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!

The Brisel family is OFF!

I'm so excited to share that our family is celebrating the holiday season at our very favorite place...Disney World! This trip has been a long time coming. We have been saving and planning for over a year, and yesterday we [yes we...Santa doesn't get credit for this one 😉] surprised our boys with a trip to Disney World for their Christmas gift. Disney is truly Dustin and my happy place, so we couldn't be more excited to bring the boys!  While we're gone I plan to blog about our trip, so I'm hoping to share an update tomorrow evening. For some who may not know, I am working my way through the certification process of becoming a Smart Moms Travel Agent, which is a travel company that specializes in trips to Disney World. I'm hopeful that it might turn into a fun hobby that lets me share a little bit of my Disney knowledge with other families. 😊 I thought blogging our trip would be a fun resource to share with future clients! For a little recap of today... We wer...

Disney World: Day 5 Recap

Rest days are a necessity for any Disney vacation, no matter the length of your trip. 😉 We have been pushing it and hoofing it all over Disney World, so we were overdue! Our plans today included a character breakfast with Minnie and her friends, spending time at the pool, and a character dinner at 1900 Park Fare.  Both boys slept in until 7:00 which was amazing! We got dressed and ready and began our way towards Cape May Cafe located at The Beach Club Resort. We took the Skyliner from our resort to the International Gateway at Epcot. From there, we had about a 5 minute walk to our restaurant. Super easy!  This character meal is one of the lesser known options for character dining. We've done character dining at Topolino's Terrace (amazing!), Tusker House and Chef Mickey's, so we were excited to try something different. Minnie, Daisy, Donald and Goofy are all dressed in their beach attire, and make their way around the restaurant several times. You're also able to do a ...

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!
