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.

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...

What's Up Wednesday [September 2024]

And just like that...it's the last week of the month! Time for What's Up Wednesday with  Sheaffer  and  Shay .  What We're Eating this Week... Fall weather is officially upon us, so I'm craving warm, comforting meals. This week's menu is... Sunday - Meatloaf and green beans Monday - Chicken Pot Pie with a green salad Tuesday - "Smash Burger" tacos  Wednesday - BBQ Chicken bowls Thursday - Spaghetti  Friday - we're grilling up the Trader Joe's Unexpected Cheddar Chicken sausages...so good!  My boys have been eating a lot of pumpkin muffins this week. I had to make a second batch this evening because Sammy ate 5 (5!) in one day.  We're basically eating pumpkin in whatever we can these days, which is why I made these pumpkin sourdough discard bagels. A warm bagel + pumpkin cream cheese from Trader Joe's = a little slice of heaven. 😊 What I'm reminiscing about... As always...this time last year. Look how small and squishy Baby Jack was!  T...
