Hard at Work
My sister, her fiancé, and my Dad have all been working hard on the electric over at her new home. Her upstairs bedrooms didn't have any lights at all. The previous owner only used a lamp. I may not have been able to help with the electrical stuff, but I was able to feed them all a good creamy chicken and asparagus skillet with some potatoes.
Watering Bell
My sister loves unique art and was so excited to discover K2.Clay. She is always on the hunt for those special items to elevate her new home. Luckily, she was able to secure the watering bells Francine and Pete.
4th of July 2024
Happy Birthday, America! We’re so lucky to have some beautiful weather here. I’m heading out to a friend’s BBQ, but before I left I wanted to put together a little flag s’mores dip.
Inside Out 2
I have never seen a movie in 4DX before so I am so excited that I had the chance to see Inside Out 2 in 4DX. It was so much fun! The seats moved so much more than I expected and it was an even cooler experience than I anticipated.
Kindle Spring Reading Challenge
It's Kindle Challenge time again! This challenge was pretty flexible and allowed the reader to select their own books to earn majority of the bookmarks this time around. My favorite bookmark was Solstice Story Time because it was the perfect excuse to sit out in the yard and dive into a good book.
Lord of the Rings
My sister's all-time favorite series is Lord of the Rings. There was no way we were going to miss the re-release of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy in a format never seen before in theaters. It felt like we were on our own little adventure heading to the movie theater three nights in a row for each extended edition.
Happy Father’s Day!!
Happy Father's Day to my Dad who is so often behind the scenes in my pictures. Whether he is helping me open my pool, or helping fix the boiler in my sister's new home, he is always helping us get stuff done. My Dad is so handy and can fix anything!
First Aid Kit
As I am getting ready to enjoy the start of the summer season, I am taking a minute to update my first aid kit. I am using all the tips I learned in pediatric first aid when selecting the items. I am looking forward to some upcoming outdoor adventures and fun in the sun.
Unpacking at my Sister's House
Does it count as helping if we climb in the boxes that we just helped unpack? I have been loving helping my sister get settled in her new home. It’s been so much fun to see her vision.
Back at The Circus
Spent an evening enjoying the dazzling performances of the acrobats at Flip Circus. I had so much fun with Cynthia's family, my sister, and Jorell.
Star Wars Trivia Night
Epic fail at Star Wars Trivia. Our original girls night out plans were rescheduled to October so we took advantage of a backup Star Wars Trivia night instead.
Uncle Billy’s 65th
I'm so happy we were able to celebrate my Uncle Billy's 65th birthday and even happier that it was in my sister's new home.
Fourth Wing
I am officially in my dragon era. It is Year of the Dragon and I devoured Rebecca Yarro's Fourth Wing and Iron Flame. I have a new obsession. These books were unbelievable and I am so grateful I listened to all the hype and gave them a try.
Tulip Farm
So lucky to have spent an amazing day with Cynthia, the twins, and my sister at the tulip farm. It was a little chillier than we anticipated, but that may have been even better because we got to see the twins in their bear outfits. They are the absolute cutest and are just waiting to have a little buddy to join them on their adventures.
Mother's Day
Spending the day with my favorite human. We decided on an out of this world theme this year for Mother’s Day because let’s face it, our Mom is out of this world! My Mom is the most incredible human on the planet. I would choose her in every lifetime and in every universe. I know how lucky I am to be able to call my Mom my very best friend.
Cinco de Mayo
Joined the fiesta over at Stew Leonard's to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. We enjoyed burritos bowls, tacos, and nachos.
May the Fourth Be With You!
What do you call Chewbacca when he gets chocolate in his fur? A chocolate chip Wookie! A little Star Wars humor for Star Wars Day! I am just over here chilling with Grogu, better known as Baby Yoda, drinking our Jedi milk and looking forward to the day I have a little one to enjoy Disney + with.
Dragon Birthday Part 2
The surprises for my birthday never stopped. My sister and Jorell celebrated my birthday as the first celebration in their new home. I cannot tell you how honored I am.
Dragon Birthday!
I am beyond grateful and so lucky to be surrounded by so many incredible loved ones. My Mom and sister truly spoiled me for my birthday. Check out my dining room! Can you believe the setup they created for me to celebrate my birthday? The pictures do not do it justice.
