The View of a 30-Something Mom of two

Finally Friday

I confess I love my new bathing suit I got from Target on Wednesday. 


This mama needed something to wear to Adventure Island, and found the perfect one-piece. Yes, you read that right. One-piece, I’m okay. Just feel a bit more like a mom. I tried on quite a few, and there was one I just had to have. I’m still looking around for another! 

I confess I put sunscreen on Bennett, but totally forgot to rub it on me. 


I made sure to put sunscreen on Bennett as soon as we got to Adventure Island, then I proceeded to eat lunch and feed him his lunch. Then we went and played, and by that time I had forgotten. Luckily we were only there for an hour and a half, but still I’m a little pink.

I confess I made my sweet boy lots of food this week. 


Bennett is enjoying his solids, and I have added some more food to his diet. This week I made a chicken casserole and added orzo pasta to his meals. He loves both and always finishes his meals with some yogurt! I also made kiwi, squash, zucchini, chicken, broccoli, pears, eggplant, and sweet potatoes. I think that is it. 

I confess that since I bought a new shirt last week, I have an itch to go shopping. 


I really don’t spend a lot of money on myself, but last weekend when we had his dedication I treated myself to a new top to wear with my Mud Pie Palazzo pants. It was from the Limited, and they were having a 40% off sale. Oh, and my mom bought me a dress from Ann Taylor Loft which was having a sale as well. It was really nice to get something new. 

I confess I got caught up this week on Bennett’s photo books and prints. 


I got Bennett’s 6 and 7 month books in the mail, now on to start making his 8th month book. My husband keeps reminding me that when we have another we have to do the same thing for that one as well. Here’s to hoping I do!

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

Today my sweet baby turns 8. He has taught my so m Today my sweet baby turns 8. He has taught my so much about being a mother, and I love watching him grow every year. 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 😉

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. 💙
