A few of our favorite toys

With Sawyer and I both being at home ALL the time, toys have become pretty important to me. Every mom can relate to those toys that your kids are excited about for about two seconds and then they are added to your stash of toys that are never touched again. I feel like that has happened way to often in this household. That is why I felt impelled to pass along a few of our favorite toys right now that we have actually gotten hours of playtime out of. The kicker.. a few of these toys I actually really enjoy playing with too. Since I have a toddler who isn't the best at playing independently it helps when I actually enjoy the toy too. 

Wedgits

I love playing with these wedgits. You can build a million different things with wedgits. In my opinion, they are kind of like a cooler version of legos. 

Design and Drill

Sawyer loves his design and drill. It comes with an electric drill that electronically drills the screws into this box. 

Konstruk Tubes

This is another one I find pretty fun. I would say this toy has gotten the most attention from Sawyer. It's easy enough for a 2 year old to build and you can design all sorts of fun things with them. 

Thomas the Train wooden puzzles

We are both obsessed with puzzles right now and this set comes with 4 puzzles in one box. We do these about three times a day and I actually enjoy doing them too. 

Mickey Mouse Scooter

Lastly his Mickey Mouse Scooter that Santa brought. We have hardwoods throughout the entire house so we have let him ride in the house. He rides it everywhere. It's only 33$ and it has lights and sounds and seems really sturdy so far. 

 If you have 2-4 year old boys I hope this provided some helpful hints on some fun new toys. I would love to hear if you have any other toys that your boys love! 

Happy Thursday! 

Rainy Wednesday..

When we woke up this morning it was dark and pouring down rain, so instead of our usual once a day outing I declared it a pajama, lazy, stay at home day. It has been perfect.


We all three laid down in my big bed to watch a movie and next thing I knew both kiddos were sound asleep on my shoulder. I would of paid mucho money to have someone take a picture of the rare scene. I did snap a few pictures from our lazy day at home. We have snuggled, painted, cooked, I watched Sawyer play on the floor with his sister for a long time.... It's been a good day :).  

 I hope that you all are having a lazy, perfect day too!

Real Life

What does my life look like during the week? Well, Here you go..... snuggles, bottles, nerf guns, puzzles, cleaning, laundry, laundry more laundry, sleepy babies, cartoons, silliness, happy baby girls, errands, dishes, books, more cartoons, potty, diapers, more snuggles, more potty, time outs, tickles, and LOTS of Lovin!


Love my days at home with these kiddos. Love that these are the things that make up my life right now. Love that day in and day out I get to wake up to two babies who unconditionally love me no matter how much I screw up the day before. Love that I get to take care of these precious lives. Our real life might seem boring to a lot of people but believe it or not, we have a ton of fun!

Happy Tuesday from our house to yours!

Howdy Partner!

Rachel with Dinner Bells always does such a FABULOUS job with her parties. She always pays attention to the details that make a party special. I love it. 

Rachel and her husband recently adopted the most adorable little boy, Seth and they have inspired me with their obedience to this calling. It is so neat to see the Lord work through situations like this. Here is their incredible adoption story.

 Seth turned 2 a few weeks ago and they threw him a Cowboy themed party that was ADORABLE. I loved everything about it. Take a look at the precious party she put together for Seth. 

How precious is Seth?? 

It looks like Seth loved every minute of this party. Thanks so much for letting me share your party Rachel!
