T.G.I.F., for real. Josh returned home after 9 days away for work in California and I am relieved. That’s a lot of days to have two little ones glued to your hip 24/7. But we did it, we made it through with only a few tears 😉
We were snowed in last Sunday, so we stayed in our jammies a little longer, made a big pot of spaghetti, and did a ton of puzzles. ❄️ The rest of the time was spent going to wee school, dance class, a doctor’s appointment, making a couple of trips to the library, and continuing our quest for a clean house.
Onward to the weekend. Friday nights are always fun with pizza and a movie; on the big screen tonight is The LEGO Ninjago Movie. I fully anticipate that Quinn will run around for the next week pretending to be a ninja (but that’s not much different than any other week…). I hope you all have a fantastic weekend! Let’s start it off right with my favorite things from around the web in this week’s edition of Friday Favorites.

Favorite Cookies: The Perfect Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookie. I’m going to whip up a batch of these ASAP!
Favorite Reads: 19 Books to Read Before They Hit Theaters in 2018. Always read the book first. Thus far, I’ve only read Where’d You Go, Bernadette?, so I better hit the books!
Favorite Breakfast: 2 Ingredient Bagels. Only 2 ingredients?! Color me intrigued.
Favorite Snack Ideas: Healthy Self-Serve Snacks. I am so in need of new, healthy snack ideas to get us out of our snacking rut.
Favorite Baby Food: 18 Stage 2 Baby Purees. I love making baby food! Wyatt is such an enthusiastic eater, it has been fun watching him try new flavors. The boy even loves green veggies 😳
Favorite Comfort Food: Homemade Macaroni and Cheese Casserole. On the menu for next week!
Favorite Handy Helper: 7 Treatments that will Soothe Super Dry Hands this Winter. You guys, my hands are a wreck. With a baby, I’m constantly washing my hands and washing bottles, which has left my paws dry and cracked. Now I just need to decide which of these 7 treatments to try first…
Favorite Beef: Beer-Braised Shredded Beef Sandwiches. Oh yeah 🤤
Favorite Writing: Learn Handlettering and Fake Caligraphy. I treated myself to some chalkboard markers for Christmas and I’m going to use this guide to make something real cute.
Favorite Kid Craft: Toilet Roll Love Bugs. My love bug will love this project!
Favorite Sweet: Apricot Almond Coffee Cake. This coffee cake looks incredible!
Favorite Must See: May It Last: A Potrait of The Avett Brothers premiers Monday on HBO. We didn’t make it to the theater when this documentary came out in September, so I am jazzed that I finally get to see it on tv in a few days 🤗
Happy Friday!
