Hello Monday and Hello Les Mis Tech Week! (March 18, 2024)

 



Hi Friends and Happy Monday!  Sarah and I are so glad you are here!  If you blogged about your weekend, we hope you will link up with us!


This was our calm before our Spring storm....starting this week it is Tech Week for Les Mis and our spring is nonstop between school activities- performances- dance comps- softball- Easter- Birthdays-you name it....oh...and maybe a prom?  Ha!


Here are some glimpses of JOY from our little weekend.....


Friday


I guess there is a prom in our future?  Oh boy...sneak peak of the dress...very proud of Rob...he is staying very calm...ha!



Gift from a new friend- fellow Jesus Lover and  Hockey Mom :)

 

Did you know that 9 year olds are into "skin care"??  Well we can thank Tik Tok for this new trend...


 

 

Saturday


It was a whole lot of getting errands and organizing done.  Even got to snag this sweet girl a spring outfit at Hollister- when did she get so big?  Eeek!


Diana went to dance and then work.


The WHS Junior Prom was Saturday night....we got to see Alexis all dressed up before she was off...such a special time! (Cass's daughter and my Goddaughter!)










and some of our other favorite juniors


Ella (Beth Ann's Daughter)





and Sam (Lea's Daughter) who was crowned PROM QUEEN!




That night, Rob headed out to a gig and I covered the homestead...Diana's boyfriend came over again...they are just so happy...it squishes my heart!

 

Remi, however, not impressed when he is confined in my office ;)


 


 

Sunday

 

Well...we aren't even Irish but in the interest of keeping all magic alive...just a little longer...the leprechaun came ;)


 He even "peed" in our toilet!?


It was time for mass and then I did a quick grocery shopping...Diana worked again and my parents met me at Village Ban for coffee again.  Rob and Eva headed to softball.

 

Someone was St. Patty's Stylin' for Softball ;)


 I did some cooking and organizing for the week!

 

Then we headed to WHS to help finish building the set for Les Mis!

 


 





and check out Little Cosette's Head Shot!



Last night, as I was snagging our tickets for Eva's "Finding Nemo Jr." show, Daddy started building Diana a new bed as part of her room refresh (that she is funding btw)




She was quite pleased with the progress.  She still needs to do some de-cluttering and we have to paint and maybe add a new lamp :)

 

That's a wrap!  What were you all up to?

Friday Favorites (March 15, 2024)

 





We made it...Praise God!  Sharing some faves from our week...

 


A Week of Networking


Two events in the same week?  Ahh!  I am wiped.  Monday night was the Granite State Professional Womens' Networking event and Tuesday night was the MAHRA Trivia Night- great opportunities to connect with other professionals in the area and get my name out there- fun but exhausting for sure!










Election Day


Election Day in our town on Tuesday meant no school for the kiddos.  Though I worked, I let Eva have a friend over and at lunchtime we went to vote and have a quick lunch...love that I can still be present :)

 

My Girl Shannon running for re-election on our school board- she was unopposed- yeah!





Signs of Spring?


I think yes...sidewalk chalk is definitely one of those signs :)






 
GBS Band/Orchestra Concert



Last night we got to see and hear Eva show off what she has learned on the viola so far...so so cute at this age...and it sounded ok/kinda good?!  HA!!









That's a wrap!  Have a wonderful weekend friends XO

Thankful Thursday

 




Hi Friends.  Today I am joining Jennifer for her Thankful Thursday linkup and sharing some things I have been grateful for recently...sometimes when life is challenging...and you are tired ...and still fighting to have hope...it is a great exercise to stop and think about the things you are grateful for.  As hard as it may be to feel grateful sometimes...it is a healthy practice that can truly bring you JOY


So here it goes...



Taxes




That they are over...ha...and that we don't owe too too much....even though I was hoping for a refund...I have to be grateful that the number is doable this year





Work

 



Although I am working with some really tough clients right now and have nothing to show for it yet, I am grateful that I am so busy and that these organizations are trusting me to find their talent.  I know I will be more grateful once I make a few more placements...keep reminding myself that I am happiest when I don't have a moment to breathe





My Girls



When my girls are happy or when they are doing what they love, that makes me happy....and I am so grateful that I get to witness their joy and as I always say, I am grateful I get to raise these two humans....it is a true privilege 

 

 

 

Weather

 


 

Longer Days- More Sun- No More Snow- from my lips to God's ears- just can't wait for it to be consistently in the 60's and 70's :)

 

 

 

 

My Village




I would be lost if I didn't have my family and friends to vent to- to raise kids together with- to decompress with- to make me feel like I am not alone and not crazy- it is a true blessing that I never take for granted




My Hubby




Best teammate ever- thankful that I don't have to do the tough stuff alone
