• **Friday Favorites** {4.30.2021}

    Hello Friday! So happy to see you!  Today, as usual, I’m linking up with the  blogs AlittlebitofEverything and Momfessionals and I’m sharing all about our fun favorites from the week!!  We were able to have a little bit of fun outside after school this week. This girl had to have some new goggles at the store. Then wanted to wear them all afternoon. They were a fun favorite. I know it’s sad how little personality she has. 😉 This week was Addison’s school’s teacher appreciation week. We showered them with giftcards.  We sent in a dessert to enjoy with their catered luncheon.  We also got them wooden bowl candles. They smelled so good!  We…

  • **Hello Monday** {4.26.2021}

    Hello Beautiful Monday! How was everyone’s weekend? We had a fun, busy weekend!  We started off Friday night, running to get burgers then going by Mom & Dads. They had a surprise for Addison. They got her a butterfly house with some caterpillars who will be turning into butterflies. We will get to watch the process!  While there, Addison had to have a flower. Her rhododendrons are just starting to bloom.  Saturday morning was very rainy. We needed the rain though so we weren’t complaining too much. The only reason we were a little sad was because we were celebrating Adalynn’s birthday. We definitely made the most of the party! …

    Hey Everybody! I am so happy it’s Friday!! Today’s post is short and sweet. I hope you all had a wonderful week!  Today, as usual, I’m linking up with the  blogs AlittlebitofEverything and Momfessionals and I’m sharing all about our fun favorites from the week!!  The carpet people came one day this week and were re-stretching our master bedroom’s carpet and putting in carpet in the playroom upstairs. This is what our living area looked like for about a day, and it about did me in.  And here’s the after with carpet. It’s definitely a favorite. I love it! Joey was loving relaxing on the Nugget, and Addison was so excited about getting all…

  • **Recipe Wednesday** Creamy Chicken Tortilla Soup {4.21.2021}

    Happy Hump Day! I am so glad it’s Wednesday, and the weekend is in view. It’s been a VERY busy week in our household.  So, I don’t know about you, but I’m always up for an easy weeknight meal. Especially if it involves the CrockPot/Slow Cooker. It does all the heavy lifting. On our busy Spring nights, I’m all for getting home, and our meal being ready or at least almost ready.  If that sounds anything like you, then this recipe is going to be RightUpMyYourAliWay. 😉 See what I did there. Ha!  Here we go.  You could have added raw onion and jalapeno to the crockpot. However, I sautéed…

  • **Hello Monday** {4.19.2021}

    Happy Monday! The weeks are flying by.. and the weekends. How is everyone today?  We had a great weekend enjoying lots of outside time.  Friday, I picked Mom up after school, and Addison and I all went to the outlets to do some Spring shopping. Addison wanted to pose at all the things. Ha!  Saturday morning, we were up bright and early and eager to work on some things around the house. We ran to Lowe’s and got some more blocks to work on our retaining wall.  We got some more Rubber Mulch for Addison’s playset area. Some more mulch for the flower beds, and some Ferns for the front…

  • **Friday Favorites** {4.16.2021}

    Hello Friday and almost weekend! I felt like this week started out really slowly and then by Wednesday afternoon, I was like, wow, tomorrow is already Thursday!??! Ha!  Today, as usual, I’m linking up with the  blogs AlittlebitofEverything and Momfessionals and I’m sharing all about our fun favorites from the week!!  One favorite is this girl’s kind heart. I came in the living room, and I find her wrapping a box. I asked her what she was doing. She said, “I’m wrapping Adalynn’s (her cousin) birthday present”. It was one of her games. She said she just really wanted her to have it, so she could play it too. I just had to laugh.…

  • **Let’s Look at…. Our Fridge & Pantry** {4.14.2021}

    Happy Wednesday!!  Today is another fun little link-up party.  I’m linking up with Shay from MixandMatchMama and Erika from ALittleBitofEverything and talking about our fridge & pantry.  Y’all, as I was taking pictures of my pantry, I was a little embarrassed. I felt as if I have food everywhere. I took these pictures Sunday night, when we had just gotten home from our 4 day vacation, and I was doing all the laundry and unpacking and trying to get ready for the week… I really thought about cleaning and organizing but decided, no. I’m not taking the time to do that right now. So, here it is… my pantry in all its glory.…

  • **Hello Monday** Spring Break Recap {4.12.2021}

    Happy Monday!! We are back at school and now on the countdown to summer… 7 weeks. We have a lot to get covered in these weeks, and will be very busy, but we are happy it’s quickly approaching.  Today, I’m sharing what we did over Spring Break. For the most part, we had beautiful weather. The pollen was just awful. In between doctor’s appointments, we played outside.  My Mom’s birthday was last week. We went out to celebrate and had the best time!  We left around lunchtime on Wednesday and headed camping to Pigeon Forge, TN. The town was very crowded, and that night, we had to wait over an…
