Week In Review

Well, I'm about to head back home to Louisiana. Where I'm from in Louisiana, there is very limited cell phone service and internet access. My brother and I have different opinions on this. He hates it, but I love it. I enjoy being able to unplugged, even if it's just for a week. It's something I need to make more of an effort to do when I have the access to technology.

I'll be back in a week, but until then, here's our weekly recap!

SANTA STOP HERE

Kiddo received a few different items in her Piglet stocking this week. She even got a little something to wear to the basketball game she attended on Friday. (Don't worry, the books still made an appearance!) 

BASKETBALL GAME

Kiddo loves going to the basketball game at the college I work at. She LOVES our mascot, and sometimes I think she loves him a little too much because she has a hard time sharing him with other fans. She got to go to two games this week, but since I was working one of those, we only got a few pictures from the game on Friday.

HOLIDAY PARTY

My co-worker and I were responsible for putting on our office holiday party, and it was a complete success! We were concerned about not having enough food since it was a potluck, but we had plenty of food left over. Our simple decorations also went over extremely well. All I managed to take pictures of was one of the dishes that I brought. You can tell I worked hard on this one, right?

CHRISTMAS LIGHTS

I've always wanted to go see the Christmas lights at the local botanical garden during the holidays. Kiddo's Mexican family has a restaurant close to there, so we had dinner with them and then went to see the lights. I learned from this that kiddo is not a fan of crowds, so these activities may not happen too often, but we had fun in spite of the few meltdowns.

PERSONAL PROGRESS

1) Make 2 new recipes

I found the most amazing crockpot chicken spaghetti recipe! Momma B was even impressed and took a copy of the recipe home with her because she claims it taste JUST like one that she spent hours making.

2) Read 2 books 

I didn't finish any books this week. Instead, I focused on finding a reading challenge for 2015.   

3) Complete the #Quickfit Holiday Challenge from Jessica Smith

Weeks 1, 2 and 3 completed! I plan to finish week 4 today before leaving for the holidays where I'll have limited access to internet/phones. 

4) Complete 2 crafts
