September Goal Check-In

How in the world is it October tomorrow?!


This weekend we moved from our "fall" decorations to our "Halloween" decorations and it made me a little bit giddy knowing that the next round of decor will be Christmas. I love fall, but the cozy Christmas season has my heart. Since we're at the end of a month and the beginning of another, it's time to check-in for a little reflection. 😉

My goals for September were...

1. Make time to enjoy the season 

I feel like we have spent time outside, we've made pumpkin muffins, and lit all the pumpkin scented candles. Now I'd just like the weather to cool down a bit to feel more like fall. 

2. Get into the groove with school

I think that I am finally starting to feel a bit less "frantic" and a bit more settled. I've never had a rougher start to a school year before, and I can't believe it's taken about 6 weeks to get into a routine. 

3. Take a minute for myself

Ugh. I'm struggling in this area still, but things are looking up. In fact, I've decided that this year I am keeping my nails done, for this very reason. If I have a dip manicure done, it guarantees that in about 2 weeks, I'm going to need to have another one. While last year this would have been a super big inconvenience (too difficult to leave a strictly breastfed infant), this year, I think it is manageable. My mom graciously offers to watch the boys if Dustin is working and I can drive myself (alone!) to the nail salon on a Sunday afternoon to get my nails done. Yes, please! 

I hope you all have a terrific start to your week. See you back here tomorrow for OCTOBER! XX

Friday Favorites [3-1-2024]

  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 ...

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...
