About the time I’ve thrown out all the leftover candy from one holiday, another one comes along and my house feels like a sugar factory again. Jona’s sweet tooth is as bad as mine, so it’s a dangerous situation.
Here are last week’s highlights:

| They were pretty proud of the crafts they made at their cousin’s birthday party over the weekend. |
{eating}
- Balsamic Glazed Crock Pot Pork Tenderloin – I’ve been making this for years and we always love it. With green beans and mashed potatoes it was a very comforting meal!
- Flank Steak with Chimichurri – This was our Valentine’s Day dinner after the kids went to bed and it was so good!
{reading}
- Valentine’s Day picture books – We checked out Here Comes Valentine Cat and Love from the Crayons for the library to read last week and they were both too cute. Violet especially loved them.
- Once Upon a River – One of my favorite podcasts, The Girl Next Door, mentioned they were reading this book for their February book club podcast, so I decided to give it a try since it was on my TBR anyway. It’s a bit outside of my usual genre, but I really enjoyed it.
{listening}
- The Lazy Genius podcast: Your Body Is Not Flawed – Whoa. I’m not sure if it’s because it’s winter and I’ve been less active and putting on a few extra pounds, but I’ve been feeling pretty unhappy with my body lately. This podcast was exactly what I needed to hear and I am really trying to shift my mindset around body image.
- Read Aloud Revival podcast: Our Favorite Math Read-Alouds – Books are my go-to anytime I want my kids to learn more about pretty much any subject, so why should it be any different with math? As usual, Sarah and her guests had some excellent recommendations I can’t wait to read with my kiddos.
{watching}
- Ellen’s Game of Games – This is a rare show that we can watch as a family and truly enjoy together. No one loves it more than Jona though–he can’t even control himself he laughs so hard.
What have been some of your highlights lately?
