The View of a 30-Something Mom of two

Finally Friday

Can you believe that Tuesday will be November already? I have big plans for November since baby will be here first of December. I want the tree up by November 1st, and all presents wrapped at least by the 8th. We have our photographer taking some newborn pictures and I want the tree involved in them. What is your goal for the holidays? 

I confess that I am super excited to see one of my very good friends get married tonight. It’s going to be a beautiful night, and will be a wonderful wedding. I always love a wedding, and being pregnant makes me love it even more. 

I confess that we finally get to go to Disney since the hurricane that came through messed our little vacation up. I did not want to go at 34 weeks but I split up our day pretty nicely so we aren’t spending the entire day there. We are staying for fireworks which I am pretty excited about–since Bennett has never seen them. 

I confess that I have approximately 6 weeks left. 6–I would be lying to you if I wasn’t praying for 4 weeks. I am so excited to meet this little boy. My days consist of heartburn, exhaustion, and braxton hicks–so you know my excitement when I reach 38 weeks. 

I confess 2 weeks ago my sister did my hair, then the next week I had my hair blown out for some gorgeous pictures I took with a local photographer who was looking for a 30+ week model. Then today, I get my hair done again with my sister for the wedding tonight. It seriously is a wonderful feeling. 

I confess I sat down to go through my hospital bag–and it’s really non existent. I had 2 things in it? I guess this bag that I thought I had ready was a figment of my imagination. I do know what I’m packing but somehow it hadn’t made it into my bag yet

The sweetest mornings are spent with these three. The sweetest mornings are spent with these three. I love to do our together learning in the morning—which includes @masterbooks and @gospelproject_ devotion. My youngest even joins in for our morning breakfast devotion, and then reads and plays while we complete social studies and science. What’s your special moment each day?
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!
