This post was sponsored by Crazy 8. All thoughts and opinions are mine
The holidays are fast approaching and I know for me during the holidays I always go a little crazy thinking about outfits for the girls, what will they like, will they be comfortable, will they give me attitude about a certain piece and do I have to worry about underwear showing? If you have a girl, then you Joeyleehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13897062987394378407noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8856528249123622608.post-57825370386858410862017-10-31T07:13:00.000-07:002017-10-31T07:13:35.609-07:00Keira & Kendall's Boho Kidchella Bash
I find that birthday's are kind a like weddings, you start planning and DIYing months or weeks in advance and once the day finally gets here, it goes by in the blink of an eye. And your left wondering how did the day go by so fast and can I relive it again! Can I cherish all those little moments over again and again!?

Another year has come and gone in the blink of an eye, your another year older and inching closer and closer to being a big girl and further away from being a baby.

"There is magic in the night when pumpkins glow by moonlight"
This time of year conjures up crunchy leaves, pumpkin pie and hot chocolate with “all the trimmings” for the kiddos and being able to see their delight at choosing their pumpkins has made it all the more a time to look forward to.

Were a month into the school year and we are finally in a routine.
The first few weeks of school was a big adjustment for both Kendall and I. She is a huge mama's girl so her leaving me all day was hard on not only her but me as well. The thought of not having her by my side all day was gut wrenching. I knew this day would come but it feels like it came to fast.

WOW, wow is all that comes to mind.
Seeing all the instagram pictures/videos of Houston and the surrounding areas has me so sad. I cant imagine what those families are going through. We have a house in Texas and lived there for a little over 2 years and it will always hold a little place in my heart.

Summer went entirely too fast and today is the first day of school.
This summer was filled with so much fun & lots of memories.
I know this school year will be filled with just as much fun & memories.
My girls are growing up so fast and as of today I send all 3 of my little ladies to school.

Yes I did reference a quote from Wreck it Ralph, when you've seen the movie a million times it was only fitting. Kendall loves dinosaurs, like loves them, so what does a mom do? She calls her mom (Mimi) and asks if she can make her grandbaby a custom dino dress.

This is the first summer where we have been busy busy busy. It's like we've been going non stop since the girls got out of school. I'm not complaining one bit though, it's been a total blast. We spent a week at the beach, the girls took a dance class, Kendall did swimming lessons, lots of swimming at grandma's, play dates with friends, out on the boat a lot, baby showers, and Joeyleehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13897062987394378407noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8856528249123622608.post-68605202067624711542017-07-07T11:05:00.001-07:002017-07-07T11:05:42.260-07:00Pampering Yourself with the perfect skin care product
As moms its hard to find time to pamper ourselves, or even just take time for ourselves. I mean really, when your raising kiddos who has the time to spent more than 10 minutes on themselves?! As I get older I've been trying really hard to take better care of my skin. It's been hard, I've tried lots of different skin care products and haven't really found anything I've loved.&Joeyleehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13897062987394378407noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8856528249123622608.post-69540799226248976702017-06-08T09:12:00.004-07:002017-06-08T09:12:52.280-07:00Beach Trip - Day 5 (Marine Lab & Beach Play)
Who looks super cute & knows it? These girls..lol
I like the fact that the girls are finally sleeping in while on vacay, I mean maybe it is cause they are going to bed later than normal. But whatever it is, I'm happy to be able to sleep in to at least 7:30.

It was another low key day, my husband had to work so we spent our time down at the beach. The girls don't mind, even though it was colder, it was still the best day for them so far. When we got to the beach, I noticed all this wood in a circle. The girls and I went to investigate, it was a big hole. So of course we had to set up our stuff right by it so the girls could Joeyleehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13897062987394378407noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8856528249123622608.post-52107240963704145342017-06-05T18:18:00.000-07:002017-06-08T09:13:57.906-07:00Beach Trip - Day 2 (Beach Fun)
Today was more of a low key day. The girls actually slept in, which was nice.
We had breakfast and grandpa took the grandkids to the park. The hour in a half of quietness was nice and sometimes much needed! After going to the park, we got ready and headed to the beach. It was less windy today which made it warmer. The girls were back in that cold water, but today Joeyleehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13897062987394378407noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8856528249123622608.post-28284930417694774602017-06-04T16:40:00.000-07:002017-06-08T09:14:27.112-07:00Beach Trip - Day 1 (Beach Fun)
On Friday afternoon when my husband got home from work, we loaded the truck up with our suitcases, the kids & the dog and made the 2 hour drive to the beach house. Where we would spend the next 8 days, building sandcastles, running from the waves, eating way too much ice cream (who am I kidding you can never eat too much ice cream) and having lots of family fun time.

A couple weeks ago we teamed up with Snapfish for some Earth Day fun, I took the girls on a fun adventure of a nature scavenger hunt. My in laws have the perfect house for a nature hunt, they live on an acre with lots of nature spots, they have a pond in the backyard and chickens.

When you become a parent its hard to believe how fast the time will go, no one tells you to make sure you cherish each new milestone or moment because they'll be gone in the blink of an eye. Being a parent is one of the hardest jobs you'll have but it's also the most rewarding.

I try and teach the girls to always be themselves, not to change to fit in with other people.
I was talking with my mother in law the other night about how different things are now a days than when I was younger. There is drama between girls in 2nd grade, really, I mean what is there to have drama about at 8 years old.

Why do kids have to grow up so fast?
Kendall is our last child, the one who completes our family circle. I wish there was a way to keep our child small even if it is for just a little while. I hate that she's growing up so fast, I miss her being little. She will be starting TK this year and it still seems so crazy to me, like how is my baby ready to start school already? Joeyleehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13897062987394378407noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8856528249123622608.post-6938818639237479802017-04-25T08:30:00.000-07:002017-04-25T08:30:09.180-07:00Basic Invite: Graduation Day!
