Friday Favorites 9-29-2023

 



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


It's Homecoming week in my town, so we've had a super fun week at my school! Our town does a Homecoming parade each year on Thursday before the game. I walked in the parade with my school staff while wearing Jack in the baby wrap, while Dustin and Sammy watched. Sammy wore Dustin's high school jersey for the festivities. 


I wish I could tell that high school girl that 15 years later their son would be wearing that jersey for Homecoming. 😉


This pictures melts my heart. He has such admiration for the "Newton Cardinal Football players." 


It's soccer season! The "Hurricanes" [AKA Sammy's team] play a game each Saturday. I love watching him play! Dustin is coaching them and equates it to "herding cats." haha!


Sammy requested spaghetti this week for dinner and was thrilled when it was finally spaghetti night. He promptly ate a plate of it, then requested another. #growingboy 


Easy crockpot meals are absolutely a favorite! Have you seen my recipe for Crockpot Italian Beef? It's a super easy recipe that makes a really delicious sandwich. 


This was Dustin's last week of vacation. It's been so nice having him home the last 3 weeks! I love all the fun pictures of Jack I get from him throughout the day. 


Bath time is always a favorite of mine. Look at that clean and fresh baby!


Last weekend Dustin painted our front door to match our new siding, and we added a few touches for fall. I'm super pleased with how it turned out. 

It's a short and sweet post today. I am looking forward to a relaxing weekend! Dustin is taking Sammy to an air show, and I plan to have a quiet night at home with Jackson. Check back in on Sunday for  Jack's four month update! Have a wonderful weekend. XX

    It sounds like a really fun week at your school.
    The Crockpot Italian Beef sounds so good, perfect for this time of year.

      The crockpot beef is delicious! It makes a lot, so I always appreciate the leftovers the next day. :)

Friday Favorites [3-1-2024]

  It's Friday and I'm here sharing my favorites from the week. As usual, I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika . Here we go!  My very first favorite is that Jack is 9 months old today! I can't believe he's been "out" for as long as I was pregnant with him. 😊 He is the happiest little baby, and we just can't imagine life without him. I shared a little monthly update on the blog today as well.  Another favorite is that Sammy lost his second tooth over the weekend. He pulled it out himself! I told him that pretty soon he won't have any teeth left. 😉 An easy sheet meal dinner was perfect for our Wednesday night. I took some italian chicken sausage, sweet potato gnocchi, and green beans, plus a little olive oil and seasonings and roasted it up for about 20 minutes. Sammy loves chicken sausages, so a fuss-free dinner is always a win in my book.  We put out some St. Patrick's Day books over the weekend and have been enjoying reading them. I keep a...

Friday Favorites [4-5-2024]

  Hello, Friday. It's always nice to see you. 😉 I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  to share some favorites from my week. Here we go!  My first favorites are these sweet Easter pictures. We had a fun weekend celebrating! I love any reason for my little boys to get dressed up and get a cute picture. 😉 Another favorite on April 1st was celebrating Jack's 10 month birthday! I can't believe in two months he will be one. I loved this picture showing off his top two teeth.  3 years ago, my family was at one of our favorite places...Disney World! We went to Florida over Easter in 2021 with my extended family and it was a fun little trip. This trip was rescheduled from March of 2020, and I love seeing all of the memories from our trip. Sammy looks SO LITTLE.  In this picture we were riding Dumbo. I remember that Sammy got off the ride and promptly asked to go again. Haha.  We made my  Easy Weeknight Tostadas  on Tuesday of this week ...

Friday Favorites [5-3-2024]

  Yay! It's Friday and it's the month of MAY! Both of those things are very good things in my book. Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  to share some favorites from the week.  On Monday I shared that we had a busy weekend! My mom and I hosted a Bridal Shower for my sweet cousin Caitlin, and then our new niece and nephew were baptized on Sunday. It was a fun (but tiring) way to spend the weekend!  Jack especially loved all of the family time, and was happy to sneak in some giggles with Great Grandma before the shower began. 😉 We whipped up these  Burrito Bowls  for dinner one night this week, and it was a new favorite. It was such an easy meal that Dustin and I both loved!  It's May, which means that it's time for me to read "Charlotte's Web" to my class. I read it every year during the month of May! This book has seen much better years - I think it's time for a new copy. Haha.  The boys and I love to play in the basement...
