The View of a 30-Something Mom of two

Finally Friday!

(My mom and sister before the ceremony)

My sister graduated 8th grade last night. It was a really nice ceremony, and was really neat to see how many students had been there since they were babies. I can’t believe she is on to high school next year. That’s crazy and amazing. She will be attending a local private christian school. We are excited to see where she goes from here!

(Playing at the play place at Akron airport) 

I am so excited to be back to normalcy since we have been back from vacation! It’s always nice to get away, but even nicer to get back. I actually had left early since my husband was going to be out of town, and coming straight to Ohio from Georgia…so it was kind of silly for me to sit around and wait til the next week. We had a blast, more on packing tips for the little ones coming up. I can really say, we did not forget anything and didn’t have to make any unforseen trips to Target.

The family we stay with are have a beautiful home that is always clean, I now aspire to be like that–haha. But for real, I came home the next day and cleaned the entire house, and I have stuck with it ya’ll and it’s Friday. I’m actually pretty excited about that…Now to unpack the suitcases. Don’t judge. 


We have a cute little bear crawler. While on vacation Bennett decided he would begin to crawl. He started going backwards the first few days, but quickly figured out that he has to go forwards to get to the toys he wants to get to. It’s incredibly cute.


To go with him bear crawling he has finally–took a while–figured out that he can sit up in his crib. The other day I thought he had fallen asleep and he was just crawling back and forth in his crib and playing like crazy. I guess it’s time to lower all the way, and mount the camera.

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 😉
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!
