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!

Jackson Nicholas is TWO!

Jackson Nicholas is officially TWO years old today!  He's been so fun lately, and definitely showing off his two-ness. 😉 He's got a LOT to say.  He loves his big brother and wants to do anything and everything that he does.  He loves his family and talks about them all day long. He loves Mickey Mouse and can't wait for his next trip to the castle.  He loves to play outside! We'll be living in the backyard this summer.  He loves to EAT! This has been his biggest area of growth from this time last year. At his first birthday party, he was just able to eat single-ingredient foods due to his allergies - we just didn't know what was safe for him. Yesterday he was able to have a cupcake..with frosting!  Such a win!  We love him and his silly little personality. We can't wait to celebrate him today!

Sammy is SEVEN!

  Sammy is SEVEN! Seven years ago we were at the hospital, excited and nervous to meet our Samuel John.  Sammy was always a happy baby and toddler, and that's continued into childhood. He is so affable, friendly, and confident! He loves his family, he loves to play and he loves to be active. Games are his favorite, and he loves to "snuggle."  Since returning back to school, he's developed a huge love of reading! As a first grade teacher this WARMS my heart. He loves most books, but right now he favors graphic novels. He is the best big brother. Without us asking, he is so willing to help his brother. Just yesterday, Jack sneezed and Sammy ran to get him a wipe and then proceeded to wipe Jack's nose for him. If someone gets hurt he often hurries to see what's wrong and if he can help. He's a lot like Dustin in that he loves to have fun and be social. He's a lot like me in that he loves to make lists and know the when/how things are happening. He loves a...

What's Up Wednesday [September 2024]

And just like that...it's the last week of the month! Time for What's Up Wednesday with  Sheaffer  and  Shay .  What We're Eating this Week... Fall weather is officially upon us, so I'm craving warm, comforting meals. This week's menu is... Sunday - Meatloaf and green beans Monday - Chicken Pot Pie with a green salad Tuesday - "Smash Burger" tacos  Wednesday - BBQ Chicken bowls Thursday - Spaghetti  Friday - we're grilling up the Trader Joe's Unexpected Cheddar Chicken sausages...so good!  My boys have been eating a lot of pumpkin muffins this week. I had to make a second batch this evening because Sammy ate 5 (5!) in one day.  We're basically eating pumpkin in whatever we can these days, which is why I made these pumpkin sourdough discard bagels. A warm bagel + pumpkin cream cheese from Trader Joe's = a little slice of heaven. 😊 What I'm reminiscing about... As always...this time last year. Look how small and squishy Baby Jack was!  T...
