{Wordless Wednesday} 1st Day of School [7th & 2nd Grade!]

I can't believe it's September! Where did summer go? Like very year our schools kick off the 1st day of school the Tuesday after Labor Day. Johnny was not impressed with me still wanting to take his "1st day of school" pic but I told him he had to give me one. (see above) When I tried for a second telling his father to get in the picture I got a huge thumbs down. Hubs wasn't thrilled either but … [Read more...]

{Wordless Wednesday} New Jeans

Between that and a crazy schedule we FINALLY got out on the boat this past weekend. Sawyer thought he was going to get to drive. Here are some fun pictures I took that day! … [Read more...]

{Wordless Wednesday} 1st Skirt

I'm finally looking at clothing again. I'm trying not to invest in too much but after feeling like I had nothing to wear to a wedding shower last weekend I knew it was time to find some pieces I could wear dressed up or casually. After the shower Gavin had a birthday party and none of the parents stuck around so I took it as an opportunity to head over to TJ Maxx that was just down the road. … [Read more...]

I've been doing a bunch of baking lately since I have 23 POUNDS of blueberries that we've picked this month. We picked 13 lbs the first time and just went back for 10 more.

Baking Tip: Add a little of your dry mix to your fruit to … [Read more...]

{wordless wednesday} Week Away

On Sunday we said goodbye to my oldest who is away at soccer camp. This is the first time he's gone away like this and we miss him like crazy already! I can't believe how old he's getting. It was a scary realization that college is just around the corner. He's such a good kid and he calls me every night. He caught me at the last mile of my run tonight so I walked back and when I got home he … [Read more...]
