3 on Thursday

Just keeping it simple today with 3 things on my mind! 

#1-  I love most holidays! You name it and I will decorate, probably be wearing a festive shirt, and make a big deal about it. But, one of the holidays that gets neglected in our house is St. Patrick’s Day.  I have no idea why.  In the past, I just oblige and wear green. Boring! I don’t think I am going to go crazy with decor and all that but I might add some kind of green food/ fun dessert to our day. We did grab a Shamrock shake from McDonald’s but we didn’t love it.  Do you have any fun traditions for St. Patrick’s Day?  


#2 Guys, I am thinking about Easter too!  This year it is  the first Sunday in April which is early. I saw some really cute plaid shirts at Wal-Mart for the boys that I need to pick up the next time I am there. I also need to buy some Easter basket goodies. Here are some of the items on my list: chalk, bubbles, snacks, stickers/tattoos, a new baseball hat, and rain boots. I also need to investigate about Easter pics. Are you ready for Easter? 

#3 B came home last week and started talking about sending C back to daycare.  I have been wanting this for several months but I will admit that my heart sank a little.  I know all the benefits of him going back and I fully support it but I just wanted to hold on a little longer. We have a tour this Saturday at a daycare so we will see what happens.  We are thinking 3 days a week to start and then transition him and D to 5 days once I go back to work in the fall. Ready or not, things are going to change for our little family. 

Tell me something you are thinking about!

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

Image
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
