October Goals

It's OCTOBER! One of the very best months of the year. 


Sammy's birthday is in October and I remember so clearly being so excited to turn my calendar to October back in 2018. The first few weeks of the month were filled with the anticipation of welcoming our baby and the last few weeks of the month were spent snuggling him. I'd love to go back and relive it all again. 😊

A new month means it's time for new goals. This is just a little way I keep myself accountable and focused, and I'm all for self-improvement. Here's what I've got for this month...

1. Start Christmas shopping

Christmas gifts for the boys are going to be minimal this year as they will be receiving an experience gift, but I've got a few people on our list to shop for. I'm hoping to purchase a few gifts this month to help spread things out. 

2. WORKOUT CONSISTENTLY

I have been really struggling with working out consistently since about...June. It's a big goal for me to get back to 4-5 weekly workouts. I just need to do a better job of getting myself out of bed in the morning. 

3. Celebrate Sammy's birthday

Sammy is having his first friend birthday party which I am so excited for! He is having a camping themed birthday party. I'm excited to pull it all together! 

4. Complete travel agent onboarding

I recently began the onboarding process for the Smart Moms Plan Disney travel agency! I need to focus on completing the onboarding process so I can start booking magical vacations for my friends and family. 

See you back here tomorrow. 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 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
