Seashells
I made a mini breakfast casserole this morning, based on things I just happened to have on hand already. The last five eggs, a mix of two cheeses, and some of the good bacon bits. And it turned out yummy and was just enough.

Title Wave & Bingo
Went through the Starbucks drive-thru this morning as a Friday treat, which was a free treat for me since I had gift card money in my app. Today I tried the toasted coconut & ube macchiato, which was very pretty, but honestly I just didn’t love it all that much.

Survivor Watch Party!
This morning was rough at our house, trying to get everyone ready on time. Emerson was too tired from yesterday, and barely mad it out the door (and not without a few tears). And they were late leaving, so they had to take Emmie to school first, since it’s a little more important for her to be on time. So just a quick picture in the truck (which Dave is still graciously letting us borrow this week!), before dropping Emerson off.

Jacksonville Zoo Field Trip
Emerson and I were up before the crack of dawn, and stopping by the gas station for waters and pop-tarts (that we forgot at home), and made it to Gilchrist by 6am. A quick (and relatively quiet) 2.5-hour bus ride to Jacksonville, and we were at the zoo for the day! Unfortunately, it rained on us pretty much the whole time, but we had ponchos, and an umbrella, and we made the most of it, and the kids barely even noticed. The stingrays were the very first exhibit, and getting to touch them was a very exciting way to kick things off!

Walking the Dog
I took not one single photo today, which is literally the weirdest. But Emmie went back to school, and Addie went with Nana, and Jeff went to jury duty,d got dismissed around noon. I actually had a very cliched Monday, with about five to seven random mostly-minor inconveniences, like rain and a broken umbrella and needing gas in the car. (One not-so-minor one was a missing debit card; luckily there were no fraud/weird charges, but I still had to cancel and order a new one. All of which is bad timing for the cashless Jax zoo field trip I’m chaperoning with Emmie tomorrow, and I don’t use credit cards anymore…)
Anyways, the good news is that all of that stuff truly is minor, and I made it through the day. And Pennie is doing better! Jeff was able to pick her up tonight and bring her home. She’s on meds for a while, and she can’t go out to play unsupervised (lest she eat something to make her sick), so we have to walk her for potty breaks. While I cleaned up dinner tonight, Jeff and the girls took her for a walk, and they were all so happy to be out and about, and happy to have her home!

Easter Sunday 2026
We reported to church nice and early at 7am this morning, for Jeff and I to serve through two different Easter services. We were exhausted, but we made it! After church, we got to visit the tiny baby animals we brought in today, with baby goats and baby chicks! And there are a lot of these photos included, but there was just SO much cuteness happening!!

Started off my day with delicious avocado toast on my keto bread, with parm, EBTB seasoning, and a tiny drizzle of hot honey. Soo yumm. I made of can of biscuits for the rest of the fam, and they just ate them piping hot with some butter.

Bookstore Browsing
The girls were both out of school today, so I also took the day off work to hang out with them. And we had the best, most chill day together. Cereal for breakfast, morning playtime, and then lunch at home too. We finally got dressed around noon, to head out for a few errands.

Swamp Tuna
Cute girls, on their last day of school for this week. Addie wore a new outfit today from Walmart, and I’m obsessed with it! So cute, such fun colors, the ruffles on the shorts!

Fancy Dresses
Today was class picture day for Emerson at school, and she wanted to wear a fancy dress to be fancy for photos. And Addison also chose to wear a fancy dress today too. So they were both looking their best for school this morning!
