August Goals

Hello, August. 

I don't know about you, but the start of August almost feels more like starting a new year over January 1st. Anyone relate?

I'm feeling super motivated to become my most organized self prior to starting back to school in a few weeks, and so I'm sharing a few things I'm holding as goals for myself in this month. 

1. Make a few freezer meals to pop in the deep freeze to make life a little bit easier as I go back to work. On the docket are...lasagna, tater tot casserole, ham balls, breakfast burritos and sausage balls. 

2. Read a book. I often fall off the reading wagon when I go back to work because I'm just too darn tired at night. I'm hoping to reach for my Kindle instead of my phone at night to wind down.

3. Host "Back to School Brinner" for Sammy. We did this last year and it was so fun! We'll do this special meal the night before his first day of Kindergarten. And then, I'll probably cry. 😉

4. Organize our guest room. This room becomes our "dumping ground" and it's the last area of my house that needs organized on my summer to-do list. 

5. Get back into an early morning workout routine. I'm going to allow myself to sleep in (as much as I can with my resident alarm clocks, haha) for the next week, and then I'm going to start setting an alarm again. I feel so much better when I start my day with an early morning workout. 

Have the best first day of August. XX

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! 

Disney World: Day 6 Recap

We're a little bit behind in posting, but today I'm sharing our day 6 recap to our Disney World trip! Today we went to...Animal Kingdom!  I love an Animal Kingdom park day following a rest day. Animal Kingdom has lots of opportunities for animal viewing, and the animals are most active during the morning. It's a great idea to start your day at Animal Kingdom early to maximize your animal viewing opportunities.  On this day we were up and on our way around 8:00. We had a lightning pass for the Nav'i River Journey beginning at 8:05. This ride is located in the Pandora section of the park and it is truly amazing. There are lots of floating mountains, water features, and fun details throughout. Although the boys had zero frame of reference about the movie, we enjoyed the ride and some breakfast before heading to... Festival of the Lion King! Truly - this show is worth the cost of your park admission alone. We loved the songs and the dances, and Sammy was thrilled with the f...

Disney World: Day 7 Recap

We woke up on January 1st ready for our last full day at Disney World!  The boys were a little slow moving this morning (who came blame them after 4 park days 😅) but we had a Lightning Lane booked at 8:05AM for Tiana's Bayou Adventure (formerly known as Splash Mountain). I sent Sammy and Dustin ahead to Magic Kingdom so Jack could have a slower start, and we met up with them in Fantasyland right around 9:30. We knew today was going to be a long park day. We were worried to leave for a rest in case the park reached capacity, and we wanted to make sure we stayed for fireworks!  We packed our morning with lots of rides and tried the new beignets. Sammy loved them! I also caught my favorite picture of the trip this morning. I was trying to take a cute picture of the boys, and Sammy's arm was around Jack's shoulders. At this exact moment... Jack took hold Sammy's finger and bit it. He didn't bite very hard, but hard enough to get this reaction from Sammy. 😂 It is somet...
