Friday Favorites

By
This has been a fun and eventful week. Since I plan a post about our mini trip to Palm Beach, I will attempt to narrow down just a few "Friday Favorites" for this post.


Saturday Snuggles. Saturday morning's are usually one of the few times our house is in a calm state. Kenzie doesn't last too long in that "state" so we like to get a few snuggles in before she is off and running. Saturday mornings we get her out of bed, go potty, get her dressed, and bring her in to our bed to try to convince her to snuggle with us for just a few minutes (sometimes just a few seconds). Daddy is always the #1 snuggler. I get put on the back burner for a few minutes while those two enjoy each other's company. I sometimes manage to get a second or two of snuggle time in though. It is definitely the best part of my week.


Pretty toesies! I don't get pedicures often. As a matter of a fact, my last one was right about a year ago. I couldn't resist the invite though when my friend asked if I was up for it this past weekend. Of course I was! I can't reach my feet anymore. I attempted to remove my nail polish earlier last week... but that was a fail and I ended up with a ton of left over polish on each nail because I just couldn't make it happen. I figured I should go blue for Will this time since I usually pick a bright pink if I get a pedicure in the summer. This picture was taken on the balcony of the hotel we stayed at for a night in Palm Beach.



She was not happy I made her put the Reese's cups in the
thing instead of eating them... 
Our finished, pre-baked product
 Baking with this little girl. This is the first time we have tried it... and she LOVED it. She stood up on a stool and helped me stir Daddy's surprise peanut butter blondie thingy. She even ate a few of the candies that were supposed to go in it. Crazy kid.


Whatever this is. Kenzie is a bit obsessed with wearing my fuzzy socks and my shoes if she can find them. We are lucky the shoes match. The socks never do. This is typical Kenzie. Being a nutty kid and "cheesing" like crazy.

picture of us!
Making new memories. We visited Loggerhead Marinelife Center when we went to Palm Beach. Kenzie loved seeing all the turtles. More about that to come in the post about our quick night away (and a recap of Kenzie's first time staying overnight in a hotel... believe it or not.)

Young Summer of Fun - Bucket List Update (Week 12)

By
Honestly, I debated doing a weekly update for this week because we didn't actually check anything off the summer bucket list... but decided to go ahead and do it because we did do some fun stuff. Plus, there are only two more weeks of this (including this one) so anyone that is actually interested can read it if they want. =) This week was fairly low key. Steven was dealing with his shingles diagnosis so we didn't do anything too crazy because the main reason he likely came down with it was because he is so run down and stressed out. Kenzie had school all week. Well, except Monday but on Monday's, we dance. She did great at dance by the way! She goes to dance each week and then spends the next 6 days asking us if she has dance. We made her a calendar for the fridge that lists her activities and dance is on it. We cross off each day so she can count down to dance. Doesn't matter. She still asks. Wishful thinking, I guess. And she is still rocking school. She is doing...

13 Weeks to 13 Miles! OUC Orlando Half Marathon Training: Week 7

By
This is it. This is officially the middle week of the 13 weeks to 13 miles training plan. It's the odd man out week. It is also the week after our rest week and the week that things really start to pick up speed. We have mostly done overall low mileage weeks up until this point topping out at 13 miles which is overall less than the half marathon... by a measly .1 mile but that mileage was all divvied up over 3 runs so it's definitely not the same. Now we start ramping up and we don't slow down until the week before the race when we essentially taper. This week is an overall 15 miles and by the end, we will top out at 22 weekly miles. Eek. We can do it! I know we can. I hope. Haha! Tuesday Plan: 4 Miles, Actual: 4 Miles Whew! Another run in the books. This one was probably one of the worst ones so far. Not because I didn't run okay. I was actually fine for most of the run. I kept my 1:1 intervals and paced about 13:30 without too many outliers as far as timing goes. ...

Spending Time At The Family Dinner Table

By
I set a few new goals for this school year. I have big plans. Always. Haha! Anyway, my goal has been to try to add one new recipe per week to our rotation of meals as well as use our slow cooker once a week. So far, we have been doing pretty well and so far, we have enjoyed all of our new meals. We did have a week of set back so far when we had no power after Hurricane Irma so that we didn't make any new meals or anything. The current week was another difficult week as we had to spend money restocking some essentials in our kitchen that we lost due to the power outage so we had to hold off on anything new this week, as well. The main goal of all of this has been to add new recipes but also make sure that we are spending time at the dinner table as a family. This is something we have tried to do since our kids have been old enough to understand eating dinner as a family. BC (Before Children) and even when Kenzie was small, we ate in the living room while watching TV a lot, but as ...
