This is dinner with hungry boys! Last night, we celebrated the Chinese Lunar New Year with @officialpandaexpress to indulge in their newest menu addition: Firecracker Shrimp! Large succulent shrimp with veggies and whole dried chilis, wok-tossed in a savory black bean sauce, give flavor that embraces the spirit of Lunar New Year festivities!
.
.
.
While dining, we played together and chatted about some of the fun and long-standing traditions of the Lunar New Year! It was AWE.SOME. and such a memorable dining experience for sure! .

Hop over to my stories to find out how to win a $50 Panda Express gift card for your fam jam to celebrate and enjoy the fiery new dish!

Happy Saturday from my two tiny ones ♥️ We’r

Happy Saturday from my two tiny ones ♥️ We’re slowly adjusting to a party of 6 over here and it’s surprisingly going really well (as I knock on ALL of the wood in our home 😂)! No one told me though, that recovery, yes even vaginal, after a fourth baby would be an entirely different scenario than the first three. I knew it would be different but, I had no idea just how different it would be. So, here’s to padsicles and Motrin! 🥂

...and then there were S.I.X. ♥️ Decker Lee ♥️ If you’re currently contemplating adding another to your tribe-I say DO IT. There is nothing greater in this world than the love another baby brings into your family. There is no anxiety too strong to outweigh the happiness and mental peace I have now that this sweet boy is here. THANK YOU to every single person sitting unread in my DM’s, texts, and inbox! SERIOUSLY. I don’t think I could ever express how grateful I am for every single one of you and I promise to get back to everyone as soon as I can! Birth story to come soon 🙌🏻 For now, I’m taking in every little tiny bit of our little Deck ♥️

BUMPDATE: In case anyone is wondering (sarcasm because I see you all messaging me asking if baby is here yet 😂#thankyou ) your girl is still VERY pregnant. 💁🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ The anxiety has, for the most part, lifted and I’m at the point of PAST ready to hold and smell our baby. 2cm, head down facing left, 50% but, still -3 (even though it feels like there’s an army of toy soldiers battling it out deep down in my cervix every day). The boys ask every day when baby is coming which has only gotten sweeter and more filling for my heart ♥️ Like with all of my babes, 38 weeks checks me out mentally and physically and I’m just at the point of making through each day while feeding tiny humans burnt toast and cereal for breaky, lunch, and din AND still staring at our Christmas tree that has zero plans on leaving our living room any time soon😂 I’ll be back to regular posting hopefully sooner than later (whenever baby arrives!)!! Thank you ALL for checking in ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ It means more than you could EVER know! Love, a very pregnant Debbie Downer 😂😂 #noshame #pregnancy #pregnantmama #pregnant #40weeks #birthingball #laboranddelivery #duedate #pregnantbelly #contractions

Spending our day today soaking up every ounce as a fiver family before baby comes. (Check stories for some of the highlights from our morning.) These (less than) next two weeks I anticipate will be exhausting and full of anxiety so, the unplanned, spontaneous day doing some of the things we absolutely love doing as a fam jam has been so needed. What do you do to mentally prepare yourself and your littlest for change this big? .

This is it, friends! The VERY LAST 12 hours to get everything cooked, wrapped, picked up, hunted down, and purchased. It’s also the VERY last day to take advantage of the ULTIMATE HOLIDAY OUTLET SALE at @orlandointpo. If you’re like me and save stocking stuffers until last-#OrlandoIntPO is the place to do it! Download the MyPark app, reserve a spot, hop into the largest Old Navy in Florida for $1 cozy socks (like these matching family ones!) and cheap underwear then, grab all the Disney Parks candy at the Disney Character Warehouse and call it a day! Merry Christmas Eve to ALL of our friends here!

One of the greatest gifts we can give our children

One of the greatest gifts we can give our children is allowing them to explore their imagination. [AD]
.
.
For years, we were ridiculed for “not giving our kids enough toys” and being too strict about not gifting them
meaningless things that would be played with once or twice after Christmas, only to be retired to a Goodwill bin not long after. Finally, we took a stand and requested things that bring value to their life when it comes time for gifting.
Things they can share and play TOGETHER, toys that get them outside, experiences, or items that encourage their brain to do a little dancing. .
.
With three boys, you can imagine the amount of things that collect quickly here.
So, finding a gift that they all enjoy while also opening their mind to creative ideas is HUGE. That’s what we love about MOLUK Oogi Family. Who knew that a little stretchy, suction cup family would bring so much joy and imagination to 3 wildly untamed boys?! Not only has the Oogi Family given me sanity in the car during this busy season (they go with us EVERYWHERE now and stick to
windows y’all, without adding any residue PLUS-they don’t take batteries or make any noise 😂) but, they’ve also kept the boys happy and silly while I wrap, bake, and clean for the holidays! .
.
Since they stick to almost any surface, stretch, and are basically unbreakable, they’ve become part of our daily play!

Y’all. This week 🤚🏻 The other day I said I

Y’all. This week 🤚🏻 The other day I said I’m opting out of the entire week before Christmas next year. It’s official. I let the big man know and told him my Christmas wish for next year is to totally forego the week before Christmas 2020. This sweet boy went from all smiles yesterday to puking with stomach pains from the early evening into this morning. For anyone who has never had a sick kid who’s head is buried in a trash can on their bedroom floor-This is when ANXIETY gets REALLLLLL. It’s what I like to call: “The Pre-Virus, Virus”. The whole, mentally counting down until it hits the next kid, on the very likely chance that it wasn’t just food related, anxiety. Tossing up the white flag again today. 🏳️ Mostly thankful today for Target Drive-Up and Uber Eats. 🙌🏻 (Can you say, Lysol wipes and noodle soup?!)
