How to properly do a Snow Day

Since this is approximately our 5th snow day this year, I think I'm qualified to instruct on optimum snow day enjoyment.


If you're like me, you like to feel accomplished, yet still relaxed on a snow day.  For this, you'll need the following:

1. A ridiculously adorable puppy.  Good luck finding one as cute as mine!  It helps if said puppy is sleepy and cuddly.  This helps you get in a good nap. (That comes later in the day, though!)
 2.  Laundry... wash it, fold it, put it away, and pat yourself on the back.  You did something on a snow day!  Now, enough of that!
 3.  Your favorite brew out of your favorite mug.  So hot! (That's what she said!) ; )
 4.  A baking project... because is there ever a time when baking is not a good use of time for a Southern girl?!  I think not!
Cream Cheese Streusel Cake
It's technically "coffee cake,"  but Zach said that was misleading as there is no coffee in it at all. He hates coffee!  So in our house... it's officially streusel cake!

 5.  Chili and rice.  Any snow day without it, just really isn't one at all.

 Not pictured:
6.  If you can finangle one, a husband is definitely preferred for a snow day, but seeing as mine had to go to class an his internship, I didn't get so lucky today!  (He was home during one of my snow days in Dec!)
7.  A blanket, preferably warm, that a sweet puppy can cuddle under with you!  You'll need it for a nice 2 hour nap!

So there you have it ya'll; a perfect snow day!  That's a wrap!

Family room re-do featuring.... my curtains! : )

For a while now, we've planned on finally finishing our family room.  That's right, it's kind of been unfinished for the entire time we've lived there.  It was painted and decorated, just no molding and the ceiling was hideous because we (and by we, I mean Zach) took down the drop ceiling the previous owners had put up.  So, anyway, I looked at curtains and didn't really find anything I liked, so I decided I was going to make my own.  Zach and I looked at Jo-Ann's a couple times and each time we looked I liked this fabric more and more.  It was the most expensive fabric I've ever bought, but in the end, it was sooooo worth it! (*Note- I bought the fabric in January before NSM! : )) Here we are at Mama Joyce's one day after church cutting the panels.  I think we were all nervous to cut it.  It was too costly to mess up! Fast forward a couple weeks because I didn't have time, was lazy, and also scared to sew on it, and I finally just delved in an...

Valentine's Weekend

Zach and I seemed to stretch out Valentine's day for the whole weekend! On Friday night we had pizza ordered in (pineapple and mushroom, my FAVORITE, Thanks honey!) Then on Saturday, Zach took me to downtown Henderson to Memories, a little antique shop, and bought me a McGuffey reader to add to my collection! After that, we went to Bed, Bath, and Beyond in Evansville and Zach bought me a back massage machine that goes in the chair! It does shiatsu massage and feel wonderful! He jokes that now he won't ever have to give me massages anymore, but that's not true! Then we went back to his house, and he opened his present from me, a balance thing that measures reloading stuff for guns! As you can guess, I don't exactly know what it is, I just said, "Pick something out unless you want some new polos." Motivates him every time! Today after church and lunch at Mama Joyce's we rushed to the west side of Evansville and went to the movies! We saw "When ...

Bumpdate: 41 weeks!

How Far along: 41 weeks.   Baby's size: Size of a jack fruit!  Around 7.5 lbs. (I think he's going to be about 8 lbs and Zach's official guess is 9 lbs. 2 oz.  I hope he's wrong!) Weight loss/gain: 30 lbs. (So glad the weight gain is slowing down!) Sleep: I told Zach I no longer am even trying to keep track of how much I am getting up to go to the bathroom. Gender: B-O-Y Movement:  He has been back to his super active little self this week.  Best Moment of this week:  Getting to spend time at home together now that we're finished with the old house.  Also, the 3 day weekend!  We didn't sleep in, much, but we figure that's all about to end anyway! Looking Forward: Getting to meet our baby boy.  I think it will be a little weird, because I truly don't feel like I'm finished being pregnant yet.  But, alas, we pretty much have to follow Dr.'s orders. Food cravings: Still pineapple!  ...
