Wellness Wednesday

 Hey loves. Happy Wednesday. Anyone else having a crazy week? I am thankful for some routines and habits helping me get through this week. Even though I haven't been 100% consistent, I am still feeling good with my progress.

Coffee Chat 5.20.25

 Hey loves.  I love taking the time and talking about random things that I would discuss with my girlfriend over coffee or wine or water like this morning. A totally random post. But I love reading others randomness too. Grab a coffee, tea, or wine and lets chat. 


Hello Monday 5.19.25

 Hey loves. Happy Monday. How was your weekend? We have another crazy busy week ahead but with colder wet weather. 

I am linking up with Sarah and Holly for Hello Monday. Let's see what we did this weekend. 

Meal Planning Monday Week 198

 Hey loves. Happy Monday. How was your weekend? Last week was gorgeous in the 70s and 80s, this past weekend it changed back to cooler temps. The week ahead is only in the 50 and 60s with some nights in the 40s. That changes up our meal plan for the week ahead. Does your meal plan change with the weather too? We are also have some busy nights with sports.




Let's meal plan for this week.

Friday Favorites- 5.16.25

 Hey loves. Happy Friday. Life got even crazier this week with baseball games starting. One day Anna and Austin had games at the same time and Brian is the coach for both, oh the fun of trying to be in multiple places at the same time (Even though it didn't work out that way that was the original plan). Next week I have a day where I need to be 4 places at the same time, which is going to be fun. Welcome to Maycember. How was your week? 



Time for some Friday Favorites with these lovely ladies: Erika, and Andrea.

Kids Summer Must Haves

 Hey loves. We are counting down the days until summer break. It will be here before we know it. We go until the second week of June so we are late compared to a lot of schools. I have started planning all the things, from busy books to schedules, activities, items we need to stock up on and more. This will be our first summer with me working out of the house (and at home). Keeping my kids entertained is going to be essential for sanity and productivity. (and I don't mean just giving them electronics all day everyday).

Let's Look- Current Wellness Routine

 Hey loves. Happy Wednesday. It's a double post day. Linking up with Hodge Podge  too.

I am linking up today with Erika and Shay for this month's Let Look

I am linking up with Sarah and Holly for Hello Monday. Let's see what we did this weekend.

Meal Planning Monday Week 197

 Hey loves. Happy Monday. How was your weekend?


Friday Favorites

 Hey loves. It's Friday. It's a busy weekend. We have music ala mode which is the district wide music fundraiser all day Saturday. This year Ella is only in one performance (last year was 2). Sunday is Mother's day which we are hosting again this year. Do you know what that means, I have been cleaning the house in preparation for it. I remember seeing a reel a few years ago that was something about its Mother's Day sure I may not have to do anything "today" but I did extra to prep and after to make up for not doing anything the day of. That sounds about right. Do you feel the same way?

May Intentions 2025

 Hey loves. Anyone else feel like May snuck up on them? April went by quick with so much happening from Spring Break to Easter to solo parenting and more. We are now counting down the days until school is out (we go later than a lot of other schools) and vacation at the end of July. It is official Maycember with all the crazy schedules. From sports, to end of the year celebrations, field trips, Mother's Day, and so much more. There is something on the schedule most days between now and he middle of June. I don't want to look any further with a busy summer ahead too. 

Let's recap my goals from April and set new ones for May. With May being an already crazy month I am not setting as many goals. I also know that I have not been hitting my goals each month like I use to with working two jobs. It is time to slow down and re-evaluate. 

Currently

 Hey loves. It's already May. This year is going crazy fast and so much is going on. It is a love and hate relationship with everything right now. Still trying to find the calm and new routines and all the things, then I get smacked in the face with something else being thrown at me. Anyone else feel the same way this year? 

I am linking up with Jenn over at Overflowing with Thankfulness on the first Wednesday of every month for Currently. 

Mother's Day Gift Ideas

 Hey loves. I am a little late on this because time is flying. It is hard to believe that Mother's Day is this weekend. Amazon to the rescue when you don't have time to run to the store and find the perfect gift for mom.

Meal Planning Monday 196

 Hey loves. Happy Monday and Cinco de Mayo. We celebrated Cinco de Mayo yesterday with our neighbors and delicious tacos, chips, quac, queso, and margaritas. Any reason to have tacos is a win in my book. 


Let's meal plan for this week.

Friday Favorites

 Hey loves. It's Friday. I am excited for the weekend. Lots of family time, some sports, church, and lots of tacos. It has been an eventful week some good and some bad, I am looking for some relaxation this weekend too.

Castaway Bay Day 2

 Hey loves. Last week we surprised our kids with a one night stay at Castaway Bay. It is an indoor waterpark and hotel that is owned by Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio. This was our first time doing a water park with our kids who are 5, 9, and 13. With their height and age differences it can be a struggle to keep them all happy and safe. Yesterday I shared day 1 of our overnight. Let's dive into day 2
