• **Hello Monday** {10.7.2024}

    Happy Monday!! We had a really busy weekend and was hopeful for some Fall feeling weather. It did not oblige. It was so miserably hot. Hoping for cooler weather soon.  Like the norm, I’m linking up with Holly and Sarah for Hello Monday and sharing a recap of our weekend. Friday night was our school’s Fall festival.  We had so much fun! I had to work the cake walk for the first hour. Mom & Aunt Dot donated about 7 cakes/treats each. Addison was hopeful to win one, but no luck here. Haha!  She loved seeing and playing with her friends.  Saturday morning, Joey went to target shoot with my Dad and his Dad.…

    TGIF Friends…. whoa this 5 day work week felt like about 15 days… It was busy!  Like the norm, I’m linking up with the blogs AlittlebitofEverything and Momfessionals and sharing my favorite things from the week. Addison enjoyed decorating her Halloween haunted house.  I picked up these Chicken Crumbles, from Costco and had them in Lettuce wraps for lunch this week. They were delicious!  On Wednesday, we went to watch our town’s Homecoming parade that was rescheduled from last week. They had the streets decorated with scarecrows and other props. Addison enjoyed them.  We went shopping in some boutiques. This one had a cute bed swing which she had to try out. 🙂 Then…

  • **Disney Fall Vacation 2024 Part I** {10.2.2024}

    Hey Friends!! September 14th we headed to Disney for a girl’s trip. Today I’m sharing part one of our Disney trip recap. 🙂 We got to the resort around 2, threw our things in our room, freshened up a little bit and headed back out because we had dinner reservations.  We headed on the boat from MK to Wilderness Lodge.  Upon arrival, we met a Memory Maker photographer and got him to snap some fun pics.  The resort is gorgeous! We had reservations at Artist Point which is a character meal with Snow White and some other characters.  And then the characters came out.  Then the characters came around for…

    Happy Monday friends!! After 4 days off of school due to Hurricane Helene, we are back to it today. The devastation has been horrible. We are very, very lucky to not have had any damage. I’m praying for so many that were affected.  Like the norm, I’m linking up with Holly and Sarah for Hello Monday and sharing a recap of our weekend. Thursday night, we all snuggled in to watch the new Inside Out 2 movie. It was cute.  Friday, I worked on some school work and typing up meeting notes. I also went ahead and got all the house work and laundry completed. However, now, I am thinking all the things I…

    Hey Friends!! Well this week has been wild. We went back to school Monday through Wednesday. Then, yesterday and today, school was cancelled due to the incoming Hurricane Helene. So crazy!  Like the norm, I’m linking up with the blogs AlittlebitofEverything and Momfessionals and sharing my favorite things from the week. Even though we had 3 days at school, those days were super busy! I had meetings almost all three days with teachers, on top of other managerial type things. Plus trying to navigate life and home. I had a hair appointment. I don’t have too many things to share.  Wednesday, we had storms come through that were not part of the hurricane. It…

    Well Hello, friends!! I’m back after a week off. We had a great Fall break! Like the norm, I’m linking up with Holly and Sarah for Hello Monday and sharing a recap of our weekend. I don’t have a lot to share today for our weekend. We got home about 3 on Friday.  Saturday, started out okay. I was cleaning up a storm and doing lots of laundry. However, as the day went on, I started feeling bad. By Saturday afternoon, I was out- no energy, chilling, running a low grade fever. No fun at all!  Addison and Joey were great nurses to me. She also put this Lego Simba together. It turned…

Always needed and a favorite.  Milo has been cracking us up playing with this ball. I call him our circus dog because he loves to…

On the second Wednesday of every month, I link up with Shay from MixandMatchMama and Erika from ALittleBitofEverything.

Both delicious and easy as well!  Here’s another tried and true meal that works beautifully in the slow cooker. Slow Cooker Jambalaya  I shared this Potato Soup recipe way back in 2021.

We had many laughs and Addison enjoyed extra time with Grampa.    Saturday morning, Joey left early to go kayaking with his Dad and brother, Nathan. I was trying to clean and get some things ready for Disney.…
