• **Friday Favorites** {5.27.2022}

    Ending my 14th year of teaching, my heart is heavy you guys. I don’t have the words for the heartbreak I feel for the town of Uvalde, TX. I pray for the precious children’s families whose lives were lost, for their classmates and friends, and for the family and coworkers of those dedicated and loving teachers who lost their lives with the students.  ************************************************** On to hopefully a little bit of joy for you all. I’m so excited!! Today is finally here!! It’s the last day of school! 2021-22 is a wrap!  Per the usual, I’m linking up with the blogs AlittlebitofEverything and Momfessionals and sharing our favorites from the week. Addison started out…

  • **What’s Up Wednesday** {5.25.2022}

    Wow! Can’t believe it, but it’s the last Wednesday of the month. On this day, I link up with Mix and Match Mama and Sheaffer. I share all about what has been going on with us lately. It’s a little food, a little family, a little what we’re wearing, a little what we’re doing, a little what we’re watching and a little bit of everything else all in one post.  Grab your coffee, tea, or whatever you’re sipping on and settle in. 🙂 1. What We Are Eating This Week: This week has been really crazy with the meal department. With Joey on a liquid/baby food diet, because of his surgery…

  • **Weekend Recap** {5.23.2022}

    Today is the last Monday of the school year!! We are all pumped about it!! We have a busy but very fun week coming up! Can’t wait to jump right in! I apologize now for all the pictures from this past weekend. It was Addison’s dance recital, and I took so many pictures. I just want to soak it all up!  We finally received her professional pictures back. So, I thought, what better time to share them on here. 😉  Saturday morning, I did the usual- cleaning, laundry, organizing… then we all got ready for her afternoon recital. Joey did lots of resting. He was very sore from his surgery. …

    We are almost there! I can’t believe that next Friday is the last day of school for students! Wow, the year flew by! But we are ready!  Per the usual, I’m linking up with the blogs AlittlebitofEverything and Momfessionals and sharing our favorites from the week. Monday after school, we were finally able to make it to the strawberry patch! We were all so excited and ready!!  It was a little warm but perfect weather.  We had to have the strawberry ice cream. It’s always the best!  Monday night, Addison wasn’t feeling well. She said her tummy was hurting really bad. And she wouldn’t eat. (Unlike her)  Tuesday morning, A woke up with a…

  • **Summer Bucket List** {5.18.2022}

    Happy Wednesday!! Today, I’m sharing our bucket list for the Summer! I can’t believe I’m saying that! We are so excited!!  I asked A earlier this week to think about some things she wants to do this summer! She was super excited and ready to spill all the things she wants to do.  Thinking hard about what she wants to do…. This is what she came up with! She was very happy about it. 😉  Go to Waterpark (Outdoor Aquatic Center) Go to the Park to Play (with friends) Grandpa’s Water Slide (Joey’s Dad has a slip n’ slide, so she definitely wants to do this!) Go to the Beach…

  • **Weekend Recap** {5.16.2022}

    Happy Monday!! How is everyone doing today? Did you have a nice weekend? The weather was beautiful, and we tried to get outside and enjoy it.  Friday night, Joey and I had a date night. We came home to the cat pawing at something in the yard. Joey realized it was a snake and not a good one- a copperhead. So, he went out to take care of it.  Saturday morning, I did the usual cleaning, laundry, organizing. But I also worked some in the camper and in the flower beds. Addison begged to play with the water gun and water balloons, so we obliged.  We got cleaned up and…

  • **Friday Favorites** {5.13.2022}

    Yay for Friday!! We are so excited and still counting down the days until Summer break! We only have 9 more school days with students! Woo Hoo! Per the norm, I’m linking up with the blogs AlittlebitofEverything and Momfessionals and sharing our favorites from the week. Today’s post is short and sweet. I had to go get new tires on my car this week. I knew I was going to be there a while, so I ran through Dunkin’ and grabbed a treat. I was there about 2 hours. I was able to get in some reading time while sitting in the sun which rarely happens. Almost like a vacay. Ha!  My Mom, Addison…

  • **Let’s Look at……My Hometown** {5.11.2022}

    Hey, Hey Wednesday!! How’s everyone doing on this May morning? I’m very excited because I’m linking up with Shay from MixandMatchMama and Erika from ALittleBitofEverything and chatting about my hometown. 🙂 I live in Canton, Georgia. It’s about 40 miles north of Atlanta and is pretty much Atlanta now considering how everything has grown. I grew up here, and the only time I left was to go to college about an hour away.  We currently have about 30,000 people in our city, but it continues to grow daily. When I grew up, we had one red light, a few places to shop, and just a handful of restaurants- most being family owned and operated. Now,…

  • **Weekend Recap** Mother’s Day 2022 {5.9.2022}

    Wow, is it Monday already? We had a very busy weekend celebrating all the Moms in our lives. Today, I’m sharing all about our weekend.  Friday, at school, we enjoyed a salad bar, with our team, for lunch. It was the best thing, and I wish we had been doing it all year.  I went out to recess Friday afternoon to talk with some teachers, and the sky was looking very uneasy. About 15 minutes after this picture was taken, some very strong wind and very hard rain came blowing in. Luckily, we were back inside.  Saturday, we celebrated Joey’s Mom with a lunch at one of our favorite spots.…

    Cheers for Friday!! Are you guys counting down the days until Summer break? We are in our house! We only have 15 more school days with students! Woo Hoo!  Per the usual, I’m linking up with the blogs AlittlebitofEverything and Momfessionals and sharing our favorites from the week. Addison had pajama day on Monday, and I snagged her a pair from Little Sleepies a while back. These are so sweet, and they are so soft! I could just melt in these! They also have sizes for babies, boys, and even adults!  Wildberry Ice Cream Viscose Set After school, we had to run to grab a few things. 😉 On Tuesday, she wanted to take…
