So much fun hanging w/ my mom JuJu and youngest sister over Christmas

Escaped the cold for a bit - Cabo

Happy Thursday! I haven't posted in a REALLY long time. We've been hibernating at home for a few days - no school and below zero temps. So I decided to write a post! 

Cheers to 2019! Guess what?! We are adding a puppy to our family come spring. We cannot wait! We are getting a mini Australian Labradoodle. Kids are over the moon! We did a trial run of watching my mom JuJu's dogs when we were in Montana this past summer and have been talking about one ever since. The time has come!

Some of my latest faves...

• LOVED the movie A Star is Born and I've been playing the song Shallow on repeat. The best = Bradley Cooper's surprise visit on stage w/ Lady Gaga in Vegas. LOVE! Their chemistry is UNREAL. I'm obsessed! Why A Star is Born reveals the future of the music industry. 
• PFC and I also saw Bohemian Rhapsody this past weekend. I didn't know much about Freddie Mercury before the movie. Here's a rare interview w/ him from the 80s. Rami Malek did an amazing job playing Freddie. You might remember him in Gilmore Girls! 
• Latest binges TV wise = Dirty John (heard the podcast is awesome), Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Friends from College (LOVE Fred Savage in it), The Americans (started last night!). 
• Latest books = Educated by Tara Westover, When Life Gives you Lululemons by Lauren Weisberger - a sequel to A Devil Wears Prada, Nine Perfect Strangers by Liane Moriarty. Found Educated fascinating. Currently reading Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens. Great so far! And I started The Art of Raising a Puppy by the Monks of Skete. 
• Loving my new shower cap. I wash my hair twice(ish) a week and appreciate the upgrades to the Shhhowercap. Bit pricey but will last a lot longer than the flimsy ones from the drug store. Would make a great gift!
• My new favorite pajamas = dreamy cotton pajamas from J.Crew. They are SO comfy. LOVE. J.Crew has so many sales that I typically wait until they have one to pull the trigger. I scored this set at 40% off. 
• Guess who was the top #1 trending beauty brand of 2018?! Beautycounter - wahoo!!! My favorite BC product of the moment = Overnight Resurfacing Peel. The best! Great review from a Foodie Stays Fit. Message me if you have any questions. Great skincare quiz.  
• I've never been a big new years resolution person. However, I decided that 2019 is the year that I start a yoga practice. Been LOVING the classes at this local studio = Local Yoga in Forest Park. I'm all in! Even PFC tried a class w/ me! 
• Lastly, PFC and I decided to make sure we book a date night once a month in 2019. I was inspired by the following article, They Made a New Year's resolution to have a date night without the kids every week in 2018. Our January date was last weekend - saw Bohemian Rhapsody and had dinner at Lucca's. Yum! 
• Couldn't agree more = The Smartest Parents Let their Kids Fail. I don't bring in forgotten homework. Period.
