Hello and happy Friday!

Shew! This week was a busy one. I know we stay pretty busy, but this week just had extra things for me like meetings, trainings, and open house. Plus, Travis was still pretty busy with work.

I’m definitely ready for the weekend. TGIF!

As always, I’m linking up with Andrea and Erika for this week’s Friday Favorites.

Like the past two weeks, I’m continuing with Erika and Shay’s Photo Challenge and sharing my week that way.

Here are some favorites from the week:

September 15: OOTD

Last Friday, I was having a moment for green, I guess. I wore this sweatshirt to school and then changed into even comfier clothes, including this SSYS shirt and leggings, for Hayden’s cross country meet. I had very casual OOTD.

September 16: Apples

I’ve been burning one of my Honeycrisp Apple candles from Trader Joe’s pretty much non-stop since I got them.

September 17: Friends

Hadley and friends had fun at the UK game on Saturday. (Hayden and friends did too, but I never saw them. haha) Homer, our best friend, looked so cute snuggling on the couch.

September 18: Made me smile

Amy shared about these pumpkin K-cups at Aldi, so I was happy when I found them on Monday. They are delish.

September 19: Cozy

Fall mornings are cozy with candles, pumpkins, a blanket and coffee.

September 20: The letter L

L is for lights and leaves. My house is feeling festive.

September 21: Traditions

Going to the pumpkin patch and carving pumpkins are two of my favorite traditions.

Other faves:

A few other favorites…

Hayden had a couple of cross country meets this week. He had a top 5 finish and 4k PR at a really competitive race in Louisville on Friday…

…followed by a first place finish at a local race on Tuesday.

Hadley was excited to see her cousin at Friday’s race. Then, Hayden spent the night, so he got family time too.

Some new candles arrived on my doorstep yesterday. I’ve never ordered from Life in Lilac, but I love following Jen Reed, and I knew her candles would be amazing. I ordered Fall Fever, and I can’t wait to burn it.

I took advantage of some Bath and Body Works points, and ordered: White Pumpkin, Pumpkin Cinnamon Bun, and Vanilla Pumpkin Marshmallow.

I *think* I’m set for the fall season!

Favorite Mom Meme:

Ugh…Hayden’s shoes stay scattered around the house! Honestly, Travis is a close second with this bad habit. haha

Bonus Fave: Flashback Friday:

Look at this toothless smile! Kindergarten Hadley is too cute.

Weekly Recap:

I had a variety of posts this week…meals, fall decor, and all about fall!

Hello and happy Friday!

I hope you’ve had a great week!

As always, I’m linking up with Erika and Andrea for this week’s Friday Favorites.

Like last week, I’m sharing my photos for Erika and Shay‘s September Photo Challenge.

Here are some favorites from the week:

September 8: In your town

Friday night lights were happening last Friday. We went to my school’s Homecoming football game. The weather felt like fall, so that was definitely a favorite.

September 9: Nature

Nothing says “cross country meet” like tons of hay bales!

Hayden had his first 4k race of the season, and placed 3rd. The weather was perfect for running…or so I’ve been told 😉

September 10: Letter A

Honestly, I wasn’t sure what I was going to share for this one, but after putting out my fall decorations, I had to make a trip to Michael’s. I saw my favorite Ashland light up pumpkin (I have two!)…and they were on sale.

September 11: Thankful for

My slow cooker, so dinner would be ready after all our evening activities.

September 12: Leaves

I’m loving how my mantle turned out this year!

September 13: 5 things

I shared this pic from the weekend. After Hayden’s cross country meet, he and I went to Hobby Lobby (he was thrilled…haha)…but then he spotted a Crumbl Cookie, so I said we could stop in there.

We got six total cookies, but five different flavors. They were pretty good.

September 14: Window view

I snapped this pic right before I headed out to bus duty.

Other Faves:

Long story short, Hayden’s friend was playing in the middle school regional golf tournament, and he needed a few more kids to make the foursome.

Hayden had fun on Sunday playing nine holes in the tournament.

