My Wish- A Song for My Son

Sometimes there is a song you hear and it immediately hits home. My Wish by Rascall Flatts has been a favorite of mine for many many years. Last fall, when L was about 3 weeks old, the song came on one afternoon as he was napping on my chest. I can remember the day like it was yesterday. The windows were open, the breeze was gently coming through and the only sound to be heard was the radio playing. It was one of those moments you soak up and never want to end. Even though I had heard My Wish a hundred times before, it was different this time. Every word sunk in and it made me think of the ... read more

Mom on the go lunch

Ever since AG started school, I've been struggling to eat healthy lunches. L eats around noon and we have to leave shortly after to pick up AG from school. By the time he's fed, I have about 10 minutes to feed myself before loading him in the car to go get her. While I could easily grab a snack or something that isn't good for me, that isn't going to help me get off the last of this baby weight. So, when I had a chance to try Eat Smart's new salads made with plant-based protein, I jumped at it. The new chef inspired salads are full of six or more superfoods, everything you need for a well ... read more

Friday Rewind

Can you believe it's the last Friday of September? It seems like just yesterday I was waiting for the first day of the month so I could start decorating the house. Now, we are days away from the start of October, which is a pretty BIG day over here. It's a big day because this little one turns ONE on October 1st. I am sad as this is out last 1st birthday party we'll be throwing but I LOVE this age and watching my little man grow. So very bitter sweet. We'll be celebrating his golden birthday with family and friends with a first down football party next weekend. AG wasn't definitely into her ... read more

Happy Fall Printable Tag & Snack Mix

Happy first day of fall!  I've been waiting patiently for this day for far too long. Even though I've already decorated, enjoyed lots of pumpkin things and bought pumpkins, it's nice to have things official now. Hopefully Florida will start to cool down and we can start enjoying fall-like weather. I'm ready for the windows to be open, the cool breeze and to light all the new candles I picked up from the B&BW sale last weekend. Anyone with me? To celebrate the start of the season, I created a gift tag for you all to use. I used it on a batch of fall snack mix that I packaged up in a ... read more

Threenager

We're a month and a few days into three. In the past month, I've learned that the term THREENAGER is a real thing. If you haven't heard the term before, it's pretty much comparing a three year old to a 13 year old.  The I want it, when I want it's, the rules don't apply to me, the stubbornness and the sass, oh the sass! I knew these days were coming, I just thought I had about 10 more years to prepare myself. Let me first say that I really do love this age. I've always called AG my best friend but she's really turned into my little sidekick. We talk all day, she's full of questions (about ... read more

Friday Favorites

Hello Friday! I was up at 5:15 to work this morning and while I was making my coffee I heard some noise upstairs. The littlest didn't want me to get any work done and decided it was time to party at 5:30. So right now, it's 7:45 and he's already down for a nap. The biggest is dressed for school, her lunch is packed and Paw Patrol is playing in the background. I'm enjoying the PSL that hubs brought me home after he received a video of L's shenanigans when he was at the gym. Tonight we have L's 1 year pictures. I'm praying it doesn't rain. I'm also praying that I can find something for us all to ... read more

2015 Fall Bucket List

We may have another week until the official start of fall, but I've been "celebrating" fall since September first. Okay, I miiiiight have started decorating a few days before that. I'm one of those girls who gets giddy with the thought of fall. I look forward to everything it brings from pumpkin everything to cooler weather to outdoor festivals to scarves and boots. I love it all and always wish time would move a bit slower over these next few months. Every year, I frame the fall bucket list I made. It sits on our entryway table and we check things off as we go. This year, AG is more into it ... read more

Turkey Chili with Cornbread Waffles

I heard two words this past weekend that were music to my ears. Cold Front While that may only mean temperatures in the high 70, low 80's, I still did a happy dance. It's amazing what a difference a few degrees can make. My morning runs have been gorgeous and on Monday, there was barely any humidity. I drove with the windows down and even had the doors open for a bit. It was glorious, even if it only lasted a day. With the cooler weather, comes chili. In our house, I make it once a week. This week, it's on our menu for tomorrow and I can't wait for our entire house to smell like fall. ... read more
