fun inside our snow globe

Such a sweet picture of Daddy's 3 helpers!

Our February date was a home date, we had fondue and watched the movie "Old Fashioned" 

When our "year of dates" is done, I think this one will be at the top of our favorites list!

My friend Marie told me about this cool website with thousands of free workout videos, you can search for the type of workout you are looking for (HIIT, Yoga, Strength, Cardio, etc) and well as length of workout and area you want to focus on. It's called Fitness Blender and it's too good not to share if you're looking for a little variety in your workouts. 

We went to Paint a Pot on Presidents Day and the kids loved painting the pieces they picked out. 

she did so good for only being 2!

Such concentration 

a new twist on sledding :)

A yummy Wildtree dinner, buffalo shrimp tostadas 

JoJo gave herself a pedicure on our snow day last week! I think she could use a little practice :) 

Helping make "Blankets for Brenham" at Grandma L.'s house

Family game night; I found this Sharp Shooters game at a thrift store and the whole family had so much fun playing!

LOVING "Fuller House" so much!

We took a ride to the beach Saturday, the kids had a blast swinging and playing on the dunes, but it was COLD!

Sadler had a fun day being the star helper at school on Monday!

All dressed up as a "bulldozer man" for career day at school on Wednesday 

my breakfast date!

Thank you so much for your generous donations. It truly warmed my heart seeing them come in the mail!

Robb did such a great job being Mr. Mom while I was away for the Woven retreat, the ONLY thing he could use some improvement on is the picking out outfits department! Jovie is wearing a pajama shirt, with tights and silver sparkly shoes (in public!) haha! I thought about setting clothes out before I left, but I honestly love to see what he chooses for her! Seriously though, I'm so grateful to him. He even did the laundry and cleaned the whole house while I was gone!

when Pizza Hut is having a fundraiser for your adoption agency, you just gotta go, even if you did have pizza for dinner the past 3 days!  

2nd Target trip in one week, don't tell daddy ;)

little love bug

This was out morning devotion (from Savor by Shauna Niequist) at M.Life last week, coincidentally the one of the same passages Renne Swope taught on at the Woven Retreat the week prior. She said it's not the workload that makes you weary, it's the worry! Matthew 11:28 says "Come to me all who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest." It was so perfectly fitting as I prepared my heart to rest in his presence at the IF Gathering.  

Where, oh where did my little baby go?

So excited to be watching the IF Gathering, who else tuned in to the live broadcast either at home, or at a local event? Wasn't it amazing!?

We waited a whole year for it, and already looking forward to next years!

And just when I thought it couldn't get any more amazing, they bring in Qdoba nachos!! I sang hallelujah ;)

My "super bowl"

With such a cute, new hat we we're hoping the cooler weather would stick around, and our wish came true! The next day we got so much (too much) snow!

keeping busy on a snow day

 Perfect night to warm up with some soup and cure our cabin fever!

Throwback Thursday to 8 years ago, the first and last time I ever had the chance to see little Brenham Jay wiggle around at my 19 week ultrasound. I'm so thankful for that opportunity to see him so full of life that day. I had no idea that the next time I'd see him again, a short 2.5 weeks later, he'd be lifeless in his daddy's arms. Today, I don't picture him squirming on an ultrasound screen, or bruised and fragile in his tiny casket, I picture him dancing in fields of green, walking on streets of gold, and worshiping our Savior, the one who gave us eternal life and the assurance of seeing Brenham again one day in Heaven. 

Gray is off of school for their mid-winter break, when I asked him what he wanted to do today while Sadler was at preschool he said "go to the donate (thrift) store!" Definitely my kid!

I was given the chance to try out the Younique Moonstruck 3D Fiber Lashes by my friend Jennifer, and I jumped at the chance. I've been seeing and hearing so many amazing reviews, I couldn't wait to try it out! Mascara is my thing, I have super tiny, thin lashes and feel totally naked without mascara on. 

It comes with two tubes, the transplanting gel, and the 3D fibers. 

First you use the gel, then the fiber (which are so crazy, its like little tiny fuzz!) and then another layer of the gel. 

woah!!

The best part is they don't feel heavy at all, so light but full of volume AND length!

Younique has a Love It Guarantee which is great! I know how hard it can be to spend money on something you've never tried before, and aren't sure if you'll love, but with this guarantee you have nothing to lose if you decide it's not for you!

To check out this mascara and the other Younique products you can find Jennifer on Facebook here

and if you send her a message saying you're a WHMG reader she will add you to her VIP group for sales and special promotions. Which speaking of, there's free shipping with $50 purchase for the month of February!

*disclaimer: I was given this mascara free of cost in exchange for my honest review
