About Last Night... I remember my first concert like it was yesterday. NKOTB. My mom made us puff paint denim jackets and we took a limo into the city and we thought we were THE. COOLEST. EVER!! . Here’s hoping the girls will always remember last night with the same happy memories. (Even though NKOTB>Jojo 😜) . I have to say, for all the neon, the yelling, and the giant bows- the girls LIT up when they saw their very first “celebrity obsession” on that stage. There was nothing like their innocent little star struck faces. And Jojo, in all her sequined-glory, talked about always being “the kind kid”, about being a friend to the kid who doesn’t have one, about always being yourself, and about never ever letting anyone tell you you can’t achieve your dreams. And my girls sat there and ate that up with a spoon... and for THAT alone, last night was worth every single ear plug! Do you remember your first concert?! Tell me below! Guys, I looked at the calendar this morning and there was NOTHING on the schedule for today. So, I triple checked it...just to be sure 😜 and then we had coffee & donuts for breakfast, put out some pumpkins (fake, obviously—real ones would melt into puddles before Oct 1), we put on normal clothes- not school uniforms or dance uniform or soccer uniforms, and then we called our fam and invited everyone over. And then we did NOTHING all day, together. We chatted & watched football, the kids played outside, the babies napped, and we just had the first relaxed day in what felt like months and— It. Was. Glorious! Cheers to Fall creeping in (to our decor, not our weather!), to relaxed weekends, and to family. Today was SO. NEEDED. What’d you do today?! The girls have been doing great at their new school, but I’d be lying if I said there weren’t some (expected) adjustments...especially for our little Cub Scout. It’s her first time at a big school, in a uniform, ALL day long. There are lots of new faces, sounds, expectations & experiences—and today they all just got the better of her. She got into the car a little upset today and before I could start a sentence, Q was at the ready: asking questions and giving advice & reassurance to her sister. Before I knew it, they were both singing a song their art teacher taught them and discussing which of the lunch selections they had each chosen. (They’ve been begging to buy lunch recently and I need to figure out a better balance 😫). Anyways, as they sat there chattering & laughing in the back seat, drowned out by Max’s Spider-Man battle cries, I just thought to myself...man, they really are the greatest gifts to one another that I could’ve ever given.❤️ I’m so excited to be a part of #storytimesnacks today! It’s an awesome initiative running the month of September & spearheaded by the fabulous Sami of @literacyforlittles ! #Storytimesnacks is right up my alley because it inspires a love of reading & eating in our little ones by creating fun book/snack pairings! . Today I’m sharing one of my FAVORITE new Fall book finds: The Little Guys & pairing it with some simple & yummy banana muffin “acorns”. . The Little Guys is an adorably illustrated picture book about a pack of acorns...who may be small, but together are mighty! I love the message of support & encouragement and my kiddos loved the muffins (ahem: anything with Nutella!) . 🔶Acorn Muffin Recipe: ▫️bake your favorite muffins- we used banana bread! ▫️Use Nutella or your fav form of frosting ▫️cover with chocolate sprinkles or granola for a healthier option ▫️top with a pretzel stick . Be sure to check out which book/snack pairings these mamas are sharing: @literacyforlittles @Mamaknows_nutrition @Themamanotes @lalalunchbox @Heather.happykidskitchen @Redkitchenette . Would YOUR littles like this snack?! How would you modify it? Let me know below! Yesterday Ryan went to a football game and we hung out, baked, crafted, & tackled some more closet organizing! (Hello, perfect day!) I also did a quick tour of our craft room/study! It’s still in my stories but I’ll save it in my “new house” highlights in case you miss it! Happy Monday, friends. 🌈 Nailed it. #macbabesgotoschool #whethertheylikeitornot Raise your hand if you remember voting & helping me choose this @caitlinwilsondesign wallpaper several months ago? I think we chose correctly! I’m so in love with how this room came together, and more importantly, so is Q. She told us, “No one is allowed in my new room...except Grant because he’s so cute, and Ardyn, but just for like five minutes. And sometimes Max- but only when he’s not being naughty. And I guess you too, Mom. And Dad. And probably my friends—Ok fine, people can come in my room. But no one can mess up my special things. Like my dolls...and my special gum I’m hiding but I’m not telling you where.” 😂 #savemefromtheteenyears Thanking the Lord for an extra day off tomorrow to continue digging us out of the mountain of boxes we are currently buried under, but I’m also in total denial that Mimi has gone back home, Max is about to start preschool and summer is, in fact, officially over. 😢. Are you team “Bring on Halloween” or team “Bring Back Summer”?? I’m sooo ready for cooler temps and to settle into the new house but if I’m being honest, I’d redo this summer (and bring back Mimi) in a heartbeat!
