January & February, according to instagram

It's been a while since I've done an update about the two of us. We're still alive... barely.

 Stephen has been swamped with school and church callings and I've been working 24/7 and fighting off one thing after another. Currently it's a sinus infection that's been keeping me in bed and out of the kitchen. Sad, I know! Thankfully I was still able to attend the Build Your Blog Conference with my sister-in-law Emily. We had such a fun time meeting new people and learning some great tips for our blogs. The highlight of the conference (at least for me) was getting to meet Maria from Two Peas & Their Pod and Amanda from Kevin & Amanda- you can see our picture with them here. Anyway, I thought I'd share some snapshots of what we did during January and what we've been up to this February.

January started off with freezing temperatures and a lot of snow // It piled up in a matter of hours!

I made one of my favorite kinds of pot stickers- gyoza // I also rolled out some fresh tomato fettuccine 

The tree in our front yard was perfectly flocked with fresh powder // Piles of snow at the grocery store

Stephen's friends from Florida came to visit/ski and James brought everyone t-shirts of himself :)

Out playing in 10+ inches of snow // We had icicles growing outside of our kitchen window

Stephen found a friend at Scheels // We made a Krispy Kreme run... love those glazed blueberry ones!

Being crazy with Mandy at the My Recipe Magic launch party // Date night with Stephen

Baking with Blondie // Making French macarons with Mandy at work (Sur La Table)

I just wanted to thank you for being so patient when things have been slow. Hopefully within the next few days I will start feeling better and things will get back on track- fingers crossed!
