We had a fun family night for the month of March–we went to the Pittsburgh Home and Garden Show and it did not disappoint! My parents even met up with us to join in on the fun.
It’s typically a really busy event at the convention center downtown, so we chose to go on a Monday night to avoid the weekend crowds. It has over 1,500 exhibits spread out over ten acres for all things home and garden along with food and pet items, too. (more…)
We had our monthly family night for February and had a great little family date! I truly look forward to these nights spent together so much.
We started off our evening at Walnut Grill for dinner! I had a gift card, so we booked reservations and had an interesting experience. Mordecai started out crying (we woke him up from a nap… ugh) and Sadie had been up since 4:45 am and was tired.
Our food and service was so-so buuut we didn’t have to do dishes or prep food so I’m calling it a win! It was Mordecai’s first time at a restaurant and our first time all having a meal out together 💜
After we ate, we drew names and separated to Valentine’s Day shop for each other! Each paper with our names on it had prompts like “my favorite memory with you is…” and “my biggest prayer for you is…” to make the gift giving a little more special and thoughtful!
Jimmy drew Sadie’s name and Sadie drew mine so they went out together. I drew Jimmy’s name and Mordecai drew Sadie’s name, so we shopped together. We always keep it pretty simple and low budget.
Sadie picked out a necklace for me, Jimmy got Mordecai toy construction vehicles. Mordecai “gave” Sadie markers and a smell Lego kit and I gave Jimmy cookies and coffee!

We all met back at the house to exchange gifts. Sadie had fallen asleep in the car on the way home and Mordecai was ready for bed, but we all stayed up a little later to give each other our gifts.
It was a sweet family night and I’m already looking forward to the next one!
