Good morning everyone! Today I decided to share some things that I learned when we went from having one to two kids. With baby #3 arrival right on the horizon, it has just brought back all the feels again. Last night I found myself having similar concerns as I did when we were about to add my son to our family of three.

Good morning everyone, I hope you had an amazing weekend! Today I am sharing our weekend rewind. We had a pretty low key weekend and stuck around the house for most of it. Saturday, we went to a flea market and garage sale, hung some things up around the house and met up with some girlfriends who came in from out of town! Sunday, we went to church and breakfast at a local diner and did some major sorting and organizing of paperwork. Again, my documenting skills are awful, but it wasn’t the coolest weekend to showcase, ha!
We wanted to take the kiddos to a little amusement park and swim, but the weather was pretty weird all weekend so any set time we planned to go swimming in the pool was ruined by random spurts of rain, annoying! But we were able to end the weekend in the pool which was nice!

Hey everyone and happy Friday! I cannot believe how quickly the weeks and months are going by and all the changes that are happening this month (at least my family)! Since it is mid-August, I thought I would post an update on how we are doing with our savings challenge this month. If you have no idea what I am talking about because you are new – here is a link to that post!

Good morning and happy Wednesday! Today’s recipe I cannot even take much credit for—my husband is a boss on the grill and so I basically just documented how he grills up our salmon in the summer. I love to pick up 1lb of salmon (normally I will have them do two ½ pound fillets) when it is on sale for like $7 a pound!

I wish I was tracking my steps this weekend because oh my gosh I am literally DEAD! Hence the reason for the late post today! Why does it seem necessary to clean and scrub the siding on the house, vacuum and organize the garage & basement and make sure the outside is looking great, all before baby arrives? I literally stopped myself multiple times this weekend asking those questions, (#nestingphaseisreal) but here we are Monday with everything in line, shockingly!

Wow, okay first off, how is it Friday?! I feel like this week flew even though it did kick my behind! Not only do I feel like baby is sitting lower, but insomnia and general lethargic behavior have set in. Hitting 36 weeks pregnant, I think baby will arrive any week now, and that’s where some anxiety is starting to creep in!

It’s hump day, and if you are looking for a light, yet flavorful burger to throw on the grill, this recipe is for you! My family loves these burgers – they are so fresh, light and inexpensive to make! I generally have these on the menu around the time I decide to stock up on a major ground turkey sale at our local grocery store. I am able to get 2 – 1lb packs of ground turkey for $2.50, I mean what—that is just a steal! So needless to say I like to take advantage of that sale and have the meat available for these or even as a ground beef substitute in recipes.

Good morning everyone – happy Monday! Ugh it is mornings like this that get me ready for Fall but also make me hate that the fact that this summer is flying and almost over! I have been so tempted to purchase new Fall clothing, but have been trying to hard to stop myself from going crazy! Anyone else have advice on how to have will power?!
So this weekend was an absolute crazy one – I really am already terrible at documenting things and it totally spiraled probably due to the fact that I was trying to keep it together because my husband was out of town from Thursday morning to Sunday night! What is humorous is that I stay at home with the kids EVERY DAY, so why was this any different?! In all seriousness, I think baby #3 is ready to come sooner than we think and my body just wanted me to sit!

Happy Friday everyone, I hope you all had an amazing week! I feel like everyone is freaking out about back to school already—how can this be?! I would totally feel the same way if my kiddos were older—I am even getting sad thinking about my daughter being gone for half the day only three days a week!
