Milestone Week

This week has seemed monumental on many occasions at our house.

First, Marin started wearing these:

and doing more and more of this:

Then, Kaden's bottom front tooth started looking like this:

And finally we ended today looking like this:

I *sniff* on the other *sniff* hand have been *sniff* bonding with the *sniff* tissue box!

Not really, but oh my! Slow down my precious children!

I'm trying to soak it all in...let's not rush it!

When it's 16 degrees out, just looking at this picture will warm you up!

Coffee-Mate Party & Muffin Exchange

Last night I enjoyed the privilege of hosting a Coffee-Mate Flavor tasting party for a few friends. We had a smaller than anticipated turn out, but it was super fun to relax and enjoy each other's company by a warm fire over a cup (or two, or three) of coffee. I asked each of my guest to bring a dozen muffins, so we sampled the muffins along with our coffee. My guests all enjoyed sampling both new and older creamer flavors from Coffee-mate, and all of us had at least two cups of coffee. At the end of the night we bagged up a collection of the remaining muffins to take to our families. Each guest left with a fun goodie bag from Coffee-mate and I was also able to hand out two "door prizes": a nice red apron and a fancy leather bound recipe book. It was a great night and much needed after a week of crazy weather.
