Weekend Rewind – 05.31.22

I hope you had a beautiful long weekend! How blessed we are to live in such an incredible country – but these freedoms came at a cost. May God Bless those who served and are currently serving and their families. What a huge sacrifice.

Sharing our weekend review today – this weekend was the perfect unofficial kick off to summer – especially because our weather was HOT! This meant lots of pool time, a couple cookouts and lots of family time!

Summer Bucket List 2022

Good morning and Happy Thursday! Hope you all are having a great week! We have enjoyed the first lazy days of summer vacation and I made an effort on the first day of summer to sit down with the kiddos and put together a summer bucket list! These are always so fun for us! We accomplished a lot on last year’s list, but there were some things we didn’t get to! Excited to have those on the list this year and make an effort to make them happen!

Summer’s here! A list of our Summer Must-Haves

SUMMER IS HERE! While school ending and graduation can take an emotional toll on me – I did okay and I think it’s because I’m ready to enjoy summer and the kiddos. They’ve been pumped about summer and I’m relieved to not have to answer the question, “Mom, how many days until summer?” every. single. day.

Yesterday was the first day of summer and it went surprisingly well! It was a chillier day so we eased into our day lounging in the morning and drcided to make our summer bucket list! I will be sharing all things summer related on the blog this week, so come on back and check it out! I thought it would be fun to kick off summer sharing our summer must-have list! I shared a list in 2021.

Life Lately: What’s Going On!

Oh my goodness, I have no clue how I am awake to write this! I have taken an unintentional hiatus from blogging and am truly happy to be back writing today! Everything is going well over here, just been very busy and very tired by the end of the day – which is when I write my posts normally! Sometimes, it is so important to just drop one thing off your plate and unfortunately that was my blog for the short time being. I needed to re-prioritize my life and given the kiddos, our home, some invite work and providing flowers for eggshell land – not stressing myself out about blogging helped me get through those times!

I do want to be more intentional about how I utilize my time and the hobbies/businesses that I work so hard to keep all together. Constantly working to be in a better routine and better organized, but soooo many different things can throw a wrench in the plans. I just need to learn to roll with the punches and unload items that might be weighing me down! Anyway, enough about my unintentional break, here is a look at what has been happening in our lives recently!

What’s Up Wednesday [4.6.22]

Hello again friends! I’ve been on an unintentional blogging hiatus. Sheesh, life moves fast and we’ve been trying to keep up the past couple weeks. Between some sick kiddos, being sick myself and just adjusting to different changes that have been going on (all good things!) I needed to put blogging on the back burner. I lost my voice for about a week and a half, so happy to finally have that back and the kiddos back in school consistently!

Day in the Life – March ’22

It’s almost the weekend! I think I’m in desperate need for the weekend! Andrew was gone on a work trip from Sunday-Tuesday evening, I decided to launch my new business AND it’s just been a lot! So many things I still need to take care of and hoping to do some of those behind the scenes items this weekend! On Tuesday, I had on my calendar to take pictures for a day in the life post. Finally getting around to sharing today!

This day was seriously filled with a whole lot of nothing – but, that’s what these posts are all about – sharing the uneventful because this is real life! It was not a typical day as I spent most of my time trying to get business stuff figured out so that explains how I only had literally 8,000 steps, yikes!

I was BEAT this morning as were the kiddos…hit that snooze button a TON!
