Blog Award! Sunshine Award!

-
I saw this yesterday but we were busy busy busy getting ready for our girls to move in today. ((I'm so excited about this year!))

Emily over at Emerging Em gave me and award!


Now I get to tell you seven things about me!

1. I love coffee.  I have an espresso machine in my apartment and my kitchen is currently decorated with a French Cafe theme. :)

2. I've taught two people to sew in the past year...and I'm pretty sure they can both sew better than me now!

3.  My lifelong desire is to be a stay-at-home mom. :) Until then, I'll keep schooling and working! :)

4.  I love Jesus (in case that wasn't obvious yet, we'll throw that one out there!! :) )

5.  M&Ms are on my brain right now.  We made M&M inspired cupcakes and doortags for our residents...and our t-shirt is going to be M&M themed as well. :) ((I'll post pictures of the cupcakes later).

6.  I tend to wear jeans/tshirt everyday...or short/tshirt.  I try to be better and look nicer, but it just never happens.  When it does, I'll start doing one of the "What I Wore Wednesday" blog parties!

7.  I've lived in this college town for about a third of my life now.  How crazy is that? Mom figured that one out the other day.  Watching all these new girls moving in today reminds me of when I moved in back in 05.  I was on the third floor, no elevator.  We spoil our girls!! We have cupcakes and cold water out here for them to drink....and we have an elevator! :)


And now I'm going to tag some of the blogs that I read that really brighten my day!
(since it's the Sunshine Award)

1. Melissa at Ador
2. Dawn at Beat Until Fluffy
3. Sumo at Sumo's Sweet Stuff

Thanks Emily!! :)

My Cleaning Schedule

1/8/2024 Update! I wrote this post 12 years ago!! Every spring and every January, my blog (that I don't update nearly often enough!) gets a lot of attention on this post about a simple cleaning plan! That makes a lot of sense though, right? That said, I noticed while doing laundry this week that it's time to buy some fresh microfiber towels for us to use for wiping down surfaces. While I'm shopping, I'm going to make a list here of some of our go-to cleaning supplies that you can find online. Microfiber Cleaning Cloths  - I use these for just about everything. I've had more and less expensive ones over the years, but I find as long as I wash them separate from any lint towels, they hold up well for a few years. Glass Spray Bottles  - I have one (and need more!). I like to dilute a little castile soap or dish soap in one for the boys to help clean surfaces. Currently, I have homemade pine cleaner in mine. I put a bunch of fresh pine straw in a jar, filled it with vin...

What's going on in Summer 2024?

When school is out for all our friends, we're always looking for something fun to do together at one of our houses or around town. I've been putting together a list of fun events in our area (Jefferson/Blount/Walker/Cullman counties) so we will never be bored! There's no way we can be at all of these, but I'm keeping them on my radar. If you know of something else that I've missed, leave it in the comments. I'll be updating this post as I find out more information on events and adding registration links as they are available, so make sure to check back often! At the bottom of this post, you'll find a calendar you can download and print for the months of June and July! :)

Meal Plan for this Week

-

 I'm going to try to start posting my meal plans each week....mostly so I can refer back to them later! If you want to see all my previous meal plans (some are monthly, some are weekly), you can see them here . Future ones will be tagged too if you want to bookmark that link. I always make sure to include some meals designated for leftovers to hopefully reduce the chance of forgetting about food in the back of the fridge. Breakfasts tend to switch between cereal & oatmeal or granola, with the occasional muffins or cinnamon rolls thrown in. As everyone is waking up, they can fix their breakfast with some coffee or hot cocoa, and pick out a book or quiet activity like coloring to do while eating while we wait for the day to get started.
