Today's Feature is Queso White Chicken Chili by Lydi Out Loud.

I like to share a little recap of my week at the start of each party:

Last weekend we had a massive ice storm... that wasn't so massive. The kids got off of school on Friday and we did get a lot of ice, but then it was cloudy on Saturday and the temperature stayed just barely above freezing on Sunday and we didn't get the 3 days of freezing rain that was predicted. I was excited, because I had made reservations at The Tavern for Brian's birthday and we didn't have to cancel them. I got the Surf & Turf sampler for my meal and it was SO tasty! On Thursday, Nathan had his last Pinewood Derby and he went with a Star Trek theme for his car.

My main focus of the week was decorating our new IKEA shelves. Oh my goodness, those shelves can hold a lot! These two photos are sneak peaks, but I plan to do the FULL reveal of how I decorated them on January 31st! I can't wait! CommercialSilk sponsored some lovely grass pots for me to add to the shelves and you'll hear more about that in my future post! Brian was out of town for work for a few days this week and it kept me mighty busy with the kids and of course they had a lot of activities in the evening after school. Brian always brings us back gifts when he travels and I hope you tuned into my Instagram Stories to see what he brought back for us!

My Invisalign Journey (Trays 9-15) and Progression Photos

Today I am going to share a little more about My Invisalign Journey with you. Back in May, I shared my first Invisalign post HERE and talked about my first 8 trays with Invisalign. Today I am going to share some information and progression photos for Trays 9-15. And, no, I am not done with Invisalign yet. After your first round of trays (I had 15 trays), they start revision trays. Unfortunately, I found out I have 18 revision trays... I am currently on tray 3 of those. I will continue to share updates as my progress continues. I talk about why I went with Invisalign and what the entire process was like in my first post (see link below). I am not going to repeat it all in this post, but I will share my progression photos with you. If you have any questions, be sure to let me know in the comments.

Beyond Thrilled to see SO many #ShowYourMug Photos! Recently I worked with Community Coffee on a Giveaway, where you would have a chance to win a year's worth of free coffee in exchange for showing your mug and tagging me and Community Coffee on Instagram.

I was so excited every time one of you tagged me and I got to read about your favorite mug! Running Goal I started training for my 10th (that's crazy!) half marathon yesterday! I haven't really set any specific goals for myself with half marathons, except to try to PR. However, I haven't PR'ed my 2:06 time in a couple years! After training ...

Monogrammed Tulip Wreath w/ Burlap Bow {12 Months of Wreaths}

Welcome back to 12 Months of Wreaths! Hi everyone! Welcome back to our third month of 12 Months of Wreaths! I have been seeing a lot of tulip wreaths lately and I wanted to try my hand at making one myself. Wow, this wreath looks complicated, but it has been one of my quicker wreaths that I have made. I kept it simple, with a burlap bow on one side with tulip buds cascading out on both sides. I also added a script monogram 'A' to the other side. The tulip buds are already starting to pop up in my yard, so this wreath couldn't have been made at a more perfect time! Welcome to 12 Months of Wreaths - March!
