**Friday Favorites** {7.1.2022}
Happy Happy Friday!! How is it already July? The Summer is flying by, and it really needs to hit the breaks. I’m not ready for it to be over! Like the usual, I’m linking up with the blogs AlittlebitofEverything and Momfessionals and sharing our favorites from the week. Cousin sleepovers are always a favorite. Addison had a blast staying with Adalynn. The girls were complete with makeup. 😉 We visited with my Papa one day this week. He and Addison enjoyed bouncing the balloon back and forth. Sweetness I canned dill pickles this week. We have cucumbers coming in out the wazoo. Fun fact you may not know about me…. I don’t like cucumbers…

**Hello Monday** MB Vacation Part I {6.27.2022}
Well, Hello Everybody! I’m back after taking a week off. It was wonderful relaxing and spending time with my family, but I’m happy to be back! I’m linking up with Holly and Sarah for Hello Monday and sharing a recap of Part I of our vacation. We left right after church last Sunday, Father’s day, to head to camp at North Myrtle Beach, SC. My parents had already been there for a week, so we met up with them. We love this campground, and I have been coming here since I was a toddler. We always see many of the same people every year, and it’s so great! The kids and grandkids have…

**Summer Reading** {6.15.2022}
Happy Wednesday!! We are in full force summer break mode even though the first day of summer is still a few days away. If you know me at all, you know that in the summer, I am reading as much as possible. Especially when I’m at the beach. I love the books that have to do with beaches or beach towns. They just make me so happy. So, today, I’m sharing with you some books that are on my to-read list for this summer. And if you have some you think I should add, please let me know! I’m giving you Amazon’s synopsis since I haven’t read them yet. I enjoy…

**Hello Monday** {6.13.2022}
Hey Hey Monday!! How is everyone doing on this lovely day? I’m linking up with Holly and Sarah for Hello Monday and sharing a recap of our weekend! Friday, Addison and I did a little shopping. Then, we had plans to meet our friends for lunch. We grabbed some pizza on the patio, and a dance party on the patio was definitely a favorite. Right next to the pizza place was Dairy Queen. So, we caved and got them some ice cream. We left town and headed back to their house to let the kiddos swim a little while. Of course, a couple of them got hurt. (One being my child. Never fails)…

**Let’s Look At…. Our Go-To Summer Lunches** {6.8.2022}
Hey, Hey Wednesday!! How’s everyone doing today? The weather is pretty dreary here today. I’m very excited because I’m linking up with Shay from MixandMatchMama and Erika from ALittleBitofEverything and talking about our go-to summer lunches. I thought I would kick the post off with a typical breakfast. And, I try to provide lots of cut up fruit, because you know kids are asking for a snack every 5 minutes. Here’s a typical summer lunch. We do a lot of Bento box style lunches complete with a little bit of protein, some crunch, cheese, and fruit. Sometimes, we will do pizza or a peanut butter & jelly sandwich. And sometimes we go…

**Friday Favorites & Father’s Day Gift Ideas** {6.3.2022}
Happy First Friday in June! How’s everyone doing on this glorious day! Can you tell I’m a little giddy? It is my second day of Summer break, so I’m extra excited about all the fun that is about to start! Like the norm, I’m linking up with the blogs AlittlebitofEverything and Momfessionals and sharing our favorites from the week and some Father’s Day gift ideas! I mean, I always need help in gift ideas for the men in our lives. They are so hard to buy for! This week, I packed up my classroom for the end of my 14th year. Next year, I’ll be in a new role. I’m super excited about it,…

**Memorial Day Weekend Recap** {6.1.2022}
Hello Wednesday, and my last official day this school year. Today is our last day of post-planning, so I’ve been boxing my classroom up and moving things, and now I’m ready for a few weeks of relaxation. Today, I’m sharing our last day of school with students and what we did this past weekend. Here’s my last early morning alarm. Friday morning, we were up and excited. Here’s a side by side of first day of TK and last day of TK. I can really tell her face has changed. She looks more like an older kid. Lots of last day pictures. And here I am with my morning car…

**Summer Bucket List** {5.18.2022}
Happy Wednesday!! Today, I’m sharing our bucket list for the Summer! I can’t believe I’m saying that! We are so excited!! I asked A earlier this week to think about some things she wants to do this summer! She was super excited and ready to spill all the things she wants to do. Thinking hard about what she wants to do…. This is what she came up with! She was very happy about it. 😉 Go to Waterpark (Outdoor Aquatic Center) Go to the Park to Play (with friends) Grandpa’s Water Slide (Joey’s Dad has a slip n’ slide, so she definitely wants to do this!) Go to the Beach…

**Southwest Chicken Rice Bowls** {5.4.2022}
Grilling season is here, and I made this delicious recipe the other day and foresee many more nights of making it this Summer! It was So GOOD!! Believe me, if you start making it, you will want it often! You will crave it! Trust Me! Happy Wednesday and Happy Grilling! Step 1 – Grill your chicken breasts and some corn (you can use frozen corn… but grilled is always the way to go in my opinion), slice the corn off the cob and slice/dice up the chicken. Step 2 – While the chicken is cooking, cook 1 1/2 cups Basmati rice. Follow the package directions. Remove it from the heat…

** Fourth of July Trip Recap Part II** {7.21.2021}
Happy Wednesday! Last week, while chatting about our trip, I left off on Sunday, the Fourth of July. If you missed Part I, read it here. Today, I’m sharing the second part of our trip. At this point of our trip, the weather is getting really iffy. There is a Tropical Storm/Hurricane heading towards Florida, and at this point the meteorologists are not sure which way it’s going to turn and where it’s going to land. Joey really doesn’t want to be in our camper if there’s a hurricane coming, and I don’t really want to either. Originally, our plan was to leave Panama City Beach, on Monday, and drive…
