Happy Tuesday! Today I am sharing a very BASIC day in the life post. I LOOOOOVEEEE reading these posts on other blogs! We got off to a really late start with our day all because of THIS POST! Did you see it?! I’m hoping you did because it took a super long time, but I feel it is such a great checklist of baby registry essentials!

Anyway, without further ado – here was our Monday! Quick note: don’t let this fool you – our days are always filled with ups and downs. Kids get upset, I lose my patience – these days can be a lot but at the end of the day, I try to remind myself they are short lived. This day in particular we were really “far” behind a normal schedule so that didn’t help much!

Good morning and Happy Thursday! Today for Thursday Thoughts I wanted to celebrate the start of this blog ONE year ago! First off, I cannot even believe a year has already passed!

When I decided to go live with this blog last year, I had set some goals for myself. To be honest, a lot of those goals have morphed and I found myself adjusting and even changing my blogs vision and path.

The weather from this past week has forced us into the pool and I’m not complaining about it! We had a fun little pool party this weekend and I was able to put together some yummy “snack-uterie” boards with some staple Aldi items we like to keep on hand. I told myself at the beginning of summer I wanted to make sure we have our pantry and fridge stocked with staple items we could easily bring out for guests!

I’ve fallen in love with Aldi. They have a wide variety of quality and tasty foods and I love trying so many new things! Their prices are incredible and I almost guarantee you’ll never return to overspending on your groceries ever again!

Here are some staple Aldi items we love to have on hand ALWAYS (especially during the summer months)!

What a weekend! We prepared most of the week (even last week) for my husband’s 30th birthday party and we are SO SO pleased with the outcome of the party! He had a blast and so did our friends and family – it was such a great evening!

The following day we had two other parties to attend so to say we were exhausted come Sunday was an understatement. We couldn’t stop saying how much fun we had this weekend and are so blessed with amazing family and friends!

Oh my goodness, I seriously cannot believe I’ve been gone for a week on here. Honestly, that was not planned and I have no clue how this happened, but I figured I would play catch up on here and share what we’ve been up to lately!

Last week my husband turned 30! We enjoyed some pizza (his favorite) and sherbet to celebrate – along with a HUGE candle!

Cannot wait for the BIG celebration this upcoming weekend!

We’ve been spending a lot of time out in the yard working on some projects we had on our to do list for this summer. Each year we have an idea of certain projects/to-do’s we want to take on and we definitely hit the ground running this past week/weekend!

Happy Friday! The past two weeks have taken a toll on my heart but my prayer and hope is for less judgement for all people and more kindness, love and changes of the heart. Less division in our country and a stop to the bleeding wounds we have. Deep solutions to the problems and issues so many face – a push towards middle ground where we all can meet in agreement and understanding to help lift one another going forward. Putting in the work to become educated on all sides, be an independent thinker, not be naive, and find the absolute truths on all sides.

As of right now, my kiddos don’t see color, but I know I will continue to nurture love in our home, educate and provide encouragement in building authentic relationships as they grow up. After taking a little hiatus, I am excited to feel creative again! I was in such a rut about everything going on and also felt it was best to sit back, listen, read, research, talk with others and educate myself.
