Happy Summer Y'all!

Free Printable: {Summer} Schedule

{I made this printable for planning our summer but you 

could absolutely use it anytime!}

This weekend I started thinking about what the kids and I are going

to do this summer while they're out of school.  I'd love to say that 

I could just send them outside to play in the backyard all day

everyday but that's just not going to happen in the 

South Texas heat, where it'll be 100+ degrees for 100+ days

in a row.  It's just not.

So, I spent the morning researching things that we could do 

for free and/or cheap that would be fun for the kids 

{and air conditioned!}

We have a membership to the SA Children's Museum

so I knew that it would make it on the list for a weekly

trip, my kids love the Children's museum!

While researching this morning, I found out that 

Regal Cinemas will be offering $1 kids movies

on Tuesdays and Wednesdays this summer!

We love, love, going to the movies so that 

definitely made it on the list too!

We're absolutely going to the pool a bunch this Summer!

We'll be making trips to the library on Thursdays,

and letting the kids choose the activities on Fridays!

Kaylee's Pink Princess Room!

I've been slacking on taking pictures of the house,

I just get bogged down in day to day life, and forget about taking them (oops).

I finally went through and organized Kaylee's room so I figured I would

get a few good pics to share before she destroys it again, haha!

I love Kaylee's room.  It makes me so happy every time I go into it.

For me, it's the perfect little girls bedroom.  She picked everything that went into

decor, from the heart quilt and chevron sheets to the +Sofia The First 

decals on the walls.  It's a real life, easy, and adorable bedroom for a five

year old.  

Stackable bins I scored for $6 a piece, Walmart!

Chalkboard form Ikea

Heart Quilt and Chevron Sheets from Target!

Don't you love her mason jar of faux flowers!?

I made her headband and bow holders a few years ago

when her room was more green and purple,

but I think they still match well enough.

She's really proud of her room, in fact this morning she said

"I just love my room, it's so awesome!"

That's my Bug!

What do you think? 

Karter's First Birthday Mustache Bash!

This weekend we had Karter's first birthday party,

I really can't believe that my sweet baby boy is one already, 

seems like just yesterday I was lying in the OR FaceTime-ing

with Lorne in Afghanistan while he was born.

Karter has been such a beautiful surprise for our family and

I can't imagine my life with out him in it.

Here's the invitation we used (I've blurred the address)

I love a good pun!

Soda Labels are from the Mustache Madness collection from BirthdayDirect.com 

Mustache Straws and Lollies from OrientalTrading.com

I created the printables with graphics from JW Illustrations

We had Stache Sugar Cookies and Manly Crunch (Apple Slices)

Chocolate Cigars (Pirouettes)

M&M Mini Tubes as Favors

Root Beers for the grown ups

and Milk Mustaches (Chocolate Milks)

for the kiddies

Real Man (Red Velvet) Cupcakes

I bought the cupcakes because I didn't have time to make them,

the party was at my mom's house, which is a five hour drive

from our house so store bought it was--don't judge me!

With mustache picks from Oriental Trading

Ranch Bowtie Pasta

(Recipe on Green Lunches, Green Kids)

My famous(ly easy) pulled pork sliders with pickle toppers

More of the Mustache Madness collection party supplies

and here's some more fun pics of the family! 

Happy First Birthday, my sweet baby!

and one more for funsies!

 

Free Printable : Mustache Valentines

Hey guys, everyone busy getting ready for Valentine's Day?

I wanted to share with you what Kolton will be taking to school

to share with his little buddies.

I found these awesome self adhesive mustaches at +Target only $1.50

for 8 of them!  I plan to stick them to Kolton's valentine cards I

designed up last week, I'll probably add some candy also because,

well I love candy! 

I made a non personalized version available for download here.

I got ours printed at a local photo place, they're sized just right for 

4x6 prints, but if you wanted to print them at home there is a

version with smaller cards that will print on a sheet

of regular printer paper here:

I like getting things printed at photo labs though, 

mainly just to save my ink, 

but I do think they look better,

and you don't have to cut them out.

Enjoy!

Pirates and Princesses Birthday Party!

This weekend we had Kolton and Kaylee's annual Birthday Bash!

This year's theme was Pirates and Princesses!

Everyone said they had a great time and I know

Kolton and Kaylee had a blast!  

I had fun designing and planning ever detail of their big day, 

from the invitations to the printables to the food.

I love making their parties special for them.

One of the new things I decided to do at their party this year was 

a DIY Photo Booth, I got the props pre made at walmart

they were perfect for our party and everyone fun being silly!

Here's just a few of our fun photos:

Pirate Kolton

Princess Kaylee and Queen Nanny

Free Printable : Wi Fi Password Sign

Hey guys!

Kolton and Kaylee's party is coming up soon,

and the families are coming to visit,

we're going to have a full house for sure.

I didn't want to have to dig around for the piece

of paper that has our wifi password on it

every time someone needed it:

So I whipped up this handy sign,

laminated it,

and pinned it to my bulletin board.

Hope you like it!
