This month’s topic is let’s look at..how we prep for the holiday season.
Oh…well…even when I try to prep, I don’t feel very prepared when the season comes. That being said, here are a few things I try to do.
1. Notes/Lists
I keep a note on my phone with gift ideas as I think of them throughout the year.
I also make notes of recipes for the season and activities or traditions that I want to make sure that we do.
2. Amazon list
The past couple of years, I’ve made an Amazon list that I share with my mom, sister-in-law and grandma with gift ideas for the kids and me. That way, once the items are purchased, they are taken off the list. This has been a nice way to stay organized and share ideas.
3. Decorate when you can
In 2020, on Election Day, I put up my two skinny Christmas trees. One was in the living room and the other in the sun room. My kids rolled their eyes and even ask “Why are you already putting up Christmas decor?,” but the truth is that’s a day I have time to do so….so I do.
And, thanks to this blog, when I put out the rest of the decorations, I can look back on where I put my seasonal decor, so that saves time and energy.
4. Plan ahead
Once November hits, I always find time and pencil in some of our traditions like going to the horse park lights and baking cookies. I also always write down parties and plan accordingly. That has worked well to make sure we get some family time in or know when I might have time to wrap presents.
5. Stay Organized
Like I said, I have lists for gifts, meals, and activities. I have a note on my phone of things I need to buy for the next year. For example, if I’m running low on wrapping paper, I make note of that to purchase for the next year.
Also, I get rid of seasonal items if I don’t use them to help keep some of the holiday bins organized.
I’d love to hear how you prep for the holidays; give me all the tips!
Well, all good things must come to an end…it’s back to school we go after a week off for fall break!
It’s the first Monday of the month, so I’m linking up with with Tanya to share my Amazon purchases this month.
I had quite a few purchases this month:
First up is this over-sized t-shirt. It’s perfect to wear with leggings or wear as a sleep shirt.
I did a quick change after school before running off to a volleyball game.
I had this set saved on one of my Amazon lists, and I decided to order it before our fall break trip. It arrived right before we left, so I quickly tried it on and new that I loved it.
To me, it doesn’t look exactly like the Amazon pic because the sleeves (on me, at least) are regular length and don’t go past my elbows. Anyway, I wore it more than once in Florida, and it was perfect to just throw on and go. I got my normal size.
Last month, Tanya shared this blouse that I’d also seen and saved to a list. Well, once she shared it, I went ahead and ordered it. I sized up and didn’t need to, but I love it. It’s lightweight, flowy and forgiving.
I ordered these pants as something to wear year round with a tank, a t-shirt or a sweatshirt. They are so comfy and cozy, and I just love the pockets and the hem at the bottom. This is definitely something I might order in another color.
‘Tis the season for congestion and allergies. Travis ordered this “boom.boom” nasal stick three pack for the kids to use. These are great to clear up your sinuses!
You know I watch lots of volleyball games and track meets, and I’ve had the same chair for a few years, but wanted one with arms and a bigger back. An influencer I follow, @bobbiwiththeeye, shared her favorite chair when it was on sale, so I snagged it right up. It’s worth the full price too, but I was happy to get a bit of a deal.
I shared this flag in an earlier post, and it’s so cute.
It’s been the perfect update for the front yard.
Again, I ordered my “tried and true” eye mask that I use every morning. I keep them in the fridge, so they are nice and cool under my eyes. With a new pack, the first few seem to be extra drippy, but I always just rub the extra retinol on my face or neck.
Well, due to one of Hadley’s volleyball games, I had to miss one of my facial appointments. Since I missed my September dermaplane, I took matters into my own hands. These Tinkle razors were very easy to use. I think I can get a couple of touch ups out of each one. (Also, these say eyebrow razor, but they can be used on your face)
Last but not least, Hadley had one of these wallets on her phone, and has had it for a few years. It was stretched out and falling apart, so I got her another two pack before we left for our beach vacay. The last thing I needed was her losing her debit card in Florida!
I know tomorrow and Wednesday are big days for Amazon, so some of these items might even have a better price.
Happy Priming!

Well, this week went by quickly. Why is it like that when you have time off? We’ve been on fall break in Florida this week, and it just went by too fast!
I hope you’ve had a great week.
As always, I’m linking up with Andrea and Erika for this week’s Friday Favorites.
