And, they like to practice in between their weekly swim lessons. So, today I’m sharing 5 ways to practice swimming without a pool!

I’ve been drinking lots of hot beverages to keep I’ve been drinking lots of hot beverages to keep me warm during these cold Kansas days! One of my favorite drink stops is @caseys — I love that shopping there helps to support local schools, too! Every time I check out at the register, I round up my purchase to the nearest dollar to support schools grant programs. Not only are you doing good in the community, but you’re also enjoying good snacks/food in the process. Talk about a win-win. Swipe up in my Stories for more info! #AD #HereforGood

Decor is down but the kids are still in Christmas Decor is down but the kids are still in Christmas pajamas! We wear those year-round in this house 🙃 Colton has been enjoying his new Switch games and Blair has been practicing gymnastics moves on her new mats (or on the rug, or the couch, or...) 😅 When do you take your decor down? Normally mine stays up through the end of the year but I was super motivated today so I just got it done (with some help from Jonathan lol) 🙌 I linked our living room decor (including my coffee table on sale!) and the kids jammies in my @liketoknow.it (follow covetbytricia) and in my bio (tap Shop My Looks)!

Anyone else have the Christmas Sads this morning? Anyone else have the Christmas Sads this morning? 😞 I always feel a bit down the day after Christmas because it feels like all the magic is over. I think it’s extra hard this year because 2020 has been so difficult that I was really clinging to the magic of Christmas. Sending a big hug to those of you who are also feeling a bit down today! ❤️ Now I’m just focusing on looking forward to 2021!!

Thankfully, Walmart saved the day with these gift sets! 🙌 I chose Old Spice for Jonathan (love this event so it’s kind of a gift for me too lol), plus picked up gift sets for Colton, Blair, and me.

Celebrating 11 years of marriage today! 💍 We st Celebrating 11 years of marriage today! 💍 We started dating in 2005 and married in 2009. Truly shocked I found someone who could put up with me this long 🙃 Along the way we've had 2 wonderful kids, 2 houses (one fixer upper and one new build), 2 licensing exams (him CPA, me bar exam), and 2 people who've supported each other through the highest highs and the lowest lows. Lucky to have you, Jonathan! Happy anniversary ♥️.

Added a little holiday cheer to our exterior today Added a little holiday cheer to our exterior today ♥️💚♥️ Watch my Stories to see more! ✨ This isn't quite as much as we usually do since half our light strands were burnt out 😅 But we made do! I want to buy cool white lights next year and didn't want to mix new/old lights this year so we just did what we could with the warm white ones we already own. 👍 Do you DIY your decor or hire someone to hang lights? 🎄 .

Had to have a tough parenting moment with this sma Had to have a tough parenting moment with this small fry last night. 🍟 She picked out her new french fries leo for gymnastics and asked me if we could go to McDonald's after class to get some fries to eat! 🍔 I said yes as long as she was a good girl and listened to her coach. 🤸‍♀️ Normally not an issue, she loves gymnastics! Well, yesterday she had an off night and spent a lot of time crying and not participating. So, when it was time to leave, she asked me about that Happy Meal...and I had to say no. 😔 I felt bad, she cried again, and I felt even worse. But I held my ground and we ate dinner at home.
.
But I told her we would try again tonight at dance. She can wear her french fries leo again and the Happy Meal offer is still on so long as she is a good girl tonight. 🤞 I'm not above "bribing" my kiddos but I do make sure they earn the reward. I leave the offer open as long as it takes to earn because I believe in second chances (or sometimes third, fourth, or more 😝). I want to teach them to keep trying and they will master whatever they work towards--whether it's something small like a Happy Meal for a good practice, or a larger goal. 💪 .
