Sister Day

I mentioned in my last post that my sister brought her kids and dog over for the day on Wednesday and promised to blog about it. We had such a fun time! Hannah and I signed Sadie and Caroline up for a plant and paint event at a local park, so the girls painted a flower pot and planted a succulent and got to take it home! I will be cherishing that little pot as long as it lasts at our zoo of a house 😜

The day was full on chaos with three kids under age three and two dogs, but the best kind of chaos. I know I say it all the time, but I love doing life with my sister and I feel so blessed that we are in the same stage of being a wife and raising kids (and dogs) at the same time. My favorite moments of the day were the ones where the kids were all content and Hannah and I could just talk about everything and nothing. I so needed that day with her and I can’t wait to hang out again soon!

Five Thoughts and Five Favorites

Hey hey! Hope everyone has had a great weekend! I’m comin’ at ya today with a few random thoughts and favorite things as of late!

Five random thoughts and musings for today:

  1. Do you think whoever invented bug repellant spray was like I think I’ll make it smell so weird that even bugs will fly away?
  2. When I finish a phone call with my family I always say “Bye, love you!” and I was *this close* to saying it to the barista at the Starbucks drive through the other day 😳
  3. Sadie kept asking for maggots the other day, and it turned out she wanted magnets 😂
  4. What is your comfort food? Mine is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich or anything my mom cooks/bakes.
  5. I was reading this scripture about how our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit and I was like whoa, it makes so much sense. We worship in temples (our bodies), we don’t worship the temple.

A few favorites:

Baking cinnamon babka! I made it on a whim this week and I’m so glad I did. Love it!
