Hi friends! I’m back from my 2nd leadership class of the year. I’m starting to find a rhythm with traveling out of town for work. I have two sessions coming up in March and then we get a break in April.
I’m not the biggest fan of Valentine’s Day but I made sure to get boxes of candy for my kids and my oldest enjoyed a daddy-daughter sweetheart dance at school this week! My mom took the kids for my husband and me to enjoy a belated Valentine’s Day dinner.
If you’re wondering, this sums up how I feel about the holiday.

I love The Lumineers !! And I want to watch We Live In Time but ugh, I don't want to cry
I want watch We Live in Time so badly but I’m also so nervous about it. I know it will absolutely devastate me.
Also, World Market is possibly one of my absolute favorite stores.
