Hello Monday {11.4.24}

Happy Monday, friends! I had a super festive and fun weekend, and I am linking up with Holly and Sarah for Hello Monday to share all about it!

Friday morning started with me taking down all the fall/Halloween decor to make way for Christmas!! I listened to my fave Christmas song to get in the spirit even more so than I already was!

I made a ricotta mixture for our delicious dinner.

I didn't take any pictures, but I met Caleb and his dad, brother, and grandfather for lunch at our favorite Starkville spot- The Grill.


Lasagna soup for dinner! Definitely one of my very favorites!!

Caleb indulged me in watching a Christmas movie while we ate and decorated. We watched Christmas with the Kranks! No matter how many times I watch it, it does not get old. I love it!

Super festive Saturday morning coffee. YUM. My mom, step-dad, and Mimi got to our house around 1 am! 

Our Saturday appetizer before we ordered Papa Johns. I am now adding basil and salt and vinegar chips to all of my cheese boards from now until forever. So good!

Afternoon coffee and football- a favorite!

We did a little shopping at Marshall's and Aldi. I bought entirely too much, but everything was basically a "necessity" 😉. I mean, it was mostly all wrapping essentials for the holiday season, so I say necessity!

And we found ourselves back at The Grill. See...a favorite!

Loaded queso to start. It was really good!

I got blackened catfish. It had some sort of cajun sauce and had jalapeño cheddar grits underneath. YUM.

GLUTEN FREE peach and white chocolate bread pudding. My mom is GF due to an allergy, so this was a must, and it was fabulous!

Wine by tree light after dinner!

Another festive coffee on Sunday morning. This time with Aldi's almond milk peppermint mocha creamer. SO good!! And then we went back to Marshall's- ha!

And then it was back on school work with a glass of wine. Such fun!

Have a happy Monday!

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...
