Thursdayness

I still sometimes can’t believe we have 5 kiddos.  This parenting/foster parenting gig is wild.  And shout out to our church for providing dinner almost every Sunday night.  Makes our night just a little easier with dinner off the to-do list.

Speaking of lots of kids and food…we buy sooooo many eggs…about 3 dozen a week usually.  Each week I go ahead and boil an entire dozen to kick off our week.  Kids and adults alike can grab them for breakfasts or lunches.  Anyone local sell eggs I could buy?!?!?!

It’s teacher appreciation week and we’ve had little goodies and treats each day for our teachers.  Pickle jars filled with Kroger flowers…check and check.

THESE cookies were legit good.  I don’t even normally like coconut, but I’ve jumped on the coconut train and refuse to get off.  So yummy!

Yesterday was May the 4th…May the 4th be with you.  The force is crazy strong with these two.

We’re almost to our 1/2 marathon…only about 2 weeks left until race day.  We’re in the long run stage so 8-10 mile long runs each week.  Some people thought they would surely die from such runs and yet, they are still alive.  It’s a miracle.  I feel like a big dork, but I am so excited for my two newbie 1/2 marathon running friends…they are going to kill this…and I get to cross the finish line with them.  I’ll probably cry because…again…big dork.

My Noonday Collection show is coming up Thursday May 19th 5:30-8:30.  Hope you’ve marked your calendars.  Would love for you to join us.  I’ll feed you crazy good food and drinks and you will laugh…guaranteed!  Plus, you get to check out all the Noonday goods…in person.  I cannot wait.  If you can’t make the party you can still make a purchase online HERE…just make sure Ashley Mills is listed as your ambassador and Laura Kelley as your hostess.  And today they released a little summer line.  The Chennai Crossbody is whoa!!!  So adorable.

I gave Solomon’s teacher the Half Moon Necklace because A) It’s ridiculously awesome and B) It’s made in Ethiopia.  I saw her wearing it yesterday and it only confirmed what I already felt in my heart…I’m going to be purchasing this necklace.  It’s crazy good looking.

On Monday’s I work at our kids’ school.  I always leave feeling all the feels.  This week I did a fun spring art project with Hudson’s class.  Next week I’m doing the same in Harper and Solomon’s classes.  If I haven’t sung the praises of our teachers and school staff enough…let me sing some more.  They are simply amazing.  This place makes my heart beat faster and my head dream bigger and my arms love wider.  It’s such an honor to be apart of this incredible school doing so much in our community and for these precious kiddos.

And today I discovered these pictures.  Be still my heart.  I am one blessed momma for sure.

Happy Thursday!
