    Toddler Girl Dance, Cheer, and Athletic Wear

    December 20, 2024 /

    Roan is the busiest person in our household right now! She has dance, cheer, gymnastics, and the occasional twirling lesson. I linked my favorite athleticwear/leo sites below, plus some direct Amazon links for specific items, including dance shoes and tights. Please also enjoy these pictures of her over the past year and a half. I love seeing how much she has grown! cheekplum.com sweethoneyclothing.com

    I’m thankful for a magical trip to Disney last week with our family. It was perfect weather, and the kids had a blast. Lake was tall enough to ride some new rides like Thunder Mountain and Slinky Dog Dash and Roan met several princesses.

    Lake is in his last year of preschool and Roan just started her very first. We’re so thankful for the amazing teachers at their school who help them feel loved and ready to learn. Both first-day outfits are from Classic Whimsy.

    Cake: Elizabeth SKelton Cookies: Mammaw’s Sweet Shoope Sign: The Sign Queen Roan started asking for a Merida (from Disney’s Brave) party sooooo long ago. I had fun incorporating details from the movie; Wisps (cotton candy), The Crafty Carver (craft station), targets, Angus the horse, and bright tartan plaids. Happy Birthday to our clan’s princess: Roan. See bottom of post for linked party items.

    Paris Olympics 2024

    August 21, 2024 /

    Ever since I was little, it has been a dream of mine to go to the Olympics. Every four summers, I bury myself in whatever sport is on at that moment and I stay up way too late watching live coverage. Gymnastics and swimming have always been my favorites- I can so clearly remember watching Michael Phelps, Shawn Johnson, Gabby Douglas, and Ryan Lochte over the years on tv – but I lose myself in the stories about all of the athletes and their dreams, no matter the sport. I learn something new with every match of volleyball, every leg of the decathlon, every mile of speed walking. We originally…

    Below are some items that make travel easier for me: *These silicone bottle covers are life-changing. I always have issues with toiletries leaking and these really work! None of my bottles leak when I use them and they are super stretchy *Cute luggage tags that stand out on my boring black luggage and help me find my bags at the airport *I used to use gallon Ziploc bags for all of my toiletries but I recently got these plastic packing cubes and I love them. They’re reusable and high-quality *Carpe setting spray is fantastic- It genuinely helps my makeup stay put even when I get really sweaty *Comfy neck pillow…

    Kentucky Derby 150

    May 7, 2024 /

    It was a gorgeous- albeit a little wet on Friday and a little hot on Saturday- weekend in Louisville. I am thankful for mostly beautiful weather and two great days of racing. This weekend marked a big milestone, as it was the 150th running of the Kentucky Derby. The KY Derby has been held on the first Saturday of May very year since its inaugural event in 1875 with the exception of two years: in 1947 it was held in June due to the end of WWII, and in 2020 it was pushed to September due to COVID. There are so many special elements about the derby; I personally love…
