Menu Plan Monday Sept. 2

Happy Labor Day!!

We are having Baby Sid’s first birthday party this coming weekend.  And let’s be honest here.  I really have no plans for dinner.

I am still gonna have to make dinner, I know, but it will be a surprise!

Since the party is this weekend I have tons of stuff to do this week, so I know that dinners will be made on the fly.  Even if I did plan stuff, it wouldn’t get made.

The crockpot will probably get used more than once this week.

I have been making some great decorations for the party

Thank you tags for the guest gifts

Menu Plan Monday Aug 26

I have a portable high chair that I usually take to other people’s houses.  Because not everybody has a high chair at their house.  I know, shocker right?

Recently I forgot it.  Look how I improvised.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Carefree

Carefree

Footloose and fancy free

This weeks photo challenge topic is Carefree.

I have always felt carefree during summer.

When I was little I would start the day in my swimsuit and wouldn’t take it off till bed time, if then.  We would spend all day outside, swimming, playing in the sprinkler or in the tree house.  We would go to the park and camping.

We would consume massive amounts of Popsicles.

As I got older the summers turned into me and my future hubby taking off to go camping or a drive to the beach for some surfing.  Well, surfing for him, not me, our coastal waters are too cold for me to get into.

Now that I have children I still love summer time and all that comes with it.

And the fact that Baby Sid is so happy in the water

My mom has always had the perfect yard for a slip n’ slide

And nothing says Carefree like taking a bath outside in a wash tub that has seen every baby bottom in our family

For me Carefree = Summer

 

Happy Shooting
