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.

After spending months doing whatever the heck we want, it’s pretty hard getting back into the school routine. McKenzie and Kasey will be going into 5th grade. This means they’re at the age where going to school isn’t “fun” anymore. They HATE early mornings and the older they get, the MOODIER they get!! Since school doesn’t start for a couple more weeks, I wanted to get them back into school habits early. I’m going to share some tips on getting your kiddos back in a good nighttime 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.

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.
