Snow days, sneak peeks and other favorites

Happy Friday!

Our area was forecasted to get some snow this week so it’s been nice and low-key around here.  And it couldn’t have come at a better time for us.  David was able to get a ton of grad school work done without the pressure of working also.  I was able to clean the house and get some things rolling on a new project I have in mind for the blog.

Here’s how we spent our snow days…

Side note: I can’t listen to that song anymore without hearing Sandra Bullock from The Proposal chanting it with Gammy.  #classic

Snow days feel like so much more of a vacation than days that are scheduled to be off.  Because there’s never any plans and it’s the perfect excuse to just cozy up in the house.

Yesterday I wrote about my Rodan + Fields experience and how it can make your skin crazy soft.  Kristin wrote about her experience and how it completely changed her skin.  If you want a sample sent to your mailbox, send Shannon an email @ SLS5759@aol.com.

Screen Shot 2015-02-15 at 8.57.59 PMWednesday night was the Carolina/Duke game.  We won’t talk about the outcome but can I just tell you about Copper?  He was cracking me up the whole time.  David yells at the refs, the players, the coaches.  Not the whole time but every once in a while.  And Copper just stands in the way the entire time and won’t lay down.  Usually when we’re watching TV, he’s passed out.  Not during the Carolina/Duke game.  He just stands there and stares at David.  It’s like he knows something is going on but he doesn’t know what.

Screen Shot 2015-02-19 at 6.45.34 PM This whole baked potatoes in the crockpot?  How am I just now learning about it?  Because it was literally the easiest thing I’ve ever done.  I just thought I would try it out to see if it worked.  Sometimes I’d rather come home and have dinner within 15 minutes of walking in the door instead of having to wait an hour for the potatoes to cook.  Genius.  I’ll be using this one all the time.

Also.  How do people make these selfie outfit pix look good?

I’m off to Greenville, SC to hang out with Kaitlyn this weekend.  We’re going to make lots of decisions for her new house!!

What do you have planned?

    • We had so much fun. I’m sure I would be tired of it, too if we had had it for months. This was our first round of snow.

  • We’ve been stuck at home since we came back from our vacation on Monday. We’re all going a little stir crazy. Looking forward to finding out more about your new blog adventures. ~Cynthia

    • Oh, I bet! I had so many things I need to check off my list so it was the perfect chance for me to finally get them done. I’m excited for some new adventures, too. I’ll keep ya updated!

  • OMG the dog!! That is the funniest thing ever! And girl!! I have GOT to try the whole potato thing.

    • The baked potato-crockpot thing… I have no idea why I took so long to do it. Now I can have baked potatoes ready when I get home from work. And Copper is cray cray.

  • Sounds like the perfect snow day! Especially the throwback jamz and the baked potatoes!! Such a great idea. Have fun this weekend!!

    • Haha, I’m so glad someone else loves the throwback jamz!! David just rolls his eyes at me as I attempt to white-girl rap them. And YES on the crock-pot baked potatoes. So easy!

  • Loving how you both do snow days! Looks like a fun and relaxing time. That hot chocolate looks amazing! Love all these photos. Cannot wait to see what you do with you site!

    • I’m really excited for some new things I’m bringing to F+F soon! The snow days were the perfect chance to get some things started.

  • Your snow day looks like so much fun! I love baked potatoes in the crock pot- so simple and tasty! Can’t wait to hear more about your new blog adventure! :)

    • This was the first time I had tried the baked potatoes in the crock pot and I’m pumped at how easy it is and that now I can have a baked potato when I walk in the door instead of planning that meal around a night when I know I’ll be home early. I’m really excited for some new things around here! I’ll keep you updated.

  • The crockpot is the best thing ever. I love how the recap of the snow day. Can’t go wrong with throwback jams & hot chocolate.

    • Right? It was so much fun.

  • Totally agree with Get Low and The Proposal! “Balls? You thought about balls?” #GammyIsTooCute #RyanReynoldsIsCuter

    Oh Copper!!! Love that crazy dog!

    • Love that movie!! Balls? That’s what came to your heart?

  • The snow days this week were really nice! And wasn’t that Carolina/Duke game great??? (*cough cough woohoo!) Hope you have a great weekend! Thanks for linking up with us again at H54F!!

    • Thanks Danielle. I’m really excited about it! I spent most of my weekend planning, dreaming, thinking and talking about it :)

  • So SO excited to see what you’ve come up with! Also, I’m with you on the selfies! And… how are we not friends on snapchat yet? Hope you had a great weekend! xo

    • Seriously, how are we not? Because you’re missing out on a lot of ugly faces. That’s pretty much 90% of my snapchats! I’m so excited for some new adventures coming to F+F! It’s kind of all I can think about.

  • We have had more snow this week then we have since I was in elementary school! It’s been a little crazy. I’m glad to see you all have been having some nice snow days! And good luck with your new project:)

    Thanks for linking up with us!
