Summer is almost over friends. Our summer has been filled with great moments and tiresome moments, highs and lows. We have had the opportunity to spend tons of extra time with the girls, we squeezed in four extra, unplanned trips to Disney. I got to see John Mayer...again and we had many days of fun pool and beach time.
Read MoreWe are home safe from our unexpected vacation, or hurrication as most people on social media have coined it. We left Destin, Florida yesterday morning at 9am and arrived home around 11pm last night. It was a long, slow ride but luckily we didn't encounter any crazy gas lines or terrible drivers.
Read MoreLet's start here---most importantly---we are all safe! Everyone in my family and all of my friends that we've made contact with are safe and sound.
Read MoreThis is a quick post asking for prayers. We are in SW Florida, deciding what we need to do. We have a plan if we stay and a plan if we decide to head north. There are risks with both plans so we will be making the decision that we feel is best for our family.
Read MoreIf you’ve been anywhere near social media in the last year you have probably seen sped up videos showing hand lettering or calligraphy. These videos immediately grabbed my attention and I decided I had to learn to do this. I followed a few accounts on Instagram that specialized in this and watched YouTube videos. After I ordered some supplies, I was ready to start.
Read MoreSummer is coming to an end. With school starting and the beginning of fall just around the corner, there are little glimpses of fall all around: a PSL Starbuck ad at Target, the fall clothing lineup during the Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale, the amazing scent of apple cider in the form of Mrs. Meyers All-Purpose Spray, and my bank account as I try to acquire new, more fall-esque clothing (sorry Hubs!).
Read MoreEvery night I snuggle into the recliner with Macie and sometimes Henley joins us. With one girl on each side of me, we start reading. Macie typically pushes for at least four or five books, Mom is usually done after two, although more times than not, I give in. We have some really cute favorites we've been reading lately so I thought I'd share.
Read MoreWe have had a routine over the last few weeks that has looked a little like this. I lay with Henley in her bed until she falls asleep. I hear blood curdling screams for “Maaamaaaa” around midnight, go to her room and bring her back in our bed until morning. Around 6am Macie joins the crew and we are all snuggled into bed until around 7am. One night of this wouldn’t be bad, a few periodic nights of this is manageable. Every night like this is not okay.
Read MoreMy peanut, my biggest peanut that is, started VPK today. VPK is Florida's voluntary preschool program. She is going to the same school she's been at since she was one but this felt like a bigger deal. With school only a year away, it's starting to feel less "daycare" and more "school". The classroom has more "big kid" things in it including clocks to learn how to tell time, maps, and sight words.
Read MoreI thought I would start a periodic post for things I am loving or doing at the moment. This likely won't be a weekly post but probably at least monthly, maybe more if I am really eager to share something good.
