This and That: 2/29

A little of this and that:

1. Green smoothies do not look cute on little pink dresses.

2. Things like this are the reason I don’t get much done on my to-do list. If I chose to pick these up, which I didn’t – they are still sitting just like that, then that would be the 12957 time of picking them up today. Plus, Anna is very into cleaning and will enjoy “cleaning up” when she wakes up from

Butterfly Footprint Craft for Kids

For Brady’s parents birthdays this week Anna wanted to make them a present. She debated on what to make them but decided on a painting using her feet and some finger paint.

Both Brady and I were skeptical of the idea, but once I saw it on Pinterest, I knew Anna’s plan would work.

So last Sunday night, we coated her little piggies with colorful paint while she proudly sat on the counter. Brady held her in place while I

Hope you are having a great Valentine’s Day doing something you love with the people you love!

After picking her up, we went with Cindy, Addie + Emmy to the Step 2 store for some playtime and shopping.

Two little ladies in pink!

It’s always hard to figure out what toys to get for your child or what to tell someone who asks you for an idea for the little one. I rely on my cousins and friends to give me a heads up on what Anna will be ready for soon, what toys are worth it and what brands are best. I would love your feed back if you have toys you like or feel are worthwhile! I would like to post

Healthy Macaroni and Cheese for Kids

DSC06199.jpg

What are you up to today? It doesn’t feel like Thursday and it doesn’t feel like the weekend is approaching. I still feel like we are in the middle of things and haven’t reached that downhill point yet. Hopefully by tonight I will have that feeling.

This week I needed a healthy meal for Anna that would be easy to reheat. I immediately turned to a favorite – Mac & Cheese. It’s simple to make, full of protein and
