Hey Everyone!
HAPPY FRIDAY! I’ve teamed up with some of my favorite girls, Narci and Andrea, and we’re hosting a fun FRIDAY FAVORITES link-up! We’d love for you to join us next week. 🙂
I have some family fun mixed in with some reader e-mails/questions for you today.
Let’s get started…
Every year the teachers at the big kids’ elementary school go caroling around the neighborhoods. They post what time they’ll be at each location. They are transported via a school bus all decked out with Christmas lights. The teachers are all sporting lots of red and green. It’s just a fun, festive night! And it’s a great way to meet your neighbors with school age kids!
The teachers sang three quick songs for us. They gave out some hugs and then hopped on the bus to head to the next stop.
We mingled and chatted for a bit before we called it a night.
If you’re a teacher/administrator, I’d highly recommend you suggesting this for your school. The Slaughter six give it six thumbs up!

On Wednesday, I went to grab Britt from the gym {please note her “CHEESE” face} and Madeley Shull started fake crying on me. She said that she wanted to go with Ya-Ya {what she calls me}. You guys! I was like putty in her hands. She could have asked me for a pony at that exact moment and I would have found a breeder! It was in the moment that she wiped a pretend tear from her eye that I decided to spring her from the childcare. I’m actually proud of myself for not having two chocolate milks pictured above. It’s because Madeley didn’t think to ask for it. #icanttellthatgirlno
One day…these two will be trouble.

Britt had a big doctor’s appointment in Dallas yesterday so we made it a family affair. Miss Britt got GREAT news! PRAISE THE LORD! And then Tab took us out for a Mexican lunch. It was a win-win for us Slaughter girls. 🙂

A sweet reader, Emily, sent me this picture this week. I LOVE it! If I’m being honest, I could probably have a couple laundry trees decorated in my house! ha! Now is the perfect time to remind you about the post earlier this week explaining how I stay sane during the holidays. Here’s a secret…I don’t do it all. During the Christmas season, laundry is the first to go. It’s all fun and games until everyone’s out of underwear. ha! You can read the entire post here.
And if you missed it, Shay and I are hosting this new link-up for 2018! We’d love for you to join us for HOW WE WEDNESDAYS!
This is the line-up…

I got two e-mails about this jacket Tab is wearing. I thought if two of you were asking a couple more might be wondering too. I got this jacket for him last year for Christmas. And it was a hit! It’s a really cute heather grey color and to be honest, I spied another dad wearing it at the park one day. And hunted him down to ask him questions. {That sounds super creepy and weird but I knew the dad so it wasn’t SO strange.} The color is really cute in person. I found the exact jacket here on Zappos.

I NEED YOUR HELP!!
Atlanta, Georgia, girls-PLEASE help me out! What are the MUSTS to do, see, and eat in your city {Family-friendly, I should add}? I think we’re staying in midtown-if that helps? I’m thinking the World of Coke looks like a must? What are your thoughts on the aquarium? I must tell you-I kind of feel like if you’ve seen one you’ve seen them all? But tell me your thoughts…is it a MUST? Has anyone done the movie tour? You guys know I love a studio tour so that caught my eye. Or do you have other recommendations? Please help me out! THANK YOU!!
I’m off to run some errands, doctor’s appointment, grocery store visit….you know all those fun Mom things. Hope you have a great weekend! XO
