What We're Eating This Week
On Monday, we enjoyed my Tomato and Mozzarella Pasta! The kids had the leftovers last night - even Paisley! Girlfriend loves any kind of pasta! You can find that recipe here
What I'm Reminiscing About
School. On September 11th, Lacie will start preschool. Five days a week - only half days though. My heart can't handle anything else just yet. She will be going to the same preschool that I went to. Coincidentally she will also be young like me - all the other kids will turn 5 over the course of the year but Lacie won't turn 5 until a few weeks before Kindergarten - which is only one year away! Her starting school is something that is very bittersweet! I am so excited for her to have some independence and learn and meet friends...but at the same time I can't believe how fast these four years have flown by!
What I'm Loving
The mornings are getting a little bit cooler and I know that fall weather is almost here!
What We've Been Up To
So much Birthday Celebrating! I turned 30 on August 1st and Lacie turned 4 on August 19th! John took a week off from work and we did fun activities with the girls everyday - Build A Bear, Sesame Place, the shore, the movies, etc! August was a really fun month!
What I'm Dreading
John's fall work schedule. We truly had the most amazing two months of John being home every single day at 2:30! The fall will be the opposite. He will work crazy late hours and most days will be gone from 6:00 am until well after the kids go to bed at 6:30pm. I hate his school year schedule. It's wonderful because it allows me to be a stay at home mom - which was always my dream. But it's hard on me and especially hard on the kids!
What I'm Working On
Cleaning out our house! Over the weekend, John and I did a major purge and there is still more to do. We got rid of clothes that were too small/too worn out. We got rid of broken toys. We got rid of things the girls don't play with anymore. We got rid of things the baby doesn't need anymore. Everytime we get rid of stuff, I think of this:
What I'm Excited About
Creating some new fall recipes over the next few weeks - and of course making some of my fall favorites!!!
You can find some of my fall favorites here!

What I'm Watching/Reading
I am taking any and all book suggestions! Seriously I need to read a lot more than I currently do! Lacie and Blakely got Kindles for Lacie's birthday (it's funny how that works right - I know Mom's of two kids - especially close in age - can relate). I definitely want to make a point of reading on the kindle at night!
What I'm Listening To
The Mother Goose Club...have you ever seen this show?!? I randomly put it on for the kids one day - thinking it sounded educational. It's not. It's a bunch of songs by some very strangely dressed children. But my kids are hooked on this! We have two witching hours in my house - the one before nap and the one before bed - and if I put this on all three kids stop crying/whining/trouble making and watch. They watch it like little kid zombies. If you have Netflix and little kids you should definitely check it out. You may hate me for it but your kids will probably love it!
What I'm Wearing
My very favorite Hue black leggings and a long sleeve t-shirt!
Seriously these leggings are my very favorite! Ever!
What I'm Doing This Weekend
Swimming! Only one week of the pool left!
and also
More Cleaning...insert one of those sad face emojis here...
What I'm Looking Forward to Next Month
So.Many.Things.
1. The start of fall - fall weather, apples, pumpkins! Everything fall excites me!
2. Lacie going to preschool
3. Lacie starting dance again
4. Blakely going to her first dance class
5. Lacie starting soccer
6. Having some special one on one time with Blakely while Lacie is at preschool and Paisley takes her morning nap
What Else Is New
Paisley is crawling and standing! I have a feeling that she will be an early walker like Blakely! Blakely took her first steps at 9.5 months and less than a month later was running! We used to joke that she needed a helmet!
What is Your Favorite Back to School Tradition
I don't have any yet!!! This will be the first year I send Lacie to school. So I cannot wait to read about everyone's back to school traditions and start one this year!
That pasta looks amazing! I have the exact leggings and love them as well.
