Today I’m sharing a day in the life of us post! I love reading these posts on other blogs. Just an uneventful Wednesday for us – except the news that sissy has to go to virtual learning until the end of November – sigh… Just when we were getting into the swing of things!

What.a.week it’s been!! I really needed a mental health break from this week and really did NOT feel creative whatsoever. Is everyone else’s mind going absolutely in all directions?! Hoping and praying for our country right now! Sharing some things that make me happy!

Hello November and hello Monday! A little late to the game here today, but that’s okay – I’m sure I’m not the only one having a manic Monday! We had a really nice Halloween (one of the first in recent years without rain or gloom!) and we also stayed nice and cozy as we saw some of the first snowflakes fly of the season!

Today, I’m doing another fun link up with Mix and Match Mama and Sheaffer Told Me To where we recap the month with a little this and that! I love these kind of posts – they also make me happy because someday, I can look back at these little “journal” excerpts showing a glimpse of our lives lately!

Good morning and Happy Tuesday! My husband and I are starting to feel better which is good, the kids don’t QUIT – so that has been hard trying to juggle resting and playtime particularly when we’re trapped inside because the weather hasn’t been the greatest.
We did have a chance to get outside last week/weekend during some of the nicer days and finalize some of our home winterizing tasks. As I was working through my list, I thought, am I the only one with a winterizing checklist for the house? Are there things you button up every year and if so, how do you not forget about doing them? I would love to hear how you plan for the cold weather days ahead!

Another week come and gone! Our week was filled with lots of rain and dreary weather but we were given a summer-like day yesterday that made up for all the crummy weather recently!

Happy Wednesday! It has been rainy and dreary weather over here the past couple days, plus were laying low, so I thought it would be nice to do a little “activity” with the kids! Baking is always something I love to do with them – it’s fun to be creative, yummy when we get to eat our sweet treats and definitely a hands-on activity (messy at times!).

This post was supposed to come at you yesterday, but after a weekend of celebrating JP’s 3rd Birthday THEN feeling fatigued and weak Sunday, which carried over into yesterday – it didn’t happen. Needless to say we have some sort of bug over here, but hoping all will be okay this week and our families too.

A happy Friday to you my friends! We are celebrating a 3rd Birthday over here today and as I’m always saying – where has the time GONE?! JP is our fun-loving, energetic, kind and at times wild little boy and we hope to make his day so so special!
We plan to take him out to lunch after we pick up sissy from her half day at Pre-K, have him open some gifts and then head to a local trunk-or-treat event to score some candy! We have some things to finalize for his party tomorrow which will definitely make for a crazy day, but totally worth it in the end! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR SWEET SWEET BOY!!

My husband and I just watched The Social Dilemma documentary on Netflix and WOW, was that eye-opening! If you’ve been reading along for awhile, one thing I do not update on a regular basis like my blog here is my social media account. I will explain in more detail shortly, but I’m not a heavy user and honestly like it that way and will continue that way. Yes, social media is AWESOME for staying connected, finding information, learning new things, sharing deals, tips, tricks, etc., but it is also a very dark place at the core.
I don’t want to sit hear and sound like I don’t use Instagram at all – I most definitely use it, but one thing I’ve been conscience about since I started my blog over a year ago was how much do I plan to use it and for what purposes. Today’s Thursday Thoughts, I’m sharing what I got out of this documentary and I HIGHLY encourage you to give it a watch yourself. ESPECIALLY if you have young people!

It’s FRIDAY and for the rest of the month of October I thought it would be fun to share a fall feature every Friday! Now, a lot of this is local – so if you are from the Cleveland/Northeast Ohio region, this is for you! Otherwise, feel free to enjoy some pictures of our day at Patterson Fun Fest!

Each year, World Sight Day is recognized on the second Thursday of October and the purpose is to raise awareness about blindness, vision impairments and a reminder of the importance of eye exams and screenings.
Today, I see it necessary to spread this awareness and encourage you to take eye health very seriously – in particular being that advocate for our children. This is something they need us for! As a parent, it is our obligation to make sure we are aware of the vision developmental milestones and are actively listening and advocating for our kids.
If you’ve been following along, our daughter was diagnosed with Optic Nerve Hypoplasia – along with esotropia, hyperopia (farsightedness) and strabismus – at the age of 5 months. She is now 5 years old and has had 2 eye alignment surgeries. I shared our diagnosis story last year and since publishing, have heard from many people sharing similar stories.

This weekend, my husband and I celebrated our six year wedding anniversary! That seems wild that our wedding day was SIX years ago! Fast forward 3 kids, 2 homes and a whole lot in between, I want to thank my husband for being the most incredible man/partner in crime ever!
Today, I figured I would share 6 things we’ve learned these past 6 years of marriage! While we’ve known each other since grade school, there are still new things you discover as a couple and a parent.

Today I’m sharing a day in the life post and this could not be a more random Wednesday to write about! Sharing what goes on around here in a given day for the most part – we are preparing for a garage sale this weekend, so I spent a decent amount of time getting some things done for that and also I cleaned our pool for nearly two hours, so that chewed up most of my day! Hope you enjoy reading along!
