Let's Look: February 2026

 Happy Wednesday! It's time for the February installment of Let's Look with Shay and Erika!

In January, we "looked" at THINGS WE OUTSOURCE WITHOUT REGRET.

Today, we are "looking" at.....

WAYS WE'VE TURNED INTO OUR PARENTS.

My mom is going to love this 😂.

#1 First and foremost...I want to come home from work, get in something comfy, and get in MY BED. I used to never understand how my mom could possibly get in bed so dang early. Well, here I am. 25 years old, in my bed at 7:30 on any given day of the week.

#2 I’m EARLY everywhere I go. Thanks mom! I’m actually glad that my mom always got me where I needed to be early. I think constant tardiness is just rude. I'm early to appointments, work, meetings, etc.

#3 “Because I said so” comes out of my mouth far too often. It’s not my favorite phrase, but jeez sometimes it's just necessary. I remember asking "but whyyyy?" and my mom's response being "because I said so." It feels like a right of passage now lol.

#4 I drink regular Coke. Ok, I am very much a Diet Coke lover, but I do drink regular Coke a lot more often than I used to. It's my mom's favorite!

#5 I don't mean to toot my own horn here, but I feel like I'm a good person. I have my mom to thank for that, once again. I say hello to strangers. I help people in the grocery store to reach something high up. I clean up after myself. I care about others. 

I can't wait to read everyone else's answers! Have a great Wednesday!

  1. This did make me chuckle and think of the ways I am turning into my parents. I always say Because I said so. It just need saying when kids always ask why, why, why!

  3. Well this just made my entire week especially #5. If you learned nothing else from me other than that and to love Jesus then my job was done! ❤️

  4. Love that your momma has such a kind heart and passed it right along to you! I'm the same way about bedtime, I am in bed around 7 pm usually each day, haha!

    Hope you have a wonderful rest of your week! :)

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...
