first day of 5th grade

August 26, 2019

Every year sending them off to school gets a little easier. However, this is their last year in elementary! Next year they are big old middle schoolers!! Time flies! I will be cherishing all the little things they won’t be doing anymore, like passing out valentine’s or walking in the halloween parade at school! *INSERT MAMA TEARS HERE*

They had a summer packed full of fun things but I think ~~they are ready~~ I’m ready for a more structured schedule again. I hate the early mornings but I love the early nights and getting back into a routine.

the best girls backpacks | 2019

August 11, 2019

It’s time for my annual backpack round up! For some reason, I love shopping for backpacks. Maybe it’s the “stationary geek” in me but school shopping is my jam. Last year we went with backpacks from Justice and they were my favorite ever. I definitely had to include some more Justice ones this year.

Make sure you check out PART ONE of our Universal vacation to catch up!

universal studios vacation part 1

October 30, 2018

We decided on taking an adults only trip to Universal Studios Orlando. We planned this vacation on New Years Day 2018, so it has been a LONG year of waiting for it to finally arrive. Our main focus was Halloween Horror Nights, which is the largest Halloween event in the U.S. but obviously wanted to go to the parks too. My parents had never been to Orlando – it was fun seeing everything through their eyes! We had such a fun time but I was definitely ready to get home to my kids after six days!!

a cold day at the pumpkin patch

October 18, 2018

Every year we try to visit our favorite pumpkin patch/apple orchards but we have been slacking this year! Even though it was a cold fall day, we still packed up the kids and brought them. We leave for vacation in just a few days, so I wanted to make sure we got it in before we left. Our favorite place to visit is Schwalliers Country Basket.
