• **Hello Monday** {1.22.2024}

    Hello Friends!! We are already back at Monday. The weekend’s go by way too quickly! I’m linking up with Holly and Sarah for Hello Monday and sharing a recap of our weekend. Friday night, we met up with Joey’s Dad and siblings for dinner. He brought the girls this sweet Dancer Deer, and they were smitten. They wanted to do a photo shoot. It was so sweet.  Saturday morning, we were up early for another early basketball game. And it was a cold 8 degrees. Brrrr…. The girls were neck in neck with the other team. We ended up losing by one point.  The only good thing about an early game is…

    TGIF!! Even though we only had a 3 day week, we are always ready for the weekend. 🙂 We had Monday off for MLK day then they called off Tuesday for predicted weather.  Per the usual, I’m linking up with the blogs AlittlebitofEverything and Momfessionals and sharing my favorite things from the week. Monday, we were out of school, and we took up most of the day giving all our attention to Milo, our new puppy. We are all smitten.  Addison and I headed to TJ Maxx to find him some toys, a bed, and anything else he might need. 😉  When we got back home, I did a little breakfast prep for the…

  • **Let’s Look at…. How We Clean our Closets** {1.17.2024}

    Happy Happy Wednesday friends!! I can’t believe we are already back to a new year of Let’s Look posts. Typically, we post on the 2nd Wednesday of the month, but this month, because of how the New Year fell, it got moved to today.  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, to kickoff the new year, we are talking about how we clean our closets.  Well, this is a daunting task that is not fun, and I do not enjoy. However, usually this time of year, I go through my closet and clean out anything…

    Happy Monday friends!! We are out of school for MLK day, so we are enjoying and loving an extra day of rest.  Today, I’m linking up with Holly and Sarah for Hello Monday and sharing a recap of our weekend  We had a rainy Friday night, so we stayed in. I cooked lasagna with salad and bread. We had an early bedtime because we had to leave the house at 7:15, Saturday morning, for A’s bball game.  This was the first game back of the new year. We have been off almost a month. I think most of the girls were asleep. They didn’t wake up until about half time.  We lost 8-10. And,…

    Happy Friday!! This week being the first week back from break has seemed like an eternity.  Like the norm, I’m linking up with the blogs AlittlebitofEverything and Momfessionals and sharing my favorite things from the week. Today’s post is short and sweet because we have had a really busy week, and I foresee the next few weeks being just as busy.  Unfortunately, this has been a favorite this week. I have not been feeling well. I had a horrible headache for two days straight, and I was tired of taking so much Advil. I don’t like taking medicine, but it was to the point I was having to take it around the clock. My…

  • **Christmas 2023 Recap** {1.10.2024}

    Today is a long post, but I’m sharing all about our Christmas events and gatherings.  I had to work all the way until Friday, December 22nd. It was a teacher workday and thankfully, we were able to leave right around lunchtime.  There was a cute, little Christmas German Market setup in our town. So, we met up with Whitley’s family and had a great time. It was so much fun and lots of things for the kids to do too! Santa was there also! It was a great hit!  Unfortunately, a lot of sickness hit some of our family this year, and we didn’t get to celebrate together. We were…

    Happy Happy Friday!!

Addison cracked up at this one.  Monday evening, we met up with Joey, and my parents tagged along to this awesome Home Alone pop up. Look at all the amazing-ness. It was so…

  • **Santa Christmas Pictures** {12.20.2023}

    Today, I’m sharing pictures from our sweet Santa session(s). Ha! If you remember, when we went to our original time, Joey wasn’t able to make it because he was stuck at work. Booo!  So, we reserved two sessions. Good grief!  Settle in guys… these are some of my favorite things.  And then these are from when Joey made it to the second session with all of us.  I feel like I look very tired in these. Probably because I am. Hahaha!   Merry Christmas from the Hughes family!  I will see you all back here on Friday! It will be my last post of 2023.  xo Thank you to Amazon and…
