    What’s up party people?!? Happy Friday!! So happy to see you!  Like the norm, I’m linking up with the blogs AlittlebitofEverything and Momfessionals and sharing my favorite things from the week. Monday, I had another county office meeting, so I was able to drop my girl off in car line.  This is my fun team! They are all wonderful, and they make my job 100% easier and smoother on the daily. They are my favorites all day everyday.  Wednesday, I had a doctor’s appt, so I snapped this picture of me in pink….. Preparing for my girl’s appointment. I get in a lot of reading time on these appointment days.  Thankfully, after almost 2…

  • **Hello Monday** {8.26.2024}

    Happy Monday, Friends!! How are ya’ll today?  Like the norm, I’m linking up with Holly and Sarah for Hello Monday and sharing a recap of our weekend. Friday, we went to dinner with Joey’s Mom and younger sister, Emma. I didn’t take any pictures to document. #fail  Haha! Probably because my brain was dead from the school week.  We were early to bed, and it was great!  Saturday morning brought cooler temps. It was wonderful sitting outside on the patio. I got in some reading time, and was so excited to have time to read.  After some relaxing time, I had to pivot to the usual cleaning. I never get anything done during the…

    Whew Friends!! I am so thankful it’s Friday, but I feel like I’m crawling to get here. We have a new student data management system, and it’s making everything so much more difficult this year.  Like the norm, I’m linking up with the blogs AlittlebitofEverything and Momfessionals and sharing my favorite things from the week. Monday, Addison tells me that she needs cookies for a science experiment at school.  BOGO for the win!  Tuesday, I dropped Addison off to dance and headed to grab a new dog bed at TJ Maxx. Milo has ripped his up. #sigh As I was looking around, all the pumpkin additions were a favorite!  This was not a favorite….…

  • **Baked Chicken & Creamy Tuscan Orzo** {8.21.2024}

    I made this recipe on Monday, and it was fairly simple and quick.  I’m all about a quick, easy meal during the week because I’m usually tired and also coming in on two wheels. I don’t need it to be too complicated either.  I started with prepping my chicken to bake. I used chicken breasts, but I’m sure you can use any chicken. Just adjust the cooking time.  Preheat over to 400 degrees.  Pat chicken dry with a paper towel. Rub 2-3 Tablespoons Olive oil on chicken. Sprinkle with Salt, Pepper and Greek Seasoning. Rub in 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika.  Start baking and bake for about 40 minutes. Adjust the…

    Hey Hey friends! We are back to Monday already.  Like the norm, I’m linking up with Holly and Sarah for Hello Monday and sharing a recap of our weekend. Friday evening, we got home from school and left pretty quickly to go grab a bite to eat. Before dinner, I ran by the shoe store to look for some new sneakers. I loved these!  Saturday morning, Joey and Addison were up and ready to run the CFA 5k.  They left about 7 in the morning. I opted to stay home, drink my coffee and get some cleaning done.  They met up with Colin & Blaine.  Joey said she did good, but she needs to…

    Happy Friday!!! We are still trying to get back into the swing of things around here.  Like the norm, I’m linking up with the blogs AlittlebitofEverything and Momfessionals and sharing my favorite things from the week. It’s still been super hot in Georgia. So, we are having to continue to limit our time outside, so we don’t melt into the ground.  Addison came home Monday saying she felt kindof yucky with a tummy ache. So, we just tried to take it easy.  I enjoyed watching Addison read to Milo this week.  Another night, we went over to Mom & Dad’s house. The men are going on a hunting trip to Colorado and are starting…

  • **Let’s Look At…. What’s In Our Pantry** {8.14.2024}

    Happy Happy Wednesday friends!! How’s your week going?  Alright, so let’s get to it! On the second Wednesday of every month, I link up with Shay from MixandMatchMama and Erika from ALittleBitofEverything. Today, we are talking about what’s in our pantry.  My pantry is a hot mess… we are always coming in hot, and it gets neglected.  Here are a few necessary things that we typically have.  Coffee K-cups… Yes! Always! I love these mission low carb tortillas. We eat them all the time.  I also always keep Trader Joe’s Tomato soup & chicken broth on hand.  We love the brand, The Good Chip. Have you ever tried them? I think they taste…

  • **Hello Monday** {8.12.2024}

    Well, Hello Monday! Here we are back to another week.  Like the norm, I’m linking up with Holly and Sarah for Hello Monday and sharing a recap of our weekend. Friday, at school, we had our Tribal Reveal kickoff assembly. Addison is the green Bear tribe, and I’m so excited that I am the same tribe!  They also had a Fundraiser kickoff and I knew so many of the cuties that were called up. 😉  Friday night, I had a girl’s night out. We first headed to the Mexican restaurant and had a fan-tabulous time! We definitely got in lots of laughing.  Our main purpose of the night was to watch “It Ends with…

    Hey Hey Friday!! So happy to see you! We have finished our first full week with students and are starting to feel like we are back in a routine.  Like the norm, I’m linking up with the blogs AlittlebitofEverything and Momfessionals and sharing my favorite things from the week. Have you guys tried these Yasso Frozen Greek Yogurt bites? They are delicious and have been a new favorite this week. They’re a nice, little sweet treat.  Monday, after school, I had to run to the tire place because my tire had a nail in it, and I was afraid it would start leaking fast. Watching my little/big girl still play in the kid area…
