Tuesday Talk

Winter has officially hit us!  It took a while for it to find us, but it's found us.  This morning I woke to these temps.

Yeah...I think it's time to start planning our trip to Florida! ;)

I thought this was very appropriate for today...

So very very true!

Christmas is officially over at our house.  Yesterday I spent the afternoon taking everything down.  If you read my post yesterday about getting Organized, then you will get this.  If you didn't read it, you can find it HERE.  

I bought all new totes, and I labeled them with all of it's contents inside =)   Much more organized than I have ever been with all my Christmas decorations!  

Yesterday I finally caved and bought the iPhone 6.  

After 2 years with the iPhone 5c, it was so time for an upgrade!

I have to share with you all my Facbeook status last night.  Alyx had us laughing so hard =)

She is obsessed with Doc, and always playing Doc, but last night was the first time she said she had a diagnosis! ha =)

I hope you all have a great Tuesday!  And as always linking up with some fab bloggers for Tuesday Talk!

Goals {2016}

Happy first Monday of 2016!!  I hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year!  We had a very laid back New Years Eve this year since Brian and I had to work the next day.  None of us saw the ball drop, and I think that is the first time I haven't watched it in about 10 years!  I may have taped it though so Emma and I could watch it the next day, hehe =)
Today I'm focusing on my goals for 2016.  I really don't like the word resolution, So I haven't set any "resolutions" for 2016, but rather Goals.  My goal is pretty simple...well kind of...you'll see! ha!  

So my goal for 2016 is to "Get Organized"!

My goal is to get Organized.  Not just me, but all of us and our home.  I feel like i'm always looking for something, and not remembering where I put it last.  I also feel like I have a hard time keeping track of all of Emma's school activities and sports.  I finally caved and ordered a PlumPaper planner and I'm hoping that this will keep me more organized.  It honestly can't get here soon enough ;)

So my number one thing that I struggle with, that is going to be my main goal is...

l.a.u.n.d.r.y

I feel like i'm always always always doing laundry.  And i'm sure most all of you feel the same way.  But I need to find a routine somehow so that it's not all piling up.  I could do laundry all day, but my biggest problem is getting it folded.
So yes, my goal is get more organized and figuring out a good routine for laundry.  What can you all share for tips and tricks?  What is your routine when it comes to laundry?  And how do you keep yourself, family and home organized??

I hope you all have a great Monday!!

2015 {Favorites}

And just like that, 2015 has pretty much come and gone.  This year went by so crazy fast.  We had our ups and downs this year, just like anyone else, but overall we had an amazing year.  Today I am linking up with the ladies from Friday Favorites, Narci, Andrea & Erika, and sharing my Favorite Moments of 2015.

January brought us a lot of snow!  Like a ton.  Emma spent a lot of time outside playing in it!

Alyx went outside in it just a couple of times...just way too cold for her!!  As much as I really don't like the cold and snow, I love that Emma has so much fun playing in the snow. 

Emma got her ears pierced this year!  Way back in January.

Sadly, in June they got infected and we had to take them out.  She looked so cute with them in =)

One of our very FAVORITE moments of 2015 was our trip to Disney!  We drove from Maine to Florida, and we had an absolutely amazing time.  

In June it brought a few days at camp.  The girls always have so much fun playing in the lake there.

Well, Alyx isn't too fond of the lake, but she always had fun playing in the sand =)

July was a fabulous month!  The weather was great!!
The fourth of July we spent at my parents house.

We also took a trip the Ocean for a day.

And then there was August.  August I miss you.  Especially right now with all the snow and cold weather we have.

We pretty much spent every single night at the pool  I'm not lying when I say I cannot wait for these evenings again!!!

In September, we celebrated Emma's 9th Birthday, and it was all about Harry Potter!

In September Emma also started 4th Grade.  Crazy!!!

She is growing up just wayy wayy too fast!!

September and October we spent many many evenings and weekends at Field Hockey.

One of our favorite things we did this year was take a walk at the Bog Walk.  Both girls had fun!

October I took photos of the girls that will forever be my favorite of the girls I think.  

Halloween was fun with the girls this year.  Alyx wasn't too fond of dressing up, but she was a good sport ;)

In November, Alyx turned 2!!  We celebrated with a Doc McStuffins party!

And lastly, my most favorite moment of 2015 was just being with family.  We are healthy and I am thankful for that.  We had a really great 2015, and I'm excited to see what 2016 has in store for us.  I hope you all have a great Happy and Safe New Year!!!  See you in 2016!! =)
