• **Hello Monday** Cyber Monday Deals {11.29.2021}

    Happy Monday! How is everyone doing today? We are still getting over the Turkey coma and all the shopping. We just have 3 weeks until Christmas break, and we are really feeling the Christmas spirit around here.  I’m sharing everything that happened over our weekend.  Friday, I woke up really early at 3:30 and headed out with Joey’s Mom and sisters to shop until we dropped. We definitely got some good deals.  While I was out and about, I snagged a Pop the Pig from Target. I love using this game with my Kindergartners in Letter and Sound Recognition, Number Recognition, Sight Word Practice, the options are endless, and the…

  • **Hello Monday** Addison’s Birthday Weekend {11.15.2021}

    Today is a special day. Today, at 11:16 pm, 5 years ago, Addison Faith Hughes was born. She had a wild entrance into this world and has not slowed down since. She came screaming out and hasn’t stopped. We prayed for her for a long time and God answered our prayers.  She is spunky and full of personality. She keeps us rolling with her funny sayings. We are truly blessed she is in our lives. Some days are hard. But the saying is so true… The days are long, but the years are short.  I’m sharing about our weekend recap which includes her birthday party, and then I’ll do a…

    Well, the weekend flew by as usual, and we are already back at Monday. We have a busy 2 weeks, then Thanksgiving week! It’s crazy how fast these weeks will fly by.  How was your weekend? We had a nice, slow weekend filled with cleaning, organizing and a little shopping.  Addison’s teachers took this of her doing a little STEM/Science lesson building the tallest straw tower.  Thursday night, Addison did not feel well and was complaining of her ear hurting. She had a low grade temperature too. Joey got home from Colorado late Thursday night, so I tagged him to take her to the doctor on Friday. Since I was…
