Things I'm ready for...

Does anybody feel like the month of January is 19458 days long? I saw this the other day and it made me cackle:

So true, right?

I love January, but I am looking forward to lots in the months ahead. In no particular order, here's what I'm excited for:

1. Fresh Foods

I am SO looking forward to the ease of cooking in the spring and summer months. I feel like dinner prep is so much easier when it's warmer AND requires less ingredients. Many nights dinner is as simple as grilling up a protein with a salad or vegetable on the side. I love the cozy meals during Fall and Winter, but I do look forward to the fresh and lighter meals that Spring and Summer bring.

2. More sunshine

June, 2022

I am READY for there to be sunshine after the hour of 5PM and in the mornings. This photo was taken at 7AM in June 0f 2022. Ugh. Pajamas and donuts on our patio in the morning?! I'm ready for that again!

3. Being outside

July, 2022

July, 2023

I didn't realize until it got chilly how often we took walks outside in the afternoons or mornings. It is going to be so nice to get back in the routine of regular walks, and just spending more time outside. I'm tired of being cooped up!

4. Cold and Flu season to be over

It seems like I have been wiping SOMEBODY's nose since October. Our family vitamin lineup is intense. 😅 I think between the four of us, there are 8 bottles of vitamins and supplements that we take daily. I'm ready for cold and flu season to be over, and health to follow.

5. My garden

August, 2022

I didn't have much of a garden last year since Jack was born on June 1st. We only planted sugar snap peas (Sammy's favorite!) and cucumbers. I'm so excited to have a bigger garden and to plant tomatoes this year. Tomatoes fresh from the garden are one of the best treats of summer.

Spring will be here soon enough...right?! 😉

Friday Favorites [3-1-2024]

It's Friday and I'm here sharing my favorites from the week. As usual, I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika . Here we go! My very first favorite is that Jack is 9 months old today! I can't believe he's been "out" for as long as I was pregnant with him. 😊 He is the happiest little baby, and we just can't imagine life without him. I shared a little monthly update on the blog today as well. Another favorite is that Sammy lost his second tooth over the weekend. He pulled it out himself! I told him that pretty soon he won't have any teeth left. 😉 An easy sheet meal dinner was perfect for our Wednesday night. I took some italian chicken sausage, sweet potato gnocchi, and green beans, plus a little olive oil and seasonings and roasted it up for about 20 minutes. Sammy loves chicken sausages, so a fuss-free dinner is always a win in my book. We put out some St. Patrick's Day books over the weekend and have been enjoying reading them. I keep a

Friday Favorites [4-5-2024]

Hello, Friday. It's always nice to see you. 😉 I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika to share some favorites from my week. Here we go! My first favorites are these sweet Easter pictures. We had a fun weekend celebrating! I love any reason for my little boys to get dressed up and get a cute picture. 😉 Another favorite on April 1st was celebrating Jack's 10 month birthday! I can't believe in two months he will be one. I loved this picture showing off his top two teeth. 3 years ago, my family was at one of our favorite places...Disney World! We went to Florida over Easter in 2021 with my extended family and it was a fun little trip. This trip was rescheduled from March of 2020, and I love seeing all of the memories from our trip. Sammy looks SO LITTLE. In this picture we were riding Dumbo. I remember that Sammy got off the ride and promptly asked to go again. Haha. We made my Easy Weeknight Tostadas on Tuesday of this week and they were a hit! We loved this eas

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, where most of
