Our Weekend || Pizza + Play-Doh

Hello!  Hope you had a wonderful weekend!  Ours was low key and that's exactly what I needed.  I almost feel like the Christmas season rush is finally dying down and things can slow down a bit.  My hubby was working all weekend so it was just me and my little munchkin.  She is at such a fun age now and I really enjoy my time with her - my favorite baby girlfriend ;)

The weekend was a mix of shopping, playing, and cooking.  I took Olivia with me to run some errands at Target and stopped by TJ Maxx on the way.  I tend to always go to Home Goods, but will definitely be going back to TJ Maxx.  So many great finds!  Stickers are currently one of her go to activities so I was so excited when I found this huge Melissa and Doug sticker book for $2!  I browsed through their book section and found tons of Christmas books, most marked $1.50...amazing!  Perfect to buy now and put away for next year.

After we got home, we opened up some Play-Doh and had some snacks.  She will sit and play with Play-Doh for hours.  She loves to roll it out and make shapes...especially the dog bone, which she tries to feed to our dog.  

We also baked Bakery M&M cookies, using this recipe from Coordinately Yours.  They came out nice and chewy, the perfect sweet treat for a cold evening.  Olivia helped put the m&m's in.  Don't worry Mom, I washed her hands = salmonella free. She likes to hold a cookie in her hand, without eating it, for approximately 42 minutes while the dog follows her around, hoping for a crumb or two.  Not quite sure if she's my child... ;)

{Because baking in a tutu makes it so much more enjoyable}

Our fun filled afternoon slowly came to an end, as nap time was quickly approaching.  She started demanding to drink her milk from a measuring spoon while the cookies baked and I watched the clock counting down the minutes until Daddy came home.  So bossy those toddlers can be ;) 

For one of our weekend dinners, I made a cast iron skillet BBQ chicken pizza and it was amazing.   The crust was perfectly crisp and the toppings were the best part.   Recipe will be up tomorrow so you can try it at home!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!
