January 31 - Unicorn Cupcakes

Happy Monday! It's a dark, dreary, drizzly here in Houston but this weekend was gorgeous. Julia, Jillian and I went to the mall on Saturday to find Julia a dress for her Valentine's Day dance. We didn't find one but Jillian had fun seeing everything at the mall. Sometimes I forget she's barely been anywhere public in the last few years so it was almost a sensory overload for her. While the girls were shopping, JD and Luke were at K1 track racing go-karts. There was a junior race going on and if Luke had been entered, he would have placed 2nd with his best time! He did a great job and won a few of his races with the other non-team kids. On Sunday, Jillian had a playdate with her friend Jemma, and then we baked unicorn cupcakes and delivered them to friends. Great weekend all around. And it was the first weekend all month that JD hasn't worked so it was great to have him home helping with the kiddos.

January 26 - Green Goddess

It's a rare sighting folks...yours truly, dressed up in heels. I was in Tampa this past weekend for our Global Sales Meeting, our first in 2 years. This meeting is usually very upbeat, positive and fun to attend but this one was pretty stressful with long work days. I was able to dress up for an awards dinner on Saturday night. Fun fact-I bought this dress for $30 at a craft fair in November, great find!

Some of my work colleagues (all vaccinated :) ):

 

January 24 - Keystone

Happy January everyone! I am behind on the blog because work has been bananas. We spent New Years at Keystone with Bryan and had a blast! I booked the trip last minute so we were in a condo complex called The Flying Dutchman that was more like the Flying Dumpman (I can't take credit for that, someone used that on a blistering TripAdvisor review of the complex LOL). The condo itself wasn't the best but we were on the free bus route and were able to quickly get to/from the slopes with ease. Our first full day there, we went sledding and everyone had an absolute blast! The next two days, the kids did ski school and loved it.

Julia and Luke were able to take the chairlift up to the top of the mountain and ski with us afterwards which was really fun. Jillian spent her time on the magic carpet but she loved it! Our last day, we went into the main village and walked around. The weather was beautiful although super cold! It was -16 the night before we left and -9 when we drove out. The main highway was closed due to ice so we had to take winding mountain roads, which was not fun without snow tires but JD did a great job driving. The windshield did completely crack it was so cold but we made it home in one piece. Great time!!

So fun!!
