8 Back to School Family Traditions

School is starting in just under two weeks. I'm sitting her wondering where the summer went! AG is starting Pre-K this year and cannot wait to go to her new school! I'm a little nervous for her since this school is much bigger than she's used to. Thankfully I'll be close by to check on her throughout the day. I want to make the start of each school year special for my kids. I want them to look forward to a new school year and hope that the excitement may take some of the nerves away.

Christmas Bucket List Recap

This Christmas season has come and gone.   It went by as fast as I thought it would.  At the beginning of the month, I posted our Christmas bucket list.   It consisted of all things I hoped we would be able to do as a family.  Things that I knew would create memories. Traditions I hoped they would start. Things I knew the mini would love. Mission Accomplished. I'm happy to report that we were able to check everything off our bucket list. I did my best to take pictures as we checked things off. I'll spare you the cup of hot chocolate, eggnog and image of the movies we ... read more
