So it may not have felt like the holiday we are used to with the large family gatherings but I hope everyone was able to enjoy it. We had two great egg hunts, inside and outside thanks to a very late night bunny as well as got some great sunshine for a BBQ. The Bunny spoiled our nuggets with some great goodies and remembered Daddy too😉Our oldest and Daddy tried to catch that bunny but he is too magical and fast, but what fun designing our trap! And a shout out to the Bunny for using the maps I left, that way we made sure we didn’t find any surprise stinkers in a few weeks😄

Almost forgot to show ya’ll what we did for our St Patty Day celebration…. I made an alphabet and picture scavenger hunt for the kids throughout the house and printed up extra holiday worksheets. Kept them entertained and happy almost all day🤗we also made a leprechaun trap and almost caught that sneaky little guy😉

Wow, the USA went from zero cases to the most in the world rather quickly🤯It’s rather insane up here but we are doing well in keeping our sanity. While most people are only on like almost a week in quarantine, we are finishing up our fourth (yup one whole month)🤪😳I’m super thankful that up here in WA we are used to being indoors due to weather & in recent years we got used to being snowed in (& without power). So not too stressed out but the kids definitely seem to be trying to crack mommy😁 I’ll try to post some things I’ve been doing to keep the kids educated and entertained…stay inside, stay healthy and stay sane everyone😉

Welp, glad we took precautionary measures when we did, it’s kind of crazy up here now😳Kids are officially out of school until the end of April so this mama is on super homeschooling duty. Just a reminder you can make your own antibacterial wipes, sprays and even hand gel if you can’t find any in stores. Also, those chemical ones are going to eventually wear down your immune system the more you use them. All those chemicals on your skin getting into your blood stream with lower your immune defense, so use those oils you got and keep up on your Elderberry 😉🙌

Man…. we had back to back to back birthdays and holidays and now this crazy virus… we have quite the number of cases up here where we live as well as a ton of deaths. So how are we being proactive against it🤔well we have our kids pulled out of school as a preventive measure as well as taking our vitamins, probiotics & the ever important Black Elderberry (I swear by this stuff!). It very well isn’t necessary to have them out of school but with our newest baby only four months old we aren’t taking any risks with this virus. Also, I’m getting to see how homeschooling all our nuggets would go😏definitely putting my teaching degrees to good use this last week and quite possibly this next one too…😷

If you celebrate it Valentine’s Day is creeping up on us. My other half and I don’t really celebrate, no fancy dinners or extravagant gifts but small fun & practical items. However, I DO love going all out for our kiddos😉I make mini Easter basket style prizes for our nuggets trying to stay away from the atypical candy with either a book or movie, some homemade fruit juice gummies, small puzzles, a plush softie and an article of clothing. So if your looking to add a special idea for celebrating with your kiddos I suggest turning any holiday into a family celebration 🤗

Man between getting back in the swing of things from the snow days (right after break) and then we had our Kain’s 5th birthday 🤯 followed close behind by Superbowl…. man I need a month long nap. But no…. we have Valentine’s day and more birthdays😶So I hope everyone’s year is still rocking and rolling🙌It seems to be non stop partying over here😄

So I’ve been a pescatarian for the last year, trying to stay as close to vegetarian as possible but man do I love me some seafood. It can be challenging and hard to stay dedicated especially this time of year with Superbowl so close. I recently stumbled upon this book at Target (everyone’s favorite place, I mean Beyonce can’t even resist) and am digging the recipes. I find a lot of vegetarian and vegan cookbooks can have a lot of complicated recipes. Whereas this new book has a TON of simple & delicious recipes, a lot that I feel you can even substitute seafood, dairy or even meat in if you like. So if you’re looking to get a bit of help on the health kick this year maybe check it out😉📖

What can help keep your sanity if you find yourself snowed in for a few days with littles🤔baking cookies and drinking coacoa after playing outside helps keep my sanity in check🙌🍪☕

Wowza has it been a year already😳Well kiddo number four is here and thriving and we all (barely) survived flu & cold season. I truly thought I was going to have more time last year to dedicate to this thing😒With a life schedule like mine I should have know better🤦‍♀️but life is all about learning, so here we go again 😉Going to start using my late night feeding time as a blog time. Because you know mom’s aren’t anything if not exceptional multi-taskers.🥰
