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!

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 😉

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!
