Hello!

How is your week going? Mine is off to a good start…but guess what I did yesterday…for probably only the second time in 22 years of getting up for school…I forgot to set my alarm!

I have a daily alarm set for 7:15 to start fussing at the kids if they aren’t awake, and that’s what woke me up because I guess I forgot to set my 6:00 alarm.

You know how I love my morning quiet time…and I swear that my whole day was thrown off yesterday because I had to hit the ground running.

Anyway, today I’m linking up with Jennifer for this month’s Currently post.

Here’s what I am currently:

Loving:

I’ve been loving a few self-care things I’ve been using recently including the Jergens essential oil sticks (Sleep and Awaken) as well as collagen eye gels:

Sunny days have been just what I’ve needed. I love a couple of months of winter, but I didn’t realize how much I needed to see the sunshine until our temps warmed up and we’ve had a string of sunny days.

Looking forward to:

It might sound crazy, but I’m looking forward to a weekend full of activities. While one weekend without activities was fine, I’m excited to watch Hadley get back on the volleyball court this weekend.

It’s also cotillion weekend. This weekend is the third of four dances. It’s a more casual theme: Hawaiian:Malibu Mingle.

I’m looking forward to seeing the kids dressed up again.

Also, we’re definitely looking forward to cheering on the Chiefs this Sunday while watching the Super Bowl!

I don’t want to jinx it by typing this out, but of course we’re hoping for a win.

Also, I always look forward to a three day weekend, and Presidents’ Day is circled on the calendar. There’s no better feeling than no school on a Monday!

Doing to be romantic:

While it’s not the most romantic thing, I’ve already purchased Trav’s Valentine’s Day card. We typically go to dinner at some point around Valentine’s Day. We’ll see what we have time to do.

Also, sometimes we feel like our schedule is all about the kids. I’d like to make a point to maybe go on a breakfast date once a month…or hit up a coffee shop. Amy shared a reel with me about Lexington coffee shops, and I haven’t been to any of them. So, my goal in February is to find time to go to one of those with Travis.

Changing:

We’ve been changing up Hadley’s room, and it looks amazing. The wallpaper came in last week, and my friend helped me put it up this past weekend while Hadley was gone. Really, she did all the work! I’m just waiting on one more thing to arrive for her wall, and we are finished for now.

She definitely has a teenage room ready for high school!

Celebrating:

…Valentine’s Day next week. Again, we don’t do much to celebrate Valentine’s Day, but I always buy Trav and the kids a box of chocolates. I usually get the kids a couple of things and Travis and I exchange cards.

I’m not sure what I’m getting Hayden…besides another Gatorade bottle because he lost yet another one…but let me know if you have any ideas for teen boys.,

For Hadley, she really wanted Lego flowers for her room, so I got her those to put in a vase along with a new Stanley…because apparently, my kids can’t keep up with water bottles.

This year, with Valentine’s Day on a Wednesday, both kids have activities that evening. I still might try to fix some of their favorites for dinner which has been a tradition the past couple of years.

What about you? What are you currently loving, looking forward to, doing to be romantic, changing, and celebrating?

  1. I didn’t even realize the Superbowl was this weekend! Good thing no one in our family really watches or cares since we’re having Alec’s birthday party on Sunday. I am looking so forward to both the Monday holidays this month and sleeping in… I am just so tired lately.

  2. You even made the pepperoni shaped like a heart! Do you know how to do the cinnamon rolls from the roll like a heart? That would be fun for the am?
    Thanks for the shout out and I hope you do start that tradition – how fun! Tom and I need to go to breakfast more but that is Ernie time on the weekend right now!
    I bet you felt out of sorts with that alarm not going off. I hate feeling rushed.
    I bet you are excited for a full kid weekend and last weekend was just what you needed to be refreshed!
    Love the wallpaper!
    What about a long phone charger for Hayden? Socks? A new brush to do the popular fluffy boy hairstyle? A Flowbee to dry their hair that way? Lol!

  3. I love Hadley’s wallpaper! And I have never heard of Lego flowers, so I had to click the link to see what it was. They’re so cool looking! No wonder she wanted some. I know what you mean about getting back to a full weekend; I’ve had two that were so boring, because of sickness. I know you must have struggled yesterday by missing your alarm, I hate it when I do things like that! I actually hate being rushed in general, so I know you were glad to make it through the day!

  5. Ooh, that wallpaper!! So pretty. We are considering some textured wallpaper for our front entry way, and some for the boys’ bathroom. I feel like no one did wallpaper for so long, so I’m glad it’s back.
