The new school year is just right around the corner!  My kids are attending a year-round school and will start school on July 20th.  Mary-Grace will be starting 3rd grade (how?!) and Benny will be starting Kindergarten.  Mary-Grace loves school and excels so no worries there but Benny is indifferent about it and will need more coaxing to get work done.  I've been gearing them both up for the new year and buying some needed items.  Mary-Grace won't need as much since she's already been through a few grades but we got a book bag for Benny (the one above) and Mary-Grace already has it in hot pink.  We also have a few of the other items I've listed that are favorites such as our Yeti water bottles, name labels, boy shorts, and our wipeable bags that we have in two different sizes.  Wishing a successful school year for students, teachers and parents!

Spring Outdoor Finds

Spring time and warmer weather is upon us, finally!  We've been enjoying more days outside in the yard and playing with the kids.  I love being outside in the sunshine and warm (but not too hot!) weather.  We've recently purchased a few outdoor dining chairs and are looking for a table.  We've also added a few hanging baskets and spruced up the yard after the winter.  

Below, I've gathered a few of my favorite outdoor finds to add enjoyment to your outdoor space!  All of the items listed are at affordable prices with the most being $230 for the teak bar cart.  What have you added recently to your outdoor spaces for the spring?

Easter Basket Ideas

We're just two and half weeks away until Easter.  I love Easter; the meaning of the day, the pastel flowers and dresses, cute bunnies and chicks, and of course sweet treats.  This Easter will still won't be quite the same as before 2020 but it will be a little more of what we're use to.  Church will be open for Easter service that morning and we're planning to see our family for lunch.  Mary-Grace has asked for us to have an egg hunt in our backyard like we did last year so we'll probably do that again in order to avoid crowds. Our little town is having an egg hunt but I'm not sure how many are planning to attend and we're still trying to social distance as much as possible.  What will your Easter look like this year?  Did you start any new traditions last year?  Below I've rounded up some sweet and fun basket and gift ideas.  Making Easter baskets is so much fun to me!  For more ideas,  here's last years roundup.

Benton's 4th Birthday

 Yesterday, the 28th was Benny's fourth birthday.  I can't believe my baby boy is four!  It seems like we just had his last birthday.  Time really is a thief!  We had so much celebrating him.  We picked up doughnuts for breakfast (Krispy Kreme had $5 dozens this week!) and enjoyed a slower morning prepping for a little party.   We invited a few family members over for lunch and cake.  We went back and fourth on whether or not to invite friends but decided to keep it small and just family because of the ongoing virus.  

Now for party details, we served one of Benny's favorites for lunch- hot dogs!  We kept it simple with a veggie tray, dips, hot dogs with toppings, chips, drinks, and of course the cake (lemon flavored requested by Benny).  I reused the blue birthday banner from his 2nd birthday party.  We already had the striped straws and cups leftover from another party so I just picked up napkins and plates from the Dollar Tree.  I had Publix blow up some in his favorite color blue balloons and a big number four balloon.  This was one of the easiest parties we've had yet in terms of prepping but I love how it turned out.  We all had a great time and made some sweet memories with our sweet boy.
