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

    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!

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...
