a little this and that

Going back to work was a big thing last week, but we still had a lot of fun in between ha! 

Friday night I went out with my sister and cousins for a little girls dinner to catch up. 

 

Saturday little K had his first swim lesson.  He is so eager to learn. He loves the pool and beach. 

We finally got around to painting! Yay! 

My husband is awesome and he completed the first floor in 2 days. 

The house feels so warm and cozy and has much more of a homey feel. We love it! 

We love moving our art around. This piece was in the office, but now looks amazing in the diningroom. We looked up the meaning of this art and to my surprise it's a painting by Marc Lawrence 

I now love this piece even more. 

 

 This weekend I'll be on the hunt for new pillows to match it! 

We are also looking for more art, or maybe a clock to go above the piano.

We are also taking professional family photos soon, so a large picture will be put up in this area too! 
 

 Fall is the best season. 

Thanksgiving is around the corner and we have sooo much to be thankful for. 

Happy FALL!! 

 
 
 
 
 

 

Back to work!

Last week was my first week back to work after maternity leave :(

We planned and prepared for the week as much as we could! We wanted a smooth start to the week. 

Making dinners that last 2 nights in a row.

Or getting takeout when we felt the burn of the week taking a toll. 

 

Picking out all our clothes for the week. 

Preparing lunches the night before and making easy breakfasts. 

Our days are long. Baby M and I are out the door at 7am! 

 

The first 3 days was really hard for baby M. There were a lot of tears. From both him and I!

But he is getting the hang of it. This week was much better. A few tears but he's having a great day. 

We have a good schedule we are following and the key to it all is preparation. Preparing on the weekend and the night before. 

We all have our part and we are working together as a team. Little K has been helping out and it melts my heart. He's such a big boy and adjusted so well to the new schedule with no fuss. 

We are in week 2! And slowly getting the hang of this new routine. 

 
 

 

Wedding fun!

Last weekend we had a little mini getaway for my cousins wedding. 

Little k was excited to stay overnight In a hotel. 

The wedding was outdoors and the weather was perfect!

Baby M can't sit still so they went for a little walk with daddy. 

Love this picture so much. 

My beautiful sisters 

My beautiful family 

The kids had a blast, dancing and playing together. 

The kids were so good and they had so much fun! 

We danced the night away! 

How cute was this decor. 

Jam as the gift! How cute! 

It was so nice spend time with family.

The kids didn't want to leave the hotel!

The next morning we met with family and went for breakfast. 

A beautiful weekend with beautiful people. 

Third week of school!

Third week of school and daycare prep for baby M! 

I can't get enough of these ghost busters shirts! Ha! I bought a few more matching outfits for these kiddos. I'll milk it for as long as I can!

Little K is not a picky eater when it comes to his lunches. So making lunch has been pretty easy.  He does ask for bocconcini daily and he's loving hummus. He likes his apples whole and he's loving those lunch box chocolate granola bars and of course he likes carrots over those pretzels. Yummy! Twice a week he will have the school hot lunch which is pasta and pizza and a carton of milk daily. He's not a huge milk drinker but this year he said he wanted the chocolate milk. So let's see!

Now it's time for baby M to transition to daycare :( 

This kiddo is on the fast track. He already seems older than 1! He watches and learns so fast from big bro! 

We got all his items ready... Diapers, blankets, toys, utensils, clothes and snacks! He was ready for his first day! Only 2.5 hours today. And of course he was just fine. He is surrounded by little girls and he had so much fun. He ate a little lunch and snacks while there too. Of course baby M! You loveeee to eat! 

With his little "today is going to be awesome" shirt. It was awesome!

Ohhh my baby. I'm so in love with this little fireball!!

Next week it's back to work for me and a new schedule for all of us! 

First week of school!

Little k was excited for back to school last week! Little brother definitely missed him last week! 

He got a new paw patrol school bag. 

We packed his yumbox and snacks in his lunch bag and he was ready! 

He has a great first week! Seeing all his friends again and he has the same teacher which we just adore! 

First week photos! 

Getting back into the routine has been pretty smooth! I'm grateful to be home right now to help it all go soo smooth! 

Back into the routine of early bedtime and early wakeup! Out the door at 7:15 for before school program. I'm soo happy he has so many friends in the before and after school program and he loves it! So proud of my little guy! 

Paper work to fill out is still coming in his backpack this week. Ha! Us parents just love that part. Lunch and milk program all set for October too! Mommy is on the ball! 

We are looking forward to a great year! 

Swimming lessons and piano lessons begin soon for fall too! :) 

So Friday night we went out to celebrate the new school year, with little k's favorite meal! Sushi!!! 

Have a great week friends!
