For the last day of winter break I tried to have some fun with the girls, and outside of a couple hours of cleaning fun in the morning (I had some post dinner party collateral damage to Clorox through).

Stir Fried Rice Noodles with Shrimp and Green Onion Vinaigrette

We rainbow loomed. We had lunch with my sister and her kids and then we went to “Frozen.” I liked it- I actually cried a little. Twice. (please don’t judge me). If you have kids or grandkids you should take them. Coco is finally old enough to easily take to a theatre and sit through the whole movie and not talk, plus they were both just SO excited. It was really cute, so I am looking forward to taking them to the Lego movie too.

And then after a long day of being out and pretty much the WORST rain storm we have had all season, I just wanted to eat a great (easy) dinner and then cuddle up in my bed with 10 magazines. My mailbox was overflowing with Elle Décor, House Beautiful, InStyle, Vanity Fair, Living, Food and Wine and US weekly (don’t judge me) The mail lady must think I am a FREAK. Did I ever tell you about my magazine addiction? I must have mentioned it somewhere since it like, a substantial part of my life! But at least I finally starting getting subscriptions (um, I have like 5 others too) so that I could get off the grocery store magazine rack crack.
