Are you craving a new routine? I’ve learned that the transitional time between seasons often leaves me feeling a little off-balance, but within about a week or so from the shift, I start to feel more at ease.
This is Emily’s last year in pre-school! And it’s at the same school I’ve sent the boys to, and the one I started David in for the “Mother’s Morning Out” program. It’s hard to imagine having all 3 kids at the elementary school together in a year!
David is starting 3rd grade, and Luke will be starting 2nd. I’m so glad they are finally together in school (well, they are in different grades but they are at the same school)! Remember when we chose to homeschool Luke for his kindergarten year instead of having him do it online?
I have to admit, we’ve had a bit of a “fake fall” weather pattern in Raleigh and while I’m fully appreciating the brief reprieve from the humidity, I am not ready to be done with summer!
Speaking of fall, I shared a round-up of 4 different white(ish) sneakers for a casual outfit on the blog this week. You can read it here.
And here are a few things I mentioned on Instagram Stories recently that you may have missed:
Zella Tank – nice and long, covers your bum a bit!

Random question- have you found it difficult to remove the Goodlines tape? I ordered some and then saw all of the warnings about not using while pregnant (which I am) and was scared off. Curious to hear how you’ve found the removal process to be and if you follow their instructions with the oil? Thanks!!
