Brisel Family Summer Bucket List

In an effort to fully lean in and embrace the summer season, we made a "Brisel Family Summer Bucket List" over the weekend. These are all activities that we are hoping to complete over the summer, and hopefully this list will help us be intentional with our time together.

I had to laugh because Sammy absolutely thought that we were going to be doing ALL of these things in one day. After we made the list he said, "OK! Time to get going!" 😂

Here's what we came up with:

1. Go to an iCubs game.

2. Watch a movie outside.

3. Make s'mores.

4. Go to Maytag Pool.

5. Go to the 4th of July Parade.

6. Look for Lightning Bugs.

7. Make homemade ice cream.

8. Make homemade popsicles.

9. Go to the zoo.

10. Go fishing.

I know our time this summer will pass far too quickly. Here's to being intentional!

Friday Favorites [4-5-2024]

Hello, Friday. It's always nice to see you. 😉 I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika to share some favorites from my week. Here we go! My first favorites are these sweet Easter pictures. We had a fun weekend celebrating! I love any reason for my little boys to get dressed up and get a cute picture. 😉 Another favorite on April 1st was celebrating Jack's 10 month birthday! I can't believe in two months he will be one. I loved this picture showing off his top two teeth. 3 years ago, my family was at one of our favorite places...Disney World! We went to Florida over Easter in 2021 with my extended family and it was a fun little trip. This trip was rescheduled from March of 2020, and I love seeing all of the memories from our trip. Sammy looks SO LITTLE. In this picture we were riding Dumbo. I remember that Sammy got off the ride and promptly asked to go again. Haha. We made my Easy Weeknight Tostadas on Tuesday of this week ...

Friday Favorites [5-3-2024]

Yay! It's Friday and it's the month of MAY! Both of those things are very good things in my book. Today I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika to share some favorites from the week. On Monday I shared that we had a busy weekend! My mom and I hosted a Bridal Shower for my sweet cousin Caitlin, and then our new niece and nephew were baptized on Sunday. It was a fun (but tiring) way to spend the weekend! Jack especially loved all of the family time, and was happy to sneak in some giggles with Great Grandma before the shower began. 😉 We whipped up these Burrito Bowls for dinner one night this week, and it was a new favorite. It was such an easy meal that Dustin and I both loved! It's May, which means that it's time for me to read "Charlotte's Web" to my class. I read it every year during the month of May! This book has seen much better years - I think it's time for a new copy. Haha. The boys and I love to play in the basement...

Friday Favorites [9-6-2024]

I'm always happy to see Friday, but especially when the weather calls for... this gloriousness this weekend, I.Can't.Wait.! I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika to share some favorites from our busy, short week! These brothers get so excited to see each other everyday after school, it melts me! They were together at childcare last year, so it makes me think that they have to be missing each other this year. Brother time is always a favorite of mine. 😊 The chicken street taco kit from Costco is a favorite as well! This time of year it's important to get dinner on the table quickly and I love that this kit involves minimal clean-up. This little boy is determined to start walking. He's getting braver and braver by the day! There's a new flag football player in town. 😉 Sammy started flag football this week and I can't wait to watch him in action this fall! This is his "tough face." Haha. Sammy's lunches have been a favorite for sure....
