    Ya’ll!!! It is finally the last day of school! We have finally made it! We are so excited and ready! I am so proud of my students how awesome they’ve done this year! Now it’s time to sleep. 😉 Today, per the usual, I’m linking up with the blogs AlittlebitofEverything and Momfessionals and I’m sharing all about our fun favorites from the week!!  This picture of my Daddy with Addison was a favorite from the week.  Getting to see lots of pictures from Addison’s last week of school was a favorite. She had a blast! I always love when the Graduating Seniors come back to the Elementary school to do the senior walk. It’s…

  • **What’s Up Wednesday** {5.26.2021}

    It’s the last Wednesday of the month, and it’s the last Wednesday of the school year!  On this day, I link up with Mix and Match Mama and Sheaffer. I share a little bit of everything that’s been going on with us lately.  1. What We Are Eating This Week: This week, with it being the last week of school, I am literally just grabbing whatever I can find.  Monday we had Orange Chicken, Fried Rice, and Sautéed vegetables Tuesday was BBQ sandwiches with coleslaw and French fries.  Wednesday is Grilled chicken with vegetables.  Thursday is a hodge podge of leftovers.  Friday is Girl’s Night Out!  I am including my Burnt Broccoli…

  • **Hello Monday** {5.24.2021}

    Hey Everybody! Happy Monday! We are super excited around here because this is the last Monday of the 2020-21 school year. We have 5 days  with students, a few days of post-planning, then we are out for summer! To say I’m excited would be an understatement. 😉  How was everybody’s weekend? We started off Friday night with grilling some shrimp on the grill and an early bed-time. Yes!  We were up fairly early Saturday morning. We grabbed some biscuits to-go. Addison enjoyed her bacon.  She kept begging and begging to get in the pool that afternoon. I promised her she might be able to that evening. We had a Retirement…

    Hello, Friday!! Thank goodness you’re here! It’s been an exhausting week. We have 1 more week with students. We can do it!  Today, per the usual, I’m linking up with the blogs AlittlebitofEverything and Momfessionals and I’m sharing all about our fun favorites from the week!!  Poor sweet girl woke up Monday with another fever. 🙁  Nonna came over to rescue the day. She stayed home with her that day. At this point, I thought it was still her allergies.  The next day, she still had a fever. I had to go into school for some face-to-face meetings with parents. Cindy, my sister n’ law and Penny, Joey’s Mom, said they could watch her.…

  • **Memorial Day Must-Haves** {5.19.2021}

    Today I’m sharing a whole bunch of fun stuff that would be great for any summer BBQ. Since we have Memorial day coming up, I decided to share things that we love to have around for this special holiday.  Like Chairs…. These are all my favorite chairs. We take them camping, and we also love them for just hanging out in the yard. They’re also easy to take on the go to events.  **Kijaro Dual Lock Portable Camping and Sports Chair  ** Amazon Basics Outdoor Zero Gravity Lounge Folding Chair ** GCI Outdoor Freestyle Rocker Portable Folding Rocking Chair One must always have some marshmallow roasting sticks on hand. You…

  • **Hello Monday** {5.17.2021}

    Hey Everybody! It’s Monday again, and we are definitely counting down the days. Only 1 more Monday. Ten more days of school with students and twelve more days total for me, for the year. We are ready! I know everyone’s year has been a doozy.  Mom/Dad kept Addison Friday night, so we had a grand date night to get gas at Costco (yay! we found gas!) and then to the outlet mall to find Joey some more khaki pants. I know ya’ll are jealous of our wild night events! Ha! Have you guys had gasoline where you live? It’s been crazy here in Georgia trying to find it. I did…

    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!!  The weather this week has been a little dreary and cool. I am definitely looking forward to some sunshine in the forecast for this weekend.  I forgot to share this last weekend. I ordered my mom and aunt these tea towels for Mother’s day from Etsy. Here.  I took one of my Nanny’s recipes, and they put them on the tea towel. It turned out awesome! Thank you to Caroline for giving me the awesome idea!  Another favorite was this cutie writing some sight…

  • **Let’s Look at…. Outdoor Organization**{5.12.2021}

    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 outdoor organization.  Our outdoor organization could be better. This was us last year when we got the big unicorn float. If it was up to Addison, it would live in the living room.  Unicorn Float  Last year, we stacked all the floats/things here, at this spot, on our back porch.  It’s not ideal, but last year with Covid and everything closed, we made do. Ideally, I would love to get one of these storage containers to put everything in.  All-Weather Storage Container Right now, the unicorn is housed in our…

  • **Hello Monday** Mother’s Day 2021 Recap {5.10.2021}

    Happy Monday!! We are really counting down until Summer begins. 3 more weeks of school!  We had an awesome weekend! Celebrating our Special Mamas.  Friday, I had a doctor’s appointment. It was okay though because I was able to drop off Addison after the sun was up. I also was able to grab some lunch at La Madeleine. One of my little favorite French bistros. I hadn’t been in years.  After that, I did some shopping… actually in person at one of my favorites….. Nordstrom!!! I always love going to the store in person.  I ran by TJ Maxx, and while I waited in line, they had the cutest Rae…

    Happy Friday!! We have had such a fun 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!!  This week was Teacher Appreciation Week, and we started off Monday with a donut and coffee. I mean, what better way to start the week. Donuts are anyone’s favorite. 😉 We also got CFA one day, and it was so thoughtful and kind.  Practicing new sight words is a favorite.  On May 4th, Addison had Star Wars day at her school. We are not Star Wars people, I know it’s shocking, but I have never seen one. I did try to partake…
