Pumpkin Spice addict? This round up has pumpkin spice everything Etsy finds has something for every PSL fan!

Pumpkin Spice Everything Etsy Finds for the Pumpkin Spice Addict

August 25, 2020 in etsy, fashion
“Don’t you love New York in the Fall? It makes me wanna buy school supplies. I would send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address.” This quote comes from my all-time favorite movie, You’ve Got Mail, a staple in our house year-round, but especially in the Fall. The crisp air, the pumpkin spice everything, smell of newly sharpened pencils- it’s hard to beat. As the Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte makes its annual debut today, I thought it would be fun to share some pumpkin spice EVERYTHING Etsy finds for the pumpkin spice addict, mainly because I am one. It’s still hot in Texas, unfortunately. I have this whole routine though every single year whenever that first crisp Fall day comes. I roll my windows down in my car, drive to my nearest Starbucks, and order a PSL that I savor all morning long. It’s quite heavenly, I’ll admit, to just take that drive by myself with the cool air blowing in my face. No kids, no music, just pure relaxation.  !function(d,s,id){ var e, p = /^http:/.test(d.location) ? 'http' : 'https'; if(!d.getElementById(id)) { e = d.createElement(s); e.id = id; e.src = p + '://widgets.rewardstyle.com/js/shopthepost.js'; d.body.appendChild(e); } if(typeof window.__stp === 'object') if(d.readyState === 'complete') { window.__stp.init(); } }(document, 'script', 'shopthepost-script'); Turn on your JavaScript to view content The other day you may have even caught me on Instagram sporting a Sanderson Sisters shirt and an iced coffee with pumpkin pie spice because I was trying to “will” it to become Fall. Yep, I’m over this heat. Not only that, but it seems like so many of us are just ready for 2020 to be over. It’s been a rough year for all of us that fast-forwarding to the holidays just gives so many of us something to look forward to. I thought it would be fun to spread the pumpkin spice love and figured I must not be alone in wanting Fall to be here now, so I hope this roundup of finds from Etsy make you smile as much as they make me smile! !function(d,s,id){ var e, p = /^http:/.test(d.location) ? 'http' : 'https'; if(!d.getElementById(id)) { e = d.createElement(s); e.id = id; e.src = p + '://widgets.rewardstyle.com/js/shopthepost.js'; d.body.appendChild(e); } if(typeof window.__stp === 'object') if(d.readyState === 'complete') { window.__stp.init(); } }(document, 'script', 'shopthepost-script'); Turn on your JavaScript to view content 1| Pumpkin Spice & Jesus Christ Tee– As a Southerner living in the Bible belt, I couldn’t help but make this the first item on my pumpkin everything Etsy finds. Throw on this cute tee, a sweater, some cute booties, and you’re ready to get your PSL on!2| PSL Enamel Pin– I love putting little enamel pins on denim jackets, Addie’s backpack, and even on my purse. This PSL enamel pin was too cute to resist, with the whipped cream and pumpkin on it!3| Basic Witch Starbucks Cup– It’s too hot in Texas for hot drinks, but I love this Basic With cup for iced PSLs (or whatever else.) It’s got the signature Starbucks logo with a Fall twist!4| Talk Pumpkin Spice To Me Mug– I love the insulated mugs that keep my coffee hot because I take forever to drink it when I’m chasing Lawson around in the mornings. This Talk Pumpkin Spice mug is super cute and keeps coffee hot for a long time. Bless.5| Pumpkin Spice Rainbow Font Tee– I absolutely love the combo of the rainbow font and blue from this shirt. It’s bright, festive, and fun, and will look so cute with a wide brimmed hat, jeans, and tall boots. !function(d,s,id){ var e, p = /^http:/.test(d.location) ?

Whether you put it on your car, laptop, hydroflask, or anywhere else- it is too cute! If you run on PSLs you definitely need this PSL sticker. 7| Rae Dunn Inspired Pumpkin Spice Mug– I love me a good Rae Dunn piece. My sister gave me a Rae Dunn mug last year for my birthday and I have loved it ever since. I miss the days where I’d go to Marshalls or Home Goods and see what Rae Dunn pieces I could find, but I love this Rae Dunn inspired Pumpkin Spice mug. It definitely fills the void! You can get the mug with black or orange lettering, and you can get a mug with a black or orange inside! So. Cute.8| Pumpkin Pumpkin Pumpkin Spice Tee– I’m a sucker for a good font. The fonts in this Pumpkin Pumpkin Pumpkin Spice shirt just drew me to it! This tee, a PSL in hand, and Hamilton playing in the car? Definitely couldn’t get better than that!9| Mommy’s Pumpkin Spice Latte Date Onesie– I don’t have kids in onesies anymore, but this PSL date onesie was too cute to not include in this Etsy roundup. If you take your little one around as you do errands, this one is not to be missed. 10| Tis the Season to be Basic Tee– Some people use the word “basic” like it’s a bad thing. Embrace it! Tis the Season to be Basic and LOVE it! I love this cream colored tee and orange with black lettering. So festive and perfect for embracing a love of the PSL. !function(d,s,id){ var e, p = /^http:/.test(d.location) ?

