Summer

  • **Friday Favorites** {7.22.2022}

    Hey Hey Friday!!! Where has the summer gone? Today is my last official day of summer break. On Monday, I start my 15th year of teaching. I’m sad that our easy mornings and days are over, but I’m excited to get back into a routine and see those sweet little ones.  I’m linking up with the blogs AlittlebitofEverything and Momfessionals and sharing our favorites from the week. We got home from the beach on Monday evening. We quickly unpacked and repacked because Tuesday we headed to the lake house for an overnight girl’s night. I’ll share our beach vacation at a later date.  We arrived at the lake house a little after lunch on…

    Happy Friday friends on this beautiful summer day! How was your week? We are really trying to squeeze it all in because we only have 1 full week of Summer left. I can’t believe it!  I’m linking up with the blogs AlittlebitofEverything and Momfessionals and sharing our favorites from the week.  On Monday, Mom went with us to Buy Buy Baby to grab Addison a few things in preparation for her upcoming school year. She was all about this giraffe. She thought she needed it.  On Tuesday, we were up fairly early getting ready to meet up with some friends at the aquatic center. Addison wanted to eat at her desk and was enjoying…

    Happy Friday Everyone! How are you? I cannot believe how fast summer is flying by. I really only have 2 more weeks, and I’ll be back at work! What in the world?!?  Per the norm, I’m linking up with the blogs AlittlebitofEverything and Momfessionals and sharing our favorites from the week.  Since I didn’t do a recap of last weekend, I’m sharing it all today.  Last Friday, we headed to the mall to do some shopping at Sephora. The mall was a ghost town.  I grabbed some new perfume. I love how fresh this smells for the summer! It’s a new favorite!  Replica Sailing Day We had plans to meet up with our friends…

  • **MB Vacation Recap Part II** {7.6.2022}

    Hey Hey Everybody! Last week I shared Part I of our beach vacation to North Myrtle Beach. If you missed it, check it out here!  Today, I’m sharing the last few days of our trip.  Here I am early Thursday morning for a walk/jog on the beach.  After getting back and getting ready we headed to breakfast. You know, go jog then have some pancakes. It’s called balance, my friends. Ha!  After breakfast, we headed to a beach shop. Addison wanted all kinds of photos.  We decided, since it was so late, to skip the beach and just hang out at the pool. Addison participated in some games and earned…

    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,…
