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:

Look out World...Here he comes!

    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!

Jackson Nicholas is TWO!

Jackson Nicholas is officially TWO years old today!  He's been so fun lately, and definitely showing off his two-ness. 😉 He's got a LOT to say.  He loves his big brother and wants to do anything and everything that he does.  He loves his family and talks about them all day long. He loves Mickey Mouse and can't wait for his next trip to the castle.  He loves to play outside! We'll be living in the backyard this summer.  He loves to EAT! This has been his biggest area of growth from this time last year. At his first birthday party, he was just able to eat single-ingredient foods due to his allergies - we just didn't know what was safe for him. Yesterday he was able to have a cupcake..with frosting!  Such a win!  We love him and his silly little personality. We can't wait to celebrate him today!

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...
