Happy Friday, friends! I’m keeping today’s post short and sweet because I’ve got a Christmas movie to start 🙂

Yesterday one of my coworkers sent out an email that she had made cider and had cookies for us in the teacher mailroom. I walked in to get a cup of cider and saw her set up. SO CUTE! And in the background, classical music was playing. I know I’ve said this before, but I truly love the people I work with. Her thoughtfulness made a boring Thursday special.

If you’re looking for a good toddler sippy cup or even a great transition cup, these are the best! I used these for Harrison and now Banks gets a cup of water when he eats table food for a meal. He loves drinking out of this cup, so I’m very hopeful that the transition away from a bottle when he turns one will be very easy.

Last weekend was youth hunt weekend in Alabama, so Harrison got to go hunting for the first time. He had a blast! There were so many kids at Dustin’s hunting club that he had a lot of friends to play with in between hunts. And while they were hunting…

Banks and I were hanging out at home taking it easy (or as easy as Banks would let me LOL). Banks decided on Saturday that he would NOT be taking his normal afternoon nap–which is the nap where I was going to nap–so I was exhausted by the time Saturday night rolled around 🙂

Okay, that’s it!! I’ll be back next Monday with a gift guide for y’all! In the meantime, I hope y’all have a wonderful weekend!!!

Happy Friday a little later than normal :). Instead of writing this last night like normal, I was asleep before 9 pm and this morning I’ve enjoyed a slow morning with my family before writing this–much needed!

As always, I’m sharing a few FAVORITES with y’all today!

Sleeping babies will forever be my FAVORITE! These are just two pictures I snapped this past week, but I love looking at them sleeping–they are so peaceful and no one is crying or acting ugly LOL

My sister, who is 37 weeks pregnant, went to my OB appointment with me on Wednesday! It was my 20 week anatomy scan and I’m glad she came with me in order to ask about things like placenta location (I definitely would not have thought about that ha!). I also joked that she could go ahead and go into labor because she’d be at a doctor’s office full of OBs and right next to a hospital. Everything went great at my appointment and we got great pictures of Merritt!

We had our annual Veterans Day program at school on Wednesday! I really REALLY love the people I work with! I’ve had people ask me before how I’ve taught 7th grade my whole career (because we all know 7th graders are veeeeeeerrrrry interesting) and I always tell them it’s because I teach with people who have become my family. If I taught anywhere else, I don’t think I could have made it as long. But the faculty at my school are more than just coworkers–we’re family– and I know it’s not like that at all work places.

There’s a traveling coffee truck in my town that I am obsessed with! Their coffee tastes soooo good. Yesterday our district had a virtual day for students and it was a professional day for teachers. The coffee truck came to school and each teacher got 1 cup of coffee paid for! Because I’m only drinking one cup of coffee a day, I skipped my normal morning coffee at home and waited until I got to school–it was such a treat to drink my coffee during the faculty meeting :). I ordered the marble mocha this time, and it was mocha with white chocolate….so good!

I ordered these Uggs not too long ago and they should be delivered Monday at the latest. I felt like I needed a super comfortable shoe to wear around this winter, and I’ve heard really great things about this shoe. It says indoor and outdoor slipper, but I plan on wearing it out only. I can’t wait for these to arrive!

I hope y’all have a great weekend and Happy Veterans Day to all who served! My dad served in the Air Force, and I’m thankful for his service!