Here are a few faves from the week:
We left Saturday morning and drove the ten hours to 30A Florida near Seaside. This is our third fall break doing this with three other families, and it’s truly become one of my most favorite weeks of the year.
We arrived at the house around 5:30, and I was able to catch the 6:30 sunset with a friend. I do hate that the sun sets so early in the fall!
We had the best week with our kids…the girls…
…and the boys.
Due to Hurricane Helene, the waters weren’t very clear the first two days. The Gulf looked more like the Atlantic Ocean, but with each passing day, the green blue water reappeared.
We had fun shopping in Seaside and grabbing breakfast or a mimosa most mornings.
We were able to catch a few sunsets this week. Honestly, the four of us weren’t on the beach together often as the kids kind of did their own thing, and Travis isn’t really a beach guy, so I was thankful to snap this sunset pic on Tuesday.
Seaside sweatshirt pic…per tradition!
Every year, I stop in the Sundog Books store and pick up a book or some other souvenir.
I loved this quote when I stopped by yesterday:
I’m sure I will do a full recap, hopefully next week, but we had a great week filled with sand, sunshine, family and friend time.
Favorite Mom Meme:
Hahaha…Hadley is like me in many ways!
One more fave:
Two afternoons this week, Tuesday and Wednesday, Hayden and I came back from the beach in time to cheer on our boys in blue. The Royals swept the Orioles and are headed the ALDS series which starts tomorrow vs. the Yankees in New York.
It’s been so fun watching them this season, and we even went to a game while in KC this summer and then we went to Cincinnati about a month ago to watch them as they beat the Reds.
What are your weekend plans? We’ll get home tonight, and then I need to spend the rest of the weekend getting my life in order! I see laundry and grocery shopping in my future as well as some downtime to watch the Royals game on Saturday.
How is your week going? We are having a great fall break; I will share more about that later in the week.
Since September is over, I’m sharing what I read last month.
Well, unfortunately, just like in August, I only read one book in September.
{As always, book summaries are from Goodreads…}
The Secret Book of Flora Lea:
Summary:
When a woman discovers a rare book that has connections to her past, long-held secrets about her missing sister and their childhood spent in the English countryside during World War II are revealed.
In the war-torn London of 1939, fourteen-year-old Hazel and five-year-old Flora are evacuated to a rural village to escape the horrors of the Second World War. Living with the kind Bridie Aberdeen and her teenage son, Harry, in a charming stone cottage along the River Thames, Hazel fills their days with walks and games to distract her young sister, including one that she creates for her sister and her sister alone—a fairy tale about a magical land, a secret place they can escape to that is all their own.
But the unthinkable happens when young Flora suddenly vanishes while playing near the banks of the river. Shattered, Hazel blames herself for her sister’s disappearance, and she carries that guilt into adulthood as a private burden she feels she deserves.
Twenty years later, Hazel is in London, ready to move on from her job at a cozy rare bookstore to a career at Sotheby’s. With a charming boyfriend and her elegantly timeworn Bloomsbury flat, Hazel’s future seems determined. But her tidy life is turned upside down when she unwraps a package containing an illustrated book called Whisperwood and the River of Stars . Hazel never told a soul about the imaginary world she created just for Flora. Could this book hold the secrets to Flora’s disappearance? Could it be a sign that her beloved sister is still alive after all these years?
As Hazel embarks on a feverish quest, revisiting long-dormant relationships and bravely opening wounds from her past, her career and future hang in the balance. An astonishing twist ultimately reveals the truth in this transporting and refreshingly original novel about the bond between sisters, the complications of conflicted love, and the enduring magic of storytelling.
Quick Thoughts:
My mom suggested this book because she’d read it…I think for a book club…and my grandma had read it as well.
This book was a great read. I loved that it was historical fiction, it was whimsical, but there was also a sense of mystery.
Fave Quote:
“Telling stories is one of the greatest powers we possess. It’s like a dream you can fill with what you want. And the knight doesn’t always have to save the princess; sometimes she saves herself.”
Rating:
I added some reading trackers for October on Instagram. Feel free to use them to share what you are reading…and don’t forget to tag me, so I can share.
Thanks to a lot of reading and audio books in June and July, I’m only one book behind on my Goodreads reading goal for the year. Hopefully, October will be the month that I get at least two, maybe three books read!
How was your weekend? Our weekend started off with crazy weather on Friday. Many districts called off school, but we had school and shouldn’t have been in session. There was heavy rains, winds 50+ miles per hour, schools without power and more.
