I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Carter’s . I received a complimentary gift card to facilitate my review and thank me for my participation. Yes. You read that correctly. I totally got hooked up with a Carter's gift card to go shopping for back to school clothes for my kids. Shopping at my FAVORITE kid's clothing store for FREE? You know I was pumped! I'm so thankful to Carter's for this opportunity to pick out super cute back-to-school clothes in fun colors for my crew but I'm especially thankful for the opportunity to have my FIRST girl's shopping trip with Britt. She's reached an age where she gets truly excited when I bring home new clothes for her and I thought it'd be the PERFECT outing for the two of us to enjoy together. If you've been a blog follower for awhile then you probably already know the love I have for Carter's. Pretty much every outfit my kids wear in any of our fa...
Today Tess is ONE. Whew. It's hard for me to even say that! We are having a fabulous day celebrating our precious girl. As always I put together a slideshow for this big event! It has pictures that cover Tess's entire first year of life (at least up until her party this past Saturday!). We are so blessed to have Tess as part of our family and hope you enjoy this slideshow I put together in honor of our baby girl! Free slideshow design personalized with Smilebox It's crazy to think a year ago we didn't know if we'd have a little boy or little girl! Tess fills our lives with so much joy and I'm so thankful that God blessed us with her!
Back in the day when I could actually become "Facebook Friends" with blog readers (oh the glory days before stalkers and catfishers ) I met Ashley. We've never met in person but I know she's a real person ;) Y'all know I have a passion for supporting people who follow their passions and I have been AMAZED at how her monogram business has exploded . She's SO creative and comes up with THE cutest ideas. Plus everything in her shop is totally reasonably priced and she runs all kinds of great sales and discounts and such from time to time too! When we paid off our van and it made OURS I really wanted something to represent the big achievement. Something to make it mine . Hello monogram! Ashley sent me a cute, simple pink monogram decal that really fit what I was looking for. I finally got my van washed and applied it recently and love it. Sure I'm still totally a "van mom" but at least I own it ;) I also saw on her IG a pictu...
Week two of our summer fun kicked off on the day we got back from Hilton Head (May 25th). That next day Kye started his football camp for the week so it was a busy time for us going back and forth to drop him off and pick him up. He LOVED it and I'm so glad we invested the time and money for it! One of the days driving home I about FREAKED OUT when I saw this yellow bug parked in a parking lot. Like I didn't even hesitate. I immediately turned around to pull into the parking lot to look at the car. It was one of those moments where I was just flooded with memories and was so excited. Call me lame, I'll take it :) I haven't seen that car since college and I was over the moon about being reconnected with something that was so special to me! The fact that it was the same year and color and had the same rims was like destiny ;) You can see my beloved bug here! When I was pregnant last summer with Tess I was a little nervous how this summer would go. Doing t...
Oops! I dropped the ball yesterday and failed to post this! But we wrapped up the big baby wise blog network topic of sleep yesterday! We had two awesome bloggers as our spotlights and I want to make sure to give each of them a shout out :) First up we have Elaine from Faithfully Infertile . Her post is something I strongly agree with. Sleep is so important for our babies and making it a priority, especially during the first year, is a personal goal of mine as well. Read more about prioritizing sleep on her blog! Next we have Claire from My Devising . She gives a great post on how to drop the morning nap! Dropping the morning nap can be a tricky transition and I love her way of explaining it and tips to make it smoother! I hope everyone has enjoyed this week and has found some new blogs to follow. Be sure to check in with all the spotlight bloggers from our topic of sleep this week! Monday: Valerie at Chronicles of a Babywise Mom Tuesday: Shea at The Mos...
