• **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…

  • **Friday Favorites** {8.9.2024}

    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…

  • **Back 2 School Brinner** {8.7.2024}

    Last week, on August 1st, was our first day of the new school year.  So, the night before I made my annual back to school brinner. It’s always so fun and a great tradition.  I’m usually extra busy myself, being a teacher, so I just try to add a few decorations. But you can definitely add more and really make it fun!  I served mostly normal breakfast items. I had the typical bacon and eggs. I made up some of my Sausage Muffins. I also had waffles and fruit. Sometimes I’ll do grits and have donuts, but this year I kept it simple.  I got her a new backpack and lunchbox…

    Happy Monday friends! How was your weekend?  Like the norm, I’m linking up with Holly and Sarah for Hello Monday and sharing a recap of our weekend. Friday, we celebrated Bree turning the big 30!!! She is definitely thirty, flirty, and thriving. 😉  We left right when school was out and headed up to Blue Ridge for a short camping trip. This was a rescheduled trip from May. It’s about an hour and 3o minutes from our house, so not a bad drive.  Addison jumped out and headed to the creek right away.  After picking up some BBQ for dinner, we took a little walk around the park and ended up at the playground. …

  • **Friday Favorites** {8.2.2024}

    Whew! What a whirlwind of a week. The beginning of the school year is always so exhausting even though today is just the second day with students.   Like the norm, I’m linking up with the blogs AlittlebitofEverything and Momfessionals and sharing my favorite things from the week. Monday, I had this delicious pizza leftover for lunch. It was a favorite!  Addison’s sweet teacher from last year sent her a good luck card. She was so excited!   Monday night, we went out to eat with Joey’s Dad and Christy. They took me out for my birthday. 🙂 Tuesday, I was laughing at Bree and Cathy putting up our lights. I told Bree to not sit…

  • **What’s up Wednesday** {7.31.2024}

    It’s the last Wednesday of the month. I am 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 ya’ll because this one is a long one. 🙂 1. What We Are Eating This Week: Sunday: We ate with Mom & Dad. She cooked chicken & rice casserole, fried okra/squash/zucchini, green beans, and candied sweet potatoes Monday: Joey’s Dad & Christy took me out for my birthday Tuesday: was…

  • **Hello Monday** {7.29.2024}

    Hey Hey Monday!! How was your weekend?  Like the norm, I’m linking up with Holly and Sarah for Hello Monday and sharing a recap of our weekend. Friday, we had Meet n’ Greet at school. I had to take a pic of Bree and document that she was there at 6:30. Haha! Joey brought Addison. Her and Adalynn were able to walk around together. I can’t believe she’s going to 2nd grade.  Friday night, we had a pretty chill night because we knew we were having a busy weekend.  Saturday morning, we got up and packed up some things to head south. We were going to visit with Caroline, Britney and all our girls…

  • **Friday Favorites** {7.26.2024}

    Well, I’m officially back partly in the swing of things. We have had preplanning this week and have 3 more days next week. I told my friends, it’s only day 3, and I’m having a hard time getting up early. Haha!  Like the norm, I’m linking up with the blogs AlittlebitofEverything and Momfessionals and sharing my favorite things from the week. Monday, I had to get blood work which is not really a favorite, but I treated myself with a Starbucks after.  While we were home, I looked around and recognized so many things that I needed to do on my last day of summer break.  I pulled some weeds from the flower beds…

  • **Hello Monday** {7.22.2024}

    Well it’s officially the last day of summer break. I can’t believe it’s already over. We have had a great one.  Like the norm, I’m linking up with Holly and Sarah for Hello Monday and sharing a recap of our weekend and last week. Last Monday, I got up and made me a cup of ambition in my new cup I got in Tennessee. 😉  We packed a lunch and some water wear and headed to meet up with friends at the park and splash pad. It was soooo hot, so we only stayed a couple hours. Me & Brit were melting.  Tuesday, Addison and I had an appt to get her passport.  Then,…

  • **July Weekend Trip** {7.17.2024}

    Last weekend, we headed north for one last hoorah for the summer.  Joey worked a half day on Thursday, and we left for Tennessee.  We took the camper. It’s just easier to have our own space. We got set up and headed to grab a pizza.  Addison was begging to get in the pool, so we hurried back for her to do a quick swim.  She also wanted to ride her bike and walk in the river.  We stayed at Sun Outdoors RV Resort and love the location and all the amenities for kids.  Friday morning, Joey went for an early run. This woke the dog up, so I went…
