Friday Favorites [5-10-2024]

 


It's Friday and I couldn't be anymore excited about the upcoming weekend! I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika to share some of my Friday Favorites from the week. Settle in, I've got lots of them this week! 

This week was Teacher Appreciation week, and we were spoiled by our PTA. There were an abundance of treats and drinks all week long! My favorite little gift came from one of my students. It was this cute basket filled with all of my favorite things...so thoughtful!


It was Grandparents Day at Sammy's preschool on Monday. He was such a lucky little boy to have both sets of grandparents there with him! 

I snapped this picture of my boys before we went to church on Saturday night. We love an opportunity to match, especially when Bluey is involved. 😉


On Sunday my dad filled a raised garden bed for us, and it involved moving around some dirt. Sammy couldn't have been more thrilled. He ran up to the door and made me admire his worm. Look at that smile! You can tell he was mid-laugh. Haha. 

I used my sourdough discard to make THE BEST pizza crust ever. It was so good! We topped it with sweet Italian sausage, green peppers and red onion and it was perfection. 

Tornado sirens going off at 1AM are NOT our favorite. Look at those sleepy faces! We've had a couple of weeks with severe storms (always occuring in the middle of the night!) and I'm ready for a reprieve. 


I am loving that the boys are able to play more and more with each other. Sammy loves to make Jack laugh, and Jack is always pretty close in proximity to his brother. I hope it continues!


Dustin and Sammy went to an iCubs game on Thursday and had a great time together! Sammy got called onto the field to play a game and I think he ate everything being sold in the concession stand. I love the picture of the two of them! 

That's it for today, I hope everyone has a Happy Mother's Day this weekend! See you back here on Monday. XX

    I love that so many school join in with Teacher Appreciation week. How wonderful, teachers are amazing people!
    Oh gosh, the storms sound like such a worry.

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!
