Are you team sleeves or no sleeves in the spring? Are you team sleeves or no sleeves in the spring?  I love showing off my shoulders once it starts warming up but I also know how fickle spring can be and it’s never a bad idea to have a few light, long sleeve items for spring.

It’s Saturday!! This is probably the busiest Sat It’s Saturday!! This is probably the busiest Saturday we have had in a year. Outside projects this morning, soccer and then a small celebration for one of my favorite people’s 40th birthday. Is it just me or do you get super excited when you get to see your people in person now?  I feel like any little excursion gets me excited.

You can wear it under your dress or on top and knotted on the hip. It not only allows you to wear a regular bra 🙌🏼 but it adds a layer making it more visually interesting. I popped a belt on with some bright flats and finished the look off with a hat. Spring time perfection.

I grabbed this dress from @shopimpressions. Tee is @target as well as the hat and belt.

This came in from @eloquii yesterday and I couldn’t resist the urge to wear it today. It’s two pieces so this white shirt dress is definitely going to get some use this summer as a coverup.  You can shop this and all my daily looks at @liketoknow.it by following me in the app and screenshotting this picture. Easiest shopping ever.

I was reading somewhere that people with anxiety t I was reading somewhere that people with anxiety tend to watch the same shows over and over again. The theory is because it is predictable it’s easier to watch and has a calming effect. Fast forward to me switching between Grey’s Anatomy, Schitt’s Creek and The New Girl when I’m stressed out. Do you do this too?? Tell me I’m not alone!

Amazon Essentials are some of my go to knit pieces. They are comfortable, true to size and hold up well to a wash and wear lifestyle.  I’m rounding up a few of my favorites on @liketoknow.it. They have a jumpsuit that was my uniform last summer and it should be in your closet.

I feel like all of my posts are about the weather I feel like all of my posts are about the weather lately. But seriously. It’s still cold. They tell me it’s going to warm up this week but I’m worried it’s just fake spring. That groundhog said, I said six more weeks of winter.

Ok so I’m going to give you a tip. Grab a new winter coat now. They are on sale and you probably need a new one. God knows I did when Justin got me this window pane coat for Christmas.  Linking a few on my @liketoknow.it

It’s very cold and I have run out of cute things to wear while semi freezing. It’s just not worth it. My clothes are not made for wind and super cold temps. Is there a brand you love that makes warm clothes for the freezing days?  This southerner needs advice.

Kids Birthday Parties

Even before I had kids I knew that throwing birthday parties would be one of my favorite parts of being a mom.  I love my birthday and celebrating so it makes sense that I love to throw parties for my kids too.

2020 was the first year that we didn’t throw traditional parties for the boys. Peyton and Paxton had a birthday parade and Porter had a small party with three friends. Like many things in 2020 it was different but still special.

Over the years we have done a variety of different parties for the boys.  I try to focus on something they love and then direct the party from there.  We try to change it up each year just to keep it interesting.  I have written about their parties individually but I thought it would be fun to put them all in one post.

These are a few of my favorites!

Night at the Movies.

The Big’s (Peyton and Paxton) birthday in 2019 was the hardest one to plan yet. They could not decide what they wanted to do and didn’t like any of my ideas. We offered to take them on a trip or to do a special outing with a friend but they really wanted to do a birthday party. After going to an outdoor movie night at our club they asked if we could do something similar at home.

I looked to rent a screen but one of our friends let us borrow theirs and their projector. I set up a hotdog bar and concessions with candy and popcorn. The kids picked out pool floats to use as a mat to lay on when watching the movie. The biggest hiccup was the fact that it was at night and we had to wait for the sun to go down so that meant the movie didn’t start until after 8 and didn’t end until almost 10. Late night but it was so much fun!

It’s Sweet to Be Three.

This was one of the easiest parties I have planned.  Porter loves ice cream so we just started there.  Rolling Cones is a local mobile ice cream parlor that comes to your home.  They have 8 flavors of ice cream plus toppings.  All I had to do was book the date and then I grabbed some decorations and cupcakes.  The kids loved it.

I also booked Sign Gypsie Northshore for the party since I knew we would be in the yard a lot I thought it would be fun.  The kids got a bigger kick out of the sign than I ever thought they would have.

Mad Science Party.

This party was fun for everyone who attended from the adults to the kids.  The Mad Scientists included everyone in attendance making it a fun and educational experience for all.

Mad Science SELA is a full service party company that comes with everything except the cake.  They even provided gift bags for the kids in attendance.

The party was about an hour-long with the scientists going through a variety of experiments.  The finale allowed each child to make their own super ball!

I did some decorating for the cake table and my mom and I made the cake.  It was fun but stressful as I am not a baker and I don’t think I will be doing that again.  You can see my full blog post about the party here or view my pinterest board here.

Frappy Birthday.

We had a major love affair between Pops and Starbucks before his 2nd birthday.  He asked almost daily if he could get a frappuccino and cake pop.  A little Pinterest search brought up tons of ideas and this is what we ended up doing.

The Little Gym.

The Little Gym was one of the simplest parties that we had and went so well we did it two years in a row and I may do it again for Porter next year.  They do so much for you and the party staff is attentive and fun.  The kids can participate in the group activity or they can play on the equipment.  I loved how easy they made it for me and the kids had a blast.

Where the Wild Kings Are.

Porter’s First birthday party was something that all of us planned.  The boys loved reading Where The Wild Things Are with his at night so when I asked them what kind of party they thought he should have they both said this theme.  I was able to find so many ideas on Pinterest and come up with a few on my own.  Having a December birthday I added a hot chocolate bar to make it a little more fun for all of the kids.  His hot chocolate bar has become a staple at his birthday parties.  Check out my Pinterest board here.
