The View of a 30-Something Mom of two

Finally Friday


This week was the longest, and I am so glad that it is finally the weekend. This week was super busy and it feels like Monday was a month ago. We have a lot going on this month, and this next week is jammed packed. Without further ado here are my confessions…

I confess that I tried searching like 20,000 consignment stores before just biting the bullet and buying Bennett new PJ’s from Carters. 

I buy a lot of Bennett’s clothes resell, and I don’t even care that I am admitting that. I don’t mind buying something nice brand new for pics or something, but buying a onesie brand new just can’t be justified usually. I do buy him stuff from the Gap when I see a great deal, I just bought him 4 new 18-24 month onesies that were only $4 each. Could not pass that up. 

I confess that in March I had a mole removed, and never received a call so I figured all was good. 

Well I received certified mail today saying they tried calling and they need to biopsy more of the area. Say WHAT?! I guess I forgot to change my number when it got changed last year. Keep me in your prayers this week when I get it biopsied. 

I confess that I am excited for our vacation in a few weeks. 

We will finally get to see our family in Ohio, who we haven’t seen since November. Bennett has changed a lot since then, so this will be a lot of fun for all of us! Any tips on flying with a 9 month old?


I confess I am pretty excited we have more company visiting. 

I love when people visiting, because I kinda like to be a tourist in my own backyard. Tomorrow we will venture out to Frenchy’s in Clearwater, and just enjoy some fresh air and sunshine. Frenchy’s is right on the beach, and I want to get there early to get a patio seat! 

I confess I will have a 9 month old this next week!

This past week was 38 weeks, and it just insane to me that I carried him for 38 weeks and he has been out for 38 weeks. Be looking for a 9 month update on Thursday!


I confess that I felt like a kid again seeing Beauty and the Beast at The Straz Center. 

My inlaws got my husband and I tickets to see the show for an early Mother’s Day gift. We were only 3 rows back, and I am pretty sure my eyes lit up like I was 5 years old again. Such a beautiful story!

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 went to school to be a teacher—but I’m kinda I went to school to be a teacher—but I’m kinda liking this mom gig. 💁🏼‍♀️ My baby turns 8 on Sunday and is having his birthday party this weekend. 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! 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.
