February

depending on if you've ever been to church with our family or not, you may know that I have carried a green flowered bag to church with everyone's 'church stuff' in it since Connor started bringing a Bible with him... so... for a long time.  In February that changed!  I made bags for each kid to carry their own stuff!

a winter-time favorite - warm up blankets in the dryer for a few minutes and have some reading time underneath warm covers.
