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 one of my very favorite things. Look at these sweet brothers! 



You can't see Sammy's face in this picture, but he had the biggest grin on his face. He loved showing little brother the ropes at the park! 


I made the YUMMIEST pizza this week! I made a homemade crust using some sourdough discard. Then I topped it with a buttery-garlicky sauce, sweet corn, roasted red peppers, bacon, green onion and cheese. It was delish! The perfect way to eat up some fresh Iowa sweet corn. 😉


Jack "feeding" one of my childhood baby dolls was another favorite of the week. I loved this sweet smile. 

I'm off for the weekend! My goal for this weekend is to finish my summer to-do list so I can enjoy some fun the remainder of the week. I'm guessing this will happen at some point, too...


...it's my favorite cure for the Back to School Blues. 😅 Have the best weekend! XX

    The last couple of months have flown by. Enjoy the last of the summer break.
    Happy anniversary to you and Dustin, how lovely that you had a date night.
    Aww! Sammy's backpack is almost as big as him.
    The boys are just adorable.

  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

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
