Friday Favorites 1-19-2024

Hello Friday, it's nice to see you. 😊 I'm getting ready to head into the weekend and sharing some Friday Favorites alongside Andrea and Erika. Here we go!

My week started off with 2 "cold" days here in Iowa (following a week with 3 snow days), so naturally my days are completely mixed up. By the time I got to school on Wednesday, I thought it was Thursday. My students thought it was Monday, and everyone was totally confused. Check out that "feels like" temperature. BRR!

Even though I was stuck inside with my boys for about 5 consecutive days with the weather, we had SO MUCH FUN. We got into a good little routine and it almost felt like another winter break. Some highlights are...

All the couch cushion forts, please.

Several lunches were consumed in the couch cushion forts. It's such an easy "yes" that gets such a big smile in return.

Jack learned how to army crawl and is getting quite good at getting himself around to where he wants to be.

We made homemade playdough one of the days, and it was a huge hit.

We practiced writing our names. Sammy has come a long ways already this school year!

I LIVE for days that I don't have to pack a lunch. This little plate of yumminess was on repeat over the week. These are the mini tacos and Chicken Cilantro wontons - both from Trader Joe's!

We had so much time to play in our basement together. Our basement is where we store a majority of toys, and where we keep the jumper. Jack LOVES it!

Roo had the right idea in keeping warm during our snowy, cold days at home. 😉

I absolutely love this outfit of Jack's. I purchased it from Baby Gap and it is so cozy!

One last favorite for the week is Jack trying broccoli for the first time. Look at that expression! Despite his first impression, he ended up really enjoying it.

Have the best weekend...see you back here on Monday! XX

Friday Favorites [3-1-2024]

It's Friday and I'm here sharing my favorites from the week. As usual, I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika . Here we go! My very first favorite is that Jack is 9 months old today! I can't believe he's been "out" for as long as I was pregnant with him. 😊 He is the happiest little baby, and we just can't imagine life without him. I shared a little monthly update on the blog today as well. Another favorite is that Sammy lost his second tooth over the weekend. He pulled it out himself! I told him that pretty soon he won't have any teeth left. 😉 An easy sheet meal dinner was perfect for our Wednesday night. I took some italian chicken sausage, sweet potato gnocchi, and green beans, plus a little olive oil and seasonings and roasted it up for about 20 minutes. Sammy loves chicken sausages, so a fuss-free dinner is always a win in my book. We put out some St. Patrick's Day books over the weekend and have been enjoying reading them. I keep a...

Friday Favorites [4-5-2024]

Hello, Friday. It's always nice to see you. 😉 I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika to share some favorites from my week. Here we go! My first favorites are these sweet Easter pictures. We had a fun weekend celebrating! I love any reason for my little boys to get dressed up and get a cute picture. 😉 Another favorite on April 1st was celebrating Jack's 10 month birthday! I can't believe in two months he will be one. I loved this picture showing off his top two teeth. 3 years ago, my family was at one of our favorite places...Disney World! We went to Florida over Easter in 2021 with my extended family and it was a fun little trip. This trip was rescheduled from March of 2020, and I love seeing all of the memories from our trip. Sammy looks SO LITTLE. In this picture we were riding Dumbo. I remember that Sammy got off the ride and promptly asked to go again. Haha. We made my Easy Weeknight Tostadas on Tuesday of this week ...

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...
