Closed out the Fall ball season for my bud (and Coach Matt (aka Daddy)) yesterday. Glad for it to have been and glad for it to be complete now. ⚾️❤️

Recent Thrift Finds | October 2025

These are actually more accurately recent-ish thrift finds. I think from a month or so ago. We’ll say early October. Not that that matters anyway.

Got a football for $1.

A bag of pens for, I think, $0.50. Maybe $1.00. It had Sharpies, a Microtel, tons of colorful Ink Joys, a few nice Zebra pens, several branded pens, plus some junk stuff.

A small crystal bucket (that you can’t see very well in the photo) for $2.

A picture frame for either $0.25 or $0.50.

4 books for $1.30.

And a map of Rome for $0.25.

A counter displays a football, a frame, a jar of colored markers and pens, various books, and a folded map.

Had a busy wedding weekend. For my baby sister! It was a happy and beautiful celebration. And I’m excited for the next chapter for her (and our family). ❤️

Started the day yesterday (and spent most of the rest of it) outside (in this cool and windy Louisiana weather) with school (and coffee). So refreshing.

Field trip to a local news station yesterday. The weather guy showed the kids his whole setup. Their favorite part was clicking through options for the green screen and pretending to do the weather. Or just dancing and seeing themselves on the monitor. 😄

We celebrated my boy’s birthday last week! He chose everything for the day! Homemade waffles, whipped cream, and strawberries for breakfast. Coffee out. A little shopping at Target (he got a LEGO from us and his sis ❤️) and Academy. Lunch out. Family game time. And Cajun pasta at home for dinner. 🎉

Ro made the menu for the week. 😂

She did get Mac ‘n’ cheese and gumbo. And chicken and gravy is on the menu for next week. 😄

A weekly meal planner on a countertop lists dishes like Mac 'n' Cheese and Gumbo for each day.

Project clean out and reorganize what we call the playroom (but it’s actually more of a craft room/library with a Pac-Man arcade ha) started yesterday. Just pulling stuff out makes a HUGE difference (wish I had taken a true “before” photo). Planning on going through every book, bin, etc. though.

Today, we went to a kids market day where my kids loaded up on allllll kinds of freebies + supported a sweet friend’s little booth. Then, we ate boudin for lunch. Turned on college football this afternoon. Then had homemade pizza for dinner and pumpkin bread for dessert.
