My Week in Pictures XXXVII

I’m checking in quite excited this Monday for many reasons! It’s not only my last week of work before my winter break, but it’ll be cut short! I leave Wednesday to go see my brother graduate as a marine from boot camp. The drive takes about 13 hours one way but we are driving down with my sister and her little family which should be fun.  It’ll be a busy week but so worth it! See what I was up to all last week in today’s Week in Pictures!

Monday was my birthday so I obviously stopped at Starbucks on my way to work for my free beverage!

After a long day at work, John took me to the Cheesecake Factory for dinner. We brought our dessert home and ate it in bed while watching TV.

Tuesday was my school’s holiday concert. The kids did great!

John ran errands on Thursday night so I took it as a chance to relax and eat soup while catching up on This Is Us.

I got to see my nephews on Friday. Tommy loves taking pictures with my phone and he snapped this cute one of Joey and I.

I caved and went to the Body Care Day dale at Bath & Body Works on Saturday. I got some awesome things for such a low price! I even got some stuff for gifts ;)

We were out a majority of the day looking at cars for John so I relaxed later on with a face mask. I got this one from Dollar Tree a couple weeks ago!

John’s parents brought us to Maggiano’s for dinner to celebrate my birthday a little late. I ordered my favorite moscato mojito :)

Sunday was another mix of getting things done but also relaxing on the couch with the cats.

I managed to finally peel myself off the couch and go for a run. It was nice enough for shorts!

I wrapped up my day with packing for our trip and using this amazing stress relief body scrub!

Question of the Day: What is something fun you did this past weekend?

My Week in Pictures XXXVI

Hi everybody! I am coming at you awake and refreshed after a relaxing 4 day break. It was a much needed break and I'm now counting down the days until winter break! I may also just be counting down the days because that is also how long it is until my brother comes home!

I realized it has been over a month since I shared a week in pictures. Although this past week wasn't anything exciting, here it is anyway :)


Of course I brought my medal to school on Monday and let my students pass it around. They got a kick out of the bell!

I also wore my race shirt because why not? ;)

Rolling my legs was a MUST throughout the week!

We made cute little hand turkeys in school on Tuesday!

Wednesday was a half day due to the holiday so we let the students watch a few different Thanksgiving movies.

We also gave them their own Charlie Brown feast!

I spent Wednesday night baking cookies for both our family's Thanksgiving dinner's the next day.

Thursday started off nice and relaxing with Jax before I got a burst of energy to go clean the garage.

I got to see this little turkey for his first Thanksgiving!

Joey and Tommy didn't disappoint with their name tags this year :)

Somebody got ahold of my phone and took a ton of selfies on it...

My sister and I took pictures with a photo of my brother since he couldn’t be there.

On Friday we decided to go out later and do a little bit of shopping. We didn’t really need anything but we had fun, especially in the kitchen store in the outlets!

Saturday night called for Red Robin and Ticket to Ride with our friends!

We had a lazy Sunday morning. Eventually we made waffles. We’ve been loving Kodiak Cakes lately!

We spent most of the day lying around while also getting some things done around the house. We had a cheese tray for lunch!

My Week in Pictures XXXV

Hi everybody! I can't believe Monday is actually here. I could've totally used another day to relax. Luckily, after this week I have a full week off for NJEA Convention week so I just have to survive this week and then I'm free :) Last week was equally busy and relaxing. Today I'm sharing what I was up to all week!


Monday was the day after the Hershey Half so I treated myself to a chai latte on my way to work!

On Tuesday I drank strawberry wine while making pierogies for dinner. We had both been craving them for awhile.

The boys are really starting to like each other :)

Ashley, Tommy, and Joey joined our Wednesday night Chick-Fil-A date.

I started Friday off with a Dunkin' pumpkin iced coffee. I can't get enough of them!

Friday night called for relaxing and watching TV with some kitty snuggles :)

We also baked some cookies as treat.

We started our Saturday off with a workout class and grabbed protein shakes on the way out.

When we got home, I baked some pumpkin chip cookies that my friend Maureen shared with me!

I went for a nice run later on.

We made pancakes as usual on Sunday and I went with a Halloween theme!

Question of Day: What was a highlight of your weekend?

My Week in Pictures XXXIV

Hello and happy Monday! We had a slightly busy weekend so an extra day would've been appreciated. But here we are, on Monday morning so I suppose I have no choice but to start the week haha. I hope everyone has a great day! Keep reading to see what I was up to all week!


My Monday started off with another lovely drawing of me by a student.

I finally mailed a letter to my brother on Tuesday morning!

It was fire prevention week so the kids had a presentation by the local fire department.

That afternoon I stopped by my parent's to see Tommy and Joey. Tommy loves auntie snuggles!

That night John and I went to the gym as per usual. I've been doing a lot of my runs their lately.

That night I was surprised to see Jax in the cat tree and Dexter okay with it.

On Thursday I had wanted an iced coffee but decided against it. Then my coworker came in with a pumpkin iced latte for me anyway :)

I met up with my sister at the park to play with the boys. Both enjoyed it!

Saturday morning started out with our last long run of half marathon training. Tommy joined!

We headed off to Lancaster later that day for pumpkin picking with my friends from college.

We took advantage of being in the area and stopped by El Serrano for dinner. It was our favorite place to go while I was in school.

Jax had the right idea on Sunday morning. It was great to relax!

We spent the afternoon at Top Golf with John's family for his one cousin's 30th birthday. It was so fun!
