I've been looking for healthy dinner dishes. Here are a few that I have found, that I think I might have to try!

What are some of your favorite healthy dinner options?

I search: for ways to make my family happy. 

I wonder: what this year will bring.

I regret: taking some things for granted...because it could all be gone in the blink of an eye!

Ball Pit

Nick and I finally got Hannah's last christmas gift set-up. We were debating on holding off for a few months so Hannah would have a 'new' toy to play with after she got tired of her other new toys, but we decided to just go ahead and put it together.

It was a ball pit from her uncle Travis. And let me just say that Hannah LOVES it! :o)

Here is Nick blowing the ball pit up. It took a long time to blow up!

It's got a little tunnel to crawl through...

And holes to look out of.

She was having a blast crawling through it.  Notice her hair and all of the static. So funny!

Snow Day!

Today is a snow day for all of us here at the Loving home! Nick took the day off from work so we get a three day weekend together! :o)

We got quite a bit of snow yesterday from a system that went through the midwest but lucky the lake effect snow we were supposed to get today seems to be holding off. Now we're just dealing with high winds and drifting snow. All I can say, is its a good thing I don't have anywhere to go. I hate driving in the snow!

So yesterday Hannah and I played like we usually do... I snapped a few photos.

I noticed yesterday too that her hair seemed to grow 2 inches over night. Her 'bangs' are now pretty much in her eyes so I am constantly brushing them out of her face. (see above photos) I think from now on I  am going to have to pull her hair back with a clippy. An excuse to buy more hair clips??? I think so! :o)

Like maybe some of these beauties! :o)

And then Hannah would, of course, need a bow holder! :oP How cute are these?
