Lunch Box Countdown

May 12, 2017May 13, 2017

Ever since John was in Kindergarten we’ve had a lunch box m&m countdown on the number of days left till summer.

I use a snack sized zip top bag and a sharpie to write on it. I do ask them to keep the bag in the lunch box so that I can just refill it each day. I usually start when we are a couple of weeks out from summer.

It’s sweet and simple – just the kind of countdown I can handle at this crazy fun point in the school year!

May Flowers Out Front

May 10, 2017May 9, 2017

I usually put my Brownyn Hanahan monogrammed flower pot hanger out the first of May but wanted to leave the cross up until after first communion. I snapped a few pics of our cheery Spring entry while waiting on the bus. The lighting is a little odd, but you get the gist :-) My ferns… Read More

Whit’s First Communion

May 9, 2017May 9, 2017

We celebrated Whit’s first communion on the most beautiful day last weekend!

Sunday Supper {Lemon Fusilli with Arugula}

May 7, 2017May 7, 2017

This pasta dish has soared to the top of our favorite Sunday Suppers! While it’s pretty heavy on the heavy cream, it is chocked full of veggies. So one offsets the other, right?! Honey grilled chicken breasts the night before and we sliced those up and served them on the side. In addition to just… Read More

The Lilly Hammock

May 6, 2017May 7, 2017

I don’t know what took me so long but I’ve finally been enjoying the Lilly hammock that I had to risk life and limb to get at the Lilly x Target event two years back. Other than the rain late last week, it’s been perfect weather to be outside. We’ve been doing a ton of… Read More