I really showed restraint at Hobby Lobby, but I came home with a few pumpkins and a new fall coffee mug.

On Wednesday, Hadley and crew showed up and showed out in pink for 8th grade night for a couple of her friends who play basketball. Hayden and his friends were there too…some of them even wore pink!

Favorite Mom Meme:

The other night at dinner, Hayden inhaled a bowl of soup and went back for more. On his way to the stove, he grabbed a granola bar out of the cabinet and ate it before heading back to the table with another bowl of soup.

These kids stay hungry!

Bonus Fave: Flashback Friday:

I love this sweet moment from 2012.

What I wouldn’t give to go back in time for a bit…

Weekly Recap:

Here are my posts from the week. I wrote about a little bit of everything!

What are your weekend plans? Hayden has a race, and there’s a home UK game. I hope to enjoy some downtime, have some time to read, and cross some things off my to do list.

I hope you have a great weekend.

Hello and happy Friday!

TGIF! Why do the shorter weeks always feel longer? It was a good week, but it just felt never ending.

As always, I’m linking up with Andrea and Erika for this week’s Friday Favorites.

Here are some favorites from the week:

I’m taking a different approach to this week’s Friday Favorites post.

This week, I’ve joined in with Erika and Shay for their photo challenge on Instagram.

So far, I’ve remembered to share the daily photo. Here’s a look at the week:

September 1: The letter “F”

Well, September 1st was Friday, and we had some Friday night FUN.

Hayden went to the trampoline park with friends for a friend’s birthday. Hadley headed to the UK volleyball game, so Travis and I went out to dinner downtown before joining her and our friends at the volleyball game.

It was definitely a fun night.

September 2: Selfie

I snapped a sweaty selfie after Hayden’s cross country meet! I was wearing my favorite Fabletics leggings and SSYS workout tank.

September 3: Your view

Well, on Sunday, I had a few errands to run, and I went into Bath and Body Works. My view was of all the “wonderfall” fall candles. I bought a couple, of course!

September 4: Monday

Monday was Labor Day, and I was able to spend a couple hours at the pool. I read for a bit and chatted with my mom friends. Our pool stays open one weekend past Labor Day, so maybe we will get there one more time this weekend before it closes for the year.

September 5: Football

My mom got me this Chiefs flag, and I decided to put it out this week in honor of the Chiefs first game last night.

September 6: Smile

Hadley and I went to get froyo with good friends after her volleyball clinic on Wednesday. It’s always good to see them, and of course froyo makes me smile.

September 7: View

On Sunday, when I was out running errands, I stopped in Michael’s and saw this “Boo”sign. Of course, it’s for Halloween, but I snagged it for Hadley’s room. It’s kind of a running joke, but when I get annoyed about asking her to do something, she says, “boo”…but in a funny way.

I surprised her with this lit up in her room, and now it’s my view every night when I go in to tell her goodnight.

Hopefully, I can keep up with the photo challenge the rest of the month.

Favorite Outfit:

I shared recent outfits this week, but then wore this one yesterday. I got lots of compliments on it at school. It was a comfy but cute outfit for a Thursday at school.

Favorite Mom Meme:

This one applies, but I guess I have to give the kids credit…they did earn some money this summer…and they do go a few places on their bikes. haha

Bonus Fave: Flashback Friday:

Football season is back, and I always love this football memory before we headed to a UK game when the kids were little.

Weekly Recap:

Here are my posts from the week in case you missed one:

Not Just a Mom:

We have our monthly Not Just a Mom link up on Monday.

What are your weekend plans?

Of course, Hayden has cross country and there’s a home UK football game tomorrow. I’m not sure our plans, but we might be able to go.

I’m kind of itching to put out some fall decorations, but I will probably wait until next week.

I hope you have a great weekend.

Hello and happy Friday…and happy September 1st! The {-ber} months are here, and I’m ready for them.

Also…who is ready for a three day weekend?! {this girl!}

As always, I’m linking up with Andrea and Erika for this week’s Friday Favorites.

