@zeezeesfoods never misses with their great snacks @zeezeesfoods never misses with their great snacks for kiddos! Mine can’t get enough of these gluten free half-popped popcorn from Zee Zees – with yummy choices like salsa, sea salt, and cocoa churro, they’re on cloud nine! And the best part? One of my little adventurers has a nut allergy, so the fact that these treats are crafted in a nut-free facility brings me so much peace of mind. 

Sending them off to school with Zee Zees snacks not only keeps them smiling, but it’s also a better-for-you option that aligns perfectly with their needs. And guess what? You can join in on the fun too! Just head over to www.zeezees.com and use the code ZZBTS23 to score 15% off your order! 

Hurry, because snack time waits for no one! #ZeeZeesBackToSchool #sponsored
Finally got to see my fav flowers for my 31st birt Finally got to see my fav flowers for my 31st birthday🌻 

Aug 6 was my birthday! We have been celebrating since the first of the month (and still are)! We planned to do so much for the last two weeks and I’m so happy we were able to do almost everything 😊 

Year 31 is off to a great start 🥰

This summer has been no joke! It's like a never-ending sauna out here 🥵 We’re out here trying to cool off with water balloons, the sprinkler, and even spraying the kids down with the hose. 

Any fun tips to cool ourselves down in the summer sun?
✨ life lately ✨ Oh boy, summer so far has be ✨ life lately ✨ 

Oh boy, summer so far has been a blast! We've been having so much fun going on all sorts of adventures in the past month. I’ve really tried to be more intentional this summer and slow down and enjoy it for as long as possible. I can’t wait for what's in store for the rest of this sun-soaked season. It's going to be great! 😊☀️
Don’t mind me, just out here trying embrace my i Don’t mind me, just out here trying embrace my inner gardener! 🌱

Since moving to Wisconsin and buying our first home, I’ve become the proud owner of the wildest and most chaotic garden around. It thrives on chaos(my specialty), surprises me with unexpected growth (and disappearance), and makes gardening an exhilarating rollercoaster ride 🙃 I’m literally so surprised everytime I walk through my garden! 

We’ve got all kinds of odd flowers I’ve never seen before, trees that might or might not have fruit on them, veggies of some sort growing, BUT I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT IM DOING 🫠

Can someone please teach me gardening 101? 😂🌱
It’s official OFFICIAL…our littlest girl is po It’s official OFFICIAL…our littlest girl is potty trained!! 🥳 🙌🏾

It’s so bittersweet watching my babies growing up so fast. I’m proud of who they’re becoming and all the amazing things they’ll do in the future, but part of me can’t help but feel a little sad. They’ll never be this age again and I’m just trying to soak up as much of this time as I can. Here’s to the bittersweet moments that come with parenthood ♥️♥️♥️
