**Hello Monday** {3.7.2022}
Well, Hello Monday! Can’t believe you’re already here. We had a fabulously fun weekend. Today, I’m doing a quick recap. Friday, we had a special author, Bonnie Clark, close out our Read Across America week. She read her book, “Taste Your Words“. It was super cute! I would definitely order this for my classroom, if I still had my own classroom. I may even order it to read to Addison. Some teacher “volunteers” had to do a Jelly Bean Boozled challenge. They didn’t know what flavor they got until after chewing the jelly bean. It was hilarious, and we were thankful we didn’t get voluntold. 😉 Friday, one of my…

**Friday Favorites** {3.4.2022}
Yay for Friday and an upcoming beautiful weekend!! We are so excited to get outside and get some Vitamin D. Like the norm, I’m linking up with the blogs AlittlebitofEverything and Momfessionals and sharing our favorites from the week. This week at mine and Addison’s school, we celebrated Read Across America week. We had dress up days every day. I didn’t participate every day, but I had Addison. Monday, she had a stomach ache, and was not feeling the picture. Ha! It was silly sock day. Tuesday was crazy hair and mustache day. I started out with a cup in her hair, and it was doing okay, but a few minutes in, and it…

**Weekend Recap** {2.28.2022}
I can’t believe today is the last day of February! Where did the month go? Our Winter Break is over, and we are back to the grind today. But we only have 5 weeks until our next break, but who’s counting. 😉 We had a nice, little weekend. Friday, Addison and I did a little boutique shopping before heading to Target. I was supposed to go to dinner with the girls, but a sick child and babysitter ended those plans. It’s always so hard to get us all together. Joey got off work a little early, and we headed to the park to ride the bike and practice soccer. The…

**Friday Favorites** {2.25.2022}
Happy Friday!!! We have had a great Winter Break, and we are getting really sad that it’s almost over. Like the norm, I’m linking up with the blogs AlittlebitofEverything and Momfessionals and sharing our favorites from the week. We thought “Hope” was lost because we hadn’t seen her since we went to the mountains right after Christmas. But, she was just hiding in a secret compartment in our luggage. I wonder how she got there.. Hmmmm….. We didn’t do a lot on Monday. It was a yucky weather day. I packed for our trip and painted this cuties toes. Tuesday morning, we were up early and grabbed a tea for the road. I picked…

**What’s up Wednesday** {2.23.2022}
Happy Wednesday!! We are halfway through our Winter break, and I’m starting to already stress about what little time we have left. Today’s post is all about what we have been up to. I am linking up with the blogs Mix and Match Mama and Sheaffer. I share 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. 1. What We Are Eating This Week: This week, being on break, is a little different. So, keep that in mind. 😉 Sunday: Stuffed Bell…

**Weekend Recap** {2.21.2022}
Well, we are officially on Winter Break this week, and we are loving it! We have just been taking it easy around here and doing lots of playing. Mom & Dad sent Addison some Valentine’s cookies, and they finally arrived on Friday. She was so excited to open them! Her face is priceless. Joey didn’t get home Friday night until around 10, so we had a lazy Saturday morning. I did the usual- cleaning, laundry, organizing. I ran to the grocery store, and Joey did some work around the house. He also washed and cleaned my car. I vacuumed it out! Thanks, honey! Adalynn had planned to spend the night…

Yessss!! We finally made it to Friday! Our Winter Break is next week, so we are definitely pumped around here! Like usual, I’m linking up with the blogs AlittlebitofEverything and Momfessionals and sharing our favorites from the week. My sweet Valentine was a favorite. I’m on the Joy Club at my school. We surprised the staff with donuts for Valentine’s day! “We do-not know what we would do without you”. Addison’s teacher sent me a sweet picture from her Valentine’s day. 😉 And, I won a gift card from admin. Free coffee is always a favorite! This cutie with heart sunglasses was a favorite. She has loved rocking out to them this week. Heart…

**Valentine Weekend Recap** {2.16.2022}
Well, it’s Wednesday, and I’m back! Sorry I didn’t really post on Monday, we were just having too much fun on Sunday and Sunday night, so I didn’t get the post done. So, I’m sharing all about our weekend, today! Friday was one of our coworkers last day. So, we had all the sweets to wish her well in her next endeavor. Addison had plans to spend the night with Joey’s Dad, Friday night. The weather was beautiful, so we had a few minutes of play time before he picked her up. And, they did the sweetest things for the girls. They made pizzas which I know Addison was loving,…
