Friday Favorites: March Week 2

-

 Hello!

Another Friday, more good weather, and the promise of a really fun weekend with our friends and my wonderful family. I feel very fortunate and grateful for these blessings.

Thank you to Andrea from Momfessionals and Erika from A Little Bit of Everything for hosting this sweet link party every Friday! 💛 This has really helped me on my gratitude goal and also on taking pictures of all these wonderful things to remember and love!


Here are some favorites from this past week:

1. Friday At Home Date

We are an active family for sure and so at home dates after the kids are calmed down for the night are a treat. Grant made me my favorite of spinach tortellini with the Trader Joe’s truffle Alfredo (seriously soooooo good) and roasted mixed tomatoes. 😋 

2. French Bloom non-alcoholic wine

I’m always interested in trying a good non-alcoholic option and so we bought this and were saving it for “someday”. We decided to enjoy this past weekend. It was delicious and, though a little pricey, was a very authentic taste without the buzz.

3. I finished a scarf!!!

I started this project a couple of years ago and kept putting it down. Then I decided to incorporate just two rows a day into my morning routine and realized how therapeutic knitting is for me and just went wild these past couple of weeks. Jamie has called dibs and so I’m now starting a hat for Arnis.

4. Pie Day


Grant stayed up until midnight Wednesday making pies for his work as they were having a pie day party. 😂 My dreams that night we’re definitely spices with a delicious samosa pie flavor! So yummy!!! 😋 

5. Comfy clothes

My mother bought this for me so I would have something non-constricting as I was leaving the hospital but still warm enough for the dreary weather that week. I wore it to church this past weekend and this dress feels like a hug. It’s from target and I’m normally a small but we got it in the medium to give even more space so there wasn’t any pressure on my abdomen. Absolute win, feels like a giant soft t-shirt, and I will definitely wear this again.

That’s all for this week, I hope that yours is filled with love and that you get some pie today!!! 🥰 #3/14

    The date night sounds fab and the wine sounds lovely. I do love a non-alcoholic wine sometimes.
    Good job to Grant with the pies, they sound delicious.

Friday Favorites: February week 3

 Hello! This has been quite the week, but there is so much to be grateful for. It’s going to get a bit deep and frankly I need to not process a lot for a little while and just focus on gratitude so that I can deal with the grief in my own way and time. Thank you to Andrea from  Momfessionals  and Erika from  A Little Bit of Everything  for hosting this sweet link party every Friday! 💛 This has really helped me on my gratitude goal and also on taking pictures of all these wonderful things to remember and love! Here are my favorites from this week (in timeline order because that is how I can process right now): 1. Guerrera documentary  Some of the ladies that I trained with for our respective combat deployments participated in a documentary that came out last Saturday. They did an amazing job and I can speak from experience that this was a very accurate depiction for us. (Most of the ladies interviewing were from CST 5. I trained with them but ended up deplo...

Let’s Look: How we work on our marriage

 Hello, I’m joining the party again this month, a big thank you to Shay from Mix and Match Mama  and Erika from A Little Bit of Everything  for setting this up and inviting us to share as well! 🥰 Grant and I are in a season of life that usually has our two little guys along for the ride. That means that we don’t have regular dinner dates or weekends away, but we find time that works in our schedule and season. 💛 1. Wednesday and Thursday Work Commute We are a one car family as we live in a city where parking isn’t always the easiest and we love the fact that it reduces our carbon impact and has the added bonus of allowing us to spend more time together. Grant takes public transportation to work Monday, Tuesday, and Friday, but on Wednesday and Thursday he works from a different location that doesn’t have an obvious route so I drive him between the kids drop off and heading over to the zoo. This time together is just us, we’re not on our phones, there’s no distractions o...

Let’s Look: Our Wellness Routines

 Hello, I’m linking up again this month to join  Shay from  Mix and Match Mama  and Erika from  A Little Bit of Everything ’s link party for “Let’s Look”. I love that these topics are a glimpse into our normal, everyday life and it’ll be so much fun to look back years from now and remember what we were up to! My wellness routine these days is a lot less singularly focused on sprints or gym time and a lot more of a holistic approach so here we go!  Mind 1. I do a lesson of Duolingo Spanish every evening as part of my quiet time to keep this skill up. I’ve always loved learning languages and even tested in the Army as having a strong aptitude for this, this feels right to me. (I already speak French and my Arabic is still there albeit a little rusty, but if I want to ever do sea turtle conservation work I feel like Spanish might be the way to go. 🙂) 2. I spend time volunteering with the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Gardens. Getting out is important to me dur...
