The View of a 30-Something Mom of two

Finally Friday


It’s my favorite time of the week–confession time! We have had a full week of fun visiting family in Ohio and now we are finally back home. I am excited to get some normalcy back into my life. I can’t be gone for that long, it just messes me up. Now that I am back in my humble abode I am a much happier camper. We got back just in time for Bennett to go to his Thursday class, and I relaxed unpacked all of our bags. I didn’t want to, but hey I couldn’t just sit there with them staring at me. 

I confess we had some gorgeous pictures taken when in Ohio. We actually were down near Cincinnati for the weekend and I looked up a photographer down there–change up the scenery as well as stay away from the evil which are called mosquitos. The lovely Lauren Day Photography took these two pics–we are in love. 

I confess I can’t believe I am 27 weeks pregnant today, 13 weeks left ya’ll. I can’t even with that. Luckily we aren’t doing much to the room since we are moving sometime next year–so that’s all finished. 

I confess I bought something that makes life easier…are you ready? A Braava iRobot mop. Best invention ever. I definitely ran both my Roomba and the Braava while I was doing the dishes, making cookies, giving a bath, and putting Bennett to bed. This was seriously the best money ever spent. 

I confess I saw somewhere the other day how many days until each holiday. Kinda got me all excited but at the same time nervous as our sweet bundle will be here by the very last holiday–Christmas. I am so excited to have a special present this year to celebrate with us. 

I confess I traveled alone with Bennett on the way home yesterday and he was seriously an angel. He was without a nap, and still just sat on the flight with his iPad, playdough, and snacks. I sat there reading my book–it was bliss. Pure bliss.

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! 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.
