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 [7-3-2026]

  It's Friday, and it's the 4th of July Eve! Sounds pretty good to me. 😉 I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  to share some favorites from the week.  I'm dipping my toe back into blog world because, well, I am missing documenting my kids' childhoods. It brings me such joy to go back and read through memories from years before documented in old posts, so I'm determined to hang out here a bit more consistently to share life.  This summer, I've got a seven (7?!) year old and a new 3 year old. Someone the other day was talking about what a difference a year makes from summer to summer and it is so true. For example, this year Jack and Sammy love to go play together. Last year, both boys required constant supervision. Last year Jack hated going to the pool, and this year he is a little fish! This is a BIG favorite for me! Last weekend Sammy participated in a "Run Hit Pitch" competition and won first place for hitting in his age division. He was so ...

Sammy is SEVEN!

  Sammy is SEVEN! Seven years ago we were at the hospital, excited and nervous to meet our Samuel John.  Sammy was always a happy baby and toddler, and that's continued into childhood. He is so affable, friendly, and confident! He loves his family, he loves to play and he loves to be active. Games are his favorite, and he loves to "snuggle."  Since returning back to school, he's developed a huge love of reading! As a first grade teacher this WARMS my heart. He loves most books, but right now he favors graphic novels. He is the best big brother. Without us asking, he is so willing to help his brother. Just yesterday, Jack sneezed and Sammy ran to get him a wipe and then proceeded to wipe Jack's nose for him. If someone gets hurt he often hurries to see what's wrong and if he can help. He's a lot like Dustin in that he loves to have fun and be social. He's a lot like me in that he loves to make lists and know the when/how things are happening. He loves a...

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...
