Spent Valentine’s Day at a Mardi Gras parade with friends. Gumbo and good times were had.

(Shifted plans last minute to do our tradition of homemade heart pizzas tonight instead of last night…and looking forward to it!)

We’re going to see a friend in a junior play version of Frozen tomorrow. And my kids knew very little about it. So, here we are. Fitting on this cold Louisiana day.

Went to a church tea party with my girl on Saturday. A really sweet time. She won some prizes. And she happily helped me and others clean up for an hour after it was over. 💕✨

Getting ready for a big garage sale at our church. Several of us did a LOT of work today moving and organizing things. But my kids (and their friends while they were there) did the most! And this afternoon, my babies took it upon themselves to make the “toy section” look nice. They did just that! 🤍

Closed out the Fall ball season for my bud (and Coach Matt (aka Daddy)) yesterday. Glad for it to have been and glad for it to be complete now. ⚾️❤️

Recent Thrift Finds | October 2025

These are actually more accurately recent-ish thrift finds. I think from a month or so ago. We’ll say early October. Not that that matters anyway.

Got a football for $1.

A bag of pens for, I think, $0.50. Maybe $1.00. It had Sharpies, a Microtel, tons of colorful Ink Joys, a few nice Zebra pens, several branded pens, plus some junk stuff.

A small crystal bucket (that you can’t see very well in the photo) for $2.

A picture frame for either $0.25 or $0.50.

4 books for $1.30.

And a map of Rome for $0.25.

A counter displays a football, a frame, a jar of colored markers and pens, various books, and a folded map.
