Friday Favorites [4-25-2024]

 


I'm so glad to see Friday roll around this week. There are 24 more school "wake-ups" until summer and that sounds pretty good to this teacher. 😉

As usual, I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika to share some Friday Favorites. Here we go! 

My first favorite is our very mobile Jack. He's been pulling himself up to stand on all sorts of furniture (or people), and he's also mastered the stairs. Sammy had zero interest in the stairs so this is brand new territory for us. I think baby gates are in our future. Haha. 

We live in a fairly new houseing development, and there are several houses for sale a few streets over. On Wednesday there were open houses, and a taco truck was parked to bring more traffic to the area. We gladly took advantage and took a walk to grab our dinner. 

Roo's little feet got tired, and she ended up riding most of the way home. Hahaha. 

Sourdough continues to be a favorite around here. This past weekend brought us a pesto and mozzarella loaf, and some sourdough discard cookies. 


Spiderman stopped fighting crime for one, and he approved. 😉

It is my firm belief that breakfast casseroles are too delicious to only be eaten on special occasion breakfasts. We had one over the weekend and it was a favorite for sure. 

Swing rides are one of Jack's new favorite things. We put up Sammy's old baby swing and Jack couldn't have been happier! It makes me happy to see a baby swing on our porch again. 😊

I just finished "Darling Girls" by Sally Hepworth, and I am CONFLICTED about how I feel about it. This book tells the story of girls, who turn sisters, who were in the foster care system, and treated terribly. While I'm not sure how to feel about this book, I couldn't put it down. I literally read it in 24 hours. It was an addicting read!

That's all for this week! Have a great weekend, see you back here Monday! XX

    Oh wow! It doesn't seem that long until summer. I think we have a little longer.
    Aww! Jack is just adorable. My girls used to be obsessed with the stairs when they were little.
    How cool that there was a taco truck near you. What a great sounding evening.

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!
