I wanted to share another very simple recipe with you guys. This has been a go-to quick dinner for our family for years! It's so simple and yummy. You only need a few simple ingredients and it's ready in about 15 minutes. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ingredients:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://rstyle.me/+EGxM1c1fMOYg8UnbdGx54g" target="_blank">Manwich Sloppy Joe</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ground beef (or turkey)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ketchup</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hamburger buns</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sliced cheese</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Red onion *optional</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Instructions:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Add meat and chopped onion to large saucepan</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. Brown meat on medium-high heat over stove</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. Add Manwich sauce over cooked meat</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. Add ketchup (I use about 1/4 cup)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5. Cover and simmer 5-10 minutes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
6. Serve over hamburger buns and top with sliced cheese</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you'd like, you can toast the buns in the oven to get them warm and crispy. I put the buns directly on rack for a few minutes (@425).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I typically pair our Sloppy Joes with a vegetable or salad. This time I paired with roasted broccoli. I chop up the broccoli so it is a better bite-size for kids. Drizzle the broccoli in garlic olive oil and sprinkle with lemon pepper. Place in oven for 20 minutes @425. (**I get the veggies in oven before I start to cook the meat on stove top so it's timed close together.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I make an effort to have the family sit down together as often as possible each week to eat a family dinner together. I keep it simple. Super simple, haha. Usually we are eating with paper plates and the water bottles the kids have been using throughout the day. The point of this meal together isn't to be impressive or fancy. It's just to be together. The kids help set the table and we always use (easy to clean) placemats and have a candle. These are things I need for it to feel like a "family meal" that isn't rushed and feels purposeful.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When we sit down to dinner, we all talk about our day. We go around the table and talk about our "favorite" part of the day and our "least favorite" part of the day. This is SO simple, yet somehow it always sparks further conversation and I'm often surprised by everyones answer. It's great to know a bit more about every family members day. If this part of the conversation goes quickly, then we will also go around the table and say something we're grateful for from that day in particular. This conversation is easy and playful with the kids. And they <i>love</i> it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Studies show that families who eat together three times a week - minimum - are likely to have closer relationships, better grades and reduced stress. (See articles <a href="https://thefamilydinnerproject.org/about-us/benefits-of-family-dinners/" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="https://www.goodnet.org/articles/9-scientifically-proven-reasons-to-eat-dinner-as-family" target="_blank">here</a>. There are so many benefits to eating together as a family!) I want nothing more than to be purposeful with our time together as a family. This is one way I try to make our time together meaningful and special.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<b>RECIPE:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This recipe is so easy and loved by all. I cook the chicken breast in crockpot with chicken broth (HIGH for 4 hours or LOW for 8 hours). Use enough chicken broth that all the chicken in crockpot is covered. Once this is cooked, I take the chicken out of the broth and shred it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I cook veggie tots in oven for 18 minutes at 450. Once those are cooked, I top with the shredded chicken and shredded cheddar cheese. The amount of chicken and cheese is whatever you prefer! I put this back in the oven for about 5 minutes and then top with avocado ranch dressing. That's it. So easy!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Would love to know if you guys try these easy recipes. Tag me on the gram (@whatsup_buttarcup) or DM me. Hope you guys love this easy meal. :)</div>

Good morning! I got so much feedback asking about my *super* simple recipes. I will be saving them on my stories on the gram, but thought it may be easier if I posted them to blog for easier access for you guys? Let me know which is easiest for you.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have never been a big fan of cooking. I honestly wish I didn't feel that way, but it's just not my thing. I mean, I love to EAT! Haha. But if a recipe has more than about five ingredients (or too many ingredients that are foreign to me) <b>I'm out</b>! Ha. It just stresses me out and I can't tell you how many times I have planned family meals and then backed out (after a lot of time and money spent on groceries) because it's legit stressing me out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I have made it a priority to find <i>very</i> simple meals for my family that I can throw together in a hurry. My requirements are 1. easy and 2. kid-friendly. That's it! And the less time I have to spend "prepping" the meal, the better.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This cranberry meatball recipe is <i>so</i> easy and delicious! It's seriously a hit! I pair it with sweet potato fries or mashed potatoes. But last night I paired it with roasted veggies (I'm seriously just learning how to cook veggies - so embarrassing ha).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I just chopped up two potatoes with baby carrots - some olive oil with <a href="https://rstyle.me/+jJBTJPUjX60R6okIBiMKZQ" target="_blank">lemon pepper</a> and <a href="https://rstyle.me/+Co3meAsVgrck3fr0brbYjQ" target="_blank">garlic salt</a> and POOF - the kids ate up them veggies! #winning</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Getting back to reality after a wonderful week away in Cancun with friends has been rough! Blakely got sick the day after we got home. So it was lots of snuggles, laundry, unpacking, grocery shopping, etc. HALLELUJAH for grocery delivery.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Can I get an amen?!<br />

Anyway, I had several people reach out asking for links to suits I was wearing. So I thought I would link that quickly. I will leave descriptions under the pictures describing fit, etc. I hope this is helpful!<br />

