I'll also be starting the IG back up as well, so make sure to follow along on there as well @LeahwithLove Fall is officially here.

Strawberry Watermelon Popsicles

Summer is here and I can't tell you how much fun it's been so far. The kids are at great ages right now. We're out exploring each day and able to come home in the afternoon for lots of playing together. It's been wonderful and I'm grateful for my time home with them. Each summer, we make summer bucket lists- which I'll share soon. One of the things on the bucket list was making popsicles. When we wrote it on there, I realized I never shared the popsicles we made last summer! Last summer, the kids LOVED making homemade popsicles. During Amazon Prime day last year, I ordered these Zoku ... read more

Hello, Summer! Gift Idea & Printable

 The final countdown is on. There are only two more days left until summer break. The countdown has been on in our house for the last month. As a mom, I'm excited to have my kids home for the summer. I'm also excited that they're signed up for some camps. As a teacher, I'm beyond ready for a break. I'm ready to slow down, recharge and just enjoy my time off. For the last two years, I've celebrated the start of summer with a little basket filled with fun summer things to give to AG on the last day of school. For the months leading up to summertime, I scout the Dollar Spot for things I think ... read more

8 Free May Desktop Wallpapers

The last time I brought you a desktop wallpaper post was in December. These posts were always my favorite to work on each month. Mainly because, I love changing up the backgrounds on my devices each month and always find so many fun options while working on these posts. This month, there are a lot of very pretty options. May flowers seems to be the theme. If you choose one for your devices, make sure to leave a comment telling me which one you chose!  Hopefully I'll be able to keep up with these again each month. Happy May!   I immediately added this one from Designer Blogs to my ... read more

5 things to do to start the month off right

Start the month off right by doing these 5 things…. May 1st is here. I say it every year, but this year sure is flying by. School will be out at the end of the month. Summer will be gone in the blink of an eye. And everyone knows, my mind will be on all things pumpkin and Christmas after that. So yes, time is flying. I can’t stop it. I looked at my 2018 bucket list last week and realized I needed to get a jump on some of the things on that list.  So, here is your friendly reminder as a new month is here. Think about your goals for the year. Where are you in reaching them? What are some ... read more

Lemon Blueberry Muffins

Last weekend, I took the littles blueberry picking. We had so much fun strawberry picking last month. When I saw on FB that there was a blueberry farm a few miles away and decided it would be the perfect Saturday afternoon activity. It was also a gorgeous weekend, so being outdoors was a must! These two are growing way too fast! We had a lot of fun. It wasn't too packed, there was a nice breeze and even a little place for the kids to play when we checked out.  We ended up coming home with two bags full of blueberries. While, I like blueberries in my yogurt, coconut (Greek to be exact) ... read more

30 days & a new ME

  Since I've had my kids, I've worked hard to try to get my health and body back to the place it was before kids. It's definitely been a struggle over the last 5 years, with many highs and lows throughout. I think it's something many of us moms experience. I definitely was someone who enjoyed eating (probably too much) when I was pregnant. I took eating for two literally, especially with my first pregnancy. Right when I had lost all the weight from my first pregnancy, when AG was about a year and a half- I found out I was pregnant with L. I was much more mindful the with my second pregnancy, ... read more

Easy Desk Makeover

Over the last month, I've been working on making over my home office. In the past, it was where I ran my embroidery business. It was also a craft room, where all of my creations and tools were stored. Over the past year, I haven't really used the room at all. So, I made a goal for 2018 to makeover the office into a place the kids and I could both use. A place that was uncluttered (as much as possible) and functional. For me, I wanted a nice work space for when I did my crafts or embroidery here and there. I also wanted a work area for school work. I am grading papers most nights and also want ... read more
