Friday Favorites [8-30-2024]

 


It's the end of our first full week of school with students, and I don't know that I've ever been so happy to see a Friday. 😉 I'm linking up with Erika and Andrea to share a few favorites from this busy week. 


I made these savory sausage muffins this weekend and they were a favorite for quick breakfast option! Dustin really liked them, too. 


Sammy is settling into the groove of kindergarten! He wakes up excited to go each day, and we're so thankful for supportive family members who can help get him to and from school safely. On this day my aunt picked him up and had her dog with her. He was so excited! 


Last weekend the boys (and I) had a jammie morning. We were so happy to be home relaxing together! I'm looking forward to a repeat this weekend. 

In so many ways I think I prepared Sammy well for kindergarten and knew how to make the transition smooth for him. However - I neglected to think of myself through this transition. Haha. I miss having "access" to my boy during the day! If I had a question, I could quick text his childcare provider and hear back instantly about how he was doing. If there are any veteran moms reading, I'll take any and all tips about how to get through this. My sweet parents sent me some flowers to boost my spirits after a hard drop off (for me - not him 😅). I know things will get easier, but boy - I am missing my Sammy! 

Today's post is short and sweet. I didn't have much to share! It's my goal to be back posting consistently next week. I miss it! I'm going to take the long weekend, and I'll be back here on Tuesday. XX

    I love the sound of those muffins, what a great breakfast.
    That is great that Sammy has settled into kindergarten well. Sending love and hugs. It is hard seeing our little one's start school but it does get easier.

  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

Friday Favorites [4-5-2024]

  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

Friday Favorites 11-17-2023

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
