Things I'm excited for...

The change in seasons always fills me with anticipation of the things to come. Here's a few things that I am excited for...

This is one of my very favorite things in the world. I love to turn off all the lights in the house and relax in front of the Christmas tree with a seasonal movie. 


Last year I was pregnant (AKA tired) during Christmas, so I don't feel like I did my Christmas baking justice.  But on the flip side, I was able to enjoy my Christmas cookies with a little less guilt about the calories last year. 😉


It is *almost* time for the heated blanket to be put on the bed. My husband HATES a heated blanket, so we have a twin sized one that is restricted to my side. I absolutely love to preheat the blanket while I get ready for bed and crawl into a cozy bed. 


Awww. Here's my little family at Christmas last year. Baby Jack was about 15 weeks along in my belly! I can't wait to add one more to the picture this year. 


But I guess before Christmas hits, we have to celebrate Halloween. 😉 Sammy plans to be Spiderman this year and I'm excited for a night of Trick-or-Treating with our friends! Baby Jack will be a skunk and I cannot wait to put him in his outfit. Last year Sammy was a pumpkin - and we grew every single one of the pumpkins on our porch! 

That's all for today - see you back here tomorrow!

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...

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 [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 ...