Unfortunately, we had some damage to our front yard. One of the two huge trees in our yard fell over.
I will miss this view in the fall:
We still have the tree on the left, but together, they were quite the dynamic duo in the fall. So many neighbors and friends have even commented on what a bummer it is to lose that tree.
We have power, but so many in our area still haven’t had their power restored. There is so much destruction and devastation in so many areas from Florida to North Carolina. One of our favorite places, Asheville, was ravaged with flooding water.
Anyway, it’s hard to believe, but it’s the last day of September, so I’m sharing some memes that made me chuckle:
I felt like August went by so slowly, but September flew by!
Me every Monday:
This one really did make me laugh because I do save candles!
This is absolutely me:
I do this more than I’d like to admit…
Also me….
I used to be so great at parallel parking, but that is currently not my strength.
Also September…
I can’t wait for the cooler weather that October usually brings.
Well, I can’t believe it, but today is our last day of school before fall break! I feel like the first couple of weeks of school moved slowly, but September sure felt like it flew by.
As always, I’m linking up with Erika and Andrea and for this week’s Friday Favorites.
I have quite a few favorites, so here we go:
Friday, two students gave me friendship bracelets they made me. One of them is a combo of their names, and the other stands for “we need to talk” because that’s what they always say when they come and ask me a question. It was such a sweet gesture!
My brother’s family got a new pup a few weeks ago. Growing up, our family dog was a Doberman, and my brother wanted one for his family. Tucker is a handful, but he’s a cutie…especially when he’s sleeping 😉
Hayden had a meet in Louisville last Saturday, and he had another PR. The high school races are so different than the middle school ones. I’m lucky to see him once in the hundreds of runners and the races are longer which means I feel like I’m waiting forever to see him!
My dad was in town last week and got to see Hayden’s race.
Hadley had a tournament in Louisville on Saturday as well.
So, after Hayden’s race, we made our way to the tournament. The Major got to see that activity as well.
Right after the tournament ended, we hurried home. I had to wake up at 5:00 that morning, so I was ready to get home and take a quick nap before all of the Homecoming activities started.
Hadley had a couple of friends come over to get ready around 3:30. Once they were ready, I dropped them off at dinner with their group before meeting for pictures before the dance.
Hadley’s date brought her flowers, and they were so pretty.
Hadley and her friends all looked beautiful.
We continue to have good luck with finding dresses online. This was the first dress we ordered, and Hadley loved it.
Look at this crew…they all went to elementary school together, and have been friends for ten years!
Yes, Hayden is friends with the same crew…but didn’t have Homecoming on his freshman year Bingo card 😉 Once he found out it cost money for the ticket, he was out! haha (I did tell him I’d give him money for the ticket, but no dice on that offer.)
Can you believe this entire crew got a dinner reservation at the same restaurant? We reminded them to tip (at least!) 20%. 😉
They all went to the dance for a bit and then Hadley hung out with some friends after the dance. Overall, I think they had a great time.
Favorite Meal:
I’ve probably shared this recipe before, but I made One Pot Chicken Alfredo again this week, and it was a hit. One of my pet peeves is boiling water and having to wait on it to put my pasta in. I love a one pot recipe where the noodles cook in the same dish as the rest of the ingredients!
Favorite Mom Meme:
The number of times I ask kids to pick up their shoes…
Bonus Fave: Flashback Friday
Look at this toothless pic from 2015. My kids loved playing soccer when they were little. They were on team Force and had both scored three goals each! Confession: I’m glad the soccer years are over. I know we do club seasons in other sports, but soccer seems intense! Both kids have friends who play competitively, and it seems like a huge commitment.
What are your weekend plans? Well, it’s the start of fall break for us, and we are ready for it! I hope to still have a few posts next week, so I will see you then.
How is it already the end of September? I feel like once we get through August and we are in a back to school routine, the school year really starts to fly by!
I’m linking up with Holly and Patty for this month’s Monthly Musings.
This month’s topic is…Back to School Routines, Recipes and Fall Fashion.
1. What are your best tips for getting into a fall/back to school routine?
Well, I don’t know that I’m the best one to answer this question….we kind of just “rip the Band Aid off” and go for it.
That being said, I do try to buy school supplies in late July and do other school errands a couple of weeks before we go back to school, so we aren’t scrambling once summer is over.
