    It’s the last Wednesday of the month. On this day, I link up with Mix and Match Mama and Sheaffer. I  will share a little bit of everything that’s been going on with us right now. 1. What We Are Eating This Week: So, with all the craziness that comes with school, meetings galore, busy schedules, etc…. I need easy things to cook. Here’s what we are eating this week.  Sunday: Beef tips, rice, fried okra, mac-n-cheese, and frozen cheesecakes  Monday: Hamburger steak with mushroom gravy, sweet potatoes, green beans (I meal prepped on Sunday, so thankfully this was already ready to heat up) Tuesday: Pepperoni chicken with spaghetti noodles  Wednesday: Leftover hamburger…

  • **Weekend Recap** {10.28.19}

    Well, there you are again, Monday… We had a nice weekend. Not too much going on, but just enough to wish that I had another day at home. We have a busy week coming up though. We have something going on every night this week. We are hoping for no rain on Halloween. #fingerscrossed Friday night, it was really rainy, cool, and yucky…. Joey decided to build a fire. Addison was entranced by it and wanted to help him. #excusethepullup  Addison had a bubble bath that night. We got a little carried away with all of the bubbles.  We attempted to watch a Hallmark Christmas movie that night which started…

  • **Friday Favorites** {10.25.19}

    Happy Friday!! It’s been a pretty good week! We’ve had some fun, and it hasn’t been too stressful. I sure am happy it’s almost the weekend though.   Today Iā€™m linking up with  Erika, Andrea, and Narci to bring you Friday Favorites.

  • *Random Shenanigans* {10.23.19}

    Happy Wednesday!! Today’s post is short and sweet. Sunday evening we went to Joey’s Dad’s to carve/paint pumpkins and eat dinner. We all had a great time!!  The girls got right to work playing with play-doh.  Addison’s face/eyes were cracking me up. She kept begging to go faster, but then she was holding on for dear life.  Then we did some painting. The girls painted and Joey and Dylan carved.  Here are the final products. They turned out really cute!  That’s it for today. šŸ™‚  See you back here on Friday for Friday favorites.  xoxo

  • **Weekend Recap** {10.21.2019}

    We had a fun weekend! Sad that it’s over. They always fly by… why can’t the work week be 2 days, and the weekends be 5? It makes sense to me! lol  Here’s a bit of our fun this weekend!  ************************************************************* Friday night we started out with the Fall Festival at my school! The inflatables were awesome!!  The big kids were being so sweet with her!  Saturday, we woke up to dreary and cool weather. We had planned to go to a festival, but with the weather we decided to nix that. We went to Joey’s Granny’s house for a reunion. Addison didn’t hold back any of her shyness.  This…

  • **Friday Favorites** Fair Edition {10.18.2019}

    Happy Friday!! It has been a short four-day week with the students, but it has still felt long! All I’m saying is, I’m glad it’s Friday!!   Today Iā€™m linking up with  Erika, Andrea, and Narci to bring you Friday Favorites. I am sharing some of my favorite things from the week!! šŸ™‚ One favorite this week was seeing this mask on Addison! I couldn’t stop laughing!! Another favorite are these gummies! It is very difficult to get Addison to eat a vegetable. She loves all the fruit, but any veggie is a no-go. So, I ordered these gummies to give her some added vitamins. She loves them!  My post on Wednesday was all about…

  • **Weekend Recap** Pumpkin Patch {10.14.2019}

    Happy Monday!! We had a great, fall-filled, family weekend!! The weather and cooler temperatures were amazing!! Friday morning on my way to work, I captured this beautiful sunrise!  Friday night, we had some people over to our house for a prayer meeting. We are very thankful for all that came and there was definitely lots of love felt.  We slept in a little bit. I started cleaning, Joey cooked breakfast, and Addison played. She loved the balloon.  We went outside a little later. Joey and I washed my car. Addison played in the rocks.  We got cleaned up and headed to the pumpkin patch. The weather was awesome! The patch…
