A little Life Lately post is up on my blog today with some updates on what the Gimeno family has been up to.

It’s been a busy and full season of life and I’ve been pulled in different directions, that’s a moms life, right?!? But I’m back at it with my blog, however, it will be a more modified schedule per some updates I explain in todays post.

Hope everyone is having a great week and soaking up these last few weeks of the school year! I don’t know about you but we are ready for Summer!!☀️

Happy Tuesday, friends!! Up on my blog today is a new cooking with kids post!

Tyler and I had a great time in the kitchen making a savory Hoagie Grilled Cheese that the entire family can enjoy.

If you’re looking to change up your dessert for movie night, we highly recommend making this Sweet Strawberry Popcorn!

Get in the kitchen and make some memories and good food with your kiddos! Enjoy!

Happy Valentine’s Day!🌹I hope everyone felt the love today whether it was with your special person, your kids, as a family or with your besties!

Do I enjoy Valentine’s Day, yes I do. I love celebrating all holidays. I mean I’m not going to turn down a day to show my boys they are loved 🥰

Do you celebrate Valentine’s Day by going on a adults only date or celebrate as a family?

Working from home has its perks, I surprised Jason with a romantic breakfast at home and it was perfect to have this alone time while the boys were at school. We celebrated as a family too. Jason and I cooked together and made our boys a steak dinner. And we enjoyed dinner in the dining room to feel more fancy.

Happy Valentine’s Day, friends❣️

I’m starting a new post series called, Cooking With Kids!

My boys have recently taken an interest in wanting to learn how to cook. And I’m loving this bonding experience with them.

The plan is to cook our way through a kids cookbook by The Food Network, called “The Big, Fun Kids Cookbook”.
They pick out two recipes to make each week.

Last week we made French Grilled Cheese and Apple Fries + Nut Butter Dip!

Head on over to my blog to grab these recipes to make with your kids and let the fun memories of cooking with your kids begin!

I’m still reminiscing back to our family ski trip in Utah over the holidays!🎿❄️⛷It was our most memorable ski trip to date and so many memories were made! Utah was so beautiful and good to us!

Check out my blog for recaps part 1 & 2 of our trip.

It feels good to have started a new year, even if it has taken me a bit to find my new groove 🤪 Hope everyone has a great week!

We had a Merry Christmas and I hope you did too!🎄This year has had highs and lows and I’m happy to put 2021 behind us. We are looking forward to spending the new year with family in Utah as we ring in 2022!🥳 Cheers to new beginnings for everyone in 2022!

Jason is 40!!!🥳 He joined the 40’s club on Thanksgiving while we were in Florida!

My in-laws and I threw Jason a 40th b-day party while we were in Florida too. It was awesome to have family from 4 different states come in and 5 of Jay’s best buddies and their families join in on the celebration too!

For all the details of the party head on over to my blog to see the bday post. Jason is not one to be the center of attention but seeing the big smile on his face all day was happiness. Happy 40th Birthday, hubby!! We love you! 💙

Happy Friday, friends!! After school starts Fall break and we’re looking forward to an awesome week ahead of us in Florida!!

How are you celebrating Thanksgiving?

We are headed to Florida to be with all of Jason’s family, aunts & uncles all of them and we can’t wait! Best part my parents are joining us too because Jason turns the big 4-0 on Thanksgiving!! Can’t wait to spoil and celebrate my hubs 🥳

But first I have a Friday Favorites post up on the blog today…and it covers things like these pictures from Knott’s Berry Farm! None of my boys had been and I haven’t been since I was a young kid and it was so much fun! Not as crowded as say Disneyland and so many fun rides. We went to celebrate Luke’s friend Noah and I got to hang out with my friend Rebecca and we had a perfect amusement park day all together.

This week I want to be mindful of all of my wonderful blessings, I’m very thankful for all of you and the wonderful friendships and family in my life. Hope you have a great weekend!!

Happy Wednesday, friends!! Who’s ready for Fall break? 🙋🏼‍♀️ I was MIA last week because we were dealing with a cold going through our house but we are all healthy now and I’m feeling thankful my boys are back to their high energy selves!!

Up on the blog today, is a Day In The Life post! I captured what a day looks like for the Gimeno family back at the end of October leading up to Halloween.

I love to see how others do life, what their routines are and gather tips and tricks along the way. I find it interesting, lol anyone else?!?!

I hope your week is going well!!

I’m bringing back an oldie but goodie picture of my boys looking all cute in their Thanksgiving outfits! 🦃

Today up on the blog is a post on All Things Falling Into Thanksgiving!! If you are looking for fall recipes for soups & chilis, cocktails, appetizers I got you covered.

I also show you our Thanksgiving decor, our Fall & Thanksgiving book collection for kids and a simple gratitude craft to do with your kiddos.

Let’s get our homes, our hearts, and our kids ready for the season of being thankful!

I’m curious, do you skip over decorating for Thanksgiving and go straight to Christmas decor?

Recipe of the week: Pumpkin Chili! Where are my chili lovers at?? 🙋🏼‍♀️ Chili is one of my favorite meals to enjoy in the Fall!

Honestly, this might be my new favorite recipe for chili, it’s that good!!

The pumpkin flavor is mild and the toppings pair perfectly for you to enjoy every bite.

Thank you @mixandmatchmama for another delicious and easy recipe!! Now head on over to my blog to grab this recipe and add it to your meal plan! Enjoy!

Halloween was a success and we had a great time with our friends in our neighborhood!!🎃

My friend Meagan and I enjoyed putting together the Halloween feast. I loved making my spooky charcuterie board!! 💀

Hope you had a fun Halloween with your families!! We are now enjoying a slow morning because the boys school is so smart and canceled school for the day after Halloween!🙌🏻

It’s Friday, woohoo!!🎃 It’s been a fun and full week and we are pumped for the weekend!!

Ok, so do you dress up for Halloween? Some years I’m on it and some years we have a family theme but it didn’t work for this year. Now I do enjoy dressing up but I find the process stressful and I procrastinated this year 🥴 do I run to a store and grab something or just throw something together with what I have???🤷🏼‍♀️

I have a Friday Favorites post up on the blog today, hope you enjoy it! 🧡

Looking forward to spending Halloween with our awesome neighbors & friends and having fun with our families.

Hope you enjoy Halloween and have a fun weekend!! 👻

What’s up Wednesday!!! I don’t know about you

What’s up Wednesday!!! I don’t know about you but this week seems busier with Halloween activities, the usual sports activities and then I noticed I scheduled the boys dentists appointments this week too 😲. I guess it’s good to have it before they eat a ton of candy, lol 🤷🏼‍♀️

I’m linking up with @mixandmatchmama and @sheaffertoldmeto for a fun packed What’s up Wednesday post. It’s a little bit of this and a little bit of that about life, our family and everything in between.

It covers things like what I’m watching, curious have you guys seen Squid Game?? What did you think of it?

Have a great rest of the week!!
