Friday Favorites 1-12-2024

 


It's Friday! My days are all jumbled this week due to an abundance (3!) of snow days. We've had so much snow this week!

I'm linking up with Erika and Andrea to share some Friday Favorites. 

First up...

I've thoroughly enjoyed my days at home with the boys this week. Dustin's off days happened to be Tuesday-Friday, so we were home together for 3 days. We loved all of the family time! 



Sammy got a few chances to play in the snow. 



And Jack got plenty of chances for lots of snuggles. 

Cozy time at home with my favorite people is ALWAYS a favorite thing of mine. 

Cold, winter days mean that soup must be on the menu. This week we enjoyed my Crockpot Hamburger soup along with a side of beer bread and veggies. 

I also got a chance to read this book this week! I follow Taylor on social media, and think she's hilarious. Her writing has really great voice...I could practically hear her saying what she was writing. This was the third book I've read so far this year. 

Does anyone else struggle with eczema this time of year? Both of my boys struggle with dry, scratchy skin this time of year. I've tried several lotions on the hunt for a cure, and we've had awesome luck with this one. It's nice and thick, but absorbs really well. It's a good find! 


Baby Jack has had a rough start with solid foods, but this week we've experienced some success. We've discovered that he hates pureed food, so baby food has been a no-go. I made all of Sammy's baby food, so I was a little disappointed to not be blending up fun mixes of purees for him to eat. Instead, he uses this spoon to feed himself. I use the spoon to scrape up some form of solid food - so far we've done avocado and banana - and he feeds himself. It's been going well so far...look at that proud face! 

Lastly...I got this snack mix from Trader Joe's on my last visit. It's got some spice, but it's not SO spicy that I can't handle the heat. A little bit of this + a Limoncello LaCroix is my favorite after school snack. 

That's all for today! I'm off to enjoy my snow days with the boys. Have a wonderful weekend! 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...

Friday Favorites [9-13-2024]

  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...