This top was one of the online suits I order from <a href="https://www.dokifans.com/collections/bikini-set" target="_blank">Dokifans</a>. I loved the tops but most bottoms didn't fit quite right. Lots of the styles I ordered were "cheeky" which basically means your bum hangs out more than normal. Ha! I actually like this look, but knew I would want a bit more coverage with the kids around and tugging at me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am a big fan of mixing and matching suits, so I didn't mind the bottoms not fitting perfectly - the suits on this site sell together so if you order a large, both the bottom and top are large. And I find I often need a different size top and bottom. Another great thing about this site for suits is that the price is great! So I wasn't overly stressed buying suits because I knew I wasn't dropping more dough than necessary.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anywho, I paired the top from Dokifans with <a href="https://radswim.com/collections/frontpage/products/breanne-floral-peplum-swimsuit" target="_blank">floral bottoms</a> from Rad Swim. I love this bottom! And it's also reversible. I also got it with the peplum top a few years ago, but never loved the top. I LOVE the cut and style of the top. I do not like the bra pads that cannot be removed. I always feel the shape looked odd on me. (I always prefer to remove the bra pads.) But this suit is really great quality!</div>

This <a href="https://rstyle.me/+zhl0ISNhD-eE8CX1tgqn2w" target="_blank">straw sun visor</a> was worn almost 24-7. I felt like my brows (which were recently micorbladed - blog coming soon) were completely protected from the sun and I love that the back has velcro so you can make it at tight as you want. This may seem random, but I also really like to have my hair off of my neck when I'm hot and in the blazing sun. So I loved that this hat allowed me to put my hair completely up in a high pony and get it off of my face and neck. I seriously felt like me entire face was protected from the sun! It was great. I highly recommend this hat.</div>

Same <a href="https://rstyle.me/+zhl0ISNhD-eE8CX1tgqn2w" target="_blank">straw sun visor</a> here. Lived in this thing! It also got wet multiple times and held up perfectly! These <a href="https://rstyle.me/+niNFVUgikjEWxR2QeRpxmw" target="_blank">heart-shaped sunglasses</a> are a hit! I get so many compliments on these babies. Haha. I have red and black - they're so much fun! Blakely also has the <a href="https://rstyle.me/+0h2sjmaRln5Krnm5GlNelA" target="_blank">kids heart-shaped sunglasses</a>. So cute.</div>

This <a href="https://www.dokifans.com/collections/bikini-set/products/dokifans-flounce-design-light-pink-two-piece-swimsuit" target="_blank">pink bikini top</a> was from another set. I love the color and the ruffle straps! I paired this top with <a href="https://rstyle.me/+jsuv8JPp_ccq37UludVf6Q" target="_blank">high-waisted black rushed bottoms</a> from Amazon. I love these bottoms because they obviously can go with any top and they aren't the "cheeky" style. So more of my bum is covered!</div>

Here I am wearing a <a href="https://www.dokifans.com/collections/bikini-set/products/dokifans-high-waisted-black-two-piece-swimsuit" target="_blank">black top</a> from another set. I paired it with floral bottom from Rad Swim - linked above. This top is so fun! I saw someone at the pool wearing the white version and it was so cute. This black top came with black bottoms - but they were super cheeky so I opted for the floral bottoms for the beach day.</div>

We did this shoot a couple weeks ago at Suger Hill Studio. Suger Hill Studio has themed setups at this beautiful location. I've always wanted to do it! This is the Mothers Day theme here and I'm SO glad I did this shoot with Jenna. The shoot is obviously set up early so several photographers and people can use this location and set up (I realize Mothers Day is still a couple months away).<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love, love these gorgeous shots and can't wait to frame them to hang in our home. Other than our quick mini shoot with did for Christmas photos (<a href="https://whatsupbuttarcup.blogspot.com/2019/12/family-photos-home.html" target="_blank">see here</a>), I haven't had time to make my blog or photos, in general, a priority. Now that life is starting to settle down (with getting my job hours figured out and adjusting to our schedule with three kids in new schools, sports, etc) I am excited to have more time to get back into blogging. I have missed this creative outlet so much!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I will link Blakes dresses below (both from <a href="https://rstyle.me/+rLcinYiRoUNBwzQCcvwIOw" target="_blank">Amazon</a>). Setting aside time to get pics with kids is harder now that we have new (longer) school hours and I'm also working two to three days a week. It also takes a lot of energy to plan and do the shoots! Ha. But obviously having up to date pictures of my kids is my love language. ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sugar Hill Studio has this location all set up for shoots! So you literally just show up and it's all ready to go. Quick and easy - and so pretty! Huge thanks to Jenna for making the trip to this studio with us and capturing my babies so beautifully. When I saw these pictures my eyes filled up with tears because I can't believe how lucky I am to be their mommy. My heart is so full!</div>

The kids half birthdays are this month, so I thought it was perfect timing to finally sit down and write about their party from last July. Haha! I can't <i>believe</i> my babies are SIX and FOUR. Literally, how?!?! (Insert sobbing face)</div>

