My submission for Project 52. I captured this picture in my backyard with the Mister's camera and a remote (or timer) Seeing how it's jacket and even some days winter coat season. It's nice to look back on the beautiful days of summer.

Happy Tuesday Everyone!
Here is my submission for this weeks Project 52. I found myself as the camera lady for my sister's wedding back in August. She got married at our local rose garden which I love... The weather was perfect. Plus Mister and I were able to capture those magical moments.
Happy Monday!
Sharing some "Back to School" items I was able to snag during the summer sale at H&M. I'm not sure why it's so hard to "ball on a budget" while shopping for boys. However, I try my best to know when all of my favorite stores have sales. Since my little guy entered middle school last year, we had to sadly stop shopping at GYMBOREE. Even though he could still fit the clothing. I didn't want him to get teased (kids can be so mean no days)... Last year I had to re-introduce myself to H&M. To be honest, the transition to H&M has been awesome.. He loves the clothing and I love the prices. Anywho, check out my haul!
I can't believe we are midway in September (yikes) I could not let this month go by without sharing my August favorites. I hope you guys enjoy the video... This was my second time creating a video on my iMac and let's just say I had no idea what I was doing. In the past, I usually use my iPhone or iPad. However, I really thought I was doing something by using the Mister's T3i camera. Even though we have no idea of where the remote is... Anywho, check out the video and the products that were mentioned.

- Tropical Traditions coconut oil here
- Pixi Nail Polish here (not the same color, just to give you an idea of the brand)
- Victoria Secret Vixen Perfume here
- Downy Unstopables here
- Avocado Oil here (brand I use)
- Simply Natural Caesar Vinaigrette here (my Bj's sells them individually)
So we currently have a heatwave going on in Connecticut. Hence the Sangria ( just kidding). I really dislike when I waste food, and I took some shrimp out and never made them. Luckily for me, they were still fresh and ready to be prepared. Since most Shrimp and grits base is made with some type of pork (as seen in the video below). I just scratched that out. As always, I used what I had on hand. I pretty much had everything except for green onions, heavy cream ( I used half and half). Also, I prepared the grits as directed on the package. I added the shredded cheese to my liking, and allowed the cheese to melt.
Overall, this meal came out delicious and the sangria was just an extra bonus
Back to life, back to reality... So it's been two weeks since my baby started school. I am so proud of the way he is adjusting. I find myself implementing various routines that are working thus far. Since I don't eat meat, and everyone in my home is such a picky eater. I find myself cooking less, and less for my family. **sigh**
(Does his shift look familiar? It's from our Gap shopping haul here)
Anywho, enough about me and my family... how is everything going in your neck of the woods?
As always I will be linking up to Mimi's at Unlikely Martha linkup HERE
Here's my submission for #Project52. This picture was taken at one of our local beaches a couple of years ago. I can't believe that I haven't been to one beach all year ** faints**. Yes, I know... Even though I do not get in the water. It's some about how relaxing the beach atmosphere is.
Any, I hope everyone is having an amazing day so far!
Good Morning!
I can't believe we're already the first day of school 2015. Of course I had to snap a picture of this great moment. Can you believe that Michael is already in the seventh grade. Now that he's back in school I'm thinking of ways that I can make this school year super productive. If you follow me on periscope I did a little video yesterday about how I'm working on just various ways of making our morning more productive. One of the routines that I'm trying to implement is making sure his room is cleaned prior to leaving for school.
I'm trying to explain to him that the more stuff that he has to do after school is leaving him with less free time to do the stuff that he loves. I've learned that kids need lots and lots and lots of structure.
AnyWho are you implementing any new ideas this school year?
