InstaFriday

InstaFriday is a simple way to document the sweet, silly and otherwise inocuous moments from your week using nothing but cell phone pictures.

I have an iPhone and use the Instagram app (I’m jeannettg if you want to follow), but any cell phone pics will do!  It doesn’t have to be from an iPhone!

Join in, it’s really fun!

A three pound bag of gummi bears in my stocking?

A three pound bag of HARIBO the-best-ever-in-the-entire-whole-wide-universe gummi bears in my stocking?

Christmas will never be the same again.

Note that the bag is less than half full in this picture.

Note that this picture was taken two days after Christmas.

Put your judging eyes away please.

Christmas also brought with it a gift card to Red Robin.

Which rocks because food is basically my love language.

Plus, they have a tower of fabulous onion rings.  Which is kind of like my love language on steroids.

And the restaurant is always loud anyway so it’s a good go-to with the kids.

Family night out and no one pulls their hair out for only a few bucks out of pocket?

Yes please.

The husband scored big this year by getting me the ever coveted glass mixing bowl for my stand mixer.

Someone asked why I cared that the bowl was made of glass.

“Because it’s pretty.  Duh.”

And it matches my glass subway tiles.

Pshaw.

I never said I wasn’t shallow.

I can’t stand boy toys.

They all have 8,000 pieces with little tabs on them whose sole purpose is to snap off and make the toy worthless, thereby causing a flurry of tears and general chaos.

Plus, they always come in really obnoxious colors.

So when I saw that Uncle Duncan bought Henry this complicated Hot Wheels track that sticks to the wall, I kinda wanted to ship it straight to Goodwill before it ever got opened.

But I’ll admit that it’s pretty cool.

Even if I’m convinced it’ll be broken somehow in about 6 more days.

It’s almost New Year’s Resolution time.

Lame.

But if you’ve been thinking about jumping aboard and joining along with us as we journey through Simple Mom’s One Bite at a Time, now is the perfect opportunity!

Starting Friday, December 30, you can get the ebook for only $4 if you use code HAPPYNEWYEAR

We aren’t that far ahead (besides, you can literally start anywhere in the book and go in any order you want…it’s not chronological or set up like a pyramid) so don’t feel like you can’t start now.  It’s an easy read and filled with lots of helpful tips.  Plus, I love when I get to a week and I’m like “Hey!  I do that already!  Two points for me!”

We work through the book and I post my progress monthly.

Everything’s more fun when you do it as a group, right?

Last, but not least, just a quick reminder that there’s still a couple of days left to enter to win a KitchenAid stand mixer, a Bosch Drill, OR a Canon T3i DSLR, or a Kindle Touch!

Xander’s fundraiser ends on December 31, and we are SO STINKING CLOSE to $6,000!!!! Can YOU be the one to help bump us over the edge???

I dare you to give ONE DOLLAR. Double dog.

Okay, now it’s your turn to link up!

Grab a button and then be sure to visit at least two other InstaFridayers and leave them some comment love! We like love around here, so join in!

I'm a mom to four. A wife to one. I believe in story. I love telling you about mine and would love to hear yours. There's really no sense in wasting our suffering and not sharing in each other's joy. We're all in this together...even if it doesn't always feel like it.
