• **Friday Favorites** {5.29.2020}

    Happy Friday!!  Can ya’ll believe it’s the last Friday in May? Where did the month of May go? It flew by for me.  Today I’m linking up with the blogs AlittlebitofEverything and Momfessionals and sharing some of my favorite things from our week!! 🙂 A favorite this week has been dodging the rain showers and enjoying outside time when we can. I don’t know why Addison insisted on wrapping Rapunzel’s friend, Pascal, in her hair on one of our evening walks. Hah! She’s so hilarious! The things she comes up with. 😉 And with lots more outside time, we need sunscreen! This is definitely my favorite sunscreen lately. I love the smell…

  • **What we are Eating** {5.20.2020}

    Happy Wednesday!! We’ve had a good week so far. I’ve just been wrapping up the school year, posting grades and finalizing the schedule and everything for next year. Today, I’m sharing what we have been eating this week. Maybe you’ll get some inspiration.  Sunday: Grilled chicken thighs, broccoli cheese casserole, creamed corn, crowder peas Monday: Pioneer Woman’s Baked Ziti , Strawberry Spring Salad (Recipe below)  I use this meat chopper, and it’s my favorite thing to use when I’m cooking ground beef.

    Happy Monday!! I hope you guys had a great weekend! It is finally starting to warm up a little around here, and I’m loving it. We had a fun-filled weekend. ******************************************************* We started out Friday with Addison giving a little fashion run-way show. Haha (Excuse her marker legs… she did that during one of my meetings, Friday) When Joey got home from work, we decided to go get some burgers for dinner and go to a local park for a picnic. The weather was great! It was a perfect Friday night.  Addison thoroughly enjoyed her shake. Then, we had a nice walk around the duck pond.  Joey and Addison braved…

    Happy Friday!! I can’t believe we’ve been doing Digital Learning for two months.

Today I’m linking up with the blogs AlittlebitofEverything and Momfessionals. I am sharing some of my favorite things from the week!! 🙂 I have been feeling ALL the love lately…… Last Friday when we were saying goodbye via video chat, it was very emotional. There were lots of tears shed by lots of students. I was very sad that I didn’t get to give them a normal goodbye with a hug.  Last week was also Teacher Appreciation. Our…

  • **Let’s Look at… My Weekends** {5.13.2020}

    Hey guys!! Happy Wednesday!! Today, I’m linking up with the blogs Mix and Match Mama and A Little Bit of Everything for a Let’s Look At… linkup.  I hope you enjoy today’s topic… 🙂 Our weekends have definitely not looked like normal Springtime weekends. Typically, our weekends are full of Family & Friend BBQ’s and Birthday parties, Dance Recitals, and lots of other events that involve large crowds. However, as everyone knows, that’s just not happening this year. So, we have been doing a whole lot of at-home projects and lots of family time! Which has been awesome too!  ******************************************************** We went hiking and enjoyed visiting James H. Sloppy Floyd…
