:: Weekend Lovelies ::

I’m just dreamin’ of Hawaii over here… reminiscing of my trip to Maui {which seems like a distant memory at this point}! I came across this print {which you see above ^^^} and loved it! You should see the others! Anyway… after a long week {with my husby away at work for days and days on end}, I’m also dreaming of warm, laid-back summer days, eating alfresco,  family getaways, and gatherings with close friends and family! How about you? Any fun plans for the summer that you’re daydreaming about? 

This weekend for lovelies, we have a fun mix of pretty summer things! We hope that you’re as smitten with them, as we are! In case you missed this week’s posts… you can take a peek at them here and here! {xo}

Almond Butter Honey Yogurt Dip

Almond Butter Honey Yogurt Dip :: Almond Butter Honey Yogurt Dip ::

Summer is approaching… and pretty soon you may start feeling like you’re seriously living in the kitchen with the kids home! Having four children, I do in fact spend what feels like half of my day preparing healthy meals and snacks {especially since we homeschool}. 

This Almond Butter Honey Yogurt Dip is a healthy and delicious snack idea that I got from Weelicious! The recipe only calls for three ingredients with an optional fourth, that I’ve added in. I eliminated use of refined sugars by using raw, unprocessed honey and sweetening it further with one ripe banana.     [Read more…]

The Big Number 5

My baby is turning the big number 5

:: The Big Number 5 ::

I don’t know whether to cry or smile at the fact that my baby is turning The Big Number 5 today! Haven’t we figured out how to freeze time yet? I really wish we could, as I would keep her at this age! She is in love with so many things right now.  She is our sweet heart and makes friends with everyone she meets. She definitely has stolen our hearts.  

The Big Number 5. My baby is turning 5 today!

Madeline was born on Easter Sunday.  She came into this world with the sweetest disposition.  I truly believe God sent her to us just the way she is. She has the patience of a saint.  Her birth came right after we had started a busy speech and ABA therapy schedule for Mason.  We were running around to various places, and she would go along for the ride content in her baby carrier or car seat.  She has always been right by my side.  She has smiled, listened, and held my hand tight along the way.  She understands and “gets” her brother and looks up to him very much.  Everything he does, she wants to do right there with him. Madeline has been our rock, our happiness, and our girl! I can’t believe she is 5.  [Read more…]

It’s spring break for us this week, which means the snacking will begin at approximately 9 a.m.  Hence I have to work ahead and think of some healthier snack choices that are fun and exciting during our week off.  This Strawberry Orange Banana Popsicle recipe has to be the easiest recipe that I know.  My kids love these in the summer time, but we are on a stay cation at home, meaning that momma has to be a little more creative and these Strawberry Orange Banana Popsicles are just that.  Sweet yet healthy, they are sure to be a hit on warm day.
