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

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...

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...
