Happy Friday to you! We’re off to dance class this morning and Arden is beyond excited to wear the Elsa tutu that Gigi got her for Christmas. Hopefully you’ve got something equally as exciting to look forward to today 🙂
“we’re treated like royalty here…sometimes go twice a day” 🙂
Along with the rest of the world, we’ve been watching Making a Murderer on Netflix. We finished last night (after a few late nights binge-watching) and I just can’t stop thinking about it. These poor families (on both sides) and all that they’ve endured–and continue to endure. And Brendan…gosh, his story breaks my heart into pieces. I hope they find justice in both cases.
I firmly believe that backpack diaper bags are the way to go! When I first got my boxy backpack I felt a little dorky and middle-schoolerish, but I got over it quickly when I realized how nice it was to have two free hands while caring for children!five.
A couple of days ago Arden came up to me out of the blue and said “Mommy, Daddy has a girl on his phone…and her name is Goooooogle!” Apparently Chris has been using the “Okay Google” function a little too much lately! Should I feel threatened?! 😉
Happy weekend everyone!

I heard about the Chick-fil-A valet too and I fell in love with them just a bit more. How awesome is that? Cam got Do A Dot markers for Christmas too and loves them. I've been creating my own sheets for him to mark just by putting letters, etc on it, but I need to print some actual pictures for him to do.

Making a Murderer – so so crazy! My husband and I just finished this week and all I can say is wow. I feel so bad for both families as well and really hope justice is found, especially for Brenden!
I am so buying those dot markers! I've seen them plenty of times before at my son's preschool but never bought them, I know my daughters would love them.
And that diaper backpack! I want, but oh so don't need it. You're right, where was this years ago!?

Haha, that video is the funniest thing EVER!! I wish I had known about the valet service a long time ago. Also, that backpack is SO cute! Have a great weekend, Vanessa!

Poor Brendan. So sad for him. And those dot markers look great! Are they the same as the bingo marker stamps? I always want to get some but always forget to get them and not really sure where to find them? The dollar store, maybe? Happy weekend to you!
Vanessa says
Oh I know…Brendan 🙁 I think they're kind of like the bingo marker stamps?? I got them on Amazon!
Andrea says
ooo i'll have to pick up those markers for my art-loving three year old! off topic, but can you please tell me about your kitchen countertops? we are building and your counters are perfection!
Vanessa says
Thanks Andrea!! They are quartz…Viatera Minuet! We have been sooo happy with them 🙂
Andrea says
Thank you so much! Your house is amazing!

Elizabeth Birenbaum says
I've never heard of those Do A Dot markers but that sounds like something we might need! I'm off to find out more and look up printables on Pinterest!
