Turn The Page Tuesday Week 6

Phew. Yesterday was a crazy day and today is the same. Ive had so many little things to do and they are taking up my entire day. It has been so beautiful outside so the boys and I have taken full advantage. I finally got my garden planted and ready to go. I decided on broccoli, lettuce, spinach, kale, brussel sprouts, jalapeños, and more herbs. Yep, lots of GREEN!!! Although my spring garden didn't produce like I had hoped it would, I learned a lot and am back for Fall!:) We shall see how this one does...I will do a garden post soon!:)

Weekend Recap+Favorite "Fall" Thing

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a great weekend! I am so bummed my husband is back to work today:( However, this weekend is a 3 day weekend for us and I am so looking forward to it! My cousin is coming into town and I am so excited! Owen hasn't been out to see us since we've been in Lousiana. This weekend was a relaxing one with my Dad and his fiancé, Teresa. She is always a huge help when she is here. She did dinner, bath time, cleaning the kitchen, etc. For those moms out there, you know how nice it is to have the extra hands to do that!:)

Saturday we did some work outside, cleaning off the porch, and grilling for dinner. We picked up some steaks from a local meat market/butcher and they were so good!!! Of course we watched our bulldogs play!:) They dominated. GOOO DAWGS!!:) Yesterday we went to church, out to lunch, and then ran some errands. I think Weston is already sick of shopping...and the holidays aren't here yet:/ Here are a couple shots from the boys on Saturday:

I can't stand the cuteness!!!:) It was a beautiful day at our house and we enjoyed it by being outside all day.....

What did you do this weekend?

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

OH MY... "Favorite Things" goes "FALL"!!!!! If you haven't made your first "Fall" stop at Bath and Body, I urge you to go pronto;) I actually ended up getting the same scents I did last year!!! The new ones are delicious too, so I will have to try those next. I just couldn't pass up my fall favs from last year! So, for today, here is a so yummy favorite thing!!

Have a Marvelous Monday and don't forget to start getting your posts ready for "Turn The Page Tuesday!"

Weekend Recap+A Favorite Thing

What woke me up this morning, you ask?! (other than my 1 year old;)) I woke up to my rooster crowing!!! I LOVED it! Our chickens and rooster are finally full grown. So we have a crowing rooster and 4 laying hens. I am patiently waiting for some eggs! Anytime now....

I hope you all had a great weekend! We had plenty going on around here. We had a great day Friday at MOPS, and then a little play time with my friend Kayla and her boys. Saturday we took Wyatt fishing at the local catfish farm. We met up with a guy Weston works with, and his wife, and had a great time. That is another perk to being in the Army...we meet tons of great people! 

Wyatt caught his first catfish so that was very exciting! Saturday afternoon I headed out to meet my friends for our monthly girls' night!  I am so blessed to have such amazing friends!! This is one area in my life where God simply shows me that he knows best. We went to church Sunday with the feeling of fall in the air! It felt amazing. It has definitely cooled down a little bit, but we are in Louisiana...we have short winters;)

If you haven't tried this dish soap...TRY IT! It makes my house smell like Williams-Sonoma:) I love how it smells, and I love how it cleans. I buy mine at Target, and if you get their coupon books, every so often they will have a coupon for it!

Its going to  be a fun week of blogging so I hope you read along this week! Don't forget tomorrow is another edition of "Turn The Page Tuesday!!!" Get your books ready and come link up!!!!

5 Healthy Snacks+A Favorite Thing

Happy Monday! I know it is still technically the weekend and I hope you have all enjoyed it so far! We've had a great one! Today we are continuing the fun and heading to Hodges Gardens in Many, Louisiana. A lot of our friends are from here so they know the places to go:) I was also successful in my first attempt in making good ole' cajun Gumbo, for our first Game Day of the season!!! It was delicious and I will definitely share that recipe soon!
Today I am sharing my Top 5 Go-To, yet healthy, snacks! As a mom of two VERY active boys, it can be challenging some days to not head straight for the cookie jar when I get a little hungry;)....yes, we've all been there. A lot of these aren't "genius" when it comes to creativity. But sometimes, we forget how simple making good snack decisions can be. So, here we go!

1. Apple Slices with Peanut Butter

                         

2. Turkey and Cheese Rollup

3. Chobani with Flaxseed

4. Blueberry Waffle

5. Fresh Veggies

These are all of the ones I usually have around my house! I get lots of ideas from all of you, so hopefully this gives you a couple simple ideas. I am going to do the "Toddler" version of this later!:)

**********************************************************

Here is something new and fun!!! Every time you see this "Little Lady Things" image pop up, I will be sharing a new "favorite thing" of mine! I hope you have as much fun looking at these as I do finding them!:) So, here is my new favorite thing:

Rachael Rays Olive Oil Dispenser = My life made easier;)
