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.

Friday Favorites [5-3-2024]

  Yay! It's Friday and it's the month of MAY! Both of those things are very good things in my book. Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  to share some favorites from the week.  On Monday I shared that we had a busy weekend! My mom and I hosted a Bridal Shower for my sweet cousin Caitlin, and then our new niece and nephew were baptized on Sunday. It was a fun (but tiring) way to spend the weekend!  Jack especially loved all of the family time, and was happy to sneak in some giggles with Great Grandma before the shower began. 😉 We whipped up these  Burrito Bowls  for dinner one night this week, and it was a new favorite. It was such an easy meal that Dustin and I both loved!  It's May, which means that it's time for me to read "Charlotte's Web" to my class. I read it every year during the month of May! This book has seen much better years - I think it's time for a new copy. Haha.  The boys and I love to play in the basement...

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....