2. Please share your favorite fall recipes.
One of my favorite fall recipes is Pumpkin Penne Sausage Pasta, which I’ve been making for years. I found the recipe on the side of a box of Kroger pasta.
I’m no fashionista, but I always answer this question with the fact that I love adding cardigans to dresses in the fall. I have my favorite cardigan in three colors!
4. Favorite part of back to school this year?
This year, my favorite part has been seeing my kids and my kids’ friends in the hallway. It’s still a surprise for me to turn the corner and see a familiar face. The highlight of my day is when the kids (and their friends) come to my classroom when school is out.
5. Do you celebrate Homecoming where you are?
We do celebrate Homecoming, and our school dance was last weekend. Hadley went and had a great time with her friends.
6. Apple pie or apple cider?
Both!
It’s pretty rare that I have apple pie though…
I did grab these apple blossoms and Trader Joe’s, and they are great with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top!
I always get hot apple cider when we visit our favorite pumpkin patch!
7. Do the leaves change colors where you live? If so, when?
They do…and it depends on the temps, but I feel like the leaves peak around the middle of October, and then we have leaves on the ground by Halloween. Our front yard trees are stunning, but they don’t last long enough!
8. Favorite fall sweet treat? Do you have an recipes to share?
Apple cider donuts are my guilty pleasure in the fall! Hadley does’t like apple cider donuts…which is about the only time I wonder “how can she be my daughter?” haha
I made this cake for the first time last year, and I made it again last weekend.
10. Movies that give you the back to school feels?
I’m not sure why, but Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and Back to the Future were the first two to pop in my mind. I guess because Ferris skips school and Marty is in high school.
I loved writing this post as fall is certainly my favorite time of the year. I can’t wait for October!
This week started off slowly, but is certainly picking up the pace.
It’s been quite a while since I’ve shared a day in the life post, so that’s what I’m doing today!
I’ve captured last Monday…September 16th.
I forgot to screen shot my phone when my alarm went off, but I got up at 5:50. This is a new time for me this year. I used to get up at 6, but 5:50 has given me a few extra minutes in the morning with a new time frame of the kids getting up a bit earlier than they did in their middle school years.
The day before, I had put out my fall decorations, so I was happy to turn on my pumpkin and light a fall scented candle.
While my coffee brewed, I found my best friends in the fridge. I applied my eye mask, grabbed my coffee and went to the living room.
‘Tis the season for this mug:
I always watch the local news…while I drink my coffee, read blogs, and scroll Instagram.
I usually play my daily Bejeweled Blitz during this time too.
I try to get moving by 6:50, but I was lazy and lounged until this time:
…before trying to wake my sleepy heads. They set alarms, but definitely know how to hit the snooze button.
Then it was time to wash my face and do my morning skincare routine.
Of course I made the bed.
Then, I applied my under eye concealer…I like to let it set, while I drag the kids out of bed and make my way to the kitchen.
I pulled out my slow cooker as a reminder to start dinner when I got home from school.
Then, I packed my lunch. Mondays are often lots of prepackaged items…
The kids were eating breakfast, so I went ahead and got ready. I did my makeup and my hair…
…and I was ready for the day.
I filled up my travel coffee mug, grabbed my school stuff, hugged everyone goodbye, and headed out to leave.
On my way out, I realized there was a load of laundry that needed to be moved to the dryer, so I did that.
On my drive to school, Trav called to get organized for the day. Hadley and I used to have the same Apple account/ID?, so when Trav calls, it says, “dad.” haha
I got to school, and got my board ready. I always update the date, write the agenda, learning targets and learning intentions. Ugh…don’t get me started on the things I have to write on my board that the kids don’t care about 😉
This year, I purchased a digital set of Google slides from Teachers Pay Teachers, to use for my agenda. Some slides have timers and “welcome” messages.
It’s really helped keep me organized, and the students know what we are doing when they walk in the room.
On this day, we were going to the library, so I didn’t have much to prepare.
Here’s an example of what a typical class period looks like:
First hour, my English 1 students went to the library. We have an amazing librarian who is really involved and plans fun activities. She talked with the students for a few minutes, but then they played “break out games” in groups to open boxes using clues about the library. It was a fun way for them to get acclimated with the library, learn new info, and work with others.
2nd hour is one of my intervention hours. A teacher sent me a few students who needed additional support answering comprehension questions for the Cyclops part of the Odyssey.
