Friday Favorites

By
This week we spent a lot of time playing music. For Kenzie's birthday we got her a music set made by Melissa and Doug (I think I have mentioned before how much I LOVE their products) and we have spent quite a bit of time singing all the songs we usually sing in storytime while being accompanied by various instruments. The kid definitely has the rhythm in her.


I broke out my yoga ball this week. I have tried to spend at least 20 minutes or so a night sitting on it, doing hip circles and what not. I can't help it that I also seem to require ice cream while I do that...


I was able to work this past Saturday. I worked with a little girl that drew me a picture before she left. I seriously love what I do. I get to be a stay at home mom but still get to use all that schooling and work experience I have and work with some cute kids. This made my day. (And yes... my hair is purposely two different colors as I explained to her that I haven't dyed it in months. Also, my name is phonetic... good try!)


Kenzie loves to go to Publix. She not only gets a cookie but periodically she gets spoiled by the people that work there. One time she was given popcorn chicken because I explained to the lady that offered her a cookie that she had already had one. This week she got a balloon and was over the moon. She chose a "boo bawoon" and was so excited to get it home. She couldn't wait to show it to Daddy.


I can't wait to see how she transitions into a big sister. Kenzie loves to "kiss" and "hug" Will as much as possible. This week she even tickled him and laughed hysterically because she knows how much she loves to be tickled. It's moments like this that I would never change for the world.


What were your favorite moments of your week?

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...

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 ...

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 ...
