Hello! It’s been awhile (again), when life gets chaotic the blog is the first think I press pause on. And well, its been total chaos over here.

As always, I’m linking up with Erika and Andrea to share some favorites. I’d say from the week, but really it’s the last month;)

How did Ellie get this old? She had a school dance last weekend. Ellie taller than her momma in heels is her favorite;) The years are so short friends….

Valentines boxes will always be my favorite to make. This one was fun! And yes, the dress may say fries before guys;)

The neighborhood cat is our favorite animal currently. She requires minimal attention, and is so sweet. The girls named her Annie because…orphan:)

Ellie has passed all her personal reading records, and reached a new word count for the school year. Her ELA teachers in middle school have been the best at encouraging her and we are thrilled she still loves reading so much.

If your local (Southern Illinois) and are looking for something to do this weekend, Ellie will be in this. She is super excited (and tired;) and we are excited too. These shows they put on are always full of talent and we are proud to live in a district that is so supportive of their performing arts program. Tickets are still available for all 3 shows.

That’s it for today. Have a great weekend!
