First Day of School

-
Where have the last 5 years gone? I used to make fun of peoples "how is my baby in Kindergarten already" post, and now I'm that person! Y'all how is my baby in Kindergarten already?? Maddison was so excited and has been waiting for this all summer even though she has loved being able to sleep in and stay in her pjs all day throughout the summer. We also love the freedom of being able to do whatever we want all week. Especially since Ryan has Friday's off, we can go away for long weekend trips but now that we are back to a school schedule it will be different.




The best picture we could get of all three. They do not stand still for long! How are other parents able to get all these pictures of their kids sitting still and looking at the camera, even with my best bribes it never works! 




I love this sweet girl so much and she is truly my best friends! She was the first to make me a mother and my test child for everything motherly. She has taught me so much and even though we may fight, she is always so quick to forgive me and tell me how much she loves me and thinks I'm the best mom in the whole Galaxy!!! 

The house was a lot quieter without Maddison home with us. Mainly because Max didn't have anyone to fight with all day. He really missed his sister and was so excited to go and pick her up at the end of the day. I will say I was able to do more with the boys which was nice and I think I'll be able to start working with them more on different projects and teaching them other skills. They are growing up so fast and it won't be long until I'm sending them off to Kindergarten so until then I'm going to soak up ever minute I can. 


We had a great first day! She loves her teacher and her class. She made lots of new friends and can't wait to go back. She has such a desire to learn and I hope that is something that she never loses. I hope that is something that grows as she does. She loves math and S.T.E.M projects, can you tell she is Ryan's kid! Guess reading all those college math and thermodynamic books to her as a toddler really stuck with her. We are so excited to see how the rest of the year progresses and to see the changes in her.

The Best Way to Enter Summer

 In case you weren't clued in by my name; I love the Summer. My birthday is in the Summer (which is how I got my name), I love being outside in the sunshine, and the kids are out of school which means we get to SLEEP INNNNN! There are BBQs and ice cream all the time, campfires, beach trips, I mean the list of reasons why I love the summer go on and on!  The list of reasons why I don't love the summer can pretty much be summed up into one thing... it's HOT! If you're in the south like me then there is no relief from the heat. Even being in the shade is still so hot (thanks humidity!). Having a place to swim in the summer is so important. Unlike some of my southern friends, I'm not a huge fan of swimming at the lake or river.  So when Tryazon emailed me about the opportunity to try out The Coleman Power Steel Swim Vista Series II from Bestway, I of course said Yes!  This pool has so many awesome features like it's steel frame (which is rust and corrosion resistant...

Squaregles from Santa

 Santa came early this year! Okay, it wasn't Santa, it was Squaregles and Tryazon, but I am sure that Santa will be getting plenty of lists requesting Squaregles this year.  Anytime someone says they have a toy that will keep my kids off electronics I'm first in line to try it. As an Engineer, my husband is very passionate about our kids playing with toys that promote STEM learning and creative thinking. As a stay-at-home, I am just passionate about anything that will keep my kids busy and allow me to clean the kitchen, put away some laundry, or let's be honest, let me read a few chapters of my current book.  Building toys are one of my kid's favorites, blocks, Legos, and magnetic tiles are always a go-to for them. I was curious to see what made Squaregles different from other magnetic tiles on the market. When I tell you that co-founders Joe and Noah put so much thought into their toy I mean it.  Squaregles are larger pieces and have stronger magnets than other tile...

Everyone needs a little IndestrucTable

 I know I am not the only one who always needs a little more room when working on a craft or doing a project with kids. For the longest time, we had a little kid table with 4 pipe legs that you could unscrew and snap into the back of the table. It took a lot of muscle to snap those legs in and out of the table and several minutes to undo it all and screw the legs back into the table. Worse yet was when my boys would steal a leg of the table when I was in the middle of set up or take down and would hit someone with it. Needless to say, that table wasn't working for our family, and took a trip to Goodwill one day. Even though I loved having a small additional table that my kids could use, it wasn't worth it to keep it around.  Then I found the Iceberg IndestrucTable, thanks to Tryazon! It is lightweight, easy to set up and take down, dent and scratch-resistant, easy to clean, and has 3 adjustable heights. I'm talking, about my 5-year-old son carrying it from my kitchen, up a ...
