• **Friday Favorites** {7.31.2020}

    Happy Friday!!!!  Wow! What a week! I can’t believe school is about to start on Monday. Today, like usual, I’m linking up with the blogs AlittlebitofEverything and Momfessionals and sharing some of my favorite things from the week!!   I went to pick up Addison one day this week and her hair was in adorable braided pig tails. Thanks to her sweet Aunt Emma. Braids + Pig tails are a favorite around here I ordered Addison some books from Amazon to read the night before school starts. They are going to be the cutest!  The Night Before Preschool / Pete the Kitty’s First day of Preschool  The Best Part of Me, by Wendy Ewald is a…

  • **Weekend Recap** {7.27.2020}

    Happy Monday!! By the time you’re reading this, I’m probably back in my classroom trying to get it ready for students.  We had a good weekend but it was full of hard work- at least for Joey and the other guys.  *********************************************** Last Thursday, my bestie, Caroline came up to stay for a little reprieve. Our friend Brit also came up for the day. We enjoyed some pool time, lots of great girl conversations, and some Netflix binging. Friday, Caroline and I got up and we all went for a Trader Joe’s run and to lunch with Mable (Mama). Friday evening and Saturday most of the day, Joey, his Dad,…

    Happy Friday!!!!  We’ve had a great week around here! Today, like usual, I’m linking up with the blogs AlittlebitofEverything and Momfessionals and sharing some of my favorite things from the week!!   So, our official first day back to school is Monday, but we always have a ton to do during Pre-Planning. I went in on Monday because I was moving classrooms, and I just knew it was going to be a mess. And it was!! After moving and mostly organizing everything, I was beat by the end of the day. On Tuesday, I was up bright and early to go take the ESOL GACE assessment. This was the sky on the way there, and…

  • **Stuffed Bell Peppers** {7.22.2020}

    So, I had the best of intentions to get a blog post completed for today. However, life happened, and it just didn’t get done…. So, today is going to be extra short and sweet.  I’m sharing a recipe that I made a couple weeks ago. They were perfect for a summer night! We even used some peppers from the stores and some from our garden.  Stuffed Bell Peppers   I used this recipe from Pinterest. I ended up buying 2 orange and 2 bell peppers at the grocery store. Then, using 1 green pepper and 1 purple pepper from our garden. The ones from our garden aren’t as pretty. Ha!  I…

  • **Weekend Recap** {7.20.2020}

    Hello Everybody!! We had a great, pretty low-key weekend around here! It was definitely HOT!!  Friday, Addison stayed with my Mother n’ law, Penny, while I went and got my hair done and ran some errands.  My earrings are from last year, and I can’t locate a link to my exact ones. They were from Amazon. These are very similar. 4 pack and a great price at under $15!!  I got home and did a little bit of studying… I will be SOOO glad when my test is over! It’s Tuesday, so let’s hope I pass. Eeek!  Blue Light glasses have been a must with all this computer work lately.…

  • **4th of July Trip Recap** Part II {7.15.2020}

    It’s been a little while, but over the fourth of July weekend, we went on a short little beach vacay. We had the best time! If you missed part one, read all about it here.  Today, I’m picking right back up where we left off. On Sunday, due to the predicted rain, we headed to Gulf World. We saw the Sea Lion show.  We checked out some really big sea turtles and sharks. And a lot of parrots/birds.  Addison’s favorite part of the entire park was the dolphin show. I’ll have to say, it was pretty awesome! The trainers were so good, and so were the dolphins! We were very…

    Happy Friday!!!  Today, like usual, I’m linking up with the blogs AlittlebitofEverything and Momfessionals and sharing some of my favorite things from the week!! 🙂  I can’t let this day go by without wishing my bestie, Caroline, a Happy Birthday!! I thought I’d travel back down memory lane when we went to Europe together.  We met in college and bonded over watching “Newlyweds” while eating Angel Food Cake with strawberries!! Haha!  We lived together, we traveled together, we have girls that are close to the same age, we blog, and we were almost born on the same day. I love you sweet friend!! You are definitely a favorite around here! 🙂 I had…
