Friday Favorites

By
I thought it might be fun to start a new weekly blog post recapping some of my/our favorite things or events from the prior week. Why not? I give you... the first installation of Friday Favorites!


I know I have posted a picture of this on Facebook already because it was finished about 2 weeks ago... but I get so excited every time I walk by it. This is Kenzie's Lemonade Stand that I made to use as a centerpiece for her 2nd birthday party. I cheated and used a model that I found on Pinterest but I'm still so proud of myself. I also made that adorable pinwheel and there are plenty more of them that will make an appearance when I do her birthday decorations post.


 7-11's Free Slurpee Day! I am seriously obsessed with coke Slurpees. I have been for years. It tends to be something I crave even more when pregnant. I try to not indulge too often because of the caffeine but they are so good. This year, I even let Kenzie get in on the action. (Okay, so last year and the year before she inadvertently got in on the action... she was still breastfeeding last year and the year before I was pregnant.) She had half of a watermelon flavored Slurpee. The lady serving them wouldn't let me out of there without getting Kenzie one. The kid LOVED it. She is definitely my child. I wouldn't let her drink it in the car on the way home. That thing was red, after all and she freaked out the whole way home until she was given her Slurpee back. Who wouldn't love July 11th?


This salad is seriously amazing. I can never remember the same of it. Something like 1893 Salad or something at Buca. I was craving this thing. No worries... I didn't eat the pepperoni or salami and the feta is definitely pasteurized. Not that once would likely be an issue... 


This. Seriously. This is one of the coolest and best inventions ever. I know you can do the same thing with a soap bottle. I've seen that post on Facebook too, but I never buy soap bottles that the size would be appropriate, it seems. So, I just bought one. Kenzie LOVES this thing. She is obsessed with washing her hands. Now that we have an officially potty trained (daytime at least) toddler, it is a miraculous invention. . Lifting her up to be able to wash her hands was getting to be way too taxing for me though and Will is definitely starting to get in the way of a lot of things like that. So, without further ado... a faucet extender! Best $8 I ever spent and it actually came with a second extender that we will hold on to in case this one breaks. (It was actually $10 but I had a 20% off coupon for Buy Buy Baby.) Our kids is absolutely obsessed with washing her hands... I may create a (very sanitary) monster with this thing



These two goofballs. This week we celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary and we finally got around to making it out for an anniversary dinner at Buca. Couldn't leave Kenzie behind. "Getti" is just about her favorite food. These two people are my everything. I can't imagine a day without them.

Eight is Great!

By
Today Kenzie is EIGHT! It's so crazy. We have an 8 year old. Only two years away from double digits. A third grader. A girl that is quickly becoming a preteen. There is only a year left (technically) until that is officially the stage we are in. Though I have to say... she acts more and more like an actual preteen every day of her life. She's too much. We often joke that she is 8 going on 28, but in all honesty, she is an old soul and often acts much older than her years. At 8-years-old, Kenzie... - Is still the friendliest kid I know. She loves with her whole heart. She hates to hurt anyone's feelings. The downside is that her feelings get hit hard when someone isn't nice to her. We have had to deal with that on occasion, especially in the last year when we had a run in with a girl that Kenzie thought was her friend but she ended up being not really nice to Kenzie in the long run. We learned as parents that the "mean girl" stage starts early. Kenzie...

Young Summer of Fun - Bucket List Update (Week 11)

By
It's the final countdown! We officially have about 2 weeks left until the end of "summer" and therefore the end of our bucket list. We managed to check something off the list this week. We have just a couple left. There are two things that I do not believe we will be able to do, but I think getting everything but two things done is pretty awesome. We also added on quite a few fun things that I didn't actually add to the list and still have a few more fun things planned over the next 2 weeks. We will see how it all goes. Anyway, this week has been fun. Tiring. But fun. This was Kenzie's first week of VPK. And let me tell you... she rocked it. She is LOVING it. I know we are only 1 week in but I am still so glad to see her loving school again and doing so well already. I'm not going to recap her first day or most of her first week, but if you are interested, you can check out the post HERE . She did decide to try to wear every one of her new outfits this week....

Friday Favorites: Summer Bucket List Edition

By
This week's Friday Favorite isn't a product we love but rather our long anticipated (in our family) Summer Bucket List. This is something we have been doing for about 3 years running now. We sometimes keep a running bucket list of sorts for fall and spring too. We also always have an advent calendar of activities for the month of December. I think the summer list is my favorite though. Summer is a favorite season around this house. It means pool time, beach time, and a lot of other fun things that happen like Vacation Bible School and swimming lessons. This year we have a few new things and some oldie but goodies. Technically we have quite a bit of time until summer officially begins, but we are so excited for summer that we decided to make the list now. We also decide to start summer post Memorial Day so our activities will begin in about 6 weeks. We are super excited to have a few new things this year as well as keeping a couple of things that we didn't get around to ...
