kids first day of school We are a little late getting started, but today is officially the girls first day of (home)school.
kids a week of camps Last week was busy! Emma was in horse camp all week. The week leading up to camp she kept saying she didn't want to go, but of course she ended up having a great time (like I knew she would). Olivia was at cheerleading camp all week. On the last

kids tea party It has been a looooong time since I've done one of these. This time it was Olivia's turn. I did plenty of tea parties for Emma, but Olivia has never had one of her own... until today. I pulled out all the tea party decorations! Throwback tea party photos. Look
