Star Spangled Kids

Happy almost 4th of July! It’s one of my most favorite holidays. Bring on the red, white, and blue!
These two. Always up to trouble. 

Hudson is so excited for 4th of July! He’s keeps explaining to me what fireworks are….he uses big hand gestures for the explosion and everything. It’s the best. 

Sadie took her first real steps this week! But will not do it on camera. I can’t wait to capture some photos of those legs walking…because trust me, it’s the best. 

Bathing suit brought to you by yours truly, circa 1985. Thank goodness my mom saved everything.  

And I’m dead from the cute.

Dead. 

Miss thing cannot be contained…even by one of her favorite people in the whole wide world. 

Cheers to a fun filled 4th of July!

Thankfully our Scout Elf, Spike, showed up this morning with an @elfontheshelf official Scout Elf Carrier and an Elf Pets Official Carrier for our reindeer too! Now our North Pole pals can safely travel with us wherever we go! The kids had so much fun taking their pals on a winter walk to enjoy the snow! And see that cute little stowaway in Belle’s arms? Meet the Bogie – a brand new friend from the North Pole who is ready for some love and adventures! I just love enjoying all of these magical moments with my kids. It really does not get any better than this! #elfontheshelf #elfpets
#ad It’s that time of year! Time to make sure yo #ad It’s that time of year! Time to make sure your child is up to date on their well-child visits and vaccines! As the chief advocate for my kids, I always want to make decisions that are the best for them and for our family. There isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for these little loves of mine, and I know all of you can relate! That is why I vaccinate my kids. Vaccinating your child is one of the safest and most effective things you can do to protect them against serious preventable diseases. If you live in Michigan like we do, it’s time to schedule that well-child visit and make sure your kids are up to date on their vaccinations! I’ve done a lot of research and talked to our pediatrician at length about what is best for my family and I would encourage you to do so too. It’s normal to have questions—it makes you a good parent! But make sure you are getting answers from credible sources. Remember, vaccines are safe, effective, and help protect everyone. Ultimately I decided to vaccinate my children because not doing so puts them at risk of contracting a potentially deadly disease. I want the best for my kids. If you have questions or need a reliable resource, check out @IVaccinateMI for information and tools based on real medical science and research to help Michigan parents protect their kids from vaccine-preventable diseases.

Every year our Scout Elf, Spike, brings Christmas cheer and happiness to our house along with some special goodies…and this year, he did not disappoint! Spike brought along some Christmas magic through a brand-new Elf Pets reindeer and a new collection of special books from the creators of The Elf on the Shelf.
