Sadly enough, summer is almost over and the kids are back at school. I like summertime but also love sticking to a schedule 🙂 During the summer I try to focus on all the fun things. But unfortunately all good things must come to and end, and reality hits hard. My top priority is getting my home back in order once the kids are back at school. I’ve put off MANY things because quite honestly I can’t think straight when they’re constantly asking me for snacks, tv and wrestling around the house.
Since I have a new kindergartener this year I thought I’d come up with a list of tricks I used to help transition those late summer nights into early school days. It’s a known fact: KIDS NEED ROUTINES! Routines give kids a sense of security and help them develop self-discipline. These tips will help you ease back into the school year without a hiccup and will get your little one excited for school to start back up again.
This week we have teamed up with our bestie Val from Lovely Lucky Life to share a few of our favs from Amazon. Don’t worry we will still have our full haul for this month!
In the past few months both my boys have had birthdays so this momma has been gift shopping via Amazon, two days before their big days!
Sorry I missed my month of July finds – its been an emotional roller coaster in my life lately and a few things had to fall to the side. The amazon orders were still pouring in don’t worry!
The great thing about Amazon is its always a mix of what we can find from fashion to food !
Somehow I have found three coverups that are so good, plus a bonus is you can wear them outside of the pool too!

So I’m going to share a lot of my heart today, my miscarriage story. How I felt in the moment, the truth about miscarriages and how to move forward.
This was written the day I got home from my D & C.
Nine weeks ago I got a positive pregnancy test- which lead to all the happy and excited feelings. We took family pictures to announce our growing family. We told close friends and all of our family. We were closing in on the final chapter in growing our family. Our boys were talking about how they only wanted a baby brother, they didn’t want a sister.
Let’s face it, life is busy and it’s hard to find time to hit the gym AND eat healthy! Today I am sharing all of my favorite fitness related things! Also, I am not a fitness guru. You can still find me sneaking dino nuggets and wine for dinner some nights!
We wanted to round up a few picks for the men too. Send your guy this post or buy him a few things. We can’t always just shop for ourselves right?

Tips | Tricks | Details for Nordstrom Anniversary Sale
When:
Where: Shopping online is where it is at. You can find links for everything right here on our blog, Instagram, and Facebook. Don’t forget to download and follow us in the LiketoKnowit app.
Tip 1: Do a quick inventory of what you and your family need for fall and winter. Coats, boots, jeans. Also, think about Christmas items for family that you want to grab now on sale to save later.
Tip 2: Set a budget… stick to the budget.
Tip 3: Order fast. So many items sell out fast. I add to my cart and do a quick checkout. Remember you can always make returns too. So I am not against ordering in two sizes.
Tip 4 : We will be breaking down posts into categories so it is very easy to shop.
Tip 5: Set your alarm to shop the sale. Two years ago I thought getting up early with the kids was fine – nope so many things I wanted sold out. Side note totally not the end of the world.
Tip 6: If you do have a Nordy card don’t forget to request your double points on the day you are shopping.
