What's Up Wednesday [May 2024]

It's the last Wednesday and May, and at 1:45 on Friday I'll be a teacher that's done with school for the summer. Those two things make me a very happy girl. I'm linking up with Shay and Sheaffer to share a little bit about what's up in my life right now! 

What we're eating this week...

Here's what is on our menu this week:

Monday - we grilled brats and had pasta salad on the side

Tuesday - tball night! We had leftovers

Wednesday - my aunt is moving to Iowa, and closes on her house tonight. I'm anticipating we'll all grab something out together. 

Thursday - Crockpot BBQ Chicken will be cooking away! 

Friday - I think pizza will be just the perfect way to celebrate the end of the school year 😉

What I'm reminiscing about...


Baby Jack turns one on Saturday! Over the weekend I looked all of the sweet pictures on my phone from last summer. 


This picture of the boys meeting each other for the first time is one of my very favorites. Look at that joy on Sammy's face! 

Last summer was just the sweetest few months of living in a newborn bubble. I wish I could back and live it all over again.

What I'm loving...

I am leaning into the "dirty water" and "dirty soda" trend that is flooding my social media pages. I ordered some of these flavored syrups and love experimenting with drinks! I like to mix a little sugar free coconut syrup with a Diet Dr. Pepper and a squeeze of lime. In college, my favorite drink was a Malibu and Diet, and this brings me right back. Haha. 

What we've been up to...

Tball started and Sammy had his first game last night! Look HOW CUTE. I'm looking forward to lots of fun at the ball field this summer!


May also brought the end of preschool for our Sammy John. He had a precious preschool graduation, and is looking way too grown up these days. 

We've been busy chasing around baby Jack. I looked away for one minute and he managed to climb on top of his activity table. Haha. 

What I'm dreading...

At this point, nothing! With summer break approaching it's nothing but clear skies for me. 

What I'm excited about...

I'm excited for fun at the pool, late bedtimes, and time outdoors! 

What I'm watching...

At this moment, I've got Mickey Mouse Clubhouse playing while Sammy is sitting next to me. 

Did anyone watch Bridgerton?! I am totally into this show, so much so that I read the entire Bridgerton series awhile back. I was excited for this season, and I hate that they're making us wait a few more weeks for the rest!

What I'm reading...

I just downloaded "Beach Read" by Emily Henry to my Kindle. The cover alone screams. "read me in the summer!" I'm excited to dig into this one. 

What I'm wearing...

It will be the summer of the tennis skirt! I love how versatile this clothing item is. I ordered this one off of Amazon a few years ago, but I couldn't wear it last summer with my new postpartum body. I was excited to pull it out of storage to wear again! Even though it's Amazon, it's nice quality. Perfect for wearing outside and being active. 

What I'm doing this weekend...

Celebrating Jack! He turns 1 on Saturday, and we'll celebrate him next weekend with a strawberry themed birthday party. I can't wait! 

What I'm looking forward to next month...

Yes, please. 😉

Thanks for reading this month! I'll be back here tomorrow. XX

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...
