Friday Favorites 11-3-2023

 

It's Friday and it's November, which means I can officially light my "pine" scented candles this weekend...right?! As usual, I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika to share my favorites from the week. 

Let's back it up to last weekend....

It was a cold, blustery weekend and I was feeling ambitious in the kitchen. I decided to make some homemade noodles. 

Oh my goodness...homemade noodles are so delicious, and not as difficult as one would think. I made them on Saturday, and on Sunday we enjoyed them with my Skillet Beef Stroganoff. I tripled (tripled!) the batch so I could have some in the freezer. Yummy bowls of comfort food is one of my very favorite things. 

Even though I'm seeing twinkle lights and garland in my future, we can't forget about how much fun we had celebrating Halloween! Sammy was a Denver Broncos football player and Jack went as a skunk. 


A moment for the side profile of the costume...😂 He was a HIT! 


We had to stop by their grandparents homes the day before Trick-or-Treating, so I snapped this quick photo. So cute!


The morning after Trick-or-Treating left us all feeling a little exhausted. Can we petition to only allow Trick-or-Treating on Fridays or Saturdays? I came out from the bathroom and found Sammy and Jack snuggled up in our bed. We put our heated blanket on over the weekend and Sammy has mentioned more than once how he thinks he needs on in his room. 😉


Baby Jack also turned five months old this week! I know I'm biased, but look at that sweet smile! When he sees me get closer he smiles and kicks his legs. There is really nothing better. 


I love getting pictures of the boys throughout the day! It's so fun to see what they're up to. 


Have you tried this new flavor of sparkling water from Trader Joe's? It's cranberry clementine flavored, so I'm guessing it's seasonal. I bought one case and I'm wishing I had bought five. SO GOOD! 


We had one of my favorite crockpot meals this week - a Chicken and Corn chowder. Easy crockpot recipes are forever a favorite of mine. There's nothing better than walking in the door after a busy day to dinner already prepared! 

That's it for today, I hope you have the best weekend! XX

      They were absolutely worth all of the extra effort! :)

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 ...

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...