Life has been busy but my gosh it has been fun to go back through these pictures are relive that day. We had a blast celebrating the kids' joint birthday party in our backyard with a slip 'n slide this year. Er, I mean, last year.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I have worked with Mandy from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/OneFineParty?ref=ss_profile" target="_blank">One Fine Party</a> for almost all of my kids birthday parties (since I found her, I've never stopped using her!) and my gosh she is talented! So creative and lets me be as involved in picking out themes, shapes, colors, etc as I want to be. This year was extra fun because when Mandy would send me options, I would show the kids and let them pick out their favorites. They loved that! But don't let that overwhelm you. If you want to get online and order something personalized that you don't have to put any thought into, she's still your girl! Mandy's Etsy shop <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/OneFineParty?ref=ss_profile" target="_blank">One Fine Party</a> has a <i>ton</i> of themes already available to shop. (See 2018 kids joint birthday party created with Mandy <a href="https://whatsupbuttarcup.blogspot.com/2018/07/star-wars-ballerinas-ryder-turns-five.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>)</div>

I made a small balloon arch for the backdrop of these face frames. The kids LOVED these. Ryder's is especially fun since it looks like a shark is eating him. Haha. And that shark smile of his... I can't! :)</div>

These balloon arches are so simple to make. Search for them on Amazon. So many colors and sizes and options. I was so worried they were going to be a big pain in the booty, but they are honestly so simple. And festive!</div>

Ryder has been into sharks for quite some time now. We talk often about swimming with the sharks when he's older. He's got big plans to go deep in the ocean in one of those cages to see the sharks in real life! I may need a few years (like 13!) to build up the courage for that. Haha. And Blake is convinced we'll also see mermaids, so she's in! ;)</div>

I took pictures of cakes I liked into Target bakery this year. The pics I used as inspiration for Ryders cake were maybe a little bit advanced and didn't turn out *exactly* like I had planned. But he didn't seem to mind at all. ;) He loved it! I bought the sharks on top on Amazon and he got to keep those. That's always an added bonus!</div>

I get a lot of questions about the cakes we have made at parties... The past two years we have used Target bakery. I have been very impressed with everything single cake and cupcake we've had made (this shark one being the least impressive) so I will likely stick with them. They are also very reasonably priced. We have also used King Soopers before. If the cake idea isn't too elaborate, it should be fine! Just give them 5+ days notice to get it made.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We have used Gigi's Cupcakes for previous birthday parties. VERY impressive. But a lot pricier. It may have been way pricier because I was doing cakes that were WAY larger and more elaborate though.</div>

I had Mandy make smaller posters this year. I was trying to keep it simple. I did my best. Ha! I actually did get less things made and the set up was a lot quicker and easier for this party (in comparison to their party in <a href="https://whatsupbuttarcup.blogspot.com/2018/07/star-wars-ballerinas-ryder-turns-five.html" target="_blank">2018)</a></div>

Blakely's cake was also made at Target bakery. They did all the special frosting, but I took in the unicorn cake topper (ears, lashes and horn) which I purchased on Amazon. I also got smaller cakes this year. We are always left with tons and tons of leftover cake. This year we had just the right amount!</div>

Mandy made the unicorn banner on Blakes table. I purchased Ryders shark banner on Amazon. One of the things the kids were most excited about were the custom Gatorade labels from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/OneFineParty?ref=ss_profile" target="_blank">One Fine Party</a>!! Haha. I wouldn't have ever guessed. Almost everything on their individual tables are custom and personalized. But they reallllly liked those Gatorade labels. Haha. So easy!</div>

This slip 'n slide was a last minute Target purchase for the party. The kids kept asking about a bouncy castle (they had one at their <a href="https://whatsupbuttarcup.blogspot.com/2018/07/star-wars-ballerinas-ryder-turns-five.html" target="_blank">2018</a> joint birthday party) but I didn't want to spend the money on that again.

I haven't been adding specific links to items on blog or even on Instagram because I felt like the links were expiring and then you guys weren't able to find the items you wanted anyway. So I thought it would be easier to say where things were purchased and then you can search for yourself instead of clicking on links that lead you to nothing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If there is ever a specific link or item you are looking for, just email, text or DM me and I'll send you my links! :) Thanks so much for your support, xo</div>

I was desperate to get a family photoshoot in this holiday season. The fall and winter seemed to go by so quickly - I really hope Thanksgiving and Christmas aren't so close together next year! Sheesh. We had to reschedule this shoot several times. I even went through <i>four</i> different photographers trying to find a day and time that worked for our busy family - as well as a willing photographer! Ha.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We ended up doing this shoot very close to Christmas, we just couldn't squeeze it in! I usually have a big theme, idea or look in mind for our one big family photoshoot each year (it's hard convincing Tim and TJ to do more than that lol) but this year I was so behind. We had a rough year and the last four months or so of 2019 seemed to fly by so quickly. <i>Anywho</i>, I finally figured out a day and time that would work - it was a Sunday morning at 8:00am in our family room. Haha. I'll take it!</div>

