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 [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 ...
