Friday Favorites [6-21-2024]

 


It's crazy that another week of summer has come to a close! Fridays come around awfully quick these days. I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika to share some favorites from the week. Here we go!


These boys will always be my favorites, especially when they're in matching pajamas and fresh from the tub. 😉


Early morning snuggles are my favorite, too. I love how you can see Jack's little grin behind his pacifier. Haha. 


I know I'm not the only teacher that is in the midst of cleaning and organizing and purging all the things. This week I tackled our kitchen cabinets and laundry closet. Have you tried this cleaner? It's a super concentrated powder that you dump into the washer by itself, and then run a "self clean" cycle. We have a top loader, but I was still amazed at how much fresher the washing machine seemed after using this! 


Here's my latest lunch fixation of the week. It's cucumber, cauliflower, tomato, yellow pepper, turkey, parmesan cheese and a drizzle of avocado oil and white balsamic vinegar. SO GOOD and fresh! 


Sammy LOVED these corn dog muffins that we had for lunch this week. Quick, easy, and fun! 


Lunchtime giggles are always a favorite around here. While it's a lot of work to feed these boys all day, I love the time we are spending together during meals! 


Part of our summer routine has been doing "school" with Sammy during the day. We aren't doing anything too crazy, just enough to keep his brain fresh during these summer months. He surprises me by reminding me to get "school ready" for him everyday. Haha. 


One last favorite for the week is T-Ball! The boys have just one game left in the season next week. Sammy's favorite part of the season has been: "sitting in the dugout with his friends." 😂

I hope everyone has the best weekend! We have a bit of a busy one over here. Today we're celebrating my mom's birthday, tomorrow we have a wedding, and on Sunday we have a neighborhood dinner. See you back here Monday! XX

Catch up on this week's blog posts:

    My son Zeke played t-ball for the first time this summer, and he loved it! It was such a good experience for him. Feeding kids all day is a J O B! Plus the cooking and cleaning up afterwards…

      Yes! I feel like it's time to get ready for another meal as soon as I get the other one cleaned up. Haha!

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....

Friday Favorites [8-9-2024]

  It's Friday! I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  to share some favorites from my week.  I don't even know HOW it happened, but this is my last official week of summer. Can you hear me crying from wherever you are? 😅 June passed slowly, but July and August flew. I know that I will blink and the upcoming week will be over.  We've just been over here trying to soak in all  that's left of summer. 😉 On August 6th, Dustin and I celebrated 8 years of marriage! We celebrated with our first date night in an entire calendar year.  With Jack's allergies and Dustin's crazy work schedule, we find it so hard to get out just the two of us. It's a goal of ours to make it a priority this year!  Sammy's Kindergarten backpack, lunchbox and thermos came and he couldn't have been more excited. We loaded up all of his supplies and he is ready. Me on the other hand? I need someone to come over here and hold me. Haha.  Smiley boys at the park are ...
