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!

  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 [8-9-2024]

  It's Friday! I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  to share some favorites from my week.  I don't even know HOW it happened, but this is my last official week of summer. Can you hear me crying from wherever you are? 😅 June passed slowly, but July and August flew. I know that I will blink and the upcoming week will be over.  We've just been over here trying to soak in all  that's left of summer. 😉 On August 6th, Dustin and I celebrated 8 years of marriage! We celebrated with our first date night in an entire calendar year.  With Jack's allergies and Dustin's crazy work schedule, we find it so hard to get out just the two of us. It's a goal of ours to make it a priority this year!  Sammy's Kindergarten backpack, lunchbox and thermos came and he couldn't have been more excited. We loaded up all of his supplies and he is ready. Me on the other hand? I need someone to come over here and hold me. Haha.  Smiley boys at the park are ...

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...
