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

Friday Favorites [10-4-2024]

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...

The Brisel family is OFF!

I'm so excited to share that our family is celebrating the holiday season at our very favorite place...Disney World! This trip has been a long time coming. We have been saving and planning for over a year, and yesterday we [yes we...Santa doesn't get credit for this one 😉] surprised our boys with a trip to Disney World for their Christmas gift. Disney is truly Dustin and my happy place, so we couldn't be more excited to bring the boys!  While we're gone I plan to blog about our trip, so I'm hoping to share an update tomorrow evening. For some who may not know, I am working my way through the certification process of becoming a Smart Moms Travel Agent, which is a travel company that specializes in trips to Disney World. I'm hopeful that it might turn into a fun hobby that lets me share a little bit of my Disney knowledge with other families. 😊 I thought blogging our trip would be a fun resource to share with future clients! For a little recap of today... We wer...

Disney World: Day 5 Recap

Rest days are a necessity for any Disney vacation, no matter the length of your trip. 😉 We have been pushing it and hoofing it all over Disney World, so we were overdue! Our plans today included a character breakfast with Minnie and her friends, spending time at the pool, and a character dinner at 1900 Park Fare.  Both boys slept in until 7:00 which was amazing! We got dressed and ready and began our way towards Cape May Cafe located at The Beach Club Resort. We took the Skyliner from our resort to the International Gateway at Epcot. From there, we had about a 5 minute walk to our restaurant. Super easy!  This character meal is one of the lesser known options for character dining. We've done character dining at Topolino's Terrace (amazing!), Tusker House and Chef Mickey's, so we were excited to try something different. Minnie, Daisy, Donald and Goofy are all dressed in their beach attire, and make their way around the restaurant several times. You're also able to do a ...