We did a quick shoot at home in front of our Christmas <a href="https://rstyle.me/+PKHSbesbrUUFM-5_epbgqg" target="_blank">tree.</a> I used to dream of having a giant flocked tree like this. No ornaments. Just simple and clean. I love, love <a href="https://rstyle.me/+PKHSbesbrUUFM-5_epbgqg" target="_blank">this tree</a>. So I was happy to get some family pictures taken with our giant tree I had dreamed of. And shooting inside during the winter is much easier on everyone (this is why I like to be very prepared and even get our family pictures done in the late summer or fall).<br />

Huge thank you to Brittany for being so flexible with our crazy schedule! Brittany is the photographer who does the "milk and cookies" theme with kids. (See 2018 <a href="https://whatsupbuttarcup.blogspot.com/2018/12/milk-cookies.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> + 2019 <a href="https://whatsupbuttarcup.blogspot.com/2019/12/milk-cookies.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>.)</div>

There are a lot of pictures in this post. My bad. lol Also, so happy Lincoln was able to be in our family pictures this year. He starts physical therapy in 2020 for his torn ACL... for real! Prayers we can avoid surgery for our furry little man.</div>

What's Up Buttarcuphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06207545617981032642noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044172132161709410.post-58344948980805150142019-12-12T17:00:00.000-07:002020-02-05T19:42:52.483-07:00Milk + Cookies<div style="text-align: center;">
We did this mini shoot <a href="https://whatsupbuttarcup.blogspot.com/2018/12/milk-cookies.html" target="_blank">last year</a> with Brittany from <a href="https://www.brookeleighphotography.com/" target="_blank">Brooke Leigh Photography</a>. This "milk and cookies" theme is so darling! It's a quick and easy shoot and the pics are soooo dang cute! The kids really do get milk and cookies, so they aren't complaining. Haha!<br />
<br />
Last year I made one of these adorable photos into a puzzle and the kids loved it! So I made another puzzle this year with their picture from this shoot. The kids seriously love putting the puzzles together and it's been a fun family activity to do together. I cherish these holiday memories with my bitty babies. Who are growing up SO fast. (insert ugly cry)<br />
<br />
Brittany recommends kids wearing Christmas pjs for the shoot - we wore <a href="https://rstyle.me/+zBML1py67VeJ4vbvWSHQZA" target="_blank">Hanna Andersson</a> pjs again! (See Milk + Cookies pictures from 2018 <a href="https://whatsupbuttarcup.blogspot.com/2018/12/milk-cookies.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>) I hope Brittany does this same shoot again in 2020 - I'll do it every year with the kids for as long as they are willing!<br />

It's been a minute since posting anything to my blog. It definitely took a backseat when I started school back in October and ya know what, I've missed it! I miss writing and having my little outlet and connecting with people. But I am SO excited to be working and doing what I love!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You may remember I went back to school last October to get my Esthetician and Lash Extension licenses. Now I am working in DTC as the lash specialist at a beautiful med spa and I love it! But I can't say it's been completely smooth. I have had a <i>hard</i> time leaving the kids. I thought I would eventually get used to it, and definitely thought I would feel better about leaving them once I was out of school and working. But, NOPE. Us mamas have it rough. SO tough to find a balance that works for us, our kids and our entire family dynamic. So I'm still figuring all of that out and trying to organize my schedule so I can be with the kids as much as possible.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On top of completing school, going through state boards and adjusting to my new job, we decided to finish the basement! It was a slightly spontaneous decision. We always knew we'd finish it eventually but decided to go for it! We use that space every single day and thought it would be fun to finish it and enjoy it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
July is always insanely busy for us but this July was just CRAZY insane. We went from celebrating the 4th of July to jumping on a plane with all three kids to IL for a family reunion on Tims side. Looots of driving and traveling! Then back home to celebrate Ryder's birthday. I always try to make their actual birthday special, so we decided to spend the day at Lava Island with some friends and go out for lunch together. I think he had a blast! Then Tim and I went BACK to IL for a family wedding. Then back home to continue with basement shenanigans and a big birthday party for the kids (we did a joint party for Ryder and Blakely) and then about a week later was Blakes actual birthday... PHEW. It was a lot, haha. Blake decided she wanted to go to the zoo to feed the giraffes on her birthday. So the night before her birthday I drove to the Springs with the kids and we had a little pizza party and sleepover at my dads house. The zoo was so much fun! Blakely was too scared to feed the giraffes haha but she did pet one! My big girl! :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
GAHH, I'm tired just from writing that all out. LOL So July was insane. And then if you follow me on Instagram you might have seen on my stories that I recently discovered I have IBS and so that has completely changed my life (hopefully for the better eventually because I can better take care of my body and not be in pain anymore, fingers crossed.) It's all been very overwhelming and I'm exhausted!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But we are so excited for the basement to be completed (this week!) and look forward to getting all the kids used to their new school schedules. That's another thing I have been struggling with. Ryder being at school all day is just such a huge change for us. I can't believe how hard it has been on me! I just miss him so, so much. And Blake starts Pre K next week and although I know she's ready for it and excited about it, I am so sad to send my bitty baby off to school. (Insert sobbing face.) My mama heart is strugglin, guys! LOL</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, that's what we've been up to lately! We are trying to plan a couple trips with the kids (so strange to have to plan trips around specific school schedules now!) so Tim and I are really looking forward to some special time with the kids and traveling. I'm hoping the rest of 2019 is a tad slower and a little bit more of a chill experience. Ha. I feel like I've been running around like a chicken with its head cut off for months and months!! 2019 has been a full-blown whirlwind of emotions and new experiences. Just gotta keep on truckin'. And I truly thank God for all he has blessed our family with. So much to be thankful for.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Much love to you all. So glad to have you here! :)<br />

