best purchases of 2019

January 6, 2020

Hi friends! It’s a fresh new year and decade! I have high hopes that this will be the best one yet. *fingers crossed* I’m going to be sharing some of my favorite purchases of 2019!

These are some of my favorite blog posts to write! I love reflecting on the year and creating a little highlight reel. 2019 was a good year! We had so many family getaways, Cody and I had lots of alone time and we crossed something off our bucket list. Not pictured in this blog is the intense amount of healing we through as a couple. I think if I could put a word on this year, it would definitely be healing. I hope that 2020 has more healing in store for us but also lots and lots of happiness.

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

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.

I know I’m not alone when I say that I have some PICKY eaters on my hands. My ten year old daughters, McKenzie and Kasey, are more of “snackers” than full meal eaters. This has made them pretty specific when requesting snacks from the store. Since they were younger, they have always picked out a bag of Goldfish crackers. When I heard that they just came out with a new line of crackers, I knew I had to bring some home for them to try. They were a hit!
