Friday Favorites [9-13-2024]

 


HOORAY for Friday. 😊 I couldn't be more excited for the weekend ahead! I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika to share some of my favorite "happies" from the week. 

We had THE BEST weekend last weekend! Saturday morning we were up and out the door early for a trip to Trader Joe's where we filled out cart with all the pumpkin-goodness we could find. 

We were home by 11 and decided it was time to put some more fall decor outside...


...to the delight of the boys. 😉


We have an inflatable dachshund (of course we do) that says "Happy Fall-oween!" It's a favorite of the boys for sure. 



A trip to Trader Joe's means that my family is having yummy (easy!) dinners during the week. I made a ridiculously easy Potsticker Stir Fry for an easy dinner this week while Dustin worked late. We also made some yummy flat breads using their Carne Asada, chimichurri sauce and arugula. This one was our FAVORITE! 


Jack's favorite thing to do these days is be a tornado, Haha. He is FAST and likes to get into EVERYTHING! This was my sight when I followed him into the bathroom this week. That grin!! 

Sammy has never been a kid who loves to draw or write (he'd rather use play-doh), but Kindergarten has changed that in him! He is drawing so much more, and it's exciting for me to watch. He drew a picture of us "going to the airport" on this day. So cute! 


Crack Corn was Dustin's favorite this week! It is the yummiest, most pot-luck friendly recipe...perfect for a tailgate! 


One last favorite for the week. This picture screams "second child" to me. In one hand he's holding a cone, and the other a rock from our rock bed. Haha! 

Have the best weekend, everyone! See you back here on Monday. 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

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