HOORAY!!! It's July which means lots of birthday celebrations for us! :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
July is always jam-packed for us with lots of cake! Haha.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I want to keep this kids birthday parties a bit simpler and smaller this year. I hope that day is nothing but FUN for the kids, so I decided to get some photos out of the way ahead of time so I don't feel the pressure the take the time away from family and friends who are here for their joint birthday party to make sure we get a great shot of the kids in their birthday getup!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I bought these balloon arches on Amazon and OMG, they're cute!!! The kids loved them and it was loads of fun setting these up! Jenna came over and we spent time setting up the balloons while having a pizza party for the kids. And then when we were set up, we'd break for pics. And then we'd set up the next balloon arch! Really fun and no pressure because we aren't on a time crunch before a big birthday party with cake, food, etc, etc.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Blakely's unicorn dress (which is seriously SO cute) is from Amazon and came with the headband. I was searching for something similar on Etsy and couldn't pull the trigger because of the prices. Yikes! So I thought I may as well look on Amazon and what do ya know?! Almost an identical dress for a fraction of the cost! She loves this thing. It might never come off. Ha!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ryder's shark shirt is from Amazon as well. I let him see a few and this is the one he wanted for his birthday pics. :) His big shark stuffed animal is from Ikea. We have several stuffed animals from Ikea and I must say that they hold up well!</div>

I got the kids special cookies from Eileens. If you haven't had Eileens cookies, you are truly missing out in life! These things are the best (and maybe worst) thing to happen to me. HAHA. So, so delish. Blake got little unicorn cookies and Ryder got shark cookies. They really are so dang cute.</div>

Girls trip? Yes, please! My friend went to the Ellen Degeneres show and won a couple tickets to the Christina Aguilera concert in Vegas. I wasn't jealous. Nope. Not at all. ;)<br />
<br />
Anyway, after talking about it with some friends, we decided to make it a big trip together and enjoy a couple days away. HOLLA We had so much fun the entire weekend, but the big outing was to see Christina Aguilera. She is so freaking amazing. I can't even deal!! You can shop weekend looks below.<br />
<br />
Can't wait to plan the next girls trip! xo<br />

After our trip to <a href="http://whatsupbuttarcup.blogspot.com/2019/04/cancun-mexico-anniversary.html" target="_blank">Mexico</a> to celebrate our anniversary, Tim and I decided we couldn't wait to take the kids. Also, Tim was getting surgery on his pec so we knew he would be out of work for a few weeks and thought it was good timing to get away. This trip was somewhat spontaneous and it was SO much fun planning this and surprising the kids with this trip.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once again, I tricked Tooth into getting pictures taken on the beach (see our trip in in April <a href="http://whatsupbuttarcup.blogspot.com/2019/04/cancun-mexico-anniversary.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>). Ya know, since it was the kids first time to Mexico (and out of the country) we had to document it. :)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love, love these photos and can't believe how big my babies are getting! This trip was 11 days - so we really got to settle in and relax. Ryder is so motivated to learn how to swim! And Blake was SUPER excited to get some braids in her hair (a childhood dream of mine haha).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, so grateful for trips together. I do not take these adventures for granted. I love this little family of mine.</div>

Tooth and I planned to take a beach vacation for our 7th anniversary in fall of 2017. But our house was on the market and life got too busy. So we decided to cancel the trip. Then we ended up moving and time got away from us! It wasn't until just now that we were able to get away. And let me say, it was much needed. So instead of celebrating our 7th wedding anniversary, we are now celebrating ten years together! I can't believe we've known each other/been dating for ten years. How did that happen?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Somehow I tricked Tooth into taking pictures with me on the beach. Haha. And I'm so glad I did. I love these pictures of us and realize that we don't often get pics together. Our shoot are so family focused (and a lot of them very focused on the kids because I love capturing each stage as they grow) so it was a nice change of pace to take pictures just the two of us.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Already looking forward to our next beach vacation just us two. 2020? Fingers crossed!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Happy ten years, babe. I can't believe in a few months we'll be celebrating eight years of marriage! Love you.</div>

VACATION MODE!<br />
The kids had been counting down the days for this ski trip! Ryder and Blake had been "packing" and getting their toys and things ready for this trip for weeks. HAHA. They're so cute. Ryder spent a lot of time drawing and coloring a map for us so we would know how to get to the mountains and ski. (Insert the biggest heart eyes on planet Earth.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I decided I was going to brave the mountains by myself with R&B (Tooth had to stay home). And then I basically forced my best gal pal to join in on the fun! LOL She was legit forced. Haha. Love you, Heather.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But seriously, Heather and her two oldest kiddies (same ages and Ryder and Blake) were so, so kind to join us! We had so much fun and I think it made the trip that much more exciting for the kids! Our kids are besties and this was some much needed fresh air and time together. Thank you Jesus for this amazing friend you've brought into my life. And thank you for our children growing up together (we live two houses away from each other). What a blessing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first second we got there, the kids were begging to get into the pool. Haha. So to the pool we went!</div>

