Hello, Friday! I'm so glad you're here!
My week started out a bit rough. I woke up on Monday morning feeling so nauseated. I actually pulled back my hair because I thought things were going to escalate. I had a brief moment of panic because it reminded me so much of the severe morning sickness I get when I'm pregnant.
It definitely wasn't that! Liam ended up sleeping until 12:30 PM and when he woke up, he just wouldn't smile. That is always a clear indicator that something is wrong! I assumed he had the same thing I did judging by how he was acting and how he looked. Those eyes, though...
Thankfully, we both started feeling completely fine a few hours later,
just in time to go to the funeral home to say our final goodbyes to my
great uncle.
The rest of our week was very busy with very little sleep (for me), but we made it to the weekend!
Here's what I'm loving this week:
{ONE}
I love Summer! It's my absolute favorite time of the year. I definitely need to move to a state where it's warm year round! I'm also loving this sweet boy...just look at that face!!! I
shared this picture on Instagram yesterday along with a bit of my heart. I will never understand how human beings can be so hateful and judgemental.

I have an addiction to the Target Dollar Spot! I can't go into Target without browsing through that section first. Even though school just let out a little over 2 weeks ago, all the Back to School stuff was in the Dollar Spot. I couldn't resist stocking up!
I found adorable Back To School Chalkboards for the kids to hold on the first day of school. I'm still on the hunt for one more!
I bought some dry erase learning boards and a To Do Chart for Lily.
I also bought a bunch of learning items which I plan on using for another fun project! That post will be going up on the blog next week.
{THREE}
My kids (and then some) are having so much fun with
Camp Mom this Summer! Here's a sneak peek at something we did this week. It involved turning bars of Ivory soap into "clouds." I'll be sharing this idea along with our full week of activities on Tuesday morning!

Have you ever heard of
Watchitude? Dylan and Lexie LOVE these slap watches! Watchitude generously sent over 2 slap watches for my big kids to wear (review coming soon). To say that they love them is an understatement! They both wear them 24/7, and now Lily is begging for one. Here's a little glimpse of their awesomeness!
{FIVE}
I recently won an incredible giveaway! In addition to several other great prizes, I won a
Newlie diaper bag.
This bag has been on my wishlist for a few months and when I entered the giveaway, I never expected I would win. But I did, it's here and I LOVE it!

I love the fact that my kids have such big hearts! Last night, Lexie ran into the house screaming that Dylan found a baby animal in our yard. When I walked out, he had the tiniest little critter cradled in his hands. It was soaking wet from the rain and shaking from cold and fear. I told Dylan to let it go, so he sat it back down in the yard. It just sat on the ground, shaking. It was so helpless. As a mom, this broke my heart.
Lexie, who is my nurturer, insisted that we had to save it. I gently explained that it was very young and would probably die. I swear my kid is wise beyond her years. She stared up at me and asked, "Is it better for it to die warm, dry and safe or die cold, scared and alone?" I couldn't argue against that.
So we currently have a little mouse living in a spare hamster cage. I told the kids not to get their hopes up, but wouldn't you know it? The tiny thing is warm and dry, and is eating and drinking!
So that's the end of our crazy week!
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! What do you have planned?
LET'S CONNECT!
