You guys we even have a present we’re watching proper now!! I swear Ryan and I am going months and months between reveals however after I heard about Break Level, I discussed it to Ryan and we gave it a shot after the boys have been in mattress final weekend. Ryan will watch any sports-related documentary and I admittedly was extra interested by a tennis documentary as a result of I had simply completed studying Carrie Soto is Back which principally turned me right into a tennis professional in a single day. We’ve solely made it by two episodes up to now but it surely’s been attention-grabbing. I hope the documentary will share extra in regards to the athletes’ coaching in future episodes but it surely’s nonetheless cool to see what goes by the minds of a handful of the most effective tennis gamers on the planet as they strategy big matches.
At the moment Reapplying: Laneige Lip Mask

The idea sounded nice: Apply a thick smear of this lip masks to your lips earlier than mattress, let it sink in in a single day and awake to smooth, hydrated lips. It took all of 1 utility of these items for me to adore it. First, it tastes incredible. The berry taste is subtly candy and pleasant. Second, it feels superb on my lips… so superb that I’ve began carrying it round with me in my bag as a result of I don’t wish to solely use it at evening time. The tiniest quantity goes a good distance and I’m lovinggg these items!
At the moment Impressed By: Ryan’s growing haircut abilities!
For the previous few months, Ryan has been slicing the boys’ hair. Each month he picks up new tips and abilities and whereas he’ll be the primary to say their haircuts don’t appear to be they’re achieved by an expert, I feel he’s been doing an superior job!! Plus, something that saves us from popping into Nice Clips each 6 weeks for a trim seems like a superb factor to me. I’m hoping it’s one thing he’ll proceed to do and revel in as a result of the boys appear to suppose Dad haircuts are the best and I feel they give the impression of being fairly cute, too!!
At the moment Can’t Imagine: I’ll have FOUR mornings to myself this coming fall.
I simply submitted preschool registrations for the autumn and Rhett and Ryder will probably be attending preschool 4 mornings per week. Chase will probably be in second grade so he’ll be at school Monday by Friday and I can’t imagine I’ll have 4 3.5-hour stretches of time to myself 4 mornings per week starting in September. Whaaaat is that this magic!?
I’ll be utilizing this time largely to work on this weblog however dannng I’m simply so pumped for some constant mornings to myself. I additionally know 3.5 hours will fly by however you higher imagine I’ve mastered the power to pump out a bunch of labor in a minimal period of time since having youngsters. the saying, “In order for you one thing achieved, give it to a busy particular person?” Properly, I wholeheartedly agree with that as a result of mothers and busy individuals by some means simply how find out how to get it achieved. 4 3.5 hour stretches of time the place no little one wants me throughout the week sounds magical to my mind that presently appears to reside in a state of multitasking and child chaos.
At the moment Crafting: Perler bead creations
Affectionately known as “melty beads” in our home, our massive youngsters can’t get sufficient of Perler beads currently. They’ve created the whole lot from ocean animals and online game controllers to patterned shapes, canines, birds, vehicles and extra with this stuff. I additionally oddly discover this exercise stress-free and can be part of within the enjoyable, too, so it’s been an effective way to spend some calm high quality time with the boys.
Additionally, I owe an enormous thanks to Becca for recommending Biggie Beads to me! Rhett at all times tries to do melty beads together with his massive brothers however can’t actually make actual creations but and Biggie Beads seem to be a a lot better match for him. They’re the identical Perler beads our boys love solely BIGGER! I ordered some for Rhett to strive together with some patterns he can observe they usually’re set to reach right this moment!
At the moment Studying: The Address by Fiona Davis
I’ve been immersed on the planet of thrillers currently however historic fiction will at all times have my coronary heart. I’ve liked Fiona Davis’ historic fiction novels previously and simply started studying The Handle earlier this week. It’s somewhat gradual to start out however I can already really feel it choosing up steam so my hopes are excessive!
At the moment Making: Perfect M&M Cookies
We first tried these cookies when considered one of Chase’s associates introduced them to our home throughout a playdate over the vacations they usually blew us away. I’ve made so many M&M cookies through the years they usually’ve all fallen somewhat in need of my expectations however THESE are incredible!!! We’ve made them a handful of instances and whereas I do want them with mini M&Ms just like the recipe requires, they work with common M&Ms as properly which I’ve achieved just a few instances after I wish to use seasonal coloured M&Ms. One necessary be aware: The dough looks like it is perhaps somewhat dry and crumbly once you combine it however preserve mixing!!! The dough will finally come collectively and develop into tremendous thick. One little tip: I like to recommend under-baking them a bit for optimum tastiness.
At the moment Sipping: Yogi Egyptian Licorice Mint Tea
Aka my all-time favourite tea.
Random tea-related story: One evening when Chase couldn’t sleep, he got here downstairs to seek out Ryan making himself a mug of Sleepytime tea with our electric kettle. Ryan made Chase a mug, too, and he sipped it whereas we learn Harry Potter collectively. Chase will now ask for “tea and tales” after his little brothers go to mattress if he can’t sleep. (He even makes the signal of the letter “T” together with his fingers and winks at us once we tuck him in concurrently Ryder on Friday or Saturday nights as a result of he is aware of these are nights he’s allowed to remain up somewhat later.) It’s cute and by some means makes Chase seem to be somewhat child and a young person suddenly to me.