I don't know about you guys, but I'm NOT a big fan of swimming when it's winter. Eww. So cold and unnecessary lol. I'm also not a big fan of hot tubs. Just eww. And WHY is it sooooo fun for people to walk through snow to jump into a blazing hot mini pool?? I don't get it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
We spent the night hanging at the hotel and ordering in pizza. The best memories!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The next morning we took the kids to ski school! It was the first time skiing for Ryder and Blake and they were soooo excited! I had shown them a YouTube video of a two-year-old skiing. This kid was like a PRO. Haha. My kids kept saying "why isn't he falling? He's going so fast! Wow, he's good!" Bahahaha. So funny. Anywho, they were super excited about the idea of skiing and looking forward to the entire experience.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are the kids waiting patiently outside the ski school. #cuties</div>

Heather and I went skiing while the kids were in school. Neither of us had been skiing in at least six years! We've been busy having babies and taking care of tiny little kids. It was so fun to hit the slopes. We were so lucky with the most beautiful weather. Heather was so patient with me - hahhahaha - because I ski slower than any other human alive. HA! But in my mind I'm going soooooo fast! ;)</div>

I've always been a fan of Valentine's Day! So nice to have a fun little holiday to look forward to after the Christmas hangover + cold January days. I love the bright, happy colors and of course the candy! The kids love when they wake up to new decorations on their table. Which is maybe the cutest thing ever, seeing their reactions and excitement. :)</div>

I have a vivid memory of a special Valentine's Day when I was little. I'm not sure how old I was, but my dad woke me up before he had to leave for work. This never happened (he had to leave very early in the morning, so I rarely saw him before I left for school) and I thought I was in trouble. Ha! But he took me downstairs to the kitchen where he had a gift set out for me. I remember being SO surprised and excited. He gave me a cute little pink bag to hold nail polish in. And of course, there were about eight colors of new nail polish for me, too! I felt so grown up and loved. One of my favorite gifts ever. I wish I still had that nail polish kit/bag!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I kept their table simple this year, but I may have a couple little surprises for them on Valentine's Day morning. ;) I never realized how much fun holidays would be with little kids. We did Ryder's Valentine cards for his class last night and it was the cutest thing ever watching him write all his classmates names down. HEART EXPLOSIONS!!</div>

This winter we did a little "milk and cookies" photo shoot with Brittany from <a href="https://www.brookeleighphotography.com/" target="_blank">Brooke Leigh Photography</a>. Brittany is so sweet and was wonderful with the kids. It can be hard directing kids - especially in the cold! She has this mini shoot set up so you just show up and take pictures quick! It was so cute and easy. She has the milk and cookies and recommended shooting in <a href="https://rstyle.me/+zBML1py67VeJ4vbvWSHQZA" target="_blank">pjs</a>. I'm so glad we did this shoot (it was pretty cold out and the kids were troopers!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made one of these photos into a puzzle for the kids! I thought they would think it was fun to remember these little moments while doing the puzzle together each year (I will pack it away with all the Christmas decor and only have it out during the holiday). The puzzle has been a hit!</div>

I got to sneak away for a couple hours today kid free and stopped by <a href="https://rstyle.me/n/db4jkjb6jg7" target="_blank">Bed Bath & Beyond </a>to grab a few holiday things for the home and kitchen. I'm like a kid in a candy store in there, haha. I get so excited about random things and always find items I've been looking for or those "ah-ha" items. You know, the things you didn't know you needed... but you need! ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I always leave with some new kitchen gadgets. Check out my Insta stories to see some of the items I was loving! (@whatsup_buttarcup) And guys, I found the cutest sweater for Lincoln! Haha! It's so cute and perfect for cold days. We're running a 5k Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving day and I think I'm gonna bring him along in his new sweater. :) So cute.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some of my favorite bedding and family room items are from <a href="https://rstyle.me/n/db4jkjb6jg7" target="_blank">Bed Bath & Beyond</a>! I am obsessed with cozy blankets and had the hardest time deciding which one I wanted (because there were sooo many good ones) but decided to go with this knit Ugg blanket. I've been dreaming of a blanket like this for the family room! So excited to have this cozy thing to snuggle up with while watching holiday movies with the family.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also found some great Christmas toys for the kids. And stocking stuffers, too! Ryder has been asking me lately if we can make a gingerbread house and they have the cutest selection. I'm so excited to surprise him with it this weekend!<br />
<br />
Here are a few of the items I got to prep our home for the holidays!<br />

