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 [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...

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 ...