After 2nd hour, I have tardy cart duty with another teacher. If a student is late to 3rd hour, we scan their ID and give them a tardy pass to class. I only have to do this for five minutes or so.
3rd hour is my planning period, and I maximized my time.
I went to make copies after tardy cart duty. Most of what we do is online, but I still have to make a few copies throughout the week.
Then, I went back to my room to get organized. I started a binder with everything we are doing in Unit 1, so I had some pages to add to that.
Then, I sat down and scanned the sections of The Odyssey that we were reading last week. I like to have the student book out when I’m teaching as it’s lighter and easier to carry when I’m walking around the room. Since we got new curriculum this year, I’m having to prepare day to day.
I jot down questions and answers in the student book that I keep, so I’m not dependent on the teacher edition when I teach.
Then, I take some time to get my Canvas page organized. This does take a few minutes, but I know the pay off is great if I stay organized, and it helps the students.
Then, I had time to grade a few assignments. Friendly reminder that I haven’t had to grade papers in close to five years….so this has been my biggest adjustment going back to the classroom. I will say that the online grading is pretty seamless, and then Canvas syncs with our grading system every night to update grades.
I also had a few more minutes to plan reading strategies for my students as we read The Odyssey. Since this is our first year, I’ve given them a reading/literacy strategy to do before, during or after reading our assigned text for the day.
This way, they stay engaged in the reading and will know these strategies as we use them throughout the year.
Then, it was time for Advisory. I share an Advisory with a math teacher. Advisory is only 25 minutes, so I head to his room to help out. Just this week, our principal moved Advisory to the beginning of the day to hold students more accountable with attendance, so that’s been a bit of an adjustment.
4th hour is my other MTSS hour. I helped a student with a Newsela assignment.
Then, I had lunch and a 30 minute meeting.
My last two classes of the day are my Advanced English 1 and Co-teach English 1. Those classes went to the library as well.
When the librarian told me when she was available, I jumped at the Monday availability because it was nice to start the week that way with something different for my students to do.
After school, my kids came to my room, and we left pretty much immediately because we had a busy evening.
As soon as a I got home, I saw that Amazon had delivered my new garden flag. It was the perfect addition to the front yard, so I put it out immediately.
Then, I went inside and made Hadley a quesadilla before I had to take her to her scrimmage.
I put meatballs in the slow cooker for dinner later. When I know we won’t eat until late, I prefer to put food in the slow cooker later rather than have it sit all day. I made Shay’s meatballs and rice.
Then, I changed my clothes. I always change out of school clothes as soon as possible! I have this over-sized t-shirt in a couple of colors, and I love it.
I picked up two of Hadley’s friends, and dropped them off at the school where they had three scrimmage games.
I came home for about thirty minutes and had a snack and did my Bible study.
My favorite snack lately is a bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios. It just hits the spot!
Then, I went to Hadley’s games. They played at 5:30, 6:30 and 7:30, but of course the games were running late…
…so a soft pretzel became my dinner!
Once we got home around 9, I helped Hayden study for his Biology test the next day. My kids hate it, but I tell them note cards are the way to go. Yes, it’s true…kids don’t know how to study. I tried to stay awake while talking about homeostasis!
I watched a few minutes of baseball…
…before mustering the energy to take a shower…and then it was time for my PM skincare routine. One of my friends sells Mary Kay, and for my birthday this year, she gave me this Retinol. I use it Monday, Wednesday and Fridays, and I love it.
After my skincare, I brushed my teeth and got ready for bed. The kids came in to tell me goodnight as I was reading my Kindle.
Then, it was lights out at 10:20. I was tired!
So, that’s a peek a relatively normal day for me. If Hadley doesn’t have a game, she still has practice, as does Hayden…but at least I get home a little earlier on those evenings.
I hope your week is off to a great start! I had every intention of sharing a post yesterday, but our weekend was non-stop, and I just ran out of time!
I will share more later in the week, but my dad was visiting, the kids had activities, and Hadley went to the Homecoming dance on Saturday.
Anyway, it’s been a while since I’ve shared a Trader Joe’s post, and after a stop there last week, I’m sharing a few items I picked up.
This isn’t a full haul, but I’m sharing a few faves, some of which are staples, and others are more seasonal.
Well, the first time I stopped in Trader Joe’s a couple of weeks ago, they were sold out of one of my favorite fall items…apple cider donuts! When I went last week, they had some! I don’t often eat breakfast, but these have been a nice indulgence.
