Friday Favorites [8-2-2024]

 


It's Friday! Our day has two things on the docket today: swimming at the pool and pizza night. It's going to be a great day! I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika to share some favorites from my week. 


Dustin and I completed a much needed organizational overhaul in our basement and as a result, we've been spending so much more time down there! When we finished our basement several years ago, we did it with the plan that the space would primarily serve as a playroom for the boys. They are starting to "play" together and it is so sweet to watch!


One morning this week Sammy wasn't quite ready to start playing but brother was. 😉 I'm afraid he's going to miss our slow mornings most of all when he starts kindergarten! 

We have a dachshund and she is *very* talented at finding the smallest patch of sunshine and soaking up some rays. I caught her on top of the couch while I was heading upstairs to do some laundry and her face made me laugh! 


Avocado toast on fresh sourdough is one of my very favorite foods for breakfast. On Monday morning I cut open my avocado and it looked like this...

...so I knew it was going to be a good week. 😉


I made my FAVORITE chicken salad to enjoy for lunches this week. It's so good! I'll have to share the recipe next week. I love to have something like this prepped in the fridge so lunches can be quickly assembled. 


One last favorite from the week. It was my dad's birthday last Friday, and I found this old picture in my baby book. I think I'm going to need to get it framed! He's holding me, and the little boy is my big brother Nick. So sweet! 

That's it for today! I hope that you have the best weekend. XX

Friday Favorites [9-6-2024]

  I'm always happy to see Friday, but especially when the weather calls for... this gloriousness this weekend, I.Can't.Wait.!  I'm linking up with Andrea  and Erika  to share some favorites from our busy, short week!  These brothers get so excited to see each other everyday after school, it melts me! They were together at childcare last year, so it makes me think that they have to be missing each other this year.  Brother time is always a favorite of mine. 😊 The chicken street taco kit from Costco is a favorite as well! This time of year it's important to get dinner on the table quickly and I love that this kit involves minimal clean-up.  This little boy is determined to start walking. He's getting braver and braver by the day!  There's a new flag football player in town. 😉 Sammy started flag football this week and I can't wait to watch him in action this fall! This is his "tough face." Haha.  Sammy's lunches have been a favorite for sure....

Friday Favorites [8-9-2024]

  It's Friday! I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  to share some favorites from my week.  I don't even know HOW it happened, but this is my last official week of summer. Can you hear me crying from wherever you are? 😅 June passed slowly, but July and August flew. I know that I will blink and the upcoming week will be over.  We've just been over here trying to soak in all  that's left of summer. 😉 On August 6th, Dustin and I celebrated 8 years of marriage! We celebrated with our first date night in an entire calendar year.  With Jack's allergies and Dustin's crazy work schedule, we find it so hard to get out just the two of us. It's a goal of ours to make it a priority this year!  Sammy's Kindergarten backpack, lunchbox and thermos came and he couldn't have been more excited. We loaded up all of his supplies and he is ready. Me on the other hand? I need someone to come over here and hold me. Haha.  Smiley boys at the park are ...

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...