Here are some favorites from the week:

Last Saturday, Hayden (and Coach Travis!) had the first official cross country meet of the season. It was a pretty hot day, but Hayden ran a great race and placed 1st! The girls and boys team had a strong showing, considering many of the runners are in the sixth grade.

After the race, Travis and I hurried to get the kids home so that we could head to Nashville for a friend’s birthday.

We were a hot sweaty mess after the race, so we quickly showered, packed and got the kids where they needed to be before hitting the road.

It’s about a 3 1/2 hour drive to Nashville/Franklin, and once we got to our hotel, we had to quickly change to head to the party.

The party was at Stable Reserve not far from our hotel.

Two songwriters performed for about an hour. They have a total of nine number one country music songs…including Walker Hayes’ Fancy Like and a new that’s on the radio, Tucson Too Late which just now hit the radio.

It was really neat to hear them perform. Then there was a break in the music in another songwriter was there to sing for another hour long set.

We had a great time catching up with our friends including Lexington friends we don’t see often enough.

After the party, we made a pitstop at a wine bar before hanging out at the hotel lobby / bar just catching up.

We stayed at The Harpeth, and it was so nice.

Once we woke up Sunday morning, we headed home. I wish we had more time there, but we had to get back to the kids and get ready for the week.

Favorite Foods:

At our hotel, there was a little spot for breakfast. Travis and I picked up coffee to go and I saw these “grab the gold” bars. I’ve heard of them, but had never seen them in person. This was my snack for the car ride home, and it was really good. It reminded me of a no bake cookie.

On the drive home from Nashville, I placed my Kroger order and decided to make this Cheeseburger Biscuit recipe from Pinterest for dinner. It is definitely a family favorite now.

Hadley and I went to Trader Joe’s on Monday after school and the Salsa Verde tortilla chips were one of the samples. I had one chip and knew we needed to bring a bag home. Lol.

They are so good.

Favorite Mom Meme:

So tired by Friday…

Bonus Fave: Flashback Friday:

Here’s Hayden running in the same spot on the same course in both sixth grade and now in eighth grade. He looks both so similar and so different to me now.

Weekly Recap:

Here are my posts from the week which included a little bit of everything…memes, books, and musings!

What are your weekend plans? I’m so happy to not set an alarm for the next three days! The kids have plans with friends tonight, Hayden has a meet tomorrow, and maybe we’ll try to get some pool time in this weekend.

I hope you have a great weekend.

Hello and happy Friday!

TGIF! This week has felt extra busy which made it go by pretty quickly. I think this is our last really hot day for now, and I never thought I’d be so excited about low 80’s degree days, but that’s on our horizon.

As always, I’m linking up with Andrea and Erika for this week’s Friday Favorites.

Here are a few favorites from the week.

Favorite photo(s):

Our friend shared some of they professional photos from our fun evening a couple of weeks ago celebrating at Hadley’s friend’s bat mitzvah.

I loved this one…

…and this one with some of my favorite people

Favorite moment:

Seeing Hayden back on the race course this past weekend was fun.

…and I can’t wait to watch all the runners this season. Coach White and his crew kick off the cross country season this weekend.

Favorite food:

Quick and easy dinners were the way to go this week! I made this Cheesy Fajita Baked Chicken again, and it’s officially a family favorite. Like last time, I used peppers from our garden which was an added bonus.

Clothing item:

Did you catch my post on Wednesday? I’ve had lots of favorite outfits lately.

Favorite Amazon find:

I always wish I could burn a candle in my classroom, and I decided to try this Candle Warmer Lamp. I was sooo pleasantly surprised that it worked!

This week, I tested out a single wick candle as well as a three wick candle, and they both worked! The lamp helps warm the candle and it’s a subtle scent. You touch the shade, and it’s dimmable. There are three settings, and I’ve kept the light brightness on the second one. Anyway, I’ve looked forward to turning this on as soon as I get to my classroom every day this week.

Favorite Kid Quote:

Last Saturday evening, when we arrived at Hayden’s race, Travis and Hayden wanted to get out of the car in order to get his racing bib and get settled. So, they hopped out of the car, and I said to Hadley that they didn’t even say goodbye.

