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 [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 ...

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 [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...