Looking for gear to head back to school? This roundup of Frozen 2 back to school fashion is perfect for the kid heading to school, homeschooling, or doing virtual learning!

Frozen 2 Back to School Fashion with Walmart

August 14, 2020 in Disney, fashion, kids, walmart
This post on Frozen 2 Back to School Fashion with Walmart is sponsored through a collaboration with Walmart x Rewardstyle. All opinions are my own. The day Addie was born was the first day of school. I was a first grade teacher at the time, but was put on bed rest a few weeks prior thanks to high blood pressure. Fast forward six years, and Miss Addie is about to enter 1st grade (I can’t even believe it!) We’ve watched Frozen 2 pretty much every day this Summer between Addie and Lawson asking for it, and I won’t lie, I secretly enjoy it as much as they do. !function(d,s,id){ var e, p = /^http:/.test(d.location) ?

My parents always were on a budget, but my mom made sure we had cute clothes for great deals. My mom must’ve rubbed off on me because I find myself doing the same thing for the kids.

It made me so happy that not only was the Frozen 2 stuff so cute, but it was within my budget. Double win! !function(d,s,id){ var e, p = /^http:/.test(d.location) ?

Looking to get the ultimate freshwater aquarium tips for kids and families? Look no further for your starter aquarium!

Ultimate Freshwater Aquarium Tips for Kids and their Families

August 12, 2020 in kids
This post on Ultimate Freshwater Aquarium Tips for Kids and Their Families is sponsored by BabbleBoxx.com on behalf of Mars Fish Care and the API brand If you don’t know much about our family- we enjoy crazy. A fun special needs kiddo, a silly toddler, 2 dogs, and 5 chickens- we couldn’t help but add to the fun this summer. We’ve all kept pretty close to our home because of Addie and how fragile her lungs are. Although we’ve done our fair share of playing in the backyard, making arts and crafts, and even trying new recipes, we felt as though the kids could use something they could enjoy daily and learn from. What better than setting up the ultimate freshwater aquarium?I heard about Mars Fish Care and had the opportunity to attend a Live Virtual Event they were hosting so kids and their families could set up and easily take care of their very own freshwater aquarium. I told Mathew about it and he was all for it. Addie was about to have open heart surgery, and we thought a freshwater aquarium was the perfect thing to soothe her post-op and beyond. I learned a ton on the Live Virtual Event from Mars Fish Care about setting my tank up with API Fish Care products. I may have been a little overly excited (you may have seen the results from that on Instagram haha), but I know you’ll be able to gain lots of good fish knowledge from what I did. So how do you have the ultimate freshwater aquarium for kids? Well, it’s easier than you think! 1| Grab Your Fish Tank- We’ve had a small tank for a beta fish in the past, but wanted to get something larger so the kids could really enjoy it. I also didn’t want to be overwhelmed with the size and management of a huge tank, so we decided a 10 gallon tank was the perfect starter tank. The tank we got not only came with the tank, but also had a light, filter, and water heater. All of those things are essential to a tropical freshwater aquarium. 2| Get Some Decorations- Depending on the type of fish you get, you’ll need to get decorations. Some fish love lots of plants, and others don’t. We decided to get rocks for the bottom of our tank, some fun large plastic jewels, a large rock with holes for our fish to hide, and a couple of plants. It’s important to get a tank that can accomodate the amount of decorations you get as well as the size of your fish as they’re mature. We opted for the less is more, while having spots for our fish to get cozy when they need. 3| Get Your Water Ready- Water is the biggest deal for your new freshwater aquarium. I always wondered if we needed to buy special water for our fish, but learned through the Mars Fish Care Virtual Event that all I needed was tap water, and a few API products. Tap water naturally has chlorine, so I filled up my fish tank with tap water and added API Stress Coat. API Stress Coat is a water conditioner that makes tap water safe for fish by removing chlorine, chloramines, and heavy metals. It has aloe vera as well, and reduces fish stress by up to 40%. We were told to use it when getting the water ready for our tank as well as when netting, adding fish from the store, and changing out water. Another product we used to get our water ready was API Quick Start. API Quick Start nitrifying bacteria allows you to instantly add fish by starting the natural aquarium cycle with beneficial bacteria. We were told to use it when starting our aquarium, after water and filter changes, and when adding new fish to an existing aquarium.Lastly, to get your water set up, you’ll need API Aquarium Salt. The API Aquarium Salt promotes fish health by improving gill function, as well as providing electrolytes so your fish are beautiful and have vitality. Every time you change the water out, you’ll want to replenish the salt. When you’re all done, don’t forget to turn your water heater on to 76-78 degrees so your fish are nice and happy. 