She said, “Cross country season…live, laugh, love.” 😆

Favorite Mom Meme:

This sure is the truth!

Bonus Fave: Flashback Friday

In honor of cross country season starting, I love this throw back to the kids’ 5th grade year when Hayden placed 1st and Hadley placed 4th at their end of season county race. Who knew we’d have so many races in our future?!

Hello and happy Friday!

How was your week? We had a good one. I’d say I feel like we are “surviving” rather than “thriving.” haha Nothing major…just getting in the back to school groove.

As always, I’m linking up with Erika and Andrea for this week’s Friday Favorites.

Here are some favorites from the week:

I feel like I have a lot of odds and ends to share. We sure packed in the fun before heading back to school.

Last Thursday, I went to dinner with friends. We went to Lost Palm which is a new rooftop bar in downtown Lexington. I’d been there one other time with Travis and some friends after dinner one night this summer.

Anyway, one of our friends was in town, so it was nice to meet up with everyone for a few drinks and some dinner.

On Friday, Hayden and his friends had fun at King’s Island. They were celebrating one of the boy’s birthday.

Saturday night, we went to Hadley’s friend’s bat mitzvah. Hadley has known her since Kindergarten, and we are friends with the parents as well.

The short ceremony and reception were at Kroger Field which was really cool.

The weather was gorgeous, and the facility is so pretty.

More fun with my “mom gang!”

All these sweet girls had the best time celebrating their friend.

There were tons of boys there too, but as you can imagine, they didn’t care to have their picture taken 😆

It was a fun night!

Hadley’s back playing volleyball, and she had fun at a clinic over the weekend.

On Tuesday, we had our “Back to School Brinner” before…

…the first day of school on Wednesday.

Overall, it was a great week.

Favorite Mom Meme:

Relatable!

I hope you have a great weekend.

As always, I’m linking up with Andrea and Erika for this week’s Friday Favorites.

Here are a few favorites:

The kids got to hang out with their uncle and cousin at a photo shoot for UK volleyball.

They had so much fun, and Hadley was excited to meet Azhani Tealer.

Travis and I have been in California since Wednesday, and it’s been so nice to have some down time before heading back to school.

He’s here for work, and I tagged along. I’ve had some beach time…

…and pool time.

The weather and views have been amazing.

Also…

Today’s a big day…it’s the 4th blogiversary of Show Me and Sweet Tea.

I don’t take for granted this community, and writing these blog posts is still my favorite hobby!

Hello and happy Friday!

*sigh* besides today, I only have one more Friday without school responsibilities…I guess I better savor these last few days while I can.

As always, I’m linking up with Andrea and Erika for this week’s Friday Favorites.

Here are some favorites from the week:

On Sunday, we picked up Hayden from running camp. He had the best time. This is a camp for high school runners, but he was able to go this summer along with a few other 8th graders.

Throughout the four days, he ran 45 miles including 10 miles on Saturday with the big kids. He texted us and said, “I did it!” I love that he was proud of his accomplishment.

They definitely did more than just run. They had guest speakers, sessions for stretching, theme nights, volleyball, swimming, and more.

Cousin Jacob was there, so I knew he’d be in good hands!

After picking Hayden up, we headed to Louisville to celebrate Trav’s mom’s birthday. Most of the grand-kids were there…

Hadley and I have still been baking at least once a month. This week, we made Chocolate Zucchini Cake. I think this is one of the first recipes I shared on the blog. We usually add a dollop of Cool Whip on each slice. I got the recipe from a childhood friend of mine.

The neighbors shared some flowers from their garden with us…so pretty!

This week, the kids have been in charge of watering that neighbor’s garden as well as checking on and feeding their cat. This has been a good summer of responsibility for the kids. Hadley has babysat quite a few times, Hayden has mowed some lawns (including ours), and then they’ve watered neighbors flowers and checked on pets. It’s been good for them to have to have a few responsibilities and nice that they can earn a little money.

