Friday Favorites 1-26-2024

 


Hello, Friday...it's very nice to see you. This was our first "full" week of school since before Christmas break. We've had cancellations from weather and our schedule has not been consistent. Needless to say, this teacher is TIRED and ready for the weekend. 😉

As usual, I'm linking up with Erika and Andrea to share some Friday Favorites from this week. 

I've seen this Overnight Lip Butter on several Instagram accounts that I follow, and was influenced to purchase it. My lips get so dry overnight and I typically use the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask. This lip mask has a berry scent/flavor, and slides on really smoothly. I want to give it a week before I report back officially, but so far it is looking like a new favorite. 




Thursday morning after I was done exercising I got the call that we had a 2 hour delay due to fog. Two hour delays are God's gifts to teachers. 😉 I was able to enjoy a slow breakfast and quiet time, and some extra play time with my boys. It was the BEST way to start my day. 

Sammy is in a little basketball "camp" right now, and absolutely loving it. Dustin takes him each Wednesday night for about 45 minutes. Sammy comes home sweaty and EXHAUSTED! It is so fun to see your kids pursue their interests as they get older. 

While Dustin takes Sammy to basketball camp, I'm able to enjoy a little 1:1 time with Jack. He becomes a lot more verbal when brother isn't there to "talk" for him. 😅 I love all of his babbles! 

My little sister was in town this week and helped us out with transporting Sammy to/from preschool. I LOVE HAVING HER IN TOWN! I also love the way she did a Starbucks run before she came to my house. Haha. I'm a *big fan* of the Hazelnut Oatmilk Shaken Espresso!

Another favorite this week was coming home to my Nacho Potato Soup cooking away in the slow cooker. I love walking in after a busy day to the smell of dinner. ALWAYS a favorite! 

That's it for today! I am so excited for a quiet weekend at home with my people. See you back here on Monday!

Catch up on this week's blog posts:

    No wonder you are tired, it's nice having short weeks but the full weeks have to come sometime.
    What adorable photos of your little one's and how lovely that your sister has been in town to help out.
    That soup sounds so good, I love coming home to something cooking in the slow cooker.

    Slow cooker dinners are the very best, especially in winter months! Thanks for reading!

Friday Favorites [7-3-2026]

  It's Friday, and it's the 4th of July Eve! Sounds pretty good to me. 😉 I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  to share some favorites from the week.  I'm dipping my toe back into blog world because, well, I am missing documenting my kids' childhoods. It brings me such joy to go back and read through memories from years before documented in old posts, so I'm determined to hang out here a bit more consistently to share life.  This summer, I've got a seven (7?!) year old and a new 3 year old. Someone the other day was talking about what a difference a year makes from summer to summer and it is so true. For example, this year Jack and Sammy love to go play together. Last year, both boys required constant supervision. Last year Jack hated going to the pool, and this year he is a little fish! This is a BIG favorite for me! Last weekend Sammy participated in a "Run Hit Pitch" competition and won first place for hitting in his age division. He was so ...

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...
