Hello, loves! The holiday break is coming to, and end and I for one could not be happier. Don’t get me wrong. I love having my son home. He was a great help to me while I transition from a stay at home mom to working at home mom. More about that below!
Grateful Sunday: Last Week Of Holiday Break
The holiday break was fantastic! We had so many family members and friends come over to visit. Lots of cleaning, lots of delicious food and lots of fun! I’m missing all the holiday food now that we are back to our regular meals!
We’ve gotten a lot of snow in the last few weeks and when it wasn’t -100 degree outside, I took the kids out on the sled. Fun times.
I should add that we spend more time getting dressed for outside than actually playing outside.
New job alert!
So yes, I started a new job. Something from home that I let me choose my hours. It doesn’t pay a lot, but it’s enough for spending money and the bills. My daughter is still trying to adjust with me sneaking off for a few hours. Her little face lights up when she sees me! Which I think is priceless. Almost makes me forget the fact that she doesn’t let me do anything when I’m there with her.
Crockpot, oh how I’ve missed you!
One of the gifts that I receive for Christmas was a crockpot. Let me tell you something; it’s freaking ah-mazing!! I’ve been using it all week, and it is a HUGE time saver! If you have recipes, I would LOVE to give them a try.
What fun things did you do during the holiday break? Thank you for stopping by and reading my blog.

You can actually find a lot of crock pot recipes on the web. My brother bought me an instapot in 2013 and to this day I tell him that it’s the best gift he’s ever given me EVER! It’s a life and time saver. BTW congrats on the new job. I’m getting bored at home and think I might need something extra to do this year, especially since we’re cutting back on traveling.

Crockpots are the best. THE BEST! I cook everything in the crockpot if I can. It’s such a massive time saver.

LOL. Isn’t that always the way? You spend the bulk of the time getting geared up for the cold, play for five minutes, and then you have to rush back in.

You totally crack me up when you said it took longer to get dressed and actually how long you stayed outside. That sounds so familiar. We had a great Christmas also and just hung out with our family.

Sounds like you had a nice wintertime break. And you got much more snow than we did! Usually we get lots of snow in Upstate NY, but not last year or this year so far…
I remember the toddler days when my kids didn’t let me get anything done either 🙂 Sometimes you just have to embrace it!
Crockpots are amazing! I need to use mine more. Anyway congrats on your new job and the ability to work from home. That’s big!

YES! sledding is awesome, it’s so much fun (got to get out there every year!) congrats on the new job… sounds like you’ve got good things to be thankful for, smiles all around : )
I love my crock pot. I am always looking for new recipes to try in it. This break flew by so fast.
I can not believe how fast this Holiday season flew by. These are adorable photos of your family.
I have decided to have a little bit of Christmas all year long. I love the holidays and plan to carry the spirit with me throughout the year. Your kids are dolls! so cute!
I also got a crockpot last Christmas, but I haven’t tried it yet. I am also on the look out for more recipes.
I love using my crockpot especially during the winter months. So many choices can be cooked in there.
I love my crockpot, it’s an easy way to prepare a meal. So happy for your new job, nothing can beat the opportunity of working from home. Good luck!

It sounds like you had a blast the last week of the holiday break. I know when my kids were younger and on school break we would play outside a lot. Sledding and snowboarding is what my kids and us loved to do. Your little one looks so cute and you are so lucky to have your son there to help you with her. The crock pot is indeed a handy item when you are a busy mom. Thanks for sharing your last weekend of holiday break.
We moved over the holiday break. Because of the move, it seemed like the holidays flew by so quickly. I can’t wait until the summer time so that I can spend time with the boys again.

It has been awhile since I’ve used my slow cooker, but I need to get back into the groove of using it. By the way, congrats on the new job! 🙂
I love my Crock Pot! Total lifesaver. Congrats on the new job! I work from home blogging and freelancing and it’s tough with the kids.
Do you have any suggestions for crock pot recipes? I had one last October and I haven’t really used it yet, haha. I also have some part time work at home and so long as it pays for the necessities, I’m doing fine.
Congrats on your new job. I’m sure you’ll get a lot of use out of your crockpot. I’d be lost without mine. Your daughter is absolutely precious.

Totally agree with you about the crockpot. I love mine too! We went to New York City during the Holiday break and we had a blast. Happy 2017!
I love my crockpot. I don’t use it as much as I should. Not much went on here over winter break. A whole lot of working!
