Thursday Finds

ONE - I will be getting this shirt. It is so pretty in person and fits like a dream. ​I had my work pants on with it ;)

TWO - a simple tee but thick and flattering - a need in every color.


THREE - Molly Anne's new kicks. They're so fun. As much as she wanted the raised Sambas, they just don't fit her right. 


FOUR - gorgeous dress and so reasonable 


FIVE - another easy throw on tee with ruffled sleeves. Heads up - the white is see-through!

Activities These Days

​We are sort of in limbo these days between winter and spring sports. 

Molly Anne is wrapping up basketball in February, which she LOVES! She has had an awesome coach this year and has learned a lot. She has been begging me to let her ride a horse every now and then. She loved the camp she did last year. So she's going to do that here and there this spring (maybe once a month-ish). She also has taught herself how to do piano so we are going to formalize that a bit and get her in real lessons starting this week! She is also playing on our club's junior tennis team which is super cool! I've enjoyed watching her play tennis. Warms my little heart that she loves it! Oh and she's going to play field hockey. It all sounds like a lot but it really is all very low key. 

Grady just finished flag football and loved it. This was the second time he had played. He played two years ago. Last year he did basketball instead. He loves some flag! Baseball starts soon and he is only doing one rec team this season - thank goodness! The two teams in the Fall were too much for a 7 year old in my little opinion. He's going to play some lacrosse when he can and he is also going to swim to get ready to roll for summer swim and camp! We can always throw some tennis in there if he's sitting idle too long. He has a ton of school work every day after school these days - about 1.5 hours! It's wild but good. Molly Anne did that much homework after school in first grade, now Grady gets it in second grade. 

Chat soon!

Meal Plan This Week

​Here's how I'm getting through this week:

Sunday - we did make your own pizza in a new pizza oven we gave Kevin for his birthday. I forsee many more fun nights doing this! Also, I liked this oven bc it didn't require gas like the Solo Stove one. 

Monday - chicken lettuce wraps - my kids LOVED these and they got 7 plant points! I didn't use water chestnuts, I used rotisserie chicken (I won't use ground ever), and then I winged some of the other ingredients. Big win!

Tuesday - cheez it chicken tenderloins (just chicken dipped in egg then dipped in crushed cheez its then air fried), sweet potatoes and a fruit

Wednesday - burgers from the freezer - anytime I have extra hamburger meat not cooked, I make patties out of it. Now I have like 5 so I want to use them! I've been doing burgers in the air fryer too and they're SO good. Will prob do a side salad with these. 

Thursday - tbd 😂

HVD

​Friday night we celebrated Kevin's birthday with his dad, brother and niece at Wagon Wheel. Always good times with a classic salad bar and ole country spot. The place was packed at 5pm! 

Saturday morning, Molly Anne and I delivered flowers to widows as part of Watch Love Grow which my friend Ashley started. @prettythings.charlotte What she is doing is something special. This was my 4th year helping I think (last year I missed because we were in the Bahamas). It was great to have Molly Anne with me and the ladies loved seeing her!


Basketball game - she had a great game!

The brothers...they all play baseball!


We originally were going to go to the beach this weekend but it rained all day yesterday so we bailed. We ended up going to Baoding (chinese) for dinner on Valentine's Day then to the mall. It was exciting! 

Yesterday since it rained we just got stuff done around the house. I'm prepping kids clothes for a consignment sale and just stuff like that! 

Today the kiddos are off school so Kevin and I are splitting the work day. Ahhh! Chat soon!

Kevin's Birthday

Yesterday was Kevin's birthday! It was a nice 70 degree day here in Charlotte. A treat! We worked and schooled then had an early dinner on the patio at the new Yafo. Home for a Reese's cake before Molly Anne's basketball practice! The kids were so excited to celebrate. As the kids have gotten older the more our birthdays are for them! They made him super cute cards and we gave him an electric pizza oven and a Lola blanket like every old man needs!! It was a good day!
