Happy Wednesday Everybody!! Today, I have a fun little linkup. I’m linking up with Shay from MixandMatchMama and Erika from ALittleBitofEverything and talking about how I plan/do date nights. Joey and I don’t get to do date nights very often. Mainly because we like to all be together. A lot of times we will do date night, even with Addison. I include that in our date night category.  If it is going to be the two of us, we typically just go to dinner. Sometimes, Joey will make reservations ahead of time.  Here we are after his birthday meal.  The other week, we did go to the movies- just the two of us.…

Happy Wednesday Everybody!! Today, I have a fun little linkup. I’m linking up with Shay from MixandMatchMama and Erika from ALittleBitofEverything and talking about some favorites from High School & College as well as some other fun tidbits. 😉 This was my High School. Cherokee High. We were the Warriors. My Mom even went to this high school. This was what the building looked like when I started. During my time there, they built a new gym, so the second picture is of it. I actually graduated in the new gym the year it opened. That was in 2003. I graduated with about 300 something students.  I had many crazy, fun times during…

Happy Wednesday Everybody! I’ve got a fun little link-up post for you. I’m linking up with Shay from MixandMatchMama and Erika from ALittleBitofEverything and talking about what I/we eat in a week.  So, since starting Noom and Joey doing Keto, our menu looks a little different from week’s past.  This is a typical breakfast for me. Addison and I eat breakfast around 6:00 and leave to head to school around 6:15. So, 2 eggs, 1 slice of Canadian Bacon, Strawberries/Raspberries, and Coffee with 2 teaspoons of Half/Half, and 1 teaspoon of stevia.  Some days, I will make oatmeal and put stevia in it to sweeten.  Most Sunday afternoons are spent meal prepping for…

Hello Everyone! I can’t believe it’s already the second Wednesday of the New Year, 2022! I’ve got a fun little link-up post for you. I’m linking up with Shay from MixandMatchMama and Erika from ALittleBitofEverything and talking about how I organize and prepare for the New Year. I feel like I have to start the new month/year with getting a new calendar for our home and writing everything down that is scheduled. We are each a different color. Joey is blue, Addison is purple, and I’m pink. Anything for all of us, or just in general, is in black.  I also have a Life Planner by Erin Condren that I use to keep…

I’m linking up with Shay from MixandMatchMama and Erika from ALittleBitofEverything and talking about our Thanksgiving menu. Can you believe I’m even talking about this? I can’t believe it’s only 3 weeks away!  Today, I’m sharing lots of recipes that are tried and true. They are all sides. I’m all about the sides. I don’t really care about the meat. Maybe Ham, but not really the Turkey. I can hear some people gasping. #sorrynotsorry Creamy Macaroni-n- Cheese Ingredients 1 lb elbow macaroni 1/2 c. butter 1/2 c. flour 4 c. milk 6 c. shredded sharp cheddar cheese 1 TB garlic salt pepper to taste 2 TB butter 1/2 c. panko bread crumbs Instructions Boil pasta…

Hey guys! Happy Wednesday! Today I’ve got a fun little link-up post for you. I’m linking up with Shay from MixandMatchMama and Erika from ALittleBitofEverything and talking about how we store our holiday decor.  I’m excited and eager to see how everyone organizes their Holiday decor. It always makes me giddy to see into other people’s homes. Ha!  I took pictures of what I do and where I store all my things. It’s nothing earth shattering, but it works for us. We store most of our Holiday decor in different plastic bins that I got from Target, in our basement. They’re all in a room beside our stairs. I put all the same Holiday…

Hey guys! Happy Wednesday! Today I’ve got a fun little link-up post for you. I’m linking up with Shay from MixandMatchMama and Erika from ALittleBitofEverything and talking about all things meal planning.  I typically start planning the next week’s meal the week before. I try to have everything planned by Thursday, Friday at the latest, so I can run to the grocery store on Friday after work.  I typically peruse through different cookbooks, family recipes,  Websites/Pinterest, or even social media like Instagram, to find some things that sound good. I really try to change it up, and don’t typically make the same things often.  *************************************************** One of my favorite places to look for…

Happy Wednesday!!  Today is another fun little link-up party.  I’m linking up with Shay from MixandMatchMama and Erika from ALittleBitofEverything and talking about all things phone.   I had to get a new phone last year. I had an iPhone XR, but the camera on it wasn’t good anymore. I upgraded to an iPhone 12 Pro and have been very happy with it. I have a Loopy case and love it! It’s great for carrying the phone around and for holding while taking pictures. If you’ve never checked them out, I highly recommend them. 🙂 Up bright and early. What time is your alarm set for?  Alright, so now I will dive into…

Happy Wednesday!!  Today is another fun little link-up party.  I’m linking up with Shay from MixandMatchMama and Erika from ALittleBitofEverything and talking about our outdoor organization.  Our outdoor organization could be better. This was us last year when we got the big unicorn float. If it was up to Addison, it would live in the living room.  Unicorn Float  Last year, we stacked all the floats/things here, at this spot, on our back porch.  It’s not ideal, but last year with Covid and everything closed, we made do. Ideally, I would love to get one of these storage containers to put everything in.  All-Weather Storage Container Right now, the unicorn is housed in our…
