Ready for Summer

 Anyone else ready for summer?? Don't get me wrong, I love this time of year. Truly. But on January 45th, I'm a little burnt out on winter. I'm ready for warm, sunny days. So, here's my summer bucket list! (And just to be clear, I will have these exact same feelings come September when it's still 100 degrees outside- I will absolutely be ready for Christmas!)

Make more jam! I made freezer jam last year, and I'm so sad because it's all gone now. I know to make a lot more this summer! (I even made biscuits from scratch a couple times!)

Try again with the hydrangeas. I think we learned a few dos and don'ts and might have a better chance at making it this work this year. 

Enjoy the beach. I'm not a beach person at all. But I also love to go to the beach. But not actually ON the beach. Does that make sense? Probably not. And I get that. But this year on our beach trip, I want to actually try to enjoy the beach. But also still go shopping.........

Make this pasta salad and pimento cheese again. To me, this picture screams summer in Mississippi. 

Eat tomato sandwiches again. I learned last summer that I actually like tomato sandwiches! More of that this summer, please! 

Learn how to play golf. For real this time. I told Caleb last year that I wanted to learn, but I quickly gave up. 

Sit on our porch and make s'mores. Yeah, we have yet to do this. We really should! 

Farmer's Market! We have a local Saturday morning market, and I really want to go this year! We've just never made a point to go, and I really don't know why. 

I'm sure I'll come up with more things to do, but for now this is what's on my summer bucker list! Have a great Wednesday!

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...
