I can’t believe its Back to school time already! SUMMER NEVER LEAVE!! maybe if I say it many times it will come true! LOL π Not sure if you have heard of Gymboree.. what am I saying of course you have if you have kids! Its a children’s store and they came out with their Back to School clothing line part of a MADE YOU SMILE campaign. We were challenged to talk about what makes us smile. I asked Harlow the other day, “what makes you smile Harlow?” She said I don’t know… took a pause and said when you laugh mama” Oh my heart that response couldn’t be better. I think you should all ask your loved ones what makes them smile you may really love the answers!

Memorial Day Weekend
Hope you all had an amazing Memorial Day weekend! I love long weekends but now I am needing all the coffee just to keep me going! I took the girls to our local splash pad on Saturday! Harlow had a blast but Sutton wasn’t to interested in the water! She just wanted to sit on the bench with me and watch everyone play! We celebrated Nick’s birthday on Sunday! Harlow was able to decorate a little cake for him and we just took it easy and played outside. We had record breaking temps here in the Midwest for Memorial Day weekend!! I am sharing a few cute photos from this weekend as well as some sales that are still going on! Grab your coffee and see below!Β
Workin’ On My Fitness
I am going to be honest… I haven’t worked out since before I got pregnant with Sutton. Omg I can’t believe I just admitted that LOL! Well I walk daily and run around with my kids so I am active but I really do need to start strengthening my muscles! I don’t workout so much to lose weight but to maintain a healthy body so I am ABLE to run around with my kids! Any way if you see me wearing workout clothes and cute sneaks chances are I am just looooking the part not actually getting out of a sweaty workout! I love cute athletic/ athleisure wear because people think you just worked out but also allows you to run around with kids! A win win for me!
