Friday Favorites 10-20-2023

Happy Friday! Today I'm off school as our teacher compensation day following conferences, and we have professional development on Monday. I am PUMPED about a three day weekend and a "short" school week next week. I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika to share some favorites from the week.

Easily my favorite - it was Sammy's birthday on Thursday! We've been counting down the days to his birthday basically since his last birthday. He woke up on Thursday ready to celebrate!

My mom dropped off a birthday donut in the morning complete with a "5" candle.

He was so excited for his present - a Spiderman bike! He's in a bit of a Spiderman phase right now.

He brought birthday treats to preschool and Dustin picked him up. Then they met my great grandma for lunch at a restaurant in town.

Since I was late at work for parent-teacher conferences (boo 😓) the boys brought over dinner and we had cake in my classroom. It was a sweet ending to a fun day! This weekend we will have his family party on Sunday.

Pictures from childcare are my favorite. Look at Baby Jack smiling away!

I went in to give Sammy a kiss goodnight and laughed so hard. He has orange Halloween lights in his room right now and is snuggled under so many blankets. Clifford is tucked under his arm and his Christmas Amazon magazines are within reach. He is prepared for ANYTHING. Haha!

Our last soccer game is tomorrow! It's been such a sweet season watching Sammy play and Dustin coach. I'm going to miss it!

Last Sunday we had chili and cinnamon rolls for dinner. I have to know...is this just an Iowa thing? If you haven't enjoyed a bowl of chili along a cinnamon roll you haven't lived. Trust me. 😉

That's all for this week! It's time to play catch-up from a busy week and get life organized around here. Enjoy your weekend! XX

Sammy is 5!

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...

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...
