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 [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...

The Brisel family is OFF!

I'm so excited to share that our family is celebrating the holiday season at our very favorite place...Disney World! This trip has been a long time coming. We have been saving and planning for over a year, and yesterday we [yes we...Santa doesn't get credit for this one 😉] surprised our boys with a trip to Disney World for their Christmas gift. Disney is truly Dustin and my happy place, so we couldn't be more excited to bring the boys!  While we're gone I plan to blog about our trip, so I'm hoping to share an update tomorrow evening. For some who may not know, I am working my way through the certification process of becoming a Smart Moms Travel Agent, which is a travel company that specializes in trips to Disney World. I'm hopeful that it might turn into a fun hobby that lets me share a little bit of my Disney knowledge with other families. 😊 I thought blogging our trip would be a fun resource to share with future clients! For a little recap of today... We wer...

Disney World: Day 5 Recap

Rest days are a necessity for any Disney vacation, no matter the length of your trip. 😉 We have been pushing it and hoofing it all over Disney World, so we were overdue! Our plans today included a character breakfast with Minnie and her friends, spending time at the pool, and a character dinner at 1900 Park Fare.  Both boys slept in until 7:00 which was amazing! We got dressed and ready and began our way towards Cape May Cafe located at The Beach Club Resort. We took the Skyliner from our resort to the International Gateway at Epcot. From there, we had about a 5 minute walk to our restaurant. Super easy!  This character meal is one of the lesser known options for character dining. We've done character dining at Topolino's Terrace (amazing!), Tusker House and Chef Mickey's, so we were excited to try something different. Minnie, Daisy, Donald and Goofy are all dressed in their beach attire, and make their way around the restaurant several times. You're also able to do a ...
