I mostly welcome Monday’s.  Most of the times….ok…sometimes I just welcome structured days and it doesn’t have to be Monday!

However, I am looking forward to our summer days of just flying by the seat of our pants!  This past weekend was too busy.  I’m talking about the kind of busy when we agreed to host too many kids, over commit on our children’s activities, grocery shopping at 8am on a Sunday morning, (only because we were out of everything), and then finding out later while putting away said groceries that our basement flooded!  Sigh…

Among all the chaos we always manage to have fun and still make time for our weekly movie dates.  This weekend the hubby and girls saw “the BEST movie EVER!”, and my girls will highly recommend it to anyone!

We also celebrated Cino de Mayo!  Ole’!

The girls also went wild clipping the lilac!  They filled a LOT of vases and my house smells wonderful!

Hope you had a great weekend!

All for now!

Its the little things that I photograph daily so I can remember tomorrow or years down the road that will mean the most to me and my children.

My boys share a bedroom. Their space is small, but then again so are my boys and they don’t need much at this age, although they seem to have the most when comparing my girls possessions. Last year when planning out their new room I turned to IKEA for inspiration.  I absolutely love how this store caters to small spaces and promotes a functional and organized living space.  My boys thrive on “having a place for everything”, while my girls  just live with small piles here and there. To each its own…I guess.

My challenge to you: Ask yourself how your children live?  Pull out your camera and document “their” space. Photograph what means the most to them, because we all know next week or next month it will be something new.  Sigh…they grow and change too fast!

Here’s a few happy snaps of my little Peyton enjoying his cozy space.

All for now!

Something that makes me smile.

Love that my little Emily is very creative when it comes to baking.

What made you smile this weekend?

All for now.

I LOVE shopping in the cities!  AND…even more so…as my little people are growing…I LOVE shopping by myself in the cities (of course I have my girlfriends in tow)!  I actually get to venture into stores I would never think of setting foot into when my boys are with me!  Hellooooo Crate and Barrel!  It is so much fun just to wander, touch, look, ponder, mosey, and just be free for a day without having to look after someone or wipe any little bottoms!   sigh….

Here are a few phone happy snaps form a recent shopping trip.

IKEA’s Chocolate Cake…..YUMMY!!!

LOVE this light!

Looking at this drum….doesn’t it make you want to go watch the Karate Kid part 2?

“Wax on….Wax off!  Show me….sandthefloor!”

All for now!

I hope your Easter weekend was relaxing and you spent it surrounded by your friends and family.

One tradition we’ve added to our Easter celebration is a visit to the Govin’s Farm in Menomonie.  If you have yet to make a visit, I suggest you add it to your list of things to do with your kids.

All for now.
