Getting to Have Sibling Bonding Time with My Brother and Finally Reading!

Good afternoon, y’all!
Hey y’all! Hope you are all having a great start to your day! This afternoon I’ve got some homemade soda (you can find the recipe for this on the blog’s Instagram!) and some calming Pandora the World of Avatar music in the background. With that, pull up a chair, grab a sweet drink, and let’s get to talkin’!

Monday 1/5

I’m still working on getting up between 7am and 8am on the weekdays and it clearly shows. I got up today at 9:30am. Gonna have to work on that! After getting up, I fed and took out Tucker then made some breakfast for myself. I had a blueberry bagel with butter and cinnamon and sugar mix on top. It was so good! Would for sure recommend it!

I had started writing some of the blog for today the night before because the day had already ended. After eating, I sat at my desk and finished writing and posting.

After hitting post for my blog, I got started on some much needed chores. I did the laundry, dishes, vacuumed, cleaned the litter box and picked up the family room. If there were 3 things I have to do every day, it would for sure be picking up the family room, dishes and vacuuming. Because of the 2 animals in our home, there is so much fur. Haha!

After completing my chores, I got started on something fun. I made, edited, and posted my first Instagram Reel! It was at first frustrating to get under 1 min. 30 sec., but it became like a fun challenge. If y’all wanna see it, go over to the blog Instagram and check it out!

After posting, I had a snack. Some homemade chicken tenders. They were so good and hope to share the recipe soon with y’all!

When it was time, I started baking some chicken for dinner. We had Pesto Pasta tonight. I will also have to share this recipe with y’all soon. When the chicken was done, I continued with the other parts of the meal that had to be made. While I was finishing up, Hubby came home. We had to be somewhere soon, so I plated dinner quickly, we ate and got on the road.

We had to go soon and fast because we had small group to get too. And when it was all said and done, Hubby and I came home and crashed. We got ready and went straight to bed.

Tuesday 1/6

This morning, I got up late…again. After getting up, I got ready and went to my parent’s home to hang out with my brother. And I had to bring Tuck too! My brother has been out of state for college and has been back in town for almost a month. That means I have to see him when we can make it happen.

For the post part, we just built Legos with our 2 bins of loose Lego. We used to do this all the time when we were kids, and it was so nostalgic to do it again with him. Even better, we had Phineas and Ferb on in the background. Felt like I was 10 again.

When it was time, after like 4 hours haha, Tucker and I packed up and came back home. After coming home, I put all the things I took with us away. Hubby was already home, so we went on a short walk with Tucker. We came back inside and hung out for a bit before having dinner. Which was leftover Pesto Pasta. And right after that, we had some air-fried cinnamon rolls. I highly highly recommend making your cinnamon rolls this way! They come out faster and have that crunchy outside with a soft inside. So stinkin’ good.

After eating, Hubby had some computer things to do, and I thought I shouldn’t be on my phone for the rest of the night. So, I forced myself to read Sunrise on the Reaping by Suzanne Collins. After like a page, I was hooked. I’ve been trying to get to this point with reading. I wanna read, but when I do, I don’t feel that motivation. Well, now I do and I wanna read all the books in my line up so bad!

After reading and doing computer stuff for an hour and a half, Hubby and I called it a night. We got ready and went to bed.

A Little Encouragement

Today’s Bible verse is 2 Timothy 1:5:
“I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, dwells in you as well.”

Thank you to all y’all for reading today’s post! Little shorter than I would like it, but it’s hard coming up with things to say when your days weren’t that packed in the first place. I hope to see y’all on Friday! And if you can’t wait till Friday, follow me on Instagram to get more from me! It would be a great help if y’all went over there and followed. Thanks again for reading and I hope to see y’all for Friday’s post!

With a Spoonful of Sweetness, Rachel
