Weekend Happies

Happy Monday, friends! This weekend there were several little "glimmers" that brought a smile to my face and so I thought I'd share!

1) Cheer Camp Ranch Party and this sunset!

Friday Favorites

Happy Friday, friends! Erika and I are so excited that lots of y'all are linking up with us every week.  Make sure that you're grabbing our graphic, linking back to us and sharing your own Friday Favorites post ;)

Week one of summer is in the books and it was a great one although I don't have a ton of pics to show for it ;) 

All three kids went to church camp and had an absolute blast.  This was a FAVORITE for all of them and these pics hands down were my FAVE...

Broccoli Salad

 Today I'm re-sharing a super simple but DELICIOUS broccoli salad recipe.  I made this last night to serve alongside burgers and while it's not REALLY a salad it's the absolute best and the leftovers are to die for so make sure you add it to your radar this summer!

What's. Up Wednesday

      Today I'm linking up with  Shay and  Sheaffer to talk a little bit about what's been going on around here!

BREAKFAST!!! During the school-year I rarely eat breakfast - but in the summer it's one of my very favorite little luxuries.  

Reading Recap

Now that summer is here I'm hoping to update y'all A LOT more frequently on what I'm reading.  

I listened to The House In The Cerulean Sea last week and I can't stop thinking about it.  It felt unique and special and listening to it on audible was a delight.  The characters were endearing and the whole concept was unlike anything I've read before.

It wasn't my intention to "go dark" yesterday but life was LIFING and with yesterday being the last day of school I had some stuff to get under control ;). All that to say - today is OFFICIALLY my last day (yesterday was our last day with kids - today I just have meetings) and then I will be in full-on sloth mode.  PRAISE THE LORD!!!

First up on my list of faves for the week is this pic that shows up this week in my facebook memories every year and I just can't get enough of it.

Five Follows - Part II

 

Back and sharing some of my favorite IG follows in case you want to mix up your feed a little bit.  I LOVE following fun and interesting accounts to keep my scrolling interesting and uplifting.  Here we go!

I've followed Kari for YEARS and love literally everything she posts.  She's full of parenting wisdom and I constantly find myself nodding along with her posts.  Griffin and I got to hear her speak in person and I love her even more after that.

Sky Ranch

 If you've been reading my blog for any amount of time you probably know that we LOVE Sky Ranch.   It started back in 2017 when the boys went to Day Camp at MCA and to say we were all in would be the understatement of the year.  I mean - here's photographic proof of how in we were ;)

Summer Puzzling

    It's no secret that I LOVE doing puzzles.  LOVE THEM!  I've always enjoyed a puzzle and once my kids were all out of toddlerhood have pretty much always had one going during summer and breaks from school.  During quarantine back in 2020 my love really ramped up and this is when I was able to get my kids a bit more in love as well.  Today I thought I'd share some of my favorite kinds of puzzles, brands of puzzles and answer some puzzle questions I get ;)  With summer upon us it's time for puzzles!!!

Happy Friday, friends! Well... I did it.  This was the LAST full week of the school year and I honestly can't believe it.  This school year has absolutely FLOWN by! Next week we have half days for exams (PRAISE HANDS!) and then it's FREEDOM!

Mason brought home a bunch of his artwork yesterday.  Here are a few of my FAVES...

Must See TV Part 2

 A few weeks ago I shared a few shows that our family has been enjoying and I thought I'd share a few more. 

Survivor is an oldie but a goodie.  Griffin and several of her friends have all been watching Survivor and are LOVING IT!

Carrot Cake

 My parents both LOVE carrot cake (as do I) - so when we celebrated their birthdays a week or so ago I decided to try out a new recipe and OH MY WORD it was so good!  If you love a carrot cake with nuts and raisins and pineapples and all the things then this is the recipe for you!
