The View of a 30-Something Mom of two

You Know You’re a Mom…Favorites

Lilly Pulitzer Insulated Cooler
The other day when I was leaving Adventure Island, I saw this lady carrying a Lilly Pulitzer cooler. It wasn’t just a cooler, it carried her towel, wallet, and anything else she would need while she was there. Before Bennett, I would have had a cute beach bag that would have fit my essentials–a magazine, towel, and sunscreen. Now there is so much I need that I need a small carry on bag in order to get it all in. I picked this up at Dillard’s the other night and am already in love. I can’t wait to try it out! This will be perfect for any outing we go on. 
Stretch Mark Spray Lotion
There are those day that you just have to get out of the house. Monday, was one of them. After Bennett woke up from his morning nap, we ventured out to Babies R Us. While walking around the store, I came across this lotion. I’m all for “wearing those stripes”, but if they can go away I’m not going to not try. So far I am loving this lotion, careful though…it can make the floor really slippery. 
Electrolux Handheld and Stick Vacuum
I actually asked for this a few years ago for Christmas, or some type of holiday. Now that I have Bennett, I use this daily. It converts to a hand held or can be used as a stick vacuum. When you are done you put back on the charging station. Super easy and cleans up even the biggest things like cheerios. 
Archer Farms Coffee  and Blair Waldorf Mug
Now that Bennett eats breakfast in the morning, I don’t really go out for coffee. I actually never should have…but hey, we all learn from our mistakes. Anyways, I generally drink a cup of coffee in the morning with my breakfast and if I go out later in the day I grab a cup of coffee from somewhere Starbucks. 
Father’s Day Gift
I am having so much fun thinking pinning such cute budget friendly crafts for dad. I did one the other day with Bennett’s friend, and it turned out to be super cute. I can’t wait to do this craft this week, and share it with you all. Obviously, after we give to my hubby. 

What is one of your “You Know You’re a Mom…Favorites”?

The sweetest mornings are spent with these three. The sweetest mornings are spent with these three. I love to do our together learning in the morning—which includes @masterbooks and @gospelproject_ devotion. My youngest even joins in for our morning breakfast devotion, and then reads and plays while we complete social studies and science. What’s your special moment each day?
Today my sweet baby turns 8. He has taught my so m Today my sweet baby turns 8. He has taught my so much about being a mother, and I love watching him grow every year. He’s a sweet kid, who loves to be silly. He likes his alone time to play, but also loves when his brother plays with him. He surprises me daily with all the things he knows, and I’m so blessed we’re going on our third year of learning together. He loves his baby sister something big, and she puts up with his shenanigans. We all love to watch him play and grow in baseball, and watching his skills develop over the years has been fun! Happy birthday sweet Bennett! 🎂
I went to school to be a teacher—but I’m kinda I went to school to be a teacher—but I’m kinda liking this mom gig. 💁🏼‍♀️ My baby turns 8 on Sunday and is having his birthday party this weekend. I kept thinking about party favors, and after chatting with some friends about ideas—decided on this! I loved that I wouldn’t be handing out candy or other items that may end up just thrown away. Also, ice cream was always served with cake as a kid so what better way to get your ice cream later 😉
Bless all you kindergarten teachers. Or any of tho Bless all you kindergarten teachers. Or any of those who are telling your students to leave their shoes on and eat a snack (not a meal). Also, any other moms out there that their kid missed their siblings more than you? 🤦🏼‍♀️ oh well, he enjoyed it and his teacher is literally the sweetest thing! How is your first week going? Any case of the kids say the craziest thing? I love the first day of school, and it’s such a special moment to watch and see how each child takes the day and runs with it. 💙

We love making these apple donuts—they are fun for the kids to decorate—add frosting, peanut butter, sprinkles, the list goes on! Kroger now has an amazing new membership that offers FREE next day grocery delivery. They are also giving 2X the fuel points for every dollar spent* on groceries. All of this and much more for $59/Year! We love getting our groceries from Kroger as it saves so much time and money, in more places then just the grocery store.
