We'll start the post with Fun Fact Friday. Which is true??? Some of you who know me well, will know this right off the bat so don't say you know for certain in your comment! 😉

1. I have a brother.
2. I have a tattoo.

Today started off a sad one. My baby girl went from acting like this yesterday morning...

goofball

...to this today....

sick sick sick

So most of today was filled with hanging out at the doctor, the pharmacy, and snuggles. She has picked up a tummy bug that is giving her the 'rea and a bad diaper rash on the side. I was already planning to bring her in today anyways because she has a cough that just won't quit. I spoke to the doctor a couple of weeks ago about it and the doctor I saw said there was nothing to do but wait it out. Well, it only got worse so I was happy we didn't see him today and finally got some help for my poor girl. I'm bummed that the tummy bug decided to piggy back ride onto the need for a doctor visit. 🙁 Hopefully she feels better soon!

After all the sickies time, the day started to look up when I cooked up some cookie cups. I got the idea from Averie at Love Veggies & Yoga. I didn't put them back in the oven so they would end up more like cups to hold candies. I plan on giving some to the hubs and also to M's nursery peeps. And some may make their way into my tummy too. 😉

And then the day looked up even more. It is doing this outside right now....

I LOVE SNOW and rarely get to see it here in Georgia so I'm enjoying it. Even if it is absolutely nothing compared to the madness some of you have been experiencing recently. It seems like tonight will be a perfect cozy night 🙂

Alright, time for me to go. The hubs is home early. Whew! I just got done baking like 20 mins ago! I'm sure he smells it though so my surprise factor won't be so great. I'll still be thrilled with the surprised joy from the nursery workers though. I hope you all have great weekends. I plan to have a mostly relaxing one. The highlight of mine will be visiting a good friend for lunch tomorrow. I can't wait to see you Lindsey! 🙂

Tired and beat. That's how you could describe my day. I've been battling a headache since last night and it didn't help that the precious girl woke up two hours earlier than normal. We did get some snuggle time in this morning and I guess its a good thing that she won't fall asleep in our bed. We have never allowed her to come into our bed for sleep, only morning snuggles. This morning, Peter brought her into our bed since she was coughing a lot last night and showed no signs of going back to sleep at 5:30 and I wasn't ready to get up. She laid by me all snuggled up for maybe 20 minutes and then proceeded to bounce around, play hide the alarm clock under the pillow, and bop me on the head in her attempts to get me moving. Oh, how I love her. 🙂

The remainder of the day has been low key as well with just getting some things done around the house and other little projects. I have to work on Sunday's lesson still too. Since I have been tutoring more, getting the lesson ready has been taking the backburner until later in the week when I'm done tutoring. This afternoon is also a full body workout with some cardio in the mix. I'm looking forward to it since it will hopefully give me some energy. Not quite sure what the remainder of the afternoon/evening holds.

Valentine's Day? What are your thoughts?

I think most people love it or are just apathetic about it. I am more in the second group. We don't usually do much for Valentine's Day and I don't really miss out on it. Although, chocolate is always appreciated so a day that warrants the giving of chocolate can't hurt 😉  Even though I am not a huge V-Day fan,  I am a romantic at heart. While I MUCH prefer the daily support and devotion that makes up a relationship and more specifically my man, romance is still nice. I think the defining characteristic of something being romantic is the surprise factor. Even the most basic and simple act of love can be huge to me if it comes as a surprise.  What, in your opinion, makes something romantic? I'm still trying to decide if I am going to do anything from Makenzie & I for Peter. I can't say what I decide here since he normally reads my posts...so you will have to wait and see 😉 Okay time to go! But before you do - check out these 2 giveaways! Carba Nada Giveaway and a giveaway sponsored by I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!
