee tradition :)

















Gone Fishin’

Well sorta haha.  The girls and I took a little road trip after church today. Ended our week staycation all smiles and even with some ice cream! God is good:)
