Thankful Thursday: 11/12/2020


Last week was my first post Thankful Thursday and it's time for another. Why did I want to do this? Well, I used to be so busy with work and have never participated in the 30 days of gratitude that most people do on FB.  So, I decided that I needed to take the time to be grateful for the big and little things this month. 

This week I am thankful for the memories I am creating with the boys since I resigned from my job. 


It hit me on Monday morning when we went for a walk.  D was in the wagon and C was on his bike  It was just perfect and I was so grateful to be with them.  There are some hard days when I am the meltdown manager, handling all the mom duties, and just trying to survive.  So, to find a little peace and calm this week has been amazing for my mama heart!  


Some other special moments this week: more sidewalk chalk, picnic at the park eating homemade cookies, and having lunch outside. We may not be doing a whole lot of pre-academics but we sure are creating lots of fun memories!  

I do not know what next year will bring for me...return back to work or continue my journey as a SAHM.  What I do know, is that I am very grateful to have these days with my 2 littles. 


I hope you are finding ways to be thankful this month. Come back tomorrow for my Friday Favorites!

Happy Wednesday, friends!  Today, I am joining Anne from  In Residence  for her monthly  Currently   post.  The first Wednesday of the month she provides a one word prompt to discuss and share. These are so fun to write up and to read.   Currently Arranging: Our  new rug! We had been waiting on one we ordered back in December that was a Magnolia rug but after the date of arrival getting pushed back several times we just decided to get something in stock. We ordered both rugs from the furniture store we got our sectional. We are loving our new rug!  Currently Craving:  Ahhhh, without a doubt my mom’s home cooking. Nuff said!!  Currently Discussing: We have definitely been going round and round with the “what if’s” about my possible job opportunities. It’s a little exciting and scary to think about having to make a decision.  Lots of praying going on too!  Currently Enjoying: We got the pics back from the “personality photo” session.  Y’all, they are precious!  If you have older kids thi

Honoring Dr. King

Hey there!   I am linking up with a great group of bloggers:  In honor of Dr. King, I wanted to share what I’ll be doing to remember and honor him. What remarkable words!  I thought it would be fun for the boys to color a picture of MLK. There are tons on  Pinterest but I really like this one from Crayola . If you have older kiddos, you can always google “facts about MLK.” It’s  a great way to discuss and learn more about him with your family. Martin Luther King, Jr. is taught in textbooks at school but how amazing would it be to bring the conversation into our homes about MLK and the Civil Rights Movement.  Did you know that MLK basically skipped high school? He attended Morehouse College when has was 15! He skipped 9th - 12th grade.  That is one of the facts I learned while researching about him.  I’ll leave you with a few more nuggets. Let’s DO better and BE better!  Make it a great Monday, friends.  -A-

Friday Favorites: 1/22/21

Ahhhhhh, it's my favorite day of the week! Anyone else feel like January is flying by?! Kinda loving it because spring is coming.  I am joining Erika and Andrea for their fabulous link up:  ONE:    We went on a little trip to the Tyler Zoo on Sunday.  It is a smaller zoo than Dallas or Ft. Worth but I tend to enjoy them even more because it is more manageable with the boys. We saw some great animals!  This longhorn was beautiful!  The lion was very active and kept roaring.   He was so loud and could be heard all over the zoo.  These guys scared me because I thought the cage was empty until I spotted them in the corner.   The only downfall for me was that there were way too many people not wearing masks for my comfort level.  We have visited 2 other smaller zoos in the past few months and generally most people will wear a mask even though we are outdoors. We kept our distance from people, avoided the enclosed areas, and avoided the animals that were crowded. It was a fun zoo and t
