Friday Favorites - All About Me, Fall Crafts, and Baseball Bats

Happy Friday, friends!! We are so looking forward to the first September weekend at home this weekend! We have lots of house things to catch up on, some fall weather to soak in, some football to watch, and a favorite fall 5k on Saturday too. Today I just thought I would share a few favorites from our weekend! Little snapshots and blessings over here. I hope you are finding them in your day as well! 

 

Frame This Moment - Quiet Time at the Beach

Happy, happy Thursday! It has felt so fun to be back in this space this week. It's been a big few weeks for the Riddick fam, and it has sure felt nice to be back and settled a little more into family rhythms and routines... Today I thought I'd share of course just a little moment in time to frame! This little snapshot is from our beach trip last week, and it just makes me smile. 

 

Jackson 2026

Happy Wednesday, my friends!! Well, it's safe to say that September has just been a whirlwind for these Riddicks, but we are thankful to be back home, settling in, and remembering all of the fun that this month has held (along with some hard too of course - I'm talking to you, new AC unit😉). But today I thought it would be fun to share some pictures and snapshots of our time in Wyoming. We have gotten to visit several times over the last few falls, and this trip was just as special, with amazing weather and some sweet time with family too. Here are a few pics from our time out there!!

The Sweetest News for the First Day of Fall ❤️

Awww well we are BACK, and I couldn't think of a better day than the first day of FALL to share some VERY sweet news of the Lord's blessing in our lives... 

We have another little one on the way!! 

"Turnaround Week" 2026

Hi friends!! Happy Friday!! Goodness, have I missed this space. We have lovingly named this week "Turnaround Week" at our house over here, as it has been one whirlwind of a week in-between two big family trips. 

Jackson Bound & A Trip Down Memory Lane

Happy Wednesday!!! Well, we are Jackson, WY bound over here as of tomorrow morning, and today I thought I'd share a little trip down memory lane as this will be our ninth trip out there in the last several years... 

Happy September!!

Aww Happy September!!! I love the start of the new month, and in my mind this is the month to wrap up the summer season and begin the fall one...

Happy Thursday, my friends! Today's Frame This Moment is from a very ordinary Thursday night last week, and is one that truly just makes me smile.

Here are just a few snapshots from our month!! I hope you've had a wonderful July as well!! 

Riddick Summer Tidbits

Hi friends!!!! Goodness, have I missed this space. Summer has just gotten away from us over here, and I had to take a week last week to get things a little more situated and settled and just be present in the moment for a bit. Is everything completely situated and settled?! No...hahaha but having a week with the littles to just enjoy the summer days sure was needed and helped our little summer rhythm a bit. 

Frame This Moment - A Summer Concert

Happy Thursday!! Well today I have two posts - a Frame This Moment of course and then some Life Lately snapshots as well!! This Frame This Moment was a fun one for me and Pierce this summer...

 

Life Lately 7.16.26

Happy Thursday!! Today I have two posts for your Thursday - a little life lately recently and of course a frame this moment too!! When I started my blog, July was always my favorite month to blog. As a teacher, I had the summers off and June felt like the perfect resting month and July the fun month, and blogging always fell into that category. This July has felt busy and fun with lots of family and travel and calendar things, but I always love when I can get back on here. It's a favorite for me, and thanks as always for following along on here as well!! 

So without further-ado, here's a little look at life lately for the Riddicks... 

Frame This Moment - Jane's Art Class

Happy happy Thursday!!! Goodness, I hope everyone had such a wonderful 4th!! We had such a great weekend up in Louisville and came back to what we didn't know would be one of the busier weeks of our summer. But I am back today to share a little Frame This Moment from this week!! A special one with Jane. 🎨💕

 

Happy 4th of July!!! 🇺🇸

Aww HAPPY JULY 4TH!!! Pierce has today off, we are packing the car, and heading to our favorite summer spot in Louisville!! 

Frame This Moment - Summer of Letter Fun 2026 ☀️🍉💦

Happy Thursday and Frame This Moment Day!! Today I thought it would be the perfect way to kick off July to share our "Summer of Letter Fun 2026 version that finally made it from my phone to paper this past weekend. We had SO much fun working our way through these last year, so Jane was VERY excited to make a new one for the summer. 

 

Hello July!!

Aww July 1st!!! I just love the start of a new month!! A fresh new start and so much to look forward to in a fun summer month!! 

My Favorite Way to Cut Watermelon 🍉

Happy LAST day of June!!! How did this month just FLY by?! I thought the perfect post to end the month was a little post on our summer's favorite fruit. A few summers ago, I was trying to think of a way to cut a watermelon without getting the amazingly sweet pink part on our cutting board (because way too often it was tasting like way too many other veggies...), and after some trial and error, I landed here, and I've never looked back... 

Friday Favorites - Father's Day, VBS, and Swimming

Happy, Happy FRIDAY!!! We have had one busy week over here at the Riddick household... We got back Sunday night and hit the ground running, and it's safe to say that we are very ready and excited for this summer weekend ahead. We have lots of home time on our calendar and our goal is to actually finally move our "Summer of Letter Fun" from my phone to our refrigerator☀️! Today I just thought I'd share a few snapshots and simple joys from our week! I hope you are finding them in your day as well. Here are a few of ours this Friday morning. :) 

Frame This Moment - Scooter "Date" 🛴
