I took the kids ice skating at Extreme Ice Center in Charlotte and we had the best time! They all were very brave and just jumped right in, not caring if they fell or anything. It was awesome! We ended up seeing some friends from our neighborhood there too which was an added bonus!
Last Wednesday we scooted down to Riviera Maya for a work trip for Kevin. Sorta... it was through a consultant that helps him with his business. We were supposed to go Tuesday but the kids ended up not having school so we changed everything to leave Wednesday. We had to come back Friday still so it was a quick trip!
We stayed at an adult only all inclusive called Unico. It was nice but we were not "wow'd" by it. We won't be back.
Early morning by the pool.
Not a beach situation
Then we headed back to Charlotte before the big snow storm!
ONE - I wear this denim top so often. Hit goes with any bottom and I feel put together. Yes I button mine more than she does in the pic!
TWO - super cute sweatshirt
THREE - I'm in the market for a new volcano candle and I'm into the yellow Springy vibe
FOUR - so comfy and this color!
FIVE - a super pretty coffee table book
This lotion is one that my dermatologist told me to get and she was not wrong. I've had it for a year now and it legit works wonders. It's what I put on my face too! It doesn't smell at all, nor is it greasy but it's actually moisturizing. It's reasonably priced and easy to get - Target, Walmart, CVS, wherever. 
This one I've used for years and I have one at work, in my car, in our mudroom, with my makeup... My most used tube is in my car because it's the one place I'm not washing my hands 18 times an hour. Highly recommend to cake this on the backs of your hands and let it sit!
We had quite the ice event Saturday evening into last evening so the kids are off school today. I think they should go tomorrow as the streets are dry now. We will see!

ONE - this dress (which is on big time sale was $328, now $69) is so cute - credit goes to my worker! It's ivory so def can wear into Fall with boots and a jean jacket.
TWO - a simple shirt to have in your closet that can go with dress slacks, jeans or shorts.
THREE - love this $50 jacket which is down from $129!
FOUR - another steal of a deal but sizes are limited unfort
FIVE - my fav flats are back after a 5/6 year hiatus! I need a new pair of black shoes for work and I'll be ordering these soon.
Hello my friends. Another week, another week of planning and cooking meals for the people that live with me. Had to keep things simple this week because I ordered groceries on the plane ride back from the Dominican on Monday!
Tuesday - tortellini and sausage soup - I made it on Monday night then kept it in the fridge overnight to pop in the slow cooker on Tuesday morning. I left it on low for 10 hours not 5 and it was fine!
Wednesday - crab cakes (with frozen Maryland crab meat - thanks Dad!), fresh green beans in the air fryer with avocado oil and everything bagel seasoning and fruit - I'll probably make a little fruit bowl with strawberries, banana, mango and apples.
Thursday - I cut filets off of the Christmas Eve meat I got from Costco and froze them. We will have those, steamed broccoli (my kids love) and some sort of starch.
Friday - smash burgers and a southwest salad bag that I got from Walmart.
Saturday - I want to make a soup for the brisk weather we will be having. Share your favorite soup recipes!
