This is real life. The truth is, I'm not that great at it. But this is it, and it is my life. You want me to post pictures of what I wear every day? You'd have a collaboration of different yoga pants, and oversized t-shirts--some worn multiple days in a row {cringe}! You want to know my toddler lunch meal ideas? They often vary between dino nuggets, pb&j, or ravioli--but hey, at least it's the frozen kind and not Chef Boyardee...although that has made a few appearances! You want pictures of my home decor? Well my house is usually a mess. There are dishes in the sink and laundry to be put away. Most days, with my two crazy sidekicks calling the shots, I don't have time to shower, and rarely even do my hair {am I really admitting this in a public forum?!}! But this is life, and it is my life. And I'm lucky enough to get to share it with an amazing husband and the 3 cutest kids in the world, so no matter how you look it, I'm the luckiest!

Happy 4th of July

Every Independence Day, Mike's parents neighborhood has a children's parade complete with a fire engine.  The kids decorate their bikes or scooters and after the fire truck passes your house, you follow behind.  They do another full lap of the neighborhood and then everyone ends up at a certain house for an outdoor pancake breakfast.  It's a super fun tradition.  This year the kids were super excited to decorate their scooters and get to be in the parade with their cousins.  

Evera started out on his scooter for about two seconds, until he heard the fire engine.  
He immediately dropped his scooter in the middle of the road and started screaming and covering his eyes.  Mike tried to take over the scooter and also guide Evera to the house for pancakes, with his eyes covered.
 Eventually Grandpa put Ev on his shoulders so Mike could ride the scooter with both hands.  :)


Evera was still pretty scared, even with Grandpa there.

 Once we got to the house, the firetruck was already parked and the firemen were out getting their breakfast.  Evera refused to even get near the truck though.
 Some of the cousins rode in the wagon instead of riding scooters.  Melia and Vienna rode scooters and Tesla and Lucy rode in the wagon.
 Eventually Evera decided he did want to go check out the fire engine (once I convinced him it would not make any noise).
 The tires were about as tall as he was!
 He was pretty proud of himself for getting so close, and so was I!
 Happy 4th of July!
