 Hey loves. How is your week going? We are finally warming up, started some prep for our vacation, and so many meetings between work and PTA.

 Hey loves. Happy Wednesday. As I am writing this on Tuesday, fingers crossed all 3 kids will be back to school tomorrow. I have had one child home everyday for the past 3 weeks. Between stomach bugs and the flu I am over sick season. Is your house staying healthy?

 Hey friends. The holidays are in full swing. This year has not gone as planned at all. The stress of a picture perfect holiday, checking everything off our Christmas bucket list is not going to happen. As a mom it is the hard reality that I can't control everything. So far my kids haven't complained that we haven't done xyz and we are making the best of our current situation.

 Hey friends. How is your holiday shopping coming? Did you know with Thanksgiving the last week of November (not just the 4th Thursday), this is the shortest amount of time between Thanksgiving and Christmas. I hate to say I have barely started shopping. I also have no real ideas of what to get anyone. Besides Brian he is going to be easy this year.

 Hey friends. Have you started thinking about the holidays yet? It is October already and I usually have already started shopping, if not finished my shopping. I have not even started yet, I feel like we are already behind. Yesterday and Today is also Amazon prime deals and again I feel like the deals suck. Over the summer was the same way, they raised the base price to make it look like it was on sale. Are you finding any good deals on Amazon?

I am linking up today with Erika and Shay for this month's Let Look How We Prep for the Holiday Season. This is the kick in the butt I need to start planning and get organized.

 Hey friends. Back to school schedules with sports and homework is in full swing. Tonight my youngest starts soccer for the season. This season she not only has games every Saturday she also has practice every Wednesday at dinner time. I am looking ahead at our schedule for next week and there is something every night. Our weeknights are getting hectic which means we either have to eat dinner early or later. I prefer early because my kids come home hungry, then they can have a snack after activities instead of a full meal right before bed. This is also where meal planning comes into play. If I know it is going to be a hectic night I plan quick dinners sometimes in the crockpot or instant pot, or something quick on the stove. We avoid take out if we can.

 Hey friends. How is your summer going? We have been having lots of fun, and it is going by to quick. I feel like I also can't get caught up on anything. Throw in a holiday, Brian out of town for work then came home sick, summer camp, and more my life has been hectic. I wouldn't change it, minus Brian being sick.

 Hey friends. Summer is upon us. This summer I already know is going to be hectic, fly by the wind in our pants. I say all this as we are still going to try and have a schedule with routine for our family and lots of fun. 

My dream summer would be my three kids playing nicely together, playing outside, not making horrible messes everywhere, not saying "I'm bored" a hundred times a day or "I have nothing to do", lots of fun swimming in our little pool, and not fighting. Add in two extra kids that I nanny two days a week to the fun of everyone getting along. Now I am being a big dreamer. 

Back to reality even though this summer will be crazy for us on different aspects such as Brian working two jobs, Ella going back and forth to her dads, Austin is in a summer reading camp, Ella and Anna have safety town (Ella is working it), two extra kids, no big vacation planned... We still want to make some great memories and make our days go as smooth as possible. That's where some routines, expectations, chores, Summer Bucket List, I'm bored jar (which I am sharing all about tomorrow). 

  Hey friends.  How is your week going? Today starts our new schedule with Anna going to preschool in the morning (instead of the afternoon) then having speech therapy. It will make my days a little less crazy when I have my girlfriends daughter and not running a amuck at the same time as my other two are getting home from school. This also gives me 3 hours ish 3 days a week free in the morning to myself.

 Hey friends. Happy Wednesday and Happy Valentine's Day. We are halfway through the week. 

It's time for some fun. I am linking up with Erika and Shay today for this month's Let Look, Little Things We Do Every Single Day. 

 Hey friends. Erika and Shay are back at it again this year with monthly Let's Look topics. This months topic couldn't have come at a better time. I have been putting off cleaning, organizing, and purging. I want a fairy to come to my house and magically make everything clean, organized and downsized while I am sleeping. Wouldn't that be awesome. I know this mama is dreaming. I also kept using the excuse, "I'll do it when we get back from vacation" then it went to  "I'll do it once all our Christmas decorations are down". Yesterday I took the time to clean my closet and it feels great to have it done. 

 Hey loves. How is your week going? My kids had off on Monday for a professional development day and I can't tell you what day it is. Last week I was off too with Halloween in the middle of the week. Maybe after Christmas things will slow down.  

Today I am linking up with Erika and Shay for Let's Look.

 Hey loves. We are halfway through the week. It is feeling like fall, I have a pumpkin candle burning, Halloween themed books I am reading and listening to, now I just want some Apple Cider to go along with it all.
