Life Lately.

 Happy Thursday! It's been a long time since I have shared a "Life Lately" post, yet they are always my favorite!

Caleb and I just celebrated TEN years since we started dating. It's crazy how quickly time flies. The older I get, the more I understand the quote "The days are long but the years are short." So. Dang. TRUE.

Well, I bought a Christmas pillow this past weekend. Never too early, right??

I also bought these cute boxes. Bring on all the holiday fun!!!

But, since it's fall...I made Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies (from Jessie James Decker's Just Feed Me cookbook!). These are more cakey and almost taste like a little muffin top.

Last night, I made this Cashew Chicken that was DELISH. I got the recipe from Calley Brady on Tik Tok, but this is the recipe she used. I did not put in water chestnuts. Next time, I'll definitely do low sodium broth and soy sauce. I am not very confident when it comes to cooking chicken, so I am dang proud of this- ha! 

We finished watching The Office, and we don't know what we want to watch next. So, last night we watched Vacation. It's hilarious, but it has some pretty intense, graphic scenes.

I know this is probably getting very old, but this is just the music I have been listening to lately! Sabrina's new album is SO good. Yesterday, I shared my Fall Playlist if you want to check that out.

Slow mornings have been my new normal lately, and I am LOVING it. I'm very grateful that, at least for this season of life, I am able to do this. I feel most productive in the afternoon, so it's nice to have a slow morning and stay in my pjs a little bit longer! Whether I'm doing my school or not, it's still nice to be comfy!

A couple weekends ago, we spent the day in Birmingham with my sister and her boyfriend. Always so fun!

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 😂. 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.... 😂😂😂 "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...
