Five on Friday
Happy Friday! It’s been a chilly and busy week around here filled with lots of appointments — dentist appointments for the kids, multiple car appointments — a flat tire for Matt and a maintenance service day for me, house stuff, and a few other random things. Just one of those weeks with lots of last-minute …

Happy Friday! Three quick announcements before we dive in: 1. Teacher Work Day We had another teacher work day this week! Last week the kids were out of school two days for a teacher work day and hurricane day, so it’s been extra crazy not having a full week of school to get things done. …
Happy Friday! Before we get down to the 5, I wanted to say THANK YOU for all the prayers and kind messages for my family down in Florida this week weathering Hurricane Ian. I have been so anxious about the storm and am grateful that everyone in my family is safe — and will hopefully …
Happiest Friday! We’ve got a packed weekend ahead full of fun activities! And it’s my birthday weekend!! 1. Thomas’s First Soccer Game Thomas played in his first soccer game last weekend!!

Happy Friday! It’s been an exciting and busy week, per usual! We’ve been having some not-so-fun repair work done on our home that we’ve been delaying for too long (stucco/wood rot repairs) and it’s been loud so I’ve been blogging at the coffee shop some days this week. To be honest, it’s been a nice …

Happy Friday and happy long weekend ahead, friends! It was a great first week of school for Thomas and Caroline. Both kids have been so excited to be back in class with their school friends and LOVE their teachers (Thomas has Caroline’s former first grade teacher!!!). To be expected, there are the usual kinks with …
Happy Friday! School starts on Monday and I can hardly believe it. It has honestly felt like the longest and shortest summer, and I’m feeling very mixed emotions as we close out our last weekend before we officially have a first and third grader. We’ve been slowly getting things organized all week in preparation for …
Happy Friday! 1. Camp Mimi & Grandad We are picking up the kids today from Mimi and Grandad’s house where they’ve been having a blast this week! They’ve been in a super fun full-day camp, Caroline lost a tooth, and they got spoiled with some school shopping! It’s been so weird being home without them …

For the next few days, our group is taking a break from carpool drop-offs, packing lunches, bathing babies and work. And we’re trading it in for a weekend away to recharge …