4| Choose and Acclimate Your Fish- Find someone knowledgeable about fish wherever you choose to purchase them so you can discuss which fish are best for your tank. Some people like to choose Tetras, Corys, Gorami, Molly, Platy, or Guppies. Ask which fish are best in schools, and what size they will be when fully grown. The person helping may ask you what size tank you have, and that will help them with their advice. I made sure to grab API Tropical Flake Food and a fish net. You definitely won’t want to skip those!Once your fish come home you’ll want to acclimate them. I didn’t do this and it was a big mistake. Take your bag with your fish and let it float in the tank for 15-20 minutes. This will help your fish acclimate to the temperature of the water. After your 15-20 minutes have passed, pour some of the water and the fish into an acclimation container. Add a few drops of API Stress Coat, then add a cup of tank water into the container. Let your fish acclimate for about 10 minutes and then add another cup of water. After 10 more minutes have gone by, net your fish, and put it into the aquarium. You will not pour the water from the acclimation container into the tank. 5| Cleaning Materials For Your Tank- It’s really important to maintain a clean tank for the health of your fish. I cleaned our tank for the very first time this week and found it absolutely painless and incredibly fast. Fish are really sensitive to their environment, so you will want to do 25% water changes every 2 weeks. I grabbed a 5 gallon bucket and fish tank gravel vacuum to make the job easy. Remove water from the bottom of your tank, making sure to get any bits of food or debris. On standby, I had another bucket with treated water ready to go to replace in my tank. I had a few other things ready on the side for my tank for cleaning: API Stress Zyme, API Accu Clear, and the API 5-in-1 Test Strips. You’ll want to use them as needed, based on the condition of your tank.API Stress Zyme is a bacterial cleaner that has over 300 million live bacteria per teaspoonful. It helps keep gravel clean and reduces maintenance. We plan on adding it weekly to keep our tank clean, while it assures an active biological filter, a cleaner aquarium, healthier fish, and good water quality. API Accu Clear is a water clarifier. If your aquarium has haze, you’ll want to use this. It clumps tiny particles together so your filter can remove them more easily. This one we plan on using as needed, and thankfully, we didn’t need it this time. I am glad we have it just in case!API 5-in-1 Test Strips test pH, KH, GH, nitrates, and nitrites in your aquarium water. I have already used these several times (out of paranoia haha) to make sure my water is how it needs to be. It comes with a color card so you can compare the strip and safely care for your fish. It even comes with a paper that tells you how to correct any unsafe water conditions you may have. For being a complete amateur to having an ultimate freshwater aquarium, I found them super easy to use and interpret.  The Mars Fish Care Live Virtual Event was so incredibly helpful, and I couldn’t help but pass their tips (and a couple of mine) to you all. If you’re homeschooling this year, this is an awesome way to learn about the life cycle, learn math through water changes and measuring, and more. If your kids are going back to school, having a freshwater aquarium is a wonderful way to give them something to learn responsibility, find relaxation in at the end of a long school day, and more. Whatever route you decide for your kids, you will absolutely have the ultimate freshwater aquarium for your kids to enjoy for a long time.

After 6 years, The Vintage Modern Wife is finally hashing out all about Addie's journey- the journey of her special needs daughter. So many touching and heart wrenching moments. Don't miss it!

Jojo Siwa Inspired Back to School Fashion with Walmart

July 24, 2020 in fashion, kids, walmart
This post on Jojo Siwa Inspired Back to School Fashion with Walmart and Rewardstyle is sponsored, but all thoughts and opinions are my own. It’s been a weird year hasn’t it? Summer is coming to a close and families are having to make really tough decisions. Some families are choosing to send their children to school. Some families are choosing to keep their children home to homeschool. Some families are choosing to take a hybrid approach and do a little of both. As the mom of a special needs