Life Lately {October 2023}

 It's been a loooong time since I did a "Life Lately" post, so here's a whole lot of randomness for your Thursday! 

We are ready for fall/halloween over here, but I've already made plans for putting up the Christmas decor ON halloween! My sister is coming over and we're going to have appetizers and watch one of our favorite Christmas movies- Good Luck Charlie: It's Christmas! I can't wait! 

We've been eating all the pumpkin things. 

It's finally been cool enough to have soup for dinner! Except sometimes you try a new recipe and it tastes awful, sooooo

You have popcorn for dinner in your Eras Tour movie bucket! 

Visits with mom and Lib are always good for the soul! Whether we're out and about.......

or at home in comfy clothes! 

This sweet boy is getting so big! He's in Pre-K now, and I feel like every time I see him he has grown up a little more. His little personality is so fun at four years old! 

I mean....he doesn't get told no very often πŸ˜‚. How could you ever deny that sweet face anything?? My mom took this picture of him and he told her he wished they could just walk in the cotton all day long πŸ’™.

I started this new daily devotional, and I'm loving it! I have followed Lisa Harper for so many years, thanks to my Mimi telling me about her! 

I'm halfway through my first semester back in school, and as of now all is well! For the most part, I'm enjoying my classes! It's weird being back in school, but I like it. Also, I've been hooked on an afternoon iced coffee while I do my schoolwork, and a pumpkin cup makes it even sweeter! 

About a month ago, I shared that I was back to doing gel nail polish. Well. I've now determined that I'm ALLERGIC to it. UGH! So, I'm back to regular manis for now. I want to try dip powder eventually, but I'm too scared to try it right now. Honestly though, I like doing my own nails, and I like to change up the color too often for a long lasting manicure like dip or gel. 

Well, that's what life has looked like lately. Have a great Thursday!

Let's Look: January 2026

 Happy Wednesday!! Let's Look is one of my very favorite blog link ups and after not doing it last year, I am ready for it in 2026! I am linking up with Shay and Erika for this monthly series! Today, we are LOOKING at..... THINGS WE OUTSOURCE WITHOUT REGRET. Ok, there are so many things you can outsource that I just would rather do myself. I love to grocery shop. I think I would be weirded out by someone else doing my laundry. A house keeper is just not something we currently need or really want. BUT, there are occasions when outsourcing is just what needs to be done. Grocery Delivery/Pickup We don't do this often, but when we do it's pretty nice. That being said, I am usually ready to get back in the grocery store myself! Food Delivery This is another one we do not do often, but a Wednesday free delivery from Wingstop has sucked me in a few times πŸ˜‚. And of course, pizza delivery is always nice! Plus, we can get food delivered to the school I work out, so that's nice e...

Friday Favorites {4.2.26}

 Happy THURSDAY. My days are getting so mixed up with a Friday holiday haha! Posting Friday Faves a day early since tomorrow is Good Friday. Whoop whoop! We're getting a 7Brew!! I'm gonna let the new wear off before I go, but dang I am so excited for this! Have y'all tried it?? My sister gave me this MacKenzie Child's cookie jar for my bday and I love!! I made some white chocolate, peanut, and M&M clusters and they looked so cute in it! I will try just about anything once haha, but I finally jumped on the Tik Tok bandwagon and grabbed this facial brush for lymphatic drainage. My mind could very easily be playing tricks on me, but I'm gonna say I see a difference! Got mind from Amazon! And I cannot close out this post without mentioning Autism Awareness and Acceptance Month! Please, please, please educate yourself on what it means to have Autism, how to explain it to your children, how to advocate, how to include, how to help- all the things!! Please remember, if...

Friday Favorites {12.19.25}

 And just like that.....it's CHRISTMAS BREAK! And my last post of 2025! But before all of that, let's get into some faves from my week! Linking up with Erika and Andrea. Some Christmas funnies for ya.... πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ "Underground Spirit Week" We dress up or do something silly and the students have no idea, so it's constant confusion and laughter! So fun! Monday- PJ day. Tuesday-  Anything but a bag. Wednesday- Favorite Christmas song or movie character. Oh Christmas Tree, Rocking Around the Christmas Tree, or as one student said...the Rockefeller Christmas Tree! Thursday- Christmas tree topper meets hat. This one did not last long in my hair...hahahah! Today is another PJ day for "Kinderland"! My name is Maddie, and I am obsessed with good smelling laundry.... These both smell AMAZING. The Wicked one smells exactly like the perfume I have been wearing- Jo Malone English Pear and Sweet Pea. Makes me sad that it's limited edition... I was looking for some go...
