You make key lime pie, of course!\u00a0<\/p>\n

More on that below…<\/p>\n

Happy Friyay! \u00a0This is our last weekend before summer kicks off for the babes & it is a B U S Y one. \u00a0It’s my last week of Tennessee speech before summer break. \u00a0Goodness, I’m just having a harder time saying goodbye to my kids every year. \u00a0They become so special to me. \u00a0I feel so blessed to meet them & their family & be a small part of their lives for this short time-all from the comforts of home! \u00a0How is May almost JUNE? \u00a0You guys. \u00a0It’s almost officially summer. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0MY BABIES<\/b><\/p>\n

Mostly things I want to remember about this week…sorry(but also not sorry) for all the mom details<\/span>\ud83e\udd17<\/b><\/p>\n

Conley & Baker just had their last day of MDO yesterday. \u00a0Tuesday they will go & we will meet them for their graduation…this year has flown by in so many ways. \u00a0I’m so thankful for this program & that we got to be a part of their first year. \u00a0It has been such a blessing to our family. \u00a0They had “Disney Day\/Mickey Day” & “Red, White, & Blue” day this week. \u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Cam has had a fun filled week, too. \u00a0His school is so festive-even for the last week of school & he eats it up. \u00a0They’ve had Field Day, Willy Wonka Day, Neon Day, Happy Birthday Tennessee Day, & Camping Day. \u00a0How fun is that?? \u00a0Also, I take him so early in the am…that pictures are not cool for him\ud83e\udd2a<\/p>\n

Picture overload…Haircuts, Cheese Dip, Baseball, & Build a Bear (Baker’s first trip)\u2764\ufe0f<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

CAN WE TALK ABOUT THIS MILESTONE??? BAKER’S PIGGIES??? \u00a0AND SHE WEARS THEM ALMOST ALL DAY (MOST DAYS) LOL! \u00a0And has started asking for a bow. \u00a0I’ve been waiting so long for this!<\/p>\n

FAITH<\/b><\/p>\n

I’ve been slack on learning a verse this week, but I picked a new one out this morning.<\/p>\n

It’s longer\ud83e\udd74 \u00a0I may be in trouble!<\/p>\n

“Be careful for nothing but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be known unto God and the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. \u00a0Phil 4:6-7<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n

The reoccurring theme of “grace” has been in my devotions this week. \u00a0I mean, can we really get over the fact that once we are saved, God has cleansed us from all unrighteousness forever? \u00a0FOREVER? \u00a0I don’t deserve that. \u00a0How can we ever hold a grudge with another person with such forgiveness being given to US? \u00a0I’ve been there! \u00a0And it humbles me to think that I’ve held grudges with such forgiveness being given to me. \u00a0Wow!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

ENTERTAINMENT<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

I’m loving the following podcasts during my walks- \u00a0I love my music, but I gain such a sense of \u00a0accomplishment working on my brain & physical health at the same time\ud83d\ude06\u00a0<\/p>\n

(Granted, I miss a lot of info with my Conley talks)…now those r e a l l y educate me!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

These are all so good-health, work, & faith based-found all on Spotify \ud83d\udc95<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

ALSO-THIS BETTER NOT BE A JOKE!\ud83d\ude0d<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/a><\/div>\n

Why is it this time of year that I always get SO EXCITED ABOUT FALL & HALLOWEEN!? \ud83d\udc7b\ud83c\udf41<\/p>\n

HOME<\/b><\/p>\n

I’m going to share our bedroom! \u00a0It is by no means finished…I still have a list of things to do one day-but we at least have some color & some sort of bedding that is beginning to capture my vision. \u00a0I’ve got to get two more picture frames for above the bed so don’t let that throw you! \u00a0When you talk Cade into hanging something…you get what you get & you don’t pitch a fit.<\/i><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

We got some “sad” house news yesterday. \u00a0We ordered new living room furniture in January, that was supposed to be delivered in February. \u00a0That got pushed back to mid May. \u00a0Here we are mid-May-& now it has been pushed back to mid-June\ud83d\ude22 \u00a0We have holes in our couch LOL #boys. \u00a0I’m so ready for this to come! \u00a0Also, I can’t get Cade interested in hanging lighting fixtures until it comes…SO…there’s that, too!<\/span><\/p>\n

Homemade Key Lime Pie-\u00a0<\/b>it’s just my favorite. \u00a0And I’m pretty sure it’s my kids favorite, too. \u00a0They loved helping me make this one, & while I said I wanted to find the best recipe…<\/p>\n

1. \u00a0I don’t know how it can get much better than this<\/a> one. (The only thing I added was cinnamon to the crust mixture.)<\/div>\n

2. \u00a0And I don’t know if it is going to be a conducive factor to trying to be healthy, to always have one on hand. \u00a0Every couple of weekends? \u00a0Maybe. \u00a0Everyday? \u00a0No.\u00a0<\/p>\n
