Finally Friday


I confess I am very happy when I dropped Bennett off and he was ready to say goodbye. It’s a great feeling knowing your son feels safe where he is, especially on the first day of school. It was a great day, and he had a blast. He sat for his full morning meeting, story time, and even sat in the big chairs for snack and lunch. I’m so excited about all he will learn this year! 


I confess I was very productive when he went to school yesterday. I started monthly photo books for him when he was born, and well it kinda looks like we didn’t have a child after 9 months. My goal while he is at school is to complete the photo books before the baby is born in December. I actually got 10, 11, and 12 months done. We’re moving somewhere!

I confess that my hips hurt at 23 weeks. I swear this baby is way lower than Bennett ever was, but hey if that’s the only thing that’s wrong I’ll go with it. 

(Look at that bump!)

I confess my boy turns 2 this weekend! We have a special weekend of bowling, birthday party, and a spaghetti dinner plan. I want to make this weekend so special for him–so here we go!

I confess I got maternity jeans from Gap for $.75. To be fair my mom picked them up for me when she was out one day. They just so happened to be  my size, and on super clearance at the only Gap in town. She picked me up a black pair as well which will be perfect for fall! If you are looking for jeans (although they won’t be this cheap) go to Gap!

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. 💙
I’ve got another after school snack recipe for y I’ve got another after school snack recipe for you! 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?

What supplements do you take? You’ve got all the What supplements do you take? You’ve got all the care routines down—but what about adding in your supplements? We’ve use @firstdaylife for the boys for a few months now, and I recently purchased the supplements for myself. I’m loving both of them! I take them each morning with my skin care routine—which helps prepare my body for a great day. 👏As a busy mom of three, I need to take care of myself as well and this is one way I do it! We start the homeschool year tomorrow, and I’m excited to get all of my daily routines in order and be prepared for the day!
