Ladies Who Link: August Edition: Back To School Prep


Hey everybody!! 
Sorry for our absence on last month's linkup! I know all you dedicated readers, ok...reader (Hi Mom!) missed us terribly! Summer has been quite a bear around here. We have been traveling a lot and just existing with 3 kids and a puppy has been a long, exhausting challenge. All that said, I do love them all dearly and do my best to cherish our summer time together and making fun memories...amidst the screaming and fighting. Look for the good, right??

Now that I've gotten that out of the way...
Thanks for coming by for our link up! And a special thank you to our other hosts: Allie over at A Gal Named Al, Lisa at Coast to Coast, Tara at Mommy In A Nutshell and Holly over at Pink Lady!!
Back to School Prep time!

Obviously, I am quite excited that it is time to get THIS party started. I haven't actually had to do much back to school prep to share with you. We did do our usual Target run to get what we needed. My 8th grader needed some supplies, but for my Kindergartner and my 4th grader their school supplies their school supplies. Funny way to word that!

Our school prep this year is a bit unconventional.  We are preparing to move at some point during the school year. We are building a new home a couple of miles away from our current house in late winter or early spring. So, our focus has been spending time with the kids purging things from their rooms while they aren't also facing homework, projects and activities. Of course, this will be a never-ending process until we actually move, but I am working to get us a good head start so it is a bit overwhelming.



We are in the framing process currently!

If any of you have some suggestions, I am happy to hear them!! The last time we moved was 12 years ago when I only had 1 small kid! Now we have 3, and our niece has moved in all of her stuff. Any organization tips you can throw at me, would be great! I am feeling quite overwhelmed with this process! So, if you need me this Fall, you know what I'll be doing!!

Happy Back to School everyone!

Happy Memorial Day!

Grab a cup of coffee and get comfy! Here is mine below! I felt like I needed my coffee to take the preparation for this project on! On Saturday, my family and I had over 3 other families for a pool party and cookout. Here are some of the things we did! My homemade cold brew iced coffee! On Friday, I ran errands collecting supplies for the party. I came across these cute paper platters at Target! They were great for holding the hamburgers, hot dogs and buns. I also picked up some bubbles for the little kids, some juice boxes and water bottles, and of course, some pool floats and noodles, it was a pool party after all! Is there anything Target doesn't have?! Here are a few of the decorations I put up just to make it a bit more festive. These would be great for a 4th of July or Labor Day party too!

Stranded! September 14: Movies

This month's Stranded Linkup hosted by Shay at Mix & Match Mama and Erika at A Little Bit of Everything is all about Movies!! I don't know about you, but this is a tough one! I love so many movies! I think these three I could watch over and over and over. I think that I have to go with my all-time favorite movie as a child for the first pick. 1st Pick Oh my gosh, you guys! I LOVED this movie SO much when I was little! Hayley Mills is my favorite! This version was the only one in existence when I was young, so I am biased and think this one is MUCH better than the Lindsay Lohan remake. 2nd Pick I mean, who doesn't love Will Ferrell and his crazy antics?! And in a holiday movie!?! We have watched this so many times during Christmastime and every other time of the year! My kids can quote many favorite lines! 3rd Pick I think this one needs to be a newer comedy that my husband and I have watched so many times. I LOVE Paul Rud...

And this year will be no different!  Last week, I went to Target (where else?!) to stock up on some fun party things for the kids.
