The View of a 30-Something Mom of two

Finally Friday

1. I confess that I am exhausted. 

How is it that Bennett slept through the night last night, and I am more tired now then I am when I wake up twice with him. The science behind this is confusing as all get out. I love spending time with my boy, but nap time and bedtime are such a relaxing time. Especially bedtime. That’s the time my hubby comes home and he has Bennett/dada time. While I sit and stare off into space and play with them. 


2. I confess I am pretty excited about Bennett’s first trip to the zoo. 

My cousins are in town this week and they invited us to go to the zoo with them on Saturday. We are so excited to be joining them, and I am even more excited that it’s Bennett’s first time. We studied all the animals this week in all of his zoo animal books. I think he’s ready! 


3. I confess that my boy is getting a little too long for his 9 Month clothes. 

I noticed it the other day when I was putting his diaper on that I had to stretch his onesie a little in order for it to snap. I didn’t think too much of it, until I was looking at the size charts and realized that his length is in the 12M clothes but his weight is in the 9M clothes. I think we are going to have to pull some things here and there from our 12M pile. Sidenote: one of my friends asked me about Bennett’s feet, well I guess I still saw them as newborn feet because when I took a picture of his foot in his pjs there was cleary a toe sticking out. 


4. I confess that I can’t believe how Bennett learned to pull himself up overnight over nap. 

I got home early from subbing the other day, and decided I would teach Bennett a new trick. We started out in the chair to standing, then progressed to bottom on the floor with boost to standing, then just bottom on the floor. By that night he was pulling himself up in seconds. Today, he surprised us by climbing out of his chair. He kind of looked like he was heading face first but he put his arms down and moved them forward in order to bear crawl his way out. 


5. I confess that I found this great new treat at Chick Fil A. 

On the way home from swim class, I stopped at Chick Fil A to get some lunch to take home. I decided on a frozen lemonade instead of a drink. My choice was a great one. It was so delicious! If you like creamsicles, you will love this!

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! Kroger now has an amazing new membership that offers FREE next day grocery delivery. They are also giving 2X the fuel points for every dollar spent* on groceries. All of this and much more for $59/Year! We love getting our groceries from Kroger as it saves so much time and money, in more places then just the grocery store.
How are you celebrating National Book Lovers Day? How are you celebrating National Book Lovers Day? Picking books out at the library each week is my favorite part of the week when homeschooling my boys! We go through a list of books that our just right for their reading level, and put them on hold at the library. When they are ready we drive thru and pick them up. The best part? We can look at all the books we read at the end of the school year, and use that as part of our portfolio. Do you utilize your library? How do you pick out your books?
