One. Let’s start with a picture of a baby that’s not mine. I saw this online somewhere and it tickled me so much. Two. When momma’s out of town for work, the baby gets a bath in the sink. By the look on his face Jack thought it was the best thing ever. Three. I finally bought all the ingredients to make these Strawberry Shortcake Bars from Iowa Girl Eats. I have made so many of her recipes and have get to make something I didn’t like. Four. Ben started a new preschool a few weeks ago and to say we love it is an understatement. I’ll share why we…

5 on Friday
I don’t know about you all, but I’m ready for this week to be over! I’m hoping our weekend is stress free and we can have some fun. One. The weather has been beautiful the past couple of days. Instead of going to the gym the other night, I took the boys and we hit up the trail. Ben pedaled his little heart out and I noticed his current bike is way too small for him. Jack loves that he gets to sit in his stroller like a big man. He just looked around and would start screeching every time his brother rode away. Two. Cassie over at Hi Sugarplum! created these…

5 on Friday: Autism Awareness
Happy Friday! I can’t believe we’re already four days into April.

Although scientists and researchers are still looking at causes, we do know it is a combination of both genetic and environmental factors. We also…

One. Last night we had a big thunderstorm with it came lots of hail. Living in the midwest hail is pretty common, as evidenced by our ability to quickly move our patio table and umbrella to the covered part of our porch. But you guys, this was the most I’ve ever seen. And it all fell within 2 minutes. Two. Last weekend we went to dinner and Jack sat in a high chair at a restaurant for first time. Normally we keep him in his car seat (he’s usually sleeping) but he was not having that anymore. This was the best picture I could get because he was so busy…

5 on Friday
Happy Friday Friends! Yesterday was the first day of Spring and it sure felt like it! There’s something about warm, sunny weather that just seems to put everyone in a good mood. One. Ben’s kindergarden registration was last week and he was so excited to see the classroom but especially the toys 🙂 He also finished soccer lessons and he asks me every day when he can do them again. Two. Ever since seeing this on Pinterest I’ve been thinking about making this beef enchilada dip. Doesn’t it look so good! The best part is you probably have all the ingredients you need already on hand. source Three. Last week I posted…
