Friday Favorites - Fall Break, Little Moments, and Pumpkin Creamer

HAPPY FRIDAY!! In October!! I think some of the very best weekends are the ones in October... We have had a very full week over here, but I couldn't miss hopping on here for Friday Favorites this week!! Just a few little snapshots and simple joys over here for your Friday!

I hope it's crisp blue skies wherever you are this morning with a slight breeze and something warm to drink as you settle in! Here's to a sweet Friday and weekend ahead!! 

Fall This and That

Happy Tuesday!! Today I just have a little this and a little that for your sweet October fall morning! It's a random little assortment of all things fall on my mind... 

Frame This Moment - Fall Family Fun 🍂🍁

Happy Thursday and Frame This Moment Day!! Today we just have a little snapshot of making our own family fun list of things to do this fall. Most are little things, simple things, things that are already on the calendar, but things that all feel "fall" to us, and it feels like it just makes the season all a little more "fun." 

Happy October!!

Oh, October!!! You are just our very favorite. From the fall season and everything that comes along with it, to family, and football, traditions, memories, good food, perfect weather, simple joys, and ending the month with our anniversary. It's a hard month to beat over here... 

Texas Bound!

Well, these two babies are headed back to Tyler, TX this weekend, but this time with their own two babies...

Summer of Letter Fun ☀️🍉💦 [Part 3]

Happy Wednesday!!! Well, we LOVED celebrating the first day of FALL on Monday!!! And I know this season is full of pumpkins, cozy blankets, hot tea, and the perfect weather, but I have one last summer post to officially wrap up our "Summer of Letter Fun," along with a few things that I want to remember about the summer too. It was a really sweet one, and I realized that the part of me that loves "completing things" would hate to leave the last three off our list here in these posts. You can find the original post here, along with part one and part two, and here is part three!

Friday Favorites - New Tricycle, Memorizing Scripture, and Mornings at the Park

Frame This Moment - Bubble Wands

Happy, happy Thursday!!! And Frame This Moment Day!!! Today's little moment was a fun impromptu weekend "activity" that I dare say Pierce and I might have had more fun "playing" than the kids hahhaa 

Summer of Letter Fun ☀️🍉💦 [Part 2]

Happy Wednesday!!! Well, I know we are almost all in "fall-mode," but I wanted to finish up the second part to our little Summer of Letter Fun over here before fall officially is here on the calendar. This started as a sweet text from a friend in a different state who asked if we wanted to join them in creating a few "Alphabet Activities" for the summer. We brainstormed some fun ideas, I didn't have a poster board so grabbed a big sticky note leftover from teaching, and we created a fun list that made our summer just a little sweeter! We have loved working our way through these this summer. You can find the first post here and Part 1 of recapping here. 

Frame This Moment - Meeting Baby Noah 💙

Let's Look - Toddler Life

Happy September!!

Hi, friends!!! Happy Wednesday! Happy SEPTEMBER!!! How is it possible to already be in September in 2025?! This year seems to be flying by. September is a sweet blend of my mind of the changing of the seasons - going from the warmth of summer to the cool of fall, and I really do love it! This year, this month holds so many different things, so I thought I would just do a little random assortment of all things September as we welcome this month in!

Amazon Lately.
