Friday Favorites 10-6-2023



Happy Friday! There's a chill in the air in Iowa this week, and I couldn't be more giddy about it. Here's some Friday Favorites to close out our week! I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika. 

Baby Jack started at childcare this week and it has been going SO WELL. We couldn't be more thankful for our provider! She sends us pictures and videos often throughout the day, and Baby Jack looks like he is having a great time. Sammy is so excited about his little brother being there with him.

Have you seen my post sharing some of my favorite memories from this season of life? I wrote down a few things I wanted to remember. You can read all about them here. 

Colder weather = soup for dinner! We had Trader Joe's Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato soup for dinner this week with some grilled cheese sandwiches on the side. A favorite for sure!

On the mornings Sammy has preschool he comes to school with me until Dustin is off from his overnight shift as a police officer. We do a parking lot trade-off and Dustin grabs him to take him to preschool. Sammy loves these mornings because they usually involve a stop at the gas station for a donut. 😉 I love spending a little 1:1 time with my biggest boy!

I made the best apple crisp over the weekend. I doubled the crisp (because that's my favorite part) and added in some caramel bits. It was heavenly! Find my recipe here. 

First grade students are my FAVORITE! I had a sweet little friend make me a friendship bracelet in preparation of her going to see the Taylor Swift concert movie this weekend. So precious!


Sammy wrapped up his football camp on Monday evening and received a certificate for his participation. Dustin sent me this picture and my response was: "Is that sweat on his hair?" The answer was "yes." He went straight to the tub once he arrived home. Haha! He really loved "playing" football this fall, and will miss this fun little camp he participated in. 

Awww. Matching pajamas and freshly bathed babies are my absolute favorite thing in the world! I just love how sweet they are here. I'm certain I'll need to show them this photo when they are bickering in the future. 😉

That's all for the week! My Aunt Becky is in town visiting this week, so I'm looking forward to some extra family time. Have a great weekend! See you back here on Monday. 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...

  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...