What seems to be more rare than a unicorn sighting? Seeing a smiling teen boy out in public!? lol #welcometomyworld

I’m kind of struggling with the fact that my boy is looking like a man!?! He gets the best tan in the summer, has grown a few inches, and has the best smile (when he shows it 😉 )

I had pool time with the kids a couple of days this week which has been so nice. They mostly hang with their friends and ask me for money for a snack while I read…but I’ll take what I can get.

I started this book, and I’m really excited to read it.

This week, I started my 3rd phase of Invisalign. Phases 1 and 2 were 30 weeks each. At the end of a phase, they re-scan you, and then it’s about 5-6 weeks before you get your new aligners. So, I had an appointment, and it really is the little things that are favorites… For this phase, I don’t have attachments (or buttons?) on my front teeth! That’s a win for me. Obviously, I wear the aligners most of the time, but it’s nice not to have those on my front teeth for when they aren’t in. Yes, those attachments (mostly) blend in, but it’s still something I think about when the trays aren’t in.

I think at the end of the 30 weeks,I should be finished, but we’ll see.

Last night, I had dinner with a friend in a favorite spot in town. I ordered the steak salad, and it was delish.

It was so great seeing her and catching up. I wish we could see each other more often, but when we do get together, it’s like no time has passed.

Favorite Kid Quote:

We had kind of a hectic evening last night, so before we all went our separate ways, I said, “Let’s get our ducks in a row.” Hadley said, “I feel like my ducks are all over the place.” haha That definitely sounds like something I would say! I was like #samegirlsame

Favorite Mom Meme:

Every dang time…(I guess I should be happy they are bathing!)

Bonus Fave: Flashback Friday

This pic popped up in my Facebook memories from 2014…The kids with a couple of the horses on Trav’s farm.

Hello and happy Friday.

I can’t believe my summer Fridays are slipping away! I’m trying to make the most of what we have left of summer break.

As always, I’m linking up with Andrea and Erika for this week’s Friday Favorites.

Here are some favorites from the week:

This post will be pretty short and sweet because Hadley and I have been in one of our favorite places this week: Siesta Key, Florida. She brought a friend along too!

Here are a few of our favorite photos:

Monday night’s sunset was stunning.

We had a great time.

Siesta Key girl!

Living her best life…

A book at the beach is one of my favorite things.

As many times as we’ve been here, we’ve never been out on the water. I booked a two hour morning cruise yesterday, and we spotted dolphins …in front of Prince’s former beach house…peep the purple pool!

I was 4 for 4 catching the sunset which is my favorite thing to do.

And this was the view on the way back to the car last night. Stunning.

We had a great few days at the beach.

and…I think these girls have had lots of fun this week…Of course they’ve added a new sweatshirt to their collection 😆

While Hadley and I have been away, Hayden has been at running camp. Travis called me after he dropped him off and said that I shouldn’t expect much from him when we take him to college. Hayden was ready to roll and had no issues with saying goodbye 😆

I guess that’s what we want as parents, right? …for them to want to be independent and spread their wings.

Hadley has always been my more extroverted child while Hayden tends to be more introverted and a homebody. So while Hadley was always excited for camp, Hayden never really showed any interest until this year.

I’m happy he is going to camp on his own terms because then I don’t have to worry about him at all.

I can’t wait to see him though and hear all about it.

Friday Find:

On Instagram, I just recently found @matteicheldinger who is a middle school teacher. You must check him out if you don’t follow him already.

His student stories are funny, uplifting, inspirational. and he’s such a good story teller!

Flashback Friday:

Since we’ve been in Siesta Key this week, here are a few throwback photos…

A family photo in 2016…

This pic from the same 2016 trip is one of my favorites….

Every time we come to SK, Hadley wants to eat at the Lobster Pot.

Here she is in 2019 and 2023 😆

Weekly Recap:

I was a busy blogger this week. Also, thanks for all the love about Hadley’s hair tutorial…She appreciated the compliments.

Hello Monday

What are your weekend plans? Well, it’s back to reality for us. Once we get home, I will have to unpack and get a few things accomplished, both at home and at school.

