First Thanksgiving school lunch...

Finally!!! The day I've been waiting for arrived. I've been drooling for this day since my son started school. Yes... Thanksgiving lunch at school! I absolutely love the unhealthy cafeteria food that is fed in the US public schools. (Maybe not every item) But for the most part, I truly enjoy eating the junk food! 😂  I graduated 11 years ago from high school. & I haven't had these lunches since then. My favorite school lunch was definitely the Thanksgiving lunch. The tray with turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, jellied cranberry, dinner roll & pumpkin pie. (I mean, I can't be the only one drooling right now?!?!)

Extra slice of pie that made it's way home. 

Growing up my mother worked hard to provide for us. I grew up in a lower class household, and while we always had dinner on the table. I was never sent to school with lunch. The schools I attended provided breakfast and lunch. Thankfully I didn't have any food allergies, and I became fond of the cafeteria food.
Now that my son started school. Which by the way, is the same Elementary school I attended. ( I love this school and staff!) We get to enjoy this day along with him. We made the arrangements possible to be there with him. (You know the usual, requesting for the  day off and I left class early.) I am excited to start making all these memories and start traditions in our little family.




Clearly the pumpkin pie was delicious. 


In honor of this holiday,
I am thankful that I was never left hungry growing up.
I am thankful that my son is getting an education.
I am thankful that I am continuing my education.
I am thankful to be able to make these memories.

What are you thankful for today?

Thank you so much for reading my thoughts and please share your experiences with school lunches from when you were in school. Or your kids favorite lunch! I'd love to hear (read)  all about them in the comments.
Xoxo,
Carla

Five nights at freddy's 5th birthday party....

I know... I know... Five nights at freddy's aren't exactly the characters you'd expect a 4 or 5 year old would like. My son however is obsessed with these ugly looking characters. He has been watching their music videos and such for a couple months now. Therefore, his birthday party theme this year was obviously Five nights at freddy's. I opted to do it friendly and not scary with the "nightmare" version. For you mommas, who have kids obsessed with these characters. Here are some ideas for your theme party. We held the party at a local park. Set up tents, ice coolers, tables and chairs. Invitations... I like to be simple when it comes to invitations. I send out a custom made invitation through text messages or make an event on Facebook. (Most our family and friends are on there) When I say custom invitation, I mean custom made by me. 😁 Food... Since the characters like to eat pizza & Fred Bear Fazbear works at a pizzeria. (Or something) The ma...

Getting comfortable in my own skin...

This year I will be turning 30!!! Where and how that happened? I have no idea,,, What I do know, is that it has taken me a very long time to accept myself.  As a matter of fact, I'm currently still working on it.  Through the years I have struggled with learning to love myself.  Never completely content with my appearance.  Whether it was my teeth, face, features, body.  You name it!  In the past I have even contemplated getting surgery. What stopped me? The money of course! As well as the scary stories told by friends.  Which often times they hear from others.  Postpartum, I suffered from weight gain.  It took me years to loose the weight.  Even then, my body is not perfect.  Does that define me? Do my looks define me? Of course NOT! I know that; However that doesn't change the fact that I obsess over my weight, and constantly weigh myself. My point with all this rambling is, that it's never too late to learn to LOVE ...