I can't believe it's Thanksgiving week! This year has flown by and the holidays are quickly approaching! In our family, we always get individual gifts for each other. The kids get to go on individual dates with mom or dad and pick out a gift for each family member. The little ones have a hard time keeping their gifts a secret though! ;)<br />
<br />
We always get Lincoln some fun little gifts and treats, too! This year I thought it would be fun for the kids to pick out some toys for our favorite furry friend together. They loved this! We went to <a href="https://www.dollargeneral.com/pet.html?_ga=2.39730219.967929574.1542645836-1788018880.1541004912" target="_blank">Dollar General</a> to pick a few things out for Link.</div>

We stocked up on some treats and new toys, it was so much fun! <a href="https://www.dollargeneral.com/" target="_blank">Dollar General</a> is a great place to shop for your pets (whether they're new to the family or shopping for ongoing pet needs). We had such a great time picking out things for Lincoln together. He is the best puppy dog EVERRRRR. I was genuinely worried I wouldn't love my kids as much as I loved him before the birth of Ryder. Haha!<br />
<br />
Of course, the kids ended up finding the toy aisle and picking out a few things there, too. :) Safe to say it was a great family trip and we love spoiling our doggy with new toys. I loved seeing what the kids thought Lincoln would like (and of course, I loved the prices, too)!<br />
<br />
Here are some of my favorite items!<br />

The love these kids have for their pup is adorable. Lincoln looks kinda freaked here (that dang camera flash gets him spooked every time - ha) but he loves them kids! He is very protective and is always near us.</div>

This black bowl (in pic above) is made of waterproof fabric and perfect for an on-the-go bowl for pets! I can fold this up and put it in my diaper bag or stroller when we take Lincoln out for walks. We also got this cute dog bone dog waste carrier (aka poop bag) from <a href="https://www.dollargeneral.com/pet.html?_ga=2.39730219.967929574.1542645836-1788018880.1541004912" target="_blank">Dollar General</a>. It can easily hook on his leash so we never forget it!</div>

Mario Brothers!)<div style="text-align: center;">
So my big theme this year for the family costumes was Mario. I even bought a very special Princess Peach dress for Blakely. But then last minute I found this Little Red Riding Hood costume at TJ Maxx and of course, the kids loved these costumes/theme! :) I'm so glad I went ahead and bought the costumes for them because they are sooo cute.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We still took some pics in the Mario themed costumes (I'll add some pics of those costumes in this blog post, too) but the kids had way more fun with the other theme. Plus, Blakely was soooooo freaked out by Ryder and daddy wearing those huge fake mustaches. Bahahaha.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I'm so glad the kids see the fun and joy in Halloween. I always loved Halloween! My kids are really into dressing up in costumes right now, so it's tons of fun! Ryder also has an astronaut costume and a new dragon costume. (Both kids were dragons for Halloween last year - you can see those pics <a href="https://whatsupbuttarcup.blogspot.com/2017/10/halloween-2017-game-of-thrones-mother.html" target="_blank">here</a>.) And Blake got a Snow White costume and a mermaid costume. Ha! I can't say no. #oops<br />
<br />
I love these fun memories with the kiddies!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ok, lots of pics! :) All costumes linked at the bottom of blog (including Mario).</div>

Last week we had a little family sleepover in the family room in our <a href="https://sprinkledot.com/" target="_blank">Sprinkle + Dot</a> tents. You guys, the kids were sooooo excited about this and kept saying how cool it all was! :) It was the cutest thing seeing them so pumped about it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sprinkle + Dot is the cutest company ever! They have multiple themes (I can't wait to do the Star Wars theme for Ryder in the future and the Blush + Blooms theme for Blake) and they are all really cute. Like, the cutest ever.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is a great idea for a birthday party or anything else you might be celebrating with your kids. You choose your theme and they come and set everything up for you! So easy and so much fun. They also brought cupcakes (to match!) and the kids gobbled those up so fast. Haha. We had a little party with our family and stayed up late watching movies, drinking cider, eating popcorn and snuggling in the tents by the fire. Seriously, it made my mommy heart so happy!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Go check out their site. I hope you do this fun activity with your kids. It was the highlight of their life haha! My kids keep asking when the tents are coming back. :) The kids also had so much fun with these lanterns and the cute string lights on the tents. It really was so great. All the heart eyes!</div>

