• **Friday Favorites** {9.29.2023}

    Happy Happy Friday!!! This week has really flown by, but I’m so happy it’s the weekend. I need a break or maybe a nap. Probably both. Like the norm, I’m linking up with the blogs AlittlebitofEverything and Momfessionals and sharing my favorite things from the week. On Tuesday, we celebrated a coworker’s birthday with this decadent cake. Celebrating her and the cake were a favorite for sure. This week was Johnny Appleseed’s birthday apparently. I just happened to have Addison wear her apple outfit that day. It matched perfectly with her Johnny Appleseed hat. Her teacher shared this pic of her taste testing apples. #favorite She was enjoying it. I shared a lot of…

  • **What’s up Wednesday** {9.27.2023}

    It’s the last Wednesday of the month. Today, I’m linking up with Mix and Match Mama and Sheaffer and sharing 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. Settle in friends because this one is a long one. 🙂 1. What We Are Eating This Week: Sunday night we had lunch on the grounds after church, so that night we just snacked.

  • **Hello Monday** {9.25.2023}

    Hey Hey Friends! I’m back!! We had a wonderful week off last week, and now I’m back at it! Today, I’m linking up with Holly and Sarah for Hello Monday and sharing a recap of our weekend. Last week, we headed to visit family in Florida and enjoy some beach time. It was a great relaxing trip. I’ll share about the trip on a later post. We got home late Friday night. This weekend is always the annual Riverfest in our town which benefits the children in our county. It’s always a huge hit and so much fun! We met Cindy & Adalynn right when they opened at 10. There was definitely the feel…

    Happy Happy Friday!! You’re finally here! I don’t know about ya’ll, but I’m exhausted.  Like the norm, I’m linking up with the blogs AlittlebitofEverything and Momfessionals and sharing my favorite things from the week. These sweet girls all hanging out in my closet office, after school, was a favorite. Lots of giggles were happening.  Addison’s teacher posted this pic of her presenting her landforms project. She was proud.  I dropped off a meal for a special co-worker this week. Easy and helpful meals are a favorite.  I had an appointment at the spa. Addison went and wanted a practically perfect picture. 🙂 Wednesday, we had spirit night at Canyon’s burgers and Menchie’s next door.…

  • **Let’s Look at…… Our Evening Routine** {9.13.2023}

    Happy Happy Wednesday!! On the second Wednesday of every month, I link up with Shay from MixandMatchMama and Erika from ALittleBitofEverything. Today we are talking about our evening routines.  Most days, this is what our routine looks like.  We walk in the door and Addison works on getting things out of her backpack and opening her folder for me to sign and read.  She empties her lunch box and starts making her lunch for the next day. I start working on dinner.  During this general time, she usually feeds the cat. If she has homework, she works on it. This evening in particular she worked on Math homework…. Then, she worked on her…

  • **Hello Monday** {9.11.2023}

    Hello Monday!!! We meet again. It’s not too bad because after these 5 school days we are off a week for our Fall Break! We are counting down! Today, I’m linking up with Holly and Sarah for Hello Monday and sharing a recap of our weekend. Friday night, Addison & Adalynn spent the night with Joey’s Mom. They had a blast going to eat and shopping- doing all their favorite things. Saturday morning, we picked up Addison around 9:30 and headed to the mountains. We wanted to get started on some Fall fun and headed to the Apple Orchards and Farm. First, we headed to the Petting Zoo area to check out all the…

    Happy Happy Friday!! This 4 day week has felt about a month long. So happy for another weekend! Like the norm, I’m linking up with the blogs AlittlebitofEverything and Momfessionals and sharing my favorite things from the week. Since I didn’t share a recap of our Labor Day, I’m going to include that in today’s post. Friday, a week ago, we had College Football kickoff day at school. So, we all dressed in our game day gear. Friday night, Addison and I had a movie night. This is how I felt about 8:30. Haha! #exhausted #readyforbed Saturday morning, we were up bright and early. I started working on cleaning and such. Addison worked on…

    Happy Friday!!! and Happy first day of September!! So happy for the three day weekend! 🙂 Like the norm, I’m linking up with the blogs AlittlebitofEverything and Momfessionals and sharing my favorite things from the week. Joey has been busy working on some things on our patio. He’s starting to build a cover for the stairs.  They also delivered the brick, so they’re about to start working on our fireplace! I’m so excited about this~ especially for Fall!  Early morning snuggles and time with my girl are a favorite!  A coworker was absent and needed her cart moved. Addison graciously took care of moving it to a better spot for her.  Ha… Laurie &…
