Whoa, look at this! It’s a Saturday, and here I am! It’s just because this time of year is so crazy, and I have few things from life lately that I need to share with you…
I posted this photo to Instagram and got quite a lot of questions about my boots, so I wanted to link them here for anyone looking for some awesomely cute, warm and comfortable boots for winter! They’re made for snow, so I think that means a little day trip to the snow is in order (since it never ever snows where we live)! Sam has never seen snow, either, so I think this year is the perfect time to introduce him. It’s gonna be cute, guys. Also, notice we’re in a Christmas tree lot! I’ll be sharing our home completely decked out for Christmas on Monday, so come back for that! It makes me so happy!
Next topic: football. Because I don’t know about you, but in our house, it seems like it’s on ALL. OF. THE. TIME. And let’s just say, it’s not my favorite sport. Never has been. I used to be in marching band in high school, so we always played at every home game, so I was kind of forced to go to football games, but I never actually paid attention. You know- when I wasn’t playing songs, my back was pretty much permanently turned toward the game, ha! ;) But that’s high school, isn’t it? Socializing is kind of the name of the game. ANYWAY. Fast forward to now, and my husband, who is a huuuuge fan of the game. It’s actually grown on me a bit. And like, I understand it more now, which I think really helps in enjoying any sport, really. If you have somewhat of a clue as to what is going on, well, obviously it makes you more inclined to pay attention.
Or something.
So yeah, football. It’s always on, like, allll day Sunday. And then Monday night. And then Thursdy night. (Why must it be on so often, though? I mean, really??) And eating is kind of my favorite sport, so I like to make it an enjoyable experience and put out some snacks during the games. My go-to, always, every single week, is Blue Diamond almonds. They have so many delicious flavors, they’re a great healthy alternative to your normal “game day snacks”- you know, chips and dip, fried everything, frozen whatever… Yeah. Almonds are where it’s at. And the smokehouse flavor is SO GOOD. Plus, if we do end up polishing off an entire can, we don’t feel as bad as doing the same with some potato chips, you know? Because, almonds! They’re actually good for you! :)
And we all know eating is the best part of any sport, right? Right.
Sam is finally nearly over this awful cold he’s had. It is SO SAD to see him so unhappy. :( But it does mean more cuddles, so I guess that has been a silver lining.
I hope you’re having a great weekend! See you on Monday with a little festive home tour! :)

Look at that bump! You look ready to pop! Football isn’t my favorite either, I never could quite understand the rules… And tackling… Just why? Prayers for you and the baby. xo
Yeah, I’m getting better at understanding… It helps when you have a very patient person watching with you, answering all of your questions… haha! ;) And thanks for the prayers, girl! <3

Those boots= ahh! Your blog is dangerous for my wallet ;)
Gorgeous photo of you and Sam! And as always, lots of prayers for your future bundle of joy!
My friend explained football to me in high school and it definitely helped. Considering 98% of my office is boys, its nice to be able to get them to talk about something other than work :)
Haha! Sorry!! ;) And thank you for your prayers- that means the world to me!! <3

I am so glad you shared your Sorel boots. I am going on a trip to Quebec with 35+ middle schoolers in the end of February and I was told it is FREEZING there that time of year. I have Ugg boots but those aren’t the best (I would think) in that kind of condition plus snow. I have been debating about ordering them because I normally don’t spend that much $$ on shoes but everyone I ask recommends Sorel! Thanks!
Yes- I HIGHLY recommend them! They are the PERFECT snow boot! Last time I went to the snow, I wore my Uggs and my Hunters (because those are the only cold weather shoes I owned) and neither are that great for snow… Hunters (or any rain boots) aren’t warm enough and Uggs get ruined when they get wet! Also, BLESS YOU for going on a trip with that many middle schoolers… Oy! ;) That takes some guts haha
