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

  It's Friday and I'm here sharing my favorites from the week. As usual, I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika . Here we go!  My very first favorite is that Jack is 9 months old today! I can't believe he's been "out" for as long as I was pregnant with him. 😊 He is the happiest little baby, and we just can't imagine life without him. I shared a little monthly update on the blog today as well.  Another favorite is that Sammy lost his second tooth over the weekend. He pulled it out himself! I told him that pretty soon he won't have any teeth left. 😉 An easy sheet meal dinner was perfect for our Wednesday night. I took some italian chicken sausage, sweet potato gnocchi, and green beans, plus a little olive oil and seasonings and roasted it up for about 20 minutes. Sammy loves chicken sausages, so a fuss-free dinner is always a win in my book.  We put out some St. Patrick's Day books over the weekend and have been enjoying reading them. I keep a

  Hello, Friday. It's always nice to see you. 😉 I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  to share some favorites from my week. Here we go!  My first favorites are these sweet Easter pictures. We had a fun weekend celebrating! I love any reason for my little boys to get dressed up and get a cute picture. 😉 Another favorite on April 1st was celebrating Jack's 10 month birthday! I can't believe in two months he will be one. I loved this picture showing off his top two teeth.  3 years ago, my family was at one of our favorite places...Disney World! We went to Florida over Easter in 2021 with my extended family and it was a fun little trip. This trip was rescheduled from March of 2020, and I love seeing all of the memories from our trip. Sammy looks SO LITTLE.  In this picture we were riding Dumbo. I remember that Sammy got off the ride and promptly asked to go again. Haha.  We made my  Easy Weeknight Tostadas  on Tuesday of this week and they were a hit! We loved this eas

How in the world is Thanksgiving next week?! November is absolutely flying by. I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  to share some favorites from the week! One of my very FAVORITE things in the world happened this weekend. Dustin got off work, stopped at Starbucks and I got a festive morning delivery. It's the best start to my day!  I made a few chicken pot pies over the weekend and stuck one in the freezer. It's always such a good feeling knowing that a homemade meal is prepped and ready to go! You can't beat comfort food this time of year. Speaking of comfort food, have you ever tried a ham ball? We had some for dinner on Sunday with cheesy potatoes. They're a staple meal in Iowa! I shared my recipe  here . Notice my Christmas plate being all festive underneath. 😉 Last weekend was glorious - we had two days with very few plans. It was so nice to be cozy at home! I put Sammy's Christmas sheets on his bed, and he couldn't have been more excited to climb
