The back to school shopping is done, the pencils are sharpened, the name labels are attached, the bookbag is packed, and now for the back to school haircut or should I say shape up?
It is called "No Grease" barber shop. I stick out like a sore thumb, but they always remember our names! It is just like you would imagine... TV set on the sports channel, heavy laughter in the air, the sound of clippers buzzing, a pool table toward the back, and the candy machines that only take exact change. It is an experience to be had!


Check out the finished product! Cameron started first grade today, I don't know where the time has gone. I was one proud mama today! He was so excited and had a pride about him. I told him what I always tell him as we walked out the door... "remember who you are and who lives inside your heart."

As we get ready for sounding alarm clocks, filled book bags, dreaded homework, and packing lunch boxes I have to remember our summer days gone by. We did not go on a family beach trip or escape to the mountains. It didn't matter, we had such a fun summer staying right here. Home sweet home! The kids and I came up with our own top ten list for our summer fun.
It goes a little something like this...
1. Hanging out in our PJ's till noon.
2. Summer camps with new friends.
3. Staying in the pool till our fingers look like raisins.
4. Eating Ben and Jerry's with rainbow sprinkles of course!
5. Church staring at 10:00am rather than 8:45am
6. Evening thunder storms that we can snuggle to.
7. Slipping our toes into Crocs or flip flops.
8. Sidewalk chalk, bubbles, and games of Uno.
9. Going to the movies with Mommy's purse full of candy!
10. Yummy picnics and cookouts.
