• **Let’s Look At…. My Morning Routine** {5.10.2023}

    Today is a fun day! It’s a little link up day.  On the second Wednesday of every month, I’m linking up with Shay from MixandMatchMama and Erika from ALittleBitofEverything. Today we are talking about my morning routine.  I get up and going early. A very dark 4:30. Addison had a little bit of a restless night up and down off and on all night.  My alarm was going off at 4:37, so I went ahead and crawled out of bed. Already wishing for a nap that will not be coming.  Colleen Rothschild is always my go-to for my nighttime and morning routine.  In the evening, I use the Radiant Cleansing Balm which literally…

  • **Hello Monday** {5.8.2023}

    Hello Friends, we officially only have two more Mondays left this school year! So happy and ready!  Like the norm, I’m linking up with Holly and Sarah for Hello Monday and sharing a recap of our weekend. So true right now! 😉  Friday, being Cinco de Mayo, I wanted to do something a little fun for the teachers. I had called about 5 different Mexican restaurants and finally got a yes with Mr. Joe’s Taco trucks! They were the best hit!! Delicious!  I had to work a little late Friday.. I was trying to get everything prepared for this week and things weren’t lining up. However, I finally was able to dip out about…

  • **Friday Favorites** {5.5.2023}

    Happy Happy Friday friends!! We have made it through another week!  Like the norm, I’m linking up with the blogs AlittlebitofEverything and Momfessionals and sharing my favorite things from the week. On Monday, Addison and I had to make a Home Goods stop. 😉  She was a cleaning mode after school, and my OCD Mama heart wasn’t hating it. She even wanted to sweep off the trampoline.  Here we are twinning, in our orange/coral and white pants, which is always a favorite!  I got my hair done this week. It always looks so much better when she does it! Can I just have a person come to my house to wash and dry my…

  • **Spring Break Recap ~ The Outer Banks** Part II {5.3.2023}

    Happy Happy Wednesday Friends!! Today I’m sharing the second part of our Spring Break vacation. I’m finally getting to it. 😉 Settle in because I’m planning to finish it all in this post.  If you missed Part I, check it out here.  Monday morning we were awake to chilly but sunny weather. This day we had plans to go north up the coast to Corolla to see the wild horses.  We left about 11 to head that way. We stopped by a few shops in the cute little town of Duck, NC, on the way up.  We used Corolla Jeep Tours, and we were very pleased with everything. We had…

  • **Hello Monday** {5.1.2023}

    I can’t believe it’s May guys! I love this month! It’s super busy, but it feels like the gateway to Summer!  Like the norm, I’m linking up with Holly and Sarah for Hello Monday and sharing a recap of our weekend. Friday night, Joey and his Dad worked on putting the shingles on our patio. I grilled hamburgers with onions and baked beans. It was a nice evening.  Addison begged to have a sleepover in our room. We obliged. Princess was worn out.  The next morning, we were up early for soccer Saturday! And, we had some special guest come watch Addison play. Addison was very excited to see Adalynn.  After the game,…

    Happy Happy Friday!!! TGIF! I am ready for the weekend!  Like the norm, I’m linking up with the blogs AlittlebitofEverything and Momfessionals and sharing my favorite things from the week. Addison got lots of pampering this week. Monday, we started at the hair salon right after school. She needed a cut bad. We got about 3-4 inches cut off, and she loves it!  She wanted to work on painting her new bunny ceramic figurine. Doesn’t everyone paint in Moana attire?  She had a dentist checkup appointment another afternoon. I picked up my cousin Isabel and brought her along. They had the best time playing after school! Another cousin, sweet Lilah, just had her adenoids…

  • **What’s up Wednesday** {4.26.2023}

    It’s the  last Wednesday of the month. On this day, I link up with Mix and Match Mama and Sheaffer. I am 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.  Grab your coffee, tea, lemonade, or whatever you’re sipping on and settle in. 🙂 1. What We Are Eating This Week: I feel like when this part of the year hits; it’s so hard to plan for what to cook, and we are so busy! So, this is…

  • **Hello Monday** {4.24.2023}

    Happy Monday Friends!! How are you today? We had another great weekend jam packed with family time.  Like the usual, I’m linking up with Holly and Sarah for Hello Monday and sharing a recap of our weekend. Friday night, we worked late. Joey and I spread some mulch then we all headed to grab a quick bite for dinner. We were back and in bed by 9. It was wonderful!  We were up early Saturday morning and off to the soccer field. We only had three players show up. One of the players on the other team, was so sweet and said he would join our team.  The guys are still making lots of…

  • **Friday Favorites** {4.21.2023}

    Happy Happy Friday!! Whew! It’s been a busy, busy week! I’m so glad it’s almost the weekend! Like the norm, I’m linking up with the blogs AlittlebitofEverything and Momfessionals and sharing my favorite things from the week. I had a Teams meeting on Tuesday with some Middle School personnel regarding upcoming sixth grade students. It’s always fun seeing some familiar faces at the receiving school.  Tuesday night, we had STEM night. I was stationed in the Robotics room. There were Bee bots and Osmobots in our room. The kids loved them! I got to snap a few pics of Adalynn.  This week is Teacher Appreciation at Addison’s school. We love Mrs. Lindsey and have…

  • **Spring Break Recap ~ The Outerbanks** Part I {4.19.2023}

    A couple weeks back was our Spring Break, and we decided to go somewhere different. We chose the Outerbanks because none of us had been there. None of us anticipated the distance to this location. Haha!  We started our journey on Friday, after school, about 5:00.  We made a pit stop and grabbed Addison some more snacks. LOL We ended up stopping to sleep just north of Charlotte about 11:30 that night. Our room was very nice and cozy.  The next morning, we were up bright and early, ate breakfast, then started back on the road. We were excited when we finally saw water. This was crossing the bridge, over…
