Today was my kid's first day of school and I was a mixed bag of emotions. On one hand I'm super excited for them to head back to school and for all of the adventures, growth and learning they will do this year.

In an attempt to start the school year off organized I created this … [Read more...]

Back to school is fast approaching for us, and I always try to get first day of school pictures of each of my boys before I send them off. Sometimes I’m really prepared and have a printable sign for them to hold...other times, I quickly snap a pic with my cell phone and hope for the best.

No matter which type of photo I get they will look great displayed on this … [Read more...]

I was asked by Carusele to participate in the #SimplyNice campaign, sponsored by Walgreens. Although I have been compensated, all opinions are my own.

I love the fresh start of a new school year, and the way it forces us back into a routine after the laid back summer months. I look … [Read more...]
