  • Girl’s day for Addison’s Birthday {11.20.19}

    I took off last Friday, and we celebrated Addison’s birthday with a girl’s trip to American girl store and bistro. My sister n’ law, niece, and mother n’ law went with us. The weather was yucky, and the girls insisted on using the umbrella.  They played for a little bit before our reservation.  Then it was time for lunch. The girls were cute “feeding” their dolls.  We took a last picture with the tree then went to ride the carousel.  We had a great day celebrating our little ray of sunshine. See you back here on Friday for Friday Favorites!  xoxo

  • *Seaside Vacay* Part One {Sept. 2019}

    Last week on my week off, we headed down to Santa Rosa Beach, FL to enjoy our last hoorah of the summer! Even though it’s almost October, we still had highs in the 90’s. Get ready for picture overload. 😉  Addison woke up sick that morning, so we got a little later start than we had anticipated.  Here we are at the Florida welcome center.  That night we got unloaded, went to the grocery store and grabbed a pizza. We were beat after the drive.  We got up early the next morning and headed for some sand and sun. 😉  Joey and the big girls did a lot of this,…

  • Back to School {8.7.19}

    I don’t know about you guys, but this getting back into the school routine is kicking my behind.  I’m totally swamped at school/work right now. And there doesn’t seem to be a slow down in sight.  So, this post is going to be short and sweet.  Here’s what we are eating this week.  This is not healthy at all. I’m hoping to get back on track next week or soon, once we get back in the flow.   Sunday: Roast, mashed potatoes, mac n’ cheese (for Addison), Lima Beans, and Peanut Butter cake for dessert Monday: Homestyle Meatballs, fried eggplant, and rice Tuesday: Joey’s Mom invited us for dinner. We had…

  • Weekend Recap – {7.29.2019}

    We had a nice weekend. We didn’t do a lot of exciting things but just spending time together was just what this Mama needed.  We started off Friday evening with some jumping time!  Saturday, during the day, we didn’t do a whole lot. Addison loves fruit and this morning she chose banana. She wants to sit in a regular chair now and not in her high chair. Notice it in the background. That makes this Mama’s heart sad. #staylittle That evening, we decided to take a walk. It was a nice night. Our kitty, Giggles, decided to join.  #daddysgirl Here we are ready for church. #sometimesmamasgirl We were pretty lazy…

  • Weekend Recap {7.20.19} – Dollywood

    We had a great, long weekend! It was a last hoorah before I start back to school this week. It always makes me sad, but I love a routine. So, once I get back in the groove it’s not too bad.  We took off Thursday around lunchtime to go camping at Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. We have season passes to Dollywood, so we want to make sure we get our money’s worth.  We got up there and set up just in time to go grab some pizza. Then, we hit up Krispy Kreme. I know someone who wasn’t disappointed. 😉 After dinner, we still had a little time before bedtime, so…

  • Cousin Fun and Prime Day Deals 2019

    We had a fun Monday! I shopped for some things on Amazon that morning and throughout the day that I needed wanted.  😉 I’ll share some of my finds further down.  We went that morning and signed up for dance. We are so excited our cousin Adalynn will be dancing with Addison. I think they’re going to be adorable and hope they’re going to have so much fun!  After dance sign-ups, we went to the pool. We had so much fun, and Addison loved playing with her cousins.  See… cousins really are the best. We love these sweet girls!  And then when we got home…. I mean who goes outside…

  • Weekend Recap ** July 15th Edition **

    Today, I’m sharing a little bit about our weekend. It’s been a great one and easy-going. Just the kind we like.  Today begins Amazon Prime days, which I’m super excited about. I’m hoping they have some good things I need want. 😉 We started off our Friday finishing up swim lessons with Mrs. B. Although she was still hesitant about letting go, she did well (for a 2 year old). She’s kicking in the bathtub and using her swimmy lips when she goes underwater, so I’m taking that as a win!  We attempted to nap after swim lessons, but it wasn’t happening. So, we made our way to our friend’s…

  • *Weekend Recap & 4th of July Highlights*

    We had a great weekend!! Today I am going to be sharing about what we did on the 4th and our weekend!! 🙂  We woke up bright and early to go to the morning parade. Thankfully Joey’s family got there ahead of us to save us a spot…. in the shade!! #thankyouthankyou It’s always a precious little parade… We love going. It just feels so homey and southern. Everybody is so nice and they not only give out candy but also beaded necklaces, flags and this time even stuffed animals!  Sweet cousin time!  After we left the parade, we went to visit with one of Joey’s Granny’s. When we got…

  • Friday Favorites **Go Braves**

    Happy Friday!!! Whew, what a week!!  Today I’m linking up with Erika and Andrea to tell you about some Favorites for this week!  I found these earrings and have been wearing them a lot lately. They are super light, and they come with 4 different styles: 2 light brown colored and 2 medium brown colored…. At $12.99 I had to try them out.  We had a fun week!