This is my <a href="https://rstyle.me/n/c8sdvvb6jg7" target="_blank">favorite cardigan</a> for fall and winter! I bought it in <a href="https://rstyle.me/n/c8sdvvb6jg7" target="_blank">two colors</a> and know I will rewear these over and over again. I am linking lots of cardigans I am digging below. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This denim is a current favorite. Very comfortable and I love the wash. But if you've been following my stories on Insta, than you know I am also loooooving on these jeggings. Must. Have. My basic <a href="https://rstyle.me/n/c6yg3ab6jg7" target="_blank">white tee</a> is a must. So easy to layer. And <a href="https://rstyle.me/n/c6ygiub6jg7" target="_blank">these sandals</a> give me all the heart eyes!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had been saving up for this LV for a while. It was on my list and when I was finally ready to make the purchase, they were sold out!! The lady at LV told me I might as well move on, because they cannot keep them stocked and they're so hard to get your hands on. LV makes the same bag in a pretty pink, but I just really had my mind set on this classic print. Long story short, I ended up buying a <a href="https://rstyle.me/~aCUle" target="_blank">different bag</a> (another one that had been on my list of dream bags) and <a href="https://rstyle.me/~aCUle" target="_blank">love</a> that one as well. But somehow I ended up stumbling across this <a href="https://rstyle.me/n/c9ibvab6jg7" target="_blank">fake LV</a> online and the reviews were great! I figured I would get it and see if I liked it. You guys, <a href="https://rstyle.me/n/c9ibvab6jg7" target="_blank">this</a> fake is <i>so good</i>!!!! I have also purchased a fake <a href="https://rstyle.me/n/czxzncb6jg7" target="_blank">Goyard</a> (acutally two, oops) online and was very happy with that <a href="https://rstyle.me/n/czxzncb6jg7" target="_blank">purchase</a> as well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, since then I've been finding lots of good fakes online and they are at a much better price point. Duh. (See fake <a href="https://rstyle.me/n/c852tfb6jg7" target="_blank">Gucci here</a>.) I have a major handbag problem and don't see this love affair ending anytime soon. ;) So throwing in a fake every now and then is a great idea in my opinion! I have several real LV's and I wouldn't have ever known <a href="https://rstyle.me/n/c8xd7fb6jg7" target="_blank">this bag</a> wasn't real. It's a steal, guys! RUN!!!!! (Another great fake <a href="https://rstyle.me/n/c852pyb6jg7" target="_blank">LV here</a>.)</div>

So it's been a minute since I've blogged! For the most part, I took the summer off so I could hang with the kids and get some home renovation done. Our home is starting to come together and I'm excited to take a break from home renovation... it's exhausting!!</div>

This green sweater is the prettiest color! And dang it, this exact color is currently sold out (insert crying face) but I also bought the cream color, which is still available, and it's so pretty. I will also link other green sweater options below! You can't see it, because it's tucked under my sweater, but my new everyday stackable necklace is <a href="https://rstyle.me/n/c8sekmb6jg7" target="_blank">this initial</a> necklace. I got the kids initials and I love how dainty it is. I like to stack it with<a href="https://rstyle.me/n/c8semgb6jg7" target="_blank"> this</a> and <a href="https://rstyle.me/n/cwtdimb6jg7" target="_blank">this.</a></div>

This denim is so comfy and I love the wash. And have I raved about these leopard flats enough yet? :) They're so pretty. And I'm alllll about very easy and comfortable ways to dress up an outfit. This Gucci bag also makes all my outfits feel dressier and more put together. I am sooo in love with this bag. The chain is so pretty and I love that I can wear it two ways (because the strap moves). It's definitely a splurge, but so worth it! I saved up for this beauty and loooove it. The prettiest color.</div>

We had so much fun throwing the first joint birthday party for the kids in our new backyard. I can see us having lots of parties back here with our friends and family. :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This year Ryder chose a Star Wars theme. His table is so cool! I love it so much. This kid loves to celebrate and is always so happy. (Insert ugly mom cry) Blake really wanted a ballerina party and that was such a blast to create. I'll soak in alllll the girly things!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There are a lot of photos posted in this blog, but there are so many wonderful and adorable details from their individual tables! I worked with Mandy from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/OneFineParty?ref=ss_profile" target="_blank">One Fine Party</a> once again to create the coolest custom birthday party themes for the kiddies. Mandy also has loads of other fun ideas on her Etsy site. Her ideas make your party planning so easy and cute! I highly recommend working with her. She is lovely and I've always been so, so impressed with her work. She's a gem!</div>

I am so excited to tell you guys all about <a href="https://www.incredibundles.com/home.php" target="_blank">IncrediBundles</a>! This is a game changer for moms. And a great gift idea for a baby shower! I so wish I had known about this sooner in the crazy months of managing a newborn and toddler. Moms need all the help they can get! And have I mentioned how much I love the "easy button" in life? Haha. There needs to be an easy button for everything, but especially for moms because we are juggling one million things at a time!</div>

IncrediBundles is a wonderful "easy button" for moms -- it's so user-friendly. It is a diaper and wipe subscription. This is so much more than diapers just being delivered to your front door. The subscription box is delivered in the cutest packaging along with the softest bear (that Blakely is in love wtih). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Hey guys! The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale started yesterday and, well -- oops!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
You can read my <a href="https://whatsupbuttarcup.blogspot.com/2017/07/nordstrom-anniversary-sale-guide.html" target="_blank">blog post</a> from last year to see how to get a Nordstrom card and WHY the sale is such a great time to stock up on new items for the fall and winter (the sale is only open to card holders now - opens to public on <a href="https://shop.nordstrom.com/content/anniversary-early-access?cm_sp=merch-_-corp_4369_j009192-_-hp_corp_p00_details" target="_blank">July 20th</a>).<br />

Here are my favorites in the sale this year! It's soo good this year. I can't wait to get my goodies in the mail! :) ALL of these are items I can mix and match and wear on a daily basis. I tried to stick with things I will get a lot of use out of -- instead of shopping the cute dresses and blouses (because I don't wear these items often enough!)<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope this helps you find some favorites! Snag them before they sell out - items go quick. :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy shopping!</div>
