My Noondayversary: Reflecting Back and Looking Ahead

Eight on the Eighth: A Life Lately Recap

Okay, y’all…forgive my absence here. For the last two weeks, we’ve gone into sprint mode around here with visa applications, a quick lake getaway, the start of a new school year, and just general September craziness.

So, this is totally not creative because I stole it from another blogger, but I loved the idea of sharing ten happy things on the 10th of the month. So let’s do it! 🙂  ONE. You guys…these little questionnaires are seriously my favorite thing ever. I love seeing what sticks with kiddos when they are

Weekend Wrap-Up: Noonday Style Edition

Fair warning: There are entirely too many pictures of ME on this post. I seriously don’t think I’ve been in this many blog post pictures in, well, ever.  This is a little out of my comfort zone, but since I literally spent my entire weekend in Noonday, I thought it would be fun to give