I did pick up some pumpkins this weekend. The front porch is almost finished.
I love French toast and Brioche bread, and these slices are a winner!
I always buy egg bites when I go to Trader Joe’s, but this is a new flavor. The cheddar cheese and turkey sausage egg white bites were perfect for my lunch last week.
Hadley loves macarons, and I’ve seen these many times at Trader Joe’s. I picked up a box for us to try, and they are delish.
Tis the season for pumpkin cream cheese. This cream cheese on a bagel is a great snack or breakfast idea.
We all love cheesecake, and I’ve bought this one before, so it was Sunday night dessert last week.
These waffle fries caught my eye since they are seasoned. I added them as a side last week for dinner, and I liked them but the kid didn’t. I think the issue was that they weren’t very crispy which was probably my fault (or the air fryer’s fault!)
I only bought one box of the pumpkin bread mix, and I should have purchased more! I always make the muffins, and Hayden took care of most of those on Sunday! Nothing says “fall” to me more than pumpkin bread and muffins.
I buy white cheddar mac and cheese almost every time I go to Trader Joe’s as it’s Hadley’s fave. In the fall and winter, I sometimes use this mac and cheese as a side dish for dinner. It’s a great comfort food.
Speaking of comfort food, another fall item I love is this tomato soup. Sometimes for dinner in the fall and winter, we have this with grilled cheese for dinner.
This “apple”wine cocktail was an impulse buy. I like the rose’ ones, so I thought I would try the apple since it’s seasonal. They are actually pretty good if you like apple flavor, but they are kind of sweet.
So, those are a few of the items I picked up recently from my favorite store! What have you gotten at Trader Joe’s lately?
How was your week? We had a great week, but I’m getting annoyed with the weather. I can honestly handle 80 degrees, but I’m over the 90 degree temps!
As always, I’m linking up with Andrea and Erika for this week’s Friday Favorites.
Here are some favorites from the week:
‘Tis the season at Trader Joe’s. I made a stop at Trader Joe’s on Saturday and picked up some of my regular items as well as some fall favorites.
I did resist the temptation to buy some front porch pumpkins, but I hope to do that this weekend.
Not a favorite…on my walk back to my car, this startled me….
…like I had bags in both my hands, and I jumped back startled! A couple others walking near me asked if I was ok…and then saw the hand. haha
This is a blurry photo, but it’s a screen shot of a video. On Saturday, Travis was working, so Hayden convinced Hadley to follow him on her bike for his ten mile run. She was biking and had her blue tooth speaker on her handle bar, so they got to listen to some tunes. The video was shared on his running club’s Instagram page, so that was a nice shout out after running 41 miles last week. It was sweet that Hadley obliged Hayden’s request…especially since she had to get up early to do so.
Saturday night, the kids went to the UK game. Travis had to work late, and I had things to do at home. So, they went with friends, and Hadley shared this pic with me.
They had fun with their friends (and cousins), but were bummed about the 13-14 loss to Georgia. I guess I’m getting a glimpse of the next few years as at close to midnight I was waiting for them to get home.
On Sunday, I had time to decorate fall. I was so happy to turn on my pumpkins and light my fall candles!
Also, y’all …no lie. I didn’t buy a single new fall decoration…except…
… a new garden flag. The fall garden flag that I’ve had for years, was showing its age. So, I ordered this cute one from Amazon. It’s less than $10, and seems to have all of the initial options. I was so pleasantly surprised with the quality too!
The spider webs were just an added touch from nature!
Since I pretty much decorated the same as last year, I’m not sure if I will do a “fall home tour” post this year. Here’s last year’s post in case you are interested!
Of course, we had some volleyball this week. Hadley had one away game and one home game, and they won both! Her away game was at a brand new school about thirty minutes away, and the gym was amazing.
Favorite Recipe:
On Wednesday night, I tried a new recipe. It was sooo easy, and it was delicious as well. Chicken Broccoli Cheese Casserole will definitely be added into the dinner rotation.
Favorite Mom Meme:
Where is the lie?
Weekly Recap:
The week got away from me, but I did have a couple of posts this week:
What are your weekend plans? Tonight and tomorrow will be very busy for us as it’s Homecoming weekend. On top of that, Hayden has a race tomorrow and Hadley has a volleyball tournament. I guess Sunday will be our day of rest.
