Friday Favorites - Roses, Valentine's Dates, and Quiet Mornings

Happy, happy Friday!!! We are looking forward to this weekend and can't believe we are closing in on the end of February...it has felt like it has flown by. The other thing that has felt like it has flown by has been the Olympics!! We are going to be sad that the Closing Ceremony is on Sunday...We have just loved, loved, loved watching it this year. The kids have loved it, we've loved it, we've stayed up way too late and have been way too invested at times, but what a fun few weeks it's been! Today I just have a few simple joys for your Friday! Little snapshots and fun that this week held! I hope you've been finding them in your own week as well! Here are just a few of ours! 

Frame This Moment - Survivor 50 in Nashville

Happy Thursday and Frame This Moment Day! Today's post is a fun little moment from this past weekend and a favorite memory for sure! 

February Goals

Happy Wednesday!!! Well, I know we are over half way through February, but I thought today I'd share some goals from this sweet month. 

 

Ten Things I Love About Motherhood

Happy Tuesday, my friends!!! In honor of Valentine's Day and the month of February, I thought I would continue one of my favorite little posts - Ten Things I Love About Motherhood. I started this back in 2023 when I was just ten months into this little journey with sweet Jane. I remembering just feeling a pressing on my heart to lean into the good. 

Friday Favorites - Valentine's Edition

Happy Friday, my friends!! It's Valentine's Day Weekend!! How special and fun!! There is just something fun about this time of year, and maybe it's because I spent so many years of my life in an elementary school setting during this sweet month, but I couldn't love the pink and red and fun that it brings. So I just have a few favorite Valentine's things over here for you that have brought us joy this week!! 

Frame This Moment - “French Braiding Lesson”

Happy Thursday and Frame This Moment Day!! Today’s little snapshot was this week on one of our 70° weather days and just made me smile. It was the essence of a little moment in time to frame in my mind…

Let's Look - Ways We've Turned into Our Parents

Happy Wednesday, friends!! I thought today I would jump on board the Let's Look blog link-up and share just a few ways our parents have influenced us over here... 😉 We always laugh at those "I'm turning into my parents commercials," and really, we have amazing parents, but the older we get, the longer our list gets of things we have picked up over the years... Here are just a few that come to mind! 

Life Lately In Film - January Edition

Happy Tuesday friends!!! Today I thought I'd start a new little series on here called "Life Lately In Film." 

It will come as no surprise to anyone that I am a picture girl through and through. I love them. I always have, and I'm sure always will. I was the friend communicating via picture texts back with a flip phone and thinking the best errand as a child was going with my mom to get our "film" developed at the store. I will always love pictures so very much, but recently, especially with littles who are ever-changing, I have started to just adore videos just as much. SO much is captured on film. And as I've been in my "Frame This Moment" season, I have realized how much is truly framed in a little snapshot of a video. 

Friday Favorites - Valentine's Bows, Crafts, and Winter Olympics

Happy FRIDAY!! My, are we always glad to see the weekend, but this one feels a little sweeter. It's been a busy and full week over here for us, but we have been thankful for a "normal" week so to speak. Jane and I have been loving all things pink and red and Andy even made a little craft this week that he is SO proud of. We're looking forward to the weekend with some family time, some times with friends, and a little football to end the season too. Thought I'd share just a few simple joys from our week - I hope you are finding them throughout yours as well!! 

Frame This Moment - Louisville Sledding

Happy Thursday and Frame This Moment Day!! Today I just have a few snapshots from our sweet time in Louisville last week. They had about 8 or 9 inches of pure snow, so the kids were in heaven. It was cold, but sledding was a hit.  

Riddicks' Winter Storm Week

Happy Wednesday, friends! Well, today I thought I would share a few snapshots from our time last week with all of the snow and ice. I know this winter storm created a lot of hardship for a lot of people, in and out of Nashville, and we are still praying for those without power and all who were deeply affected by this storm. With two littles under our roof, we tried to keep morale high and memory making a priority, while simultaneously having heavy hearts and a mindset of prayer for all that was happening around us.

Out of all the the blur of last week, my very favorite moment was when Jane went to her room for a minute with our power out and trees and tree branches falling left and right around our neighborhood. She came downstairs a few minutes later and said, "I went to my room and prayed that a tree would not fall on our house." Cue all the tears. The faith and prayers of a child. There is nothing quite like them. 

So, needless-to-say, we are just making our way through the days after this storm, reflecting on the sweetness and fun and the hard and the good, all the while keeping our focus on Jesus. I thought I'd just share a few snapshots and memories from the week though - a week for the books for sure. 

Happy February!!! 💕❤️

Oh, Happy February, friends!!! We have made it to the end of January, and as much as I love that sweet wintery month, last week was a crazy way to end it... So needless-to-say, we are ready to welcome in this next pink and red month!! February is just sweet and fun and light and full of all the things we love, and we are ready for a little of all of that in our house these days!
