The View of a 30-Something Mom of two

confessions, finally friday · February 27, 2015

Finally Friday!

This week has been so long–wait do I say that every week? It really has been though. 

Monday–just wait til you hear about Monday, it actually is in my confessions! 

Tuesday–after lunch with my sister and BIL at Flipper’s Pizza, I came home to discover Bennett had a 102 temp. Went to doctor to find nothing wrong with my sweet boy, just a fever. 

Wednesday–I stayed home from subbing since my boy was sick. Visited the doctor again since his fever would go away then come back. 

Thursday– Why hello fever, I am not glad to see you AGAIN. Cancelled subbing and tutoring AGAIN. We even missed our first swim class because of this evil mysterious fever. 

Friday– Here’s to hoping that the fever will be gone! Yesterday it maxed out at 100.5, a whole degree less than the other days! 

1. I confess that on Monday, February 23rd, 2015 I successfully walked 10,000 steps

Well actually I walked more then 10,000 steps…I walked 12,391 steps. I would like to think the academy Stroller Strides, Target, my husband’s softball game, and my in-laws for living a half of a mile away. I’m starting to think that Monday’s will be the only day I hit this step count…OOPS.


2. I confess that I love my New Computer Monitor

So way back in 2011 I purchased my beloved Macbook Pro to complete the rest of my Bachelor’s degree. Fast Forward to 2015, the thing still runs pretty great! I have been begging my husband for a iMac…(these eyes are not so good and staring at something on a laptop just makes them work more), in which he replies “no.” So I kinda gave up on that request. Until I had an epiphany, and said I could just hook my computer up to a monitor. The monitor was $150, $100 credit to Office Depot=lots of money saved! 


3. I confess that I cleaned our room and FOUND my sweaty band!

If you haven’t done so yet, I have a page devoted to my favorite products…this is one of them! It actually got stuck to the bottom of some gloves, and living in Florida I hadn’t touched them probably this whole season. The second I found it I alerted everyone, no one even remembered I had lost it. 

OH–I also found the Nosefrida after I had already bought another, nice…right. 



4. I confess that I finally set up Bennett’s Dedication Day at our church. 

We were originally going to have him dedicated back in November, but all of our family wasn’t going to be in town. Fast forward January, and I realized we still had not accomplished this HUGE task! Now to find something for him to wear. I wanted this one romper from Janie and Jack (the one on the right), but it is no where to be found since it was last years style. Maybe one of you can find it at a consignment store near you in 9 months! The one on the left is the one they are selling now.
5. I confess that I want this fever to leave my HOUSE!

I am over this fever. No symptoms=mystery fever. He was basically tested for everything under the sun, so the dr is leaning towards Roseola. Now we wait and see if a rash appears after this fever is gone!

The sweetest mornings are spent with these three. The sweetest mornings are spent with these three.

He’s a sweet kid, who loves to be silly. He likes his alone time to play, but also loves when his brother plays with him. He surprises me daily with all the things he knows, and I’m so blessed we’re going on our third year of learning together. He loves his baby sister something big, and she puts up with his shenanigans. We all love to watch him play and grow in baseball, and watching his skills develop over the years has been fun! Happy birthday sweet Bennett! 🎂

I kept thinking about party favors, and after chatting with some friends about ideas—decided on this! I loved that I wouldn’t be handing out candy or other items that may end up just thrown away. Also, ice cream was always served with cake as a kid so what better way to get your ice cream later 😉
Bless all you kindergarten teachers. Or any of tho Bless all you kindergarten teachers. Or any of those who are telling your students to leave their shoes on and eat a snack (not a meal). Also, any other moms out there that their kid missed their siblings more than you? 🤦🏼‍♀️ oh well, he enjoyed it and his teacher is literally the sweetest thing! How is your first week going? Any case of the kids say the craziest thing? I love the first day of school, and it’s such a special moment to watch and see how each child takes the day and runs with it. 💙

We love making these apple donuts—they are fun for the kids to decorate—add frosting, peanut butter, sprinkles, the list goes on!
