Good-bye Summer!

Summer-to-do-checklist!
Just like that.. our summer has come to an end.  Well.. except for the fact that we still need to ride bikes and have a pillow fight.  I take our summer to do list seriously and don’t stop until all items have been checked off.

So this next weekend will be busy. ;)

Before we move on with all things Fall on the blog (so excited for September!) I’m sharing some random pics I found on my camera from the past few months.  My farewell to summer!  I’m sad to see it end.

And also not. :)

Back to School Organization

Operation-Organization-Collage-Day 2
It’s that time, isn’t it!?  Kids are heading back to school!  Which means back to school organization time!  My favorite. :) I know a lot of schools have started already.  My kids start on Monday and like always, I have mixed emotions.  Not quite ready for waking up early, packing lunches, homework and a jam packed schedule, but definitely excited for a bit more structure and routine around here.  I also can’t wait to have a few quiet hours to myself again during the day!  This mom needs to get on a better work schedule.  Blogging from 10:00 p.m. until 2:00 am each night (the only calm and quiet around here) can only be sustained for so long.  :)

Closet Organization (tips and tricks)

It’s that time!  Kids are heading back to school.  This is the last week of summer for my three kids so we are savoring our low key days a bit longer!  Just like every year, we’ve been doing a few things all month to get ready for the new school year.  After buying my kids new school clothes (you can see what my girls are wearing here and what my little buddy is wearing here) it was time for some major closet organization.  Out with the old and in with the new!  I just love a good closet clean out. :)

Happy Friday everyone!  I have so many fun favorites to share today!  Along with some past favorites that are on sale!  Is anyone else getting excited for Fall decorating?  We are still in summer mode around here (my kids have one more week off before school starts!) but I’m so looking forward to cooler days and pumpkin spice everything.  I have been on the hunt for a navy throw for this living room chair for almost a year now!  Finally found “the one.” :)

Shiplap display wall

framed-shiplap-wall
Sharing a fun new update at my house with you all today!  It’s a shiplap display wall and I’m so excited about it!  Remember when I had my carpenter put up shiplap in Kole’s new room?  I loved it so much that I decided we needed a little more of it.  I don’t think I’ll ever be able to get enough white molding/planks in my life. :)

When Summer Takes Over (and thoughts on blogging)

pink-flamingo
Friends!  Crickets have been chirping on the blog lately.  And to be honest, I’m not really a fan of crickets.  Taking a week off from my blog was not planned!  Summer officially took over at my house and I have been literally on the go non-stop for the past two weeks.  All good things!  Just things that have kept me so busy I haven’t had time to brush my teeth, let alone post. ;)

Back to School Clothes! (what my little boy is wearing)

gray-dress-pants
Well.  We certainly can’t do a fashion post on back to school clothes for my girls and leave this little one out now can we? :)  In my last post I shared what my girls are wearing back to school and I mentioned in that post that shopping with those two isn’t quite the picnic it used to be!  They are good shoppers, but are much more picky about what they like and don’t like to wear than they used to be.  Finding clothes they love (and that I at least like!) and that fit well is quite a process.  Makes shopping for my little man that much more enjoyable!  Here’s how his back to school shopping went down…

I headed to www.nordstrom.com.  Looked up boys clothes on sale sizes 4-7.  Click click click click.  Checkout and DONE.  I ordered his whole wardrobe for next year in less than 15 minutes.  Ha!  Love it.  Nordstroms just makes it too easy!  I even ordered his shoes on-line because with Nordstroms great customer service and easy return policy I knew I could return anything that didn’t fit.  Plus the free shipping!  You can’t beat that.  Busy moms love Nordstroms.  They have such a great selection of kids’ clothes.  I found some cute things that I loved and that I knew Kole would love too.  Of course.. he’s pretty easy to please. :)

Back to school clothes! (what my girls are wearing)

shoes
The start of a new school year is right around the corner!  As much as I love summer, I always look forward to back to school prep.  Maybe it’s because I taught school for 6 years.  Maybe it’s because by August I’m ready for a little more routine in our schedule.  Or maybe it’s just because shopping for school supplies and new school clothes is one of my all time favorite things to do.

Yup.  I think that last reason takes the cake. :)

Favorite Home Decor from the Nordstroms Sale!

I love clothes. And I totally get the hype about all the great fashion deals happening right now during the Nordstroms Anniversary Sale. I’m completely stoked about the fun Fall clothes I scored (you can see my round #1 picks here and my round #2 picks here) and I can’t wait to wear them! BUT. Sometimes I think my favorite section of Nordstroms gets overlooked with all the fashion hype. And that just seems like a complete injustice. Unfair favoritism! A crying shame! A wrong I need to right.

Wow. I guess I feel more strongly about this than I realized I did. :)

I shop at Nordstroms Home all the time and some of my favorite things in my house are from that beloved little department that all too often gets overlooked.  I’ve rounded up my favorite pics from the Home Decor section today and I’m in love with them all! Some of these favorites I already have, some I’ve just bought and others are things I’ve had my eye on for a while now.

A summer party

flamingo

{Umbrellas/Pillows/Towels/Flamingo}

Last Saturday we hosted a summer party for my husband’s firm.  I have to admit.  I was a little nervous.  I host summer parties at my house all the time of course, but they usually include pizza, popsicles and large groups of guests who range between 5 and 12 years old.  Guests who sometimes fight over our flamingo floaty.

Nobody fought over our flamingo floaty at this party.  :)
