Back to school!

I know i'm a little late on my Back to school post considering the girls started August 19th. They are both required to wear uniforms. My initial thought was uniforms, how boring? however it's less hassel in the mornings and I love that I always know what they are going to wear, so i spend my time choosing accessories because uniforms dont have to be boring.

Ergo Carrier

I love baby wearing I wore Leannah in a Peanut shell sling for her first 2 1/2 years. Next time around I am set on getting an Ergo I have heard nothing but great things about them. Here is Gisele Bundchen carrying her little princess in an Ergo baby.

She looks so snug and comfy!

My Pre Schooler

When I first started this blog in 2010 Leannah was such a little bug. I remember my first post was about her favorite foods and such and now that same little baby is going to preschool soon she will off to Kindergarten and just like that, i have no baby left. This has been tough for me Hailey entered Pre-K when I was 8 weeks pregnant with Leannah and once I knew we were having another girl we had planned to do the same, as soon as Leannah was headed of to Pre-k we would give it a go for our last and final (hopefully boy) child. Due to schooling and wanting to accomplish some goals before adding another child to the crew, we have to wait. Bummer! So now i'll sit here and cry about not having an itty bitty baby to hold.

Pool day!

A few weeks ago I took the girls swimming. We had such a lovely time soaking up the last bit of summer vacation. I've had this swim suit tucked away in the ''do not wear'' pile. I havent had the confidence to show much skin since 2009. I'm glad I took the risk i felt girly and confident.  

Cute pool attire on a budget!

Merry Christmas!

Is it insane to already start my 2013 Christmas countdown? I love Christmas it's by far my favorite holiday and having children just makes it so much better. The look on their face when ''Santa arrives'' is priceless and those are the memories that as a mother I will always have, even when they are grown with their own children, i will never forget those little faces, big eyes,  jaw drops and gasps! All the early morning and late night shopping was worth it.

Now on to the fun part Pictures.

Milk and Cookies for Santa!

 

Hailey made me a beautiful ornament and purchased a neckalce at her holida gift shop.

Eeek! Third grade.

Summer is officially gone. Fall has arrived and that means so has school. I still cannot believe my child is in third grade, THIRD! I was thrilled when she went to VPK, First and Second but i'm having a difficult time with third grade. I must admit i cried like a baby. I cried during the meet and greet and on her first day I arrived at my job in tears. I need to learn how to let go a bit, You know those crazy parents that fear field trips and having their children away from them hours at a time? Well that's me! I am extra paranoid when it comes to my gems. I am working on that but so far i cannot help it. I can sob all day about how heart broken i am that my children are growing up so enough now to the fun part (pictures).

 I decided to share a few pictures from her first week of school.

Rain, Rain come and Play!

A few posts down I shared Hailey and Leannah's Hunter-Boots. After making up their own little chant ''Rain, rain come and play, sun come out another day!'' They finally used their boots and the little ladies were oh so very excited..

Until next time,

Baby Gap!

Until next time,

Toddler Fashionista!

Rain, Rain we would love to play!

My daughters are both in love with wearing boots. If they could choose ONE item in their closet 9 out of 10 a pair of boots would be their pick. I decided I would splurge a little and get them their first pair of Hunters. I was obsessing over which to get but I think I made the right decision; the girls seem to be overjoyed!!

Leannah had these cute little yellow rain boots from gap, which I adore. She wore them everyday even with her Pj’s as I recall there were times when I would take them off her because she was in bed ready for some sleepy time. I had to get rid of them because the SMELL was horrific and she grew out of them. I hope she gives these a break!

Until Next time,

The most Magical place in the world!

We try to take the girls to Disney world once a year. We had such a lovely time despite the heat. Next year we are going to try to plan something in the cooler months because June was beyond hot, the heat is exausting.  

There is no better feeling then being with the ones you love most!
