As I am deep into planning Harper and Mason’s fourth birthday party, I realized I never blogged from their birthday last year! I did vlog it, but I usually like to share photos/comments on here too. My blog serves as a memory book for me – so I can’t believe I never added it.
twin costume ideas
It’s OCTOBER! The best month of the year. I thought I’d kick off the month by sharing some of my favorite costume ideas for 2019. Since I have two sets of twins, I have done my research on twin costumes! I have a boy/girl set and a girl/girl set. I’m going to be sharing some fun ideas for both!! Any of these could be “sibling” costumes too – not just for twins!
Everything linked is either from Amazon or Target!
first day of 5th grade
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.
4 ways to keep your kids responsible over summer vacation
I will be the first to admit that I have never made my children do chores. I’m the type of mom who would rather do it myself because it will get done the “right” way. Even my husband does minimal cleaning because I’m so picky. However, this year I decided to change all that. Housework was starting to get overwhelming for me because the toddlers are at the age where they are DESTROYING our house. I feel like cleaning is a waste of time because it stays clean for exactly 4 hours. I couldn’t keep up. Time to enlist the soldiers..
