Here’s What I Have to Say:

I’m Thankful For…

November 3, 20110 Uncategorized
There are a ton of fun things you can do for November/Thanksgiving to show what you are thankful for. I decided to do this: I just wrote on a piece of paper and stuck it to a vase. Then I cut up some colored card stock, placed a pen next to it and voila! I... ...

Rawr….I’m A Monster

November 1, 20111 Maddie
Maddie was a monster for Halloween. I figured I only have this year and maybe next to pick what she is without her telling me what she wants to be. So I found this blue monster costume (which matches her eyes perfectly!) and added a pink bow to one of the horns. My mom babysat... ...

Pumpkin Carving…Kind Of

November 1, 20110 Maddie
I didn’t think Maddie was going to be much into carving pumpkins, but after a visit to my mom’s house and Maddie’s fascination with her pumpkins, I thought I should cut one open and see what Maddie thought of them. Here is Maddie enjoying my mom’s pumpkins that my brother and his friend carved. (WARNING.There... ...

Sweet & Spicy Chicken

October 18, 20110 Food
I am a little behind in the food times, but I just recently learned the joy of sweet & spicy chicken. I first learned of this from the sweet & spicy wings from Applebee’s. After having these (and making “mmm” noises the whole time I ate them), I decided to find a recipe and try... ...

Time hasn’t halted. It is still flying by. Which means that my little peanut is 8 months old already! She is such a sweet little girl. We are so lucky to have such a happy, social, fun baby! She started saying “mamamama”. She was saying only this consonant for a long time. She says it... ...

A Great Decade

Play Dates

October 5, 20110 Maddie
We have had a couple play dates with Trisha and Chelsea lately. A few weeks ago, they came over and played. Both girls were really into eating puff cereal. Trisha took out a container of them, and both girls went over to her and looked at her like they were little puppies begging for food.... ...

Tree Fort

State Fair

September 14, 20110 Food, Maddie

Instagram post 2196767821181305582_3514876 So one of Maddie’s latest hobbies is taking illustrations from books (her favorite is @goraina illustrations) and re-drawing them. 😳 And she’s amazing! I can barely draw a smiley face that looks nice! So I wanted the world to see her amazing drawings. I have a few others to post next. I’m constantly amazed by her! ✏️💛

I'm @minihays. Book lover📚❤️ Includes 📚 I've read, 📚 read with my kids (👩🏽8,👧🏽6,👦🏼4) & other book related stuff. 1⭐️-5⭐️.

Instagram post 2196759549938300965_7332105521 I finished this book today. I’ve been reading it off and on (and listened to part of it) for quite some time. I am so glad I finished this book and I can’t wait to discuss it at book club in a couple months. This will hopefully spark a lot of conversations. The women in the book were fascinating and imperfect and perfect all at the same time. They had so many layers to them. One thing the author said she hopes people take away from this book is to not judge others and inspire more people to tell their stories. And to not let people go through life unseen and unheard. You may not agree with the lifestyle these women are living, may not relate to their situations or ultimately not care to read their stories, but their bravery to bear it all to the world is inspiring and honorable. I think this book could be talked about for hours on so many different levels and in so many different ways. I really loved this book and would love to know your thoughts on it! 📚❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #minihaysreads2019 (57/50)
Instagram post 2196092585515566575_7332105521 We just listened to this adorable book. We got it from the @dakotalibrary as a VOX book. This would make a great gift for a young kid’s birthday, baby shower gift or new parent. We loved the fun pictures and rhyming in the story. 📚❤️
Instagram post 2193889978067871727_7332105521 When your little guy wants to read books by the fireplace, you can’t say no! 📚🔥
Instagram post 2193280588646344958_7332105521 I just finished listening to this book. I had started it a couple weeks ago and forgot my loan had expired. So I grabbed it again and finished it up. I really liked the book and there were a few twists, but nothing overly shocking about the ending. I don’t think a huge twist at the end would have made the book any better because I think the ending was just what the book needed. I liked this book for a quick and twisted psych thriller read. 🎧📚⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #minihaysreads2019 (56/50)
