Easter Touches

 One of my little projects over Spring Break was to get a few Easter things out and add a few little spring touches.  

Friday Faves

  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 ;)

MAN! What a great week it's been.  It's been a little bit slower than we anticipated but I have so enjoyed the time at home with my kids along with the slower pace.  It's been WONDERFUL!

Last Friday night we went to Sharon's house for a crawfish boil and the only pic I took was this one of Mason with a baby ;) hahaha Sharon and Mike are so much fun and there were A TON of former students there (Sharon's boys are all older and graduated from MCA) which completely blew my mind.  Seeing my former middle-schoolers as full-fledged adults was a TRIP but seeing how many of them are still friends and still hanging out was my FAVORITE!

Three Things

Today's three things pics are all from their second birthdays - because birthday month is coming up and I've been doing all the reminiscing ;) 

- OUTDOOR TRACK -

Luke finished up a great indoor track season and is LOVING outdoor.  He's running the 800 and 1600m but I think his favorite part is hanging out with his friends all day ;)

Teen Boy Easter Basket Ideas

 Today I'm sharing some of my tried and true teen boy gift ideas perfect to add to an Easter basket or use for other Spring gifting. 

These socks are my boys favorites.  They're a great length and they both love them.

This portable speaker is great because it can clip onto a backpack or other bag.  Perfect for the gym, travel, school, hanging out with friends, etc.

This pickle ball set would make the perfect gift for boys looking to get out and have fun with their friends.

Luke has this air couch and uses it WAY more than I ever thought he would.  He uses it at track/XC meets but would be great anywhere. It's extra great because you don't need a pump.

This foam roller set would be great if you have an athlete who you're shopping for - that large piece is something that my boys have and LOVE! You can apply a bunch of pressure (or a little) and it works SO WELL!

I don't know why they all want grip trainers but they do.  Trust.

My boys both use this bar soap and it smells great!

White crocs are a teen boy staple and if they got a pair last year it's probably time to replace that dingy dirty pair with a fresh white pair for Spring ;)

These shorts are Luke's all-time FAVORITE.  They're a great length, have zippered pockets and are super light and comfy.  They've been washed HUNDREDS of times and have held up perfectly.

See y'all tomorrow!

I had a post planned for today BUT I spent pretty much all of yesterday hanging on the couch with Griffin after an oral surgery she had in the morning.  So thankful that her pain has been manageable but she just needed her mama and I was happy to oblige!

See y'all tomorrow!

Tween Girl Easter Bakset

Today I'm sharing a quick list of Amazon finds that would be perfect for filling up a Tween girl Easter basket - and if I'm being honest I'd be absolutely fine with it if someone wanted to fill up a basket for me with any of these items ;)  (you can click on the items the image below to go directly to the linked item)

 

It wouldn't be Eatser without a Jellycat bunny - they're the softest and sweetest stuffed animals and I stand by the statement that you're never too old for one.

Everyone is LOVING pickleball and this set of paddles couldn't be cuter. 

I LOVE Laneige products and am assured by the tween girls I know and love that they would be excited for this to be in their basket.

We have a polaroid camera and LOVE snapping pics on it and having the immediate prints.  Perfect for all the upcoming Spring occasions and summer travel.

This Owala bottle is a darling color combo.

I use these Maree eye patches multiple times and week and LOVE THEM!

We know that teen and tween girls are ALL ABOUT the self care and this package of shower steamers would be a great alternative to a bath bomb if she's more of a shower girly than a bath one. 

Every girl needs a fresh pair of flip flops for Spring and these are PERFECT.

Sol de Janeiro.... need I say more ;) I do love that this set gives them a little bit of everything and would be perfect for traveling.

I taught a bunch of my 8th grade girls how to make knotted embroidery floss bracelets - they're simple and quick and don't require beads and wire and elastic - I love that they can safety pin them to their backpacks and work on them whenever and wherever.  This kit would give them everything they need to make a BUNCH!

Happy Monday, friends!

PS - Shoutout to Amazon for partnering with me on this post!

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 ;)

Hanging with these two on a Saturday - even if it was pouring rain and freezing cold - is always a FAVORITE!

St. Patricks Day-Spiration ;)

St. Patrick's Day is right around the corner and while we don't go all out I do like to do a little something whether it's a special dinner or dessert and when my kids were younger I definitely tried to have an activity or two on deck for them.  Today I'm sharing a couple of simple ideas in case you're wanting to plan something special for Monday.

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

 On our recent road trip to Louisiana Luke and I stopped in at Buc-ees and I grabbed a package of oatmeal raisin cookies and Luke and I couldn't stop talking about how good they were and we decided that oatmeal raisin cookies are both of our FAVORITE cookies.  That had me thinking about why I don't think I've ever made them or ever made them WELL.  With Luke heading to San Antonio this week I wanted to send him off with something he'd be really excited about so I made this recipe and OH MY WORD they're HEAVENLY!

Amazon Lately

Spring is in full-swing over here including on my Prime account. 

 I ordered this cute little polo dress for Griffin who has taken up golf and it's actually two pieces and SO CUTE!

Big Bend 2025

Mason and I got to go to Big Bend a couple of weeks ago and I'm finally getting around to sharing the details!
