  • **Let’s Look at…. Favorite Traditions** {12.8.2021}

    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 our favorite traditions. Can you believe this is our last Let’s Look post of 2021. This year flew by.  This meme pretty much sums up how I feel this time of year. I want to fit in as much fun as possible everyday. 😉 I have so many traditions that I like to happen. I’m going to share some from last year and maybe a few from this year because we haven’t gotten to them all yet.  We usually start the season off with Elfie…

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…

  • **Let’s Look at…. Holiday Decor Storage** {10.13.2021}

    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…

  • **Let’s Look at….Meal Planning** {9.8.2021}

    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…

  • **Let’s Look at….. Phone, Apps & Such** {8.11.2021}

    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…

  • **Let’s Look at…. Outdoor Organization**{5.12.2021}

    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…

  • **Let’s Look at…. Our Fridge & Pantry** {4.14.2021}

    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 fridge & pantry.  Y’all, as I was taking pictures of my pantry, I was a little embarrassed. I felt as if I have food everywhere. I took these pictures Sunday night, when we had just gotten home from our 4 day vacation, and I was doing all the laundry and unpacking and trying to get ready for the week… I really thought about cleaning and organizing but decided, no. I’m not taking the time to do that right now. So, here it is… my pantry in all its glory.…

    Happy Wednesday and Happy St. Patrick’s Day!! I hope you all have on your green. 😉  Today is a little link-up party.  I’m linking up with Shay from MixandMatchMama and Erika from ALittleBitofEverything to talk about our perfect night in.  So, now that we are doing a lot more nights in, because Covid, we are having to have more date nights in. When thinking about a perfect night in, I have to think outside the box, so I don’t just say veg out to Netflix. Ha! Anyone else? Here’s a list of things that would make a perfect night in for us.  FOOD: I would either have Joey grill some steaks or order take out.…

  • **Let’s Look at….. my Coffee Bar** {1.13.2021}

    Happy Wednesday!! It’s a New Year, and a new link-up party. Today, I’m linking up with Shay from MixandMatchMama and Erika from ALittleBitofEverything to talk about my Coffee bar.  Here are the topics for the year…I’m excited about them!  I do enjoy coffee….. I enjoy the smell of it, I enjoy the taste of it (with some sweetener and cream). I enjoy buying it at Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks. It’s such a fun little thing. My husband can drink his black. We use Dunkin Donuts French Vanilla coffee. I like 1 scoop of Stevia sweetener in my cup and 2 teaspoons of creamer.  At Starbucks, my favorite drink is a seasonal one- Caramel…

  • **Let’s Look at…. our CHRISTMAS cards** {12.9.2020}

    Happy Wednesday!! Today, I’m linking up with Shay from MixandMatchMama and Erika from ALittleBitofEverything to talk about our Christmas cards.  Today, I’m sharing our 2020 Christmas cards. But first, I’m going to share our pictures with Santa.  We go visit the best Santa and photographer. They’re always both so patient and so good with the children. We just love going to see them every year.  Addison did so good this year. I remember not so many years ago, she was screaming in his lap or anytime he got near her or even looked at her. She was mesmerized by him this year. And it was so sweet.  So sweet and special.  Here’s our 2020…
