The View of a 30-Something Mom of two

confessions, finally friday · June 3, 2016

Finally Friday!

I know I’ve said before—but I love Fridays! I love spending the weekend as a family and just relaxing. It seems like we are always on the go during the week, which is fine because I’m not one to stay cooped up in the house. This was our first week off of school and I’m remembering what it’s like to be a stay at home mom again. 

It’s hot ya’ll. Summer is officially here and although I’m only 13 weeks pregnant–I feel 200 times hotter then any given day. We’ve been living in the pool, splash pads, and Adventure Island. Thank the good Lord in heaven I have a fish as a son because if not we’d be cooped up in side all summer. Oh–and I’m all about the aquarium. Indoors where its cool, shaded splash pad, and lunch on the water. Win, win, winning! 

So I’m not lazy–just running out of ideas. This is where Plated. comes in. You know when you’re scrolling on FB and all these ads just capture you in and you end up getting something…that’s Plated. Except I did my research, because I really wanted food that I would actually eat. I had tried another company before and wasn’t a fan of really anything they sent. Plated. kinda sounds delicious, plus you can choose your own meals! We are sticking to the 2 a week with a dessert. Because this mama loves dessert with her meal. 

I love summer because it’s always been a time of beachin’, vacations, amusement parks–this summer is definitely not falling short of that. We have a fun trip planned in a few weeks to St. Augustine with my mom and siblings. Once I finish the laundry from that trip Sometime after we return, we are heading on a road trip to Jacksonville to see my cousins and their sweet babes. Then it’s off to Sesame Place where we will spend a few days, then back down to Florida with a pit stop at St. Simon’s island! A few weeks later we will be heading to Anna Maria where we will spend more time with my mom and sibs and have some updated family pics at one of our favorite vacation spots. 

13 weeks today. 
Which means 13 days until we find out if it’s a boy or a girl? 
Delish
Before our Adventure Island excursion today I asked a friend to meet me at the park for some playtime. But before that even happened I decided I needed donuts in my life for donut day. Like you need an excuse for donuts. So this mama drove to Publix got a half dozen and some chocolate milk and happily ate one while my son splashed in all the puddles at the park.


What was your favorite part of this week? Any fun plans this summer?

We visited @babyscene1 again yesterday and loved s We visited @babyscene1 again yesterday and loved seeing baby girl on the big screen! 💓This is our second time visiting them, and they love showing you every inch of your baby. This time my mom and father in law joined and were able to experience a sonogram with us. It’s amazing all the things you can see on a 3D/4D sonogram including her sucking on the umbilical cord, each little finger, her foot on top of her head, and so much more. I highly recommend visiting @babyscene1  with your family.

Homeschooling—it’s something I have truly fall Homeschooling—it’s something I have truly fallen in love with. It allows me the best of both worlds—teaching and being home with my kids. Homeschooling allows these two to become the best of friends. It allows me to really take what we’re learning and put it into our world of play. Imaginative play is so amazing at this young age and they learn so much by just playing. Yesterday, after learning about parallel, perpendicular, and intersecting lines—I took the boys outside to find lines outside. They ended up making a “fire” using sticks that they found, and creating lines out of them. 🔥 If you are hesitant on homeschooling please ask me! I’d love to answer any questions!
