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!

    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 [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 ...
