Hello Monday

  • **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…

    Happy Monday Everybody! How was your weekend? We had a great one with so much fun! It just went by too fast!  I got a call Friday afternoon from Addison’s school about her eyes being red. I picked her up and took her to the doctor. They said she might have pink eye, so gave her some drops. In 12 hours, she was good to go, and not contagious! 🙂 For being a great patient, we headed to get her ice cream afterward.  Saturday morning, we had reservations for Addison and her cousin Adalynn to have an Elsa spa day. We all went and grabbed lunch at Chicken Salad Chick…

    Hello Everybody! I can’t believe today is the last day of January! Craziness! Did you all have a good weekend? It was very cold here in Georgia, so I’m sure if you live North of me, it was very cold where you live. Today, I’m doing a recap of our weekend. Not too much excitement around here.  We started out Friday night heading to grab a bite to eat.  After we got home, I saw that there was possible snow on the radar, so we kept our eyes open. We were so excited when it finally arrived.  The next morning, there wasn’t much snow. Not even enough to play in.…

    Hey Hey Everybody! We are already back to a Monday. The weekends always fly by.  I’m sharing what little we were up to this weekend.  It started out pretty awesome because I felt like I needed some chocolate cookies in my life.  It was really cold Friday night, so Joey built a fire. It was a game night kind of night. We played some Hungry, Hungry Hippo and Zingo. Zingo is always my gift to recommend to any toddler between the ages of 3 & 5. So fun and a great way for students to learn.  After some game time, we finally watched Encanto. It was so good! Have you…

    Happy Monday! We are on Day 1 of Christmas break and super excited to rest, rejuvenate, and squeeze in lots of daily fun too.  Today, I’m doing a recap of our weekend.  Friday night, she wanted to have a sleepover in our bedroom. I walked in to see this, on my way to bed. Sweet girl.  I made these Red Velvet Cheesecake Bars for Joey’s Dad’s Christmas. They were very tasty and festive too.  Saturday morning, I did the usual, laundry and cleaning. Joey had to go work on a job. Addison and I ran to town to do some last minute shopping. When we all got back home, we decided…

    Whew! What a whirlwind weekend! One for the books. I want to remember every minute of it. Today, I’m giving a recap of our weekend. There was so much that I am breaking it into two posts. Part One today, part Two on Wednesday!  Friday night, Addison had dance rehearsal. It was nasty rain, but the real nasty weather came in on Saturday.  I got up, cleaned, wrapped some presents (I feel like it never ends), did some laundry and then we got ready for the dance recital.  The nastiest weather and heavy winds arrived when we were going to the performance. #ofcourse I just loved their costumes this year.…

    Hey Everybody! I can’t believe our weekend is over, and it’s already Monday. We had a fantastic fun-filled weekend. It was slammed full of Christmas fun; the best kind of weekend.  Friday was pajama day at Addison’s school. She was up early searching for Elfie.  Friday night, we headed to our nearby town for an awesome Christmas parade. It was so much fun, and the weather was perfect!  It was packed.  All the floats were so beautifully decorated.  There were so many lit up trucks.  Some of the floats even had blowing “snow”.  This float was probably my favorite. It was dressed just like the Polar Express.  This float even…

  • **Hello Monday** Cyber Monday Deals {11.29.2021}

    Happy Monday! How is everyone doing today? We are still getting over the Turkey coma and all the shopping. We just have 3 weeks until Christmas break, and we are really feeling the Christmas spirit around here.  I’m sharing everything that happened over our weekend.  Friday, I woke up really early at 3:30 and headed out with Joey’s Mom and sisters to shop until we dropped. We definitely got some good deals.  While I was out and about, I snagged a Pop the Pig from Target. I love using this game with my Kindergartners in Letter and Sound Recognition, Number Recognition, Sight Word Practice, the options are endless, and the…

  • **Hello Monday** Addison’s Birthday Weekend {11.15.2021}

    Today is a special day. Today, at 11:16 pm, 5 years ago, Addison Faith Hughes was born. She had a wild entrance into this world and has not slowed down since. She came screaming out and hasn’t stopped. We prayed for her for a long time and God answered our prayers.  She is spunky and full of personality. She keeps us rolling with her funny sayings. We are truly blessed she is in our lives. Some days are hard. But the saying is so true… The days are long, but the years are short.  I’m sharing about our weekend recap which includes her birthday party, and then I’ll do a…
