Stopped by my dad’s for the night Friday night on our way home from Missouri. Left there with 2 dozen eggs Saturday morning. Cooked almost half of them last night for dinner. 🥚🍳👍

Rowyn said the city we built with blocks today was “gi-massive.” I guess that means extra, extra big. 😊

I’m mom of a birthday boy this week.

Surprised him with coffee alongside his choice of eggs and venison sausage for breakfast.

He requested alligator at Prejean’s for lunch, so we went and they celebrated him too. 🎇

After baseball practice, we had pancakes and more sausage (by request) + gifts.

More Recent Thrift Finds

I’ve finally been going through a box of stuff I’ve collected over the past 3-ish weeks and cleaning and washing things and putting them away. And I’ve decided I like documenting what I’ve found. It also looks pretty all together on my Pinterest board. 😊

These 3 items were from 3 different places. And cities, actually. Paid approx $4 total.

The basket is for who knows what. Might use it to hold some photo albums or Chatbooks. Might use it for gifting. Endless options.

I think I’ll really use the sun tea jar for sun tea. I’ve wanted to try it for a while. It’s such a happy looking jar.

My first thought with the spice cabinet was to remove the door and use it as art (I LOVE the font of the words, Herbs & Spices) and use the shelf part as an open wall shelf for one of the kids’ rocks or other curiosities. Or maybe Lego people.

A wooden table holds an empty glass jar, a small woven basket, and a wooden herb and spice cabinet.
