I’m am currently in the wonderful state of Wyoming, I’m a Melanoma survivor, wife of a wonderful man, and mommy of twin girls and another little girl who I swear is a 14 year old in a 4 year old body. We are currently expecting our first little man to our bunch and cant wait for that adventure. (He has to come out sometime right!?) We just finished building our first house and I cant wait to make it into our home. I have so many ideas running through my head sometime I cant sleep!

10 Back To School Ideas

It’s coming! Can I just tell you how excited I am for school to start. Don’t get me wrong I love my girls, but towards the middle of August the anxiety and excitement starts and it becomes so overwhelming for them that they become like little monsters! Am I the only one this happens to? By this time next month all the kiddos will be back in school and I will have some semblance of order once again in my house! Thank the Lord!! Lately I have been skimming over Pinterest to check out some back to school tips and tricks to help me and my kids get ready for the school year! I found some really cute ideas. I’m guilty of pinning tons of things and never doing anything with them EVER! (You don’t do that do you?) Well these ideas are really useful and super cute without taking a TON of work and time out of my day. I’m the kind of person that likes to put things together that are fast and easy so these are right up my alley. Check out my list of 10 back to school ideas that you might actually use.

When do you know your done having children? The answer is you don’t. At least in my case. I think I will always have that feeling that “Oh ya I could have one more!” or “Look at how cute those little toes are, we could do that again!” But at some point you think I cant have babies forever no matter how adorable and squishy they are. Babies are a lot of work and expense and for some families its just not a reality to have any more.

Free Printable

If you haven’t noticed we are doing a theme this week and it all about lemons! I think lemon is my all time favorite flavor. I love it in my cleaning supplies and in my desserts and even in my Scentsy. I wanted to come up with something fun to do for the week so I made this printable for you guys to print out and feel the freshness of lemons in your home! Plus, it has a special meaning for me as well. My husband and I started dating over a bowl of lemon drops! So, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Now I am NOT a seamstress by any means. I sort of just winged it. I started by getting a yard of knit fabric and measured around some of his other pants and adding two inches. I cut the crotch on the fold of the fabric. I then cut out another one and laid them right sides together. I sewed along the crotch and both sides of the legs. I then turned them right side out. I got another strip of fabric about 12 inches long and 5 inches wide to make the waist band, I sewed the 2 sides together to make it a loop.  You could always add some elastic at this point but I liked the idea of a sort of yoga pant top. I started to gather one side of the pants and pined them to the waistband and went all the way around. Make sure your gathers are even on the back and front of the pants. This is the trickiest part. All I did then was to cuff the bottoms and I tried them on my little guy. The legs were a little fatter then I wanted them so I went in another inch around the crotch and that made it tons better.
