It's Fri-Yay!

Well, it isn't the blizzard/snow day I was dreaming of, but the little dusting of snow we got overnight was enough to give us a two hour delay! Some much needed time for the girls to sleep in and wake up refreshed and for me, a little time to read before I had to start the day. If only every day could start two hours later. 😊

Happy Friday!

Life Lately

With the holidays over, the kids have gone back to school and the hubby is back to working 12 hour shifts. That combined with a cold I've been fighting since Christmas Eve, I've been feeling quite BLAH! I know I'm not alone here, the girls have been exhausted this week too. Afterschool naps have been a regular occurrence.

This week has also brought us some chilly weather. If only it would bring us some snow! I know not everyone feels the same as I do, but a good snow day would be awesome right about now.

Speaking of getting back to school, Stella has finally discovered she LOVES to read! The first part of this school year has been a struggle getting her to do her nightly reading. For Christmas, she received a bunch of new books and has been reading to me every night without complaints! I can see improvement already and I am thrilled that she has started to love books like her momma!

Honestly, this first week of the new year has been sort of uneventful. Hopefully we find our groove and get back to normal after the weekend. Getting back on track after a lazy Christmas break has been exhausting. Ha!

Goodbye, 2016. Hello, 2017

Well, hello there 2017! We made it through twenty sixteen happy, healthy, and with a roof over our heads. In my book, that's a success! But, I do love turning the page to a new year. It's a chance to start fresh and think about what we can do to improve our lives. For me, in 2017 I would like to work on being more patient, organized, and helpful to others. I think I can do it!

This year I will celebrate being 5 years cancer free and Mike and I will be celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary in June! We have so much to be thankful for!

Happy New Year everyone! May your year be filled with happiness!
