Lasagna Shells

I was going back through my archives for recipes I'd forgotten about and came across this absolute GEM that had somehow fallen off of our rotation. It's officially back in and SO DELISH and perfect for upcoming cooler weather...

What We Wore Wednesday

Hey! I thought it would be fun to share a few of the things that G and I have been wearing and loving lately! First up is this cute outfit she wore on Sunday

Sweater / Top / Jeans / Shoes

House Game: Pizza Box Knockout

This house game was one of my very favorite things - FREE!  Dave stopped by Domino's on his way home from work and asked them for 24 pizza boxes.  They were happy to oblige and that was really the only prep I needed to do.  Once I got the stack of boxes to school I assembled the boxes (took hardly any time at all!) and we were ready to go. 

Weekend Recap - Halloween Edition

 Halloween looked a teeny bit different this year as all of our kids were off doing their own thing with friends - WHICH I LOVE!!! But when G asked if a few of her friends could come over before the official party at another friends I was more than happy to oblige ;) 

G and AJ decided back in the summem that they wanted to be hot dogs and that's exactly what they did ;) G's was a bit fancier thanks to HUNDREDS of mirrored gems and about 4 tubes of E6000 glue and they couldn't have looked cuter!

Amazon Lately

 

Someone sent me a picture of these sparkly clogs on instagram and I immediately added them to my cart! HOW GOOD ARE THESE?!?!?! They aren't in yet but as soon as they get here I'll be sharing IRL life pics!

What's Up Wedesday

      Today I'm linking up with  Shay and  Sheaffer to talk a little bit about what's been going on around here! I started this post Tuesday afternoon and then was IN BED AND ASLEEP by 8:30 Tuesday night and never finished! So here we are ;)

Not me but Luke took on the "zipper ripper' challenge at some burger restaurant they always eat at after cross country state on Monday. I AM UNWELL!!! It's a 5-patty burger and one pound of fries and you have 12 minutes to eat the whole thing.

He did not complete the challenge but came close. He said the mayo on the bottom bun held him back ;) hahaha

Five Follows

Back today with another edition of Five Follows - where I share Five accounts that brighten my scroll ;) 

First up is Alycia - she shares recipes that all look delish and simple but I could listen to her talk all day - hahaha I love that her recipes are more "methods" and less exact and she makes a really wide variety of foods as well which has given me some much needed inspo.

Spooky Recipe Ideas

 Can y'all believe HAlloween is this weekend?!?!? I thought I'd reshare a few spooky recipe ideas in case you're startign to think about your plans for next week like I am!

I know I've thought I was busy before I took this new job but I've never been busier than I am right now as evidenced by my utter lack of posting!

This week was Amplify week in middle school which is a spirit week I created just for middle school full of games, competitions, spirit dress days, football games, and a barn dance. It's currently 12:35 am on Friday morning and I have about 1000 photos to go through from the week and I just don't have the brain power to do it tonight. I'll be back later today with the rest of the post but for now enjoy this PRECIOUS pic of my Rory Gilmore ;) 

 

HAPPY Friday, friends!

 

Reading Recap

 Calamity Club

Y'ALL. This book!!! I went into Calamity Club not really knowing what to expect, and let me just tell you... I was NOT prepared for all the feelings.

Fall/Halloween Picture Book Recs

 This post grows year after year and it makes my heart SO HAPPY!

I don't think you ever really "outgrow" a great picture book and I love the idea of having this collection of books for years to come.

Check these out and add a few new ones to your collection or to your library wishlist!

Halloween in the Orchard is a new addition (I'm super picky) and I LOVE IT!!!  It's the same series as the gorgeous "Thanksgiving in the Woods" book and it's just everything.
