Friday Favorites 9-1-2023

 




Happy Friday! Today I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika to share some Friday Favorites from the week. 


ENOUGH SAID. The "ber" months have arrived, and they are some of my favorite months of the year! Bring on the sweaters, pumpkins and twinkle lights.



We put up the fall decorations this week and it's brought me plenty of joy! My house also smells like a pumpkin patch thanks to my hand soaps, candles and scent ports. Pumpkin spice is such a cozy scent - I don't think anything else compares. 


The boys got fresh haircuts this week and a clean-cut boy is my absolute favorite. He's all set for preschool starting next week! 



My FAVORITE baby boy turns three months old today! It's so hard to believe, and it's crazy how I can't imagine life without him. Also I absolutely cannot with the scrunchy nose smile. I love it! 


Nothing tastes quite as delicious as that first Starbucks pumpkin drink of the year. I enjoy the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew this time of year when it's still hot outside, but I'll switch to a hot coffee with a pump of pumpkin and a splash of half and half when it gets cooler. 

I used apple butter in two different ways this week: Apple Butter Oatmeal cookies and Apple Butter Ham sliders. Both were delish! Recipes for both are coming soon...😉

Cooler mornings mean a return of walks and scooter rides with my boys. We've had this stroller since 2019 and it chuckles to make me think of the amount of miles we've put on it. Between several vacations and daily walks for about 4 summers, it has to be several hundred, 

I'm off for a much needed pedicure and dinner with a friend. Have the best Friday! XX

Friday Favorites [9-6-2024]

  I'm always happy to see Friday, but especially when the weather calls for... this gloriousness this weekend, I.Can't.Wait.!  I'm linking up with Andrea  and Erika  to share some favorites from our busy, short week!  These brothers get so excited to see each other everyday after school, it melts me! They were together at childcare last year, so it makes me think that they have to be missing each other this year.  Brother time is always a favorite of mine. 😊 The chicken street taco kit from Costco is a favorite as well! This time of year it's important to get dinner on the table quickly and I love that this kit involves minimal clean-up.  This little boy is determined to start walking. He's getting braver and braver by the day!  There's a new flag football player in town. 😉 Sammy started flag football this week and I can't wait to watch him in action this fall! This is his "tough face." Haha.  Sammy's lunches have been a favorite for sure....

Friday Favorites [10-4-2024]

Happy, HAPPY Friday!  I hate to even say it outloud, but Jack slept through the night two nights in a row this week. He's been getting so many teeth - all at the same time for about three weeks. This led to lots of broken nights of sleep for our boy. It is AMAZING how much better I feel getting a full night of sleep. Haha.  Needless to say, I'm feeling extra perky this Friday.  I'm linking up with Andrea  and  Erika  to share a few favorites from my week. 😊 Sammy's flag football team is the Chiefs, and so obviously his favorite dog supporter needed to get a matching outfit. Look at Sammy's red cheeks! We're ready for fall weather to arrive in full force over here. Haha.  This week was National Night Out in our town, and Dustin helped work it. I stopped by with the boys, and Jack was genuinely surprised to see so many people who looked like his daddy. He got so excited when he saw the first police car, but was disappointed his daddy wasn't inside. 😉 D...

Friday Favorites [9-13-2024]

  HOORAY for Friday. 😊 I couldn't be more excited for the weekend ahead! I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  to share some of my favorite "happies" from the week.  We had THE BEST weekend last weekend! Saturday morning we were up and out the door early for a trip to Trader Joe's where we filled out cart with all the pumpkin-goodness we could find.  We were home by 11 and decided it was time to put some more fall decor outside... ...to the delight of the boys. 😉 We have an inflatable dachshund (of course we do) that says "Happy Fall-oween!" It's a favorite of the boys for sure.  A trip to Trader Joe's means that my family is having yummy (easy!) dinners during the week. I made a ridiculously easy  Potsticker Stir Fry  for an easy dinner this week while Dustin worked late. We also made some yummy flat breads using their Carne Asada, chimichurri sauce and arugula. This one was our FAVORITE!  Jack's favorite thing to do these day...
