Friday Favorites [3-8-2024]

 


Guys...we made it. This has been a LONG WEEK! Dustin left early morning on Monday and has been gone the entire week at a training. That in of itself is challenging, but throw parent-teacher conference week on top of it? It's been a long one, and I couldn't be happier for Spring Break to finally get here. 😊

As usual I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika to share some favorites from my week. 

My first favorite...


...is this. Ahhh. Spring Break feels pretty nice for this tired first grade teacher. We don't have much of anything planned, but the weather looks to be nice, and I'm excited to spend time with my people. 

And since it's Spring Break that has to mean that Summer won't be too far behind. The fourth quarter of school is always a flurry of activity, and it seems to go by in a FLASH! 

I can't believe that this will be Sammy's last summer before he goes to kindergarten in the fall. When did he get big enough to be a school aged student? Time is a thief. I took this photo after he tried on a new outfit [pardon the messy room], and I thought "oh, this could be his first day of school outfit!" 

Our sweet PTA has taken really good care of us teachers this week. They bring in dinner for us on Tuesday and Thursday, and it's typically pretty yummy. On Thursday they had a food truck for us. It's always a treat to not have to worry about dinner for myself on these nights. 

A little smiley-faced baby is ALWAYS a favorite of mine. 😊 His top teeth have FINALLY come in which is such a relief...for both of us! 

It's a short and sweet post today, friends. I'll still be back blogging next week, so be sure to pop in! Have a GREAT weekend!

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 ...

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!
