Happy Friday! 1. Summer Updates It’s wild to think we are finishing up week 7 of summer already. We’ve been busy checking off lots of fun activities on our (ever-evolving) Summer Bucket List on the weekends! We continue to add and remove items from the list as our summer progresses and the kids frequently change …
Five on Friday
Happy Friday! I feel like I say this every week…but…it’s been a super busy week! Both kids started summer camp and swim team this week and are loving their new summer activities! Even though new drop-off and pick-up times are always a bit of an adjustment for us, it is really nice to have one …
I cannot believe it’s the LAST DAY OF SCHOOL for both kids!!! This week has been exceptionally busy with daily themes at school, year end gifts, lots of cards to write (especially for all of the teachers we wanted to say goodbye to at Thomas’s daycare) and work is busy too. Phew! But we made …
Happy Friday! Matt and I are packing up the car this morning for a very exciting weekend adventure. We are headed to the mountains with the kids where we will be splitting up for a mother-daughter and father-son camp weekend in the wilderness. I honestly cannot wait. We are leaving our phones behind (not allowed …
Happy Friday! We’ve got a really fun weekend ahead! 1. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone We have been reading Harry Potter as a family every night and are finally on our very last chapter!!! We are going to read the final chapter to the kids when they get home from school and then watch …
It’s been a crazy busy week around here with Teacher Appreciation Week for Thomas’s school, Kindergarten Beginners Day, dance classes, golf practice, dentist appointments for the entire family (all at the same time, which is my new favorite mom scheduling hack ever), Leadership Day for Caroline, a farewell dinner with friends moving away, birthday party …
Happy Friday! 1. Fully Vaccinated Earlier this month I was extremely grateful to receive my second dose of the Pfizer vaccine! Matt received his too and we are over the moon to be fully vaccinated. I was pretty nervous about the second shot after hearing from several friends that they had flu-like symptoms for about …
Happy Friday! 1. First 4-Day School Week Caroline returned to in-person school 4 days this week! As happy and grateful as I am to feel our lives slowly returning to normal, I have definitely felt a tinge of sadness being home without her by my side all week. And I miss my random whiteboard messages …
Happy Friday (and Teacher Work Day for us)! One year ago this was our last “normal” weekend before we began sheltering in place. It’s crazy to think we’ve been living pandemic life for ONE YEAR. However, we received some TERRIFIC news this week — elementary school students will be returning to the school building 4 …
Happy Friday! I wanted to give a huge thanks for all the messages, comments and emails I receive on my Life Lately post. It sounds like MANY of you are experiencing similar feelings right now too and that we’re all in this together! I would highly recommend checking out the comments on that post too …
Happy Friday! 1. Taco Bell Copycat Seasoning I’ve been making my own taco seasoning for years but decided to try a Taco Bell copycat seasoning recipe recently and REALLY liked it!!!! I tripled the recipe (and wish I had made an even bigger batch) and am storing it in this cute $3 glass container. And of course, …
Happy Valentine’s Day weekend! It’s been another stressful work week and I am really looking forward to turning off my computer after I hit my 5 pm deadline to submit the 7 budgets that I’ve been working on all week. I absolutely cannot wait to not look at an excel spreadsheet for a few days. …