This has been a fun week with Hadley, but I’ve missed the guys…

I hope you have a great weekend.

Hello and happy Friday!

How was your week? Ours was really good. It *finally* felt like a pretty normal week. We didn’t really set alarms, stayed up a bit later, Hadley had dance, Hayden had basketball, we had pool time and did a few other things too.

I’m linking up with Andrea and Erika for this week’s Friday Favorites.

Here are some favorite from the week:

Going all the way back to last Thursday…since Hadley wasn’t home for the 4th of July, we took a moment for sparkler fun. The sunset was so pretty too.

Friday was Trav’s birthday!

Friday night, we went out to eat with Trav’s brother and sister-in-law. If gnocchi is on the menu, I often order it!

We were pretty full after dinner, but Hadley convinced us to order dessert. Smiles for everyone.

When we got home, Travis opened his gifts. We just got him a running shirt, socks, and beer mugs because he loves a frosty beer! Overall, it was a really good night.

The next morning, Hadley left for the lake. I’m telling you, she doesn’t let the grass grow under her feet! haha.

She spent the day on the lake and overnight with her friend.

On Sunday, Travis had to work in the morning, but then his family came in town from Louisville, so we could celebrate him. My brother and his family also came over as well as a couple of Trav’s cousins who also live in Lexington.

We picked up fried chicken, and the rest of us made some sides. We had a few desserts including a Bundt cake for the birthday boy!

I also ordered cups from a local vendor…He really appreciated all this attention 😉

We got a quick photo before cake…

After everyone left, I got off my feet and relaxed on the back patio. The sunset was pretty, and the weather was great!

Speaking of the patio…

On the 4th of July, Travis and I went to Walmart to pick up a new couch for the patio.

We’ve had the same love seat for fifteen years…and Homer and #homered it when he was a puppy. This is the same couch we have in the sun room, and Travis noticed it was on sale. We figured we have loved that set for over three years, and it would be nice to have one more spot to sit with a couch vs a love seat.

So, the three piece set is $100 off, and we had to drive to a Walmart about 30 minutes away to pick it up. Hayden helped him assemble it, and we’ve been enjoying it ever since.

We have the cushions it came with , but we also picked these dark gray ones as well.

Hayden’s been playing basketball this summer like usual, but he’s missed a couple of games when he was out of town. So, that’s back on our agenda. It’s a laid back summer league, and fun to watch him play with different kids.

Wednesday night, we watched two episodes of the new Quarterback series on Netflix. Hadley even joined in on the fun! Of course, we’re excited that Mahomes is featured, but it’s interesting to learn about Cousins and Mariota too.

We’ve had some pool time this week. It makes me sad that pool days are already numbered. I’ve been able to go at least twice a week, but Hadley tends to go to the pool the most in our family. haha

Well, I didn’t mean for this to be the case, but lots of my “pampering” appointments lined up this week. On a whim Tuesday night, I decided to get a pedicure. It had been almost two months, so I was ready for a refresh.

I chose “Mexican City Move-mint” again because I like to choose one that I also have the color at home if I need a touch up.

I used my Mother’s Day gift card and had an hour long hot stone relaxation massage on Wednesday…and it was wonderful.

I probably end up getting two massages a year. While I will schedule my facials, hair appointments, and pedicures a few times a year, I usually only get a massage if it’s a gift…so I always appreciate those gift cards.

Then, I had my hair appointment yesterday, and it’s always nice to get fresh highlights and a trim.

Favorite Clothes:

I’ve been wearing this romper non-stop. It’s just easy to throw on with a tank and go.

I got this navy crepe set from SSYS, and I love it. I’ve worn it a few times and can’t wait to wear it more. (It comes in a few colors!)

Favorite Mom Meme:

We laughed when Hadley got off the camp bus wearing a new sweatshirt. She loves a sweatshirt all year long.

Weekly Recap:

I had a couple of posts this week including our monthly Not Just a Mom link up and tons of Amazon faves.
