Friday Favorites [5-17-2024]

 


Yay for Friday! I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika to share some favorites from this week. Here we go!

It's been a busy week in May. I'm not sure where school gets out where you are from, but in Iowa we have about 2 weeks left. These next 2 weeks will be filled with field trips and all the end of school year "stuff" so I am looking forward to a restful weekend! 

Last weekend I made the yummiest sourdough bread. I mixed in blueberries and made a "paste" with butter, cinnamon and granulated sugar. Oh my word, a slice of this bread alongside some eggs has been my favorite part of waking up this week. 

Look who learned a new trick! On Thursday I placed Jack in his crib and went to make my bed. When I came back he was standing up, looking quite proud of himself. 😉

Sammy has preschool graduation next week, and my heart can't take it! This picture came home last week and I've been emotional all week thinking about the end of preschool. I'm not ready for it! 

Dustin took this picture while grilling one night. Jack is saying, "hey dad, let me out too!"

Have you tried these yet? They are my new favorite Tru Fru flavor. If you've been to Disney World, these taste exactly like a Dole Whip. Yes, please. 😊


Our garden is officially planted, and Sammy couldn't be more proud if he tried. Haha. So far we've got radish and lettuce sprouting!


Scrunchy-nosed baby smiles are another favorite of mine. We were rocking on the porch and he was so happy to be outside enjoying the fresh air! 

That's all for this week. I'll be back on Monday! XX

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...

Friday Favorites [7-3-2026]

  It's Friday, and it's the 4th of July Eve! Sounds pretty good to me. 😉 I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  to share some favorites from the week.  I'm dipping my toe back into blog world because, well, I am missing documenting my kids' childhoods. It brings me such joy to go back and read through memories from years before documented in old posts, so I'm determined to hang out here a bit more consistently to share life.  This summer, I've got a seven (7?!) year old and a new 3 year old. Someone the other day was talking about what a difference a year makes from summer to summer and it is so true. For example, this year Jack and Sammy love to go play together. Last year, both boys required constant supervision. Last year Jack hated going to the pool, and this year he is a little fish! This is a BIG favorite for me! Last weekend Sammy participated in a "Run Hit Pitch" competition and won first place for hitting in his age division. He was so ...

Friday Favorites [10-4-2024]

Happy, HAPPY Friday!  I hate to even say it outloud, but Jack slept through the night two nights in a row this week. He's been getting so many teeth - all at the same time for about three weeks. This led to lots of broken nights of sleep for our boy. It is AMAZING how much better I feel getting a full night of sleep. Haha.  Needless to say, I'm feeling extra perky this Friday.  I'm linking up with Andrea  and  Erika  to share a few favorites from my week. 😊 Sammy's flag football team is the Chiefs, and so obviously his favorite dog supporter needed to get a matching outfit. Look at Sammy's red cheeks! We're ready for fall weather to arrive in full force over here. Haha.  This week was National Night Out in our town, and Dustin helped work it. I stopped by with the boys, and Jack was genuinely surprised to see so many people who looked like his daddy. He got so excited when he saw the first police car, but was disappointed his daddy wasn't inside. 😉 D...
