    Happy Friday!! And Happy Halloween weekend! We are so excited about all the fun that is happening this weekend. Not excited about the yucky rain.  Like the norm, I’m linking up with the blogs AlittlebitofEverything and Momfessionals and sharing all about our favorites from the week. Here are the guys all loaded and ready to head out. They’ve sent me lots of pictures this week. Seeing how much fun they are having has been a favorite.  This girl really wanted this chair at Home Goods. I am like, no! We have nowhere to put that.  This cutie doing pumpkin ten frames in her pumpkin shirt was a favorite this week.  We are cheering on…

  • **What’s up Wednesday** {10.27.2021}

    It’s the last Wednesday of the month. Today, I’m linking up with Mix and Match Mama and Sheaffer. I am sharing a little bit of everything that’s been going on with us lately.  I can’t believe it’s already the end of October! I feel like I was just typing this post for September.  1. What We Are Eating This Week: This week, I was just grabbing random things to cook. Since it’s just the two of us this week, we aren’t going too elaborate.  Sunday: Pizza  Monday: Salad, Spaghetti ( I never brown ground beef without this little gadget).  Tuesday: Grilled Salmon, Baked Potato, Vegetables Wednesday: Leftover Spaghetti  Thursday: Chicken Nachos Friday and Saturday: Out…

  • **Hello Monday** {10.25.2021}

    Happy Monday and Happy Halloween Week! We have so much fun happening this week! Let’s get this week started!  We had some excitement around here on Friday. Addison lost her first tooth. I was very sad. My baby is growing up so fast. She was so excited about the Toothfairy coming. She loved her toothfairy light.  Saturday morning, we were up early. Vampirina joined us at breakfast.  We did lots of cleaning and laundry, Saturday morning. Then we decided to go visit my Papa. We had the best time and lots of squealing and laughs were had.  Saturday night we had to make a Target run. We went and grabbed…

    Happy Friday!! I can’t believe that Halloween is next weekend! Where did the month of October go?  Like the norm, I’m linking up with the blogs AlittlebitofEverything and Momfessionals and sharing all about our favorites from the week. We had Tribal day this week at school. I’m green, Bear tribe. We had the best time! The gold, Owl tribe won! The kids were all pumped, and it was so awesome being all together again in the gym.  Addison did a little Fall crafting this week. It was very easy. I just used got a Canvas, from Amazon, and some paint, and I told her to go for it decorating her Fall tree. These sweet,…

  • **Hello Monday** {10.18.2021}

    Happy Monday to all of you! How was your weekend? Ours was full of lots of Fall Festivals.  Our Friday morning started with a sweet little send off for our Special Needs students going to compete in Special Olympics. We had fifth graders joining in to help with the events. So sweet.  Our school Fall Festival was Friday after school. I worked the Plinko game. My good friend, Shannan and I had lots of laughs.  Joey brought Addison and she had a blast doing all the slides and even tried the rock wall.  Saturday morning we were up early and headed with my Mom to my College town. A little…

    Hey Everyone! Happy Friday! So excited we are getting closer to Halloween! What are your kids dressing up as? Addison wants to be Moana.  Like the norm, I’m linking up with the blogs AlittlebitofEverything and Momfessionals and sharing all about our favorites from the week. We only had 4 days with students this week since Monday was a professional learning day. I still felt like the week was long. Anyone else?  We did have coffee and donuts during professional learning, so that made it a little more enjoyable.  Last Friday, Addison and I stopped by Trader Joe’s. These were some of our favorite finds.  Addison had a firefighter come visit her school this week.…

  • **Let’s Look at…. Holiday Decor Storage** {10.13.2021}

    Hey guys! Happy Wednesday! Today I’ve got a fun little link-up post for you. I’m linking up with Shay from MixandMatchMama and Erika from ALittleBitofEverything and talking about how we store our holiday decor.  I’m excited and eager to see how everyone organizes their Holiday decor. It always makes me giddy to see into other people’s homes. Ha!  I took pictures of what I do and where I store all my things. It’s nothing earth shattering, but it works for us. We store most of our Holiday decor in different plastic bins that I got from Target, in our basement. They’re all in a room beside our stairs. I put all the same Holiday…

  • **Hello Monday** {10.11.2021}

    Hey Hey Monday! Today we got to sleep in a few extra minutes because it’s a PD day for me. I don’t have to be there until about 7:30. Yay for a few extra minutes of sleep!  We had a really fun Fall weekend! We crammed so much fun into a small amount of time.   I took off Friday, so I could tag along with Addison on her field trip. It was to a real life working farm, and she learned so many things. It was muddy from all the rain, so the boots came in handy.  Hayrides are the best with friends.  And with your Mama.  Here’s a…

    Happy Friday, October 8th!  Like the norm, I’m linking up with the blogs AlittlebitofEverything and Momfessionals and sharing all about our favorites from the week.  I’m off today with Addison on a field trip. Yay! Let’s hope for no rain. It’s been raining here all week. I’m over it!  I stopped by our local bookstore and grabbed Nicholas Sparks new book, The Wish. He’s one of my favorite authors. I always buy his books, so I’m excited to dive into this one.  This Chicken Spaghetti casserole was a favorite this week. It was different than our normal. I’ll share the recipe soon.  A pedicure with pretty Fall colors was a favorite.  I spruced up…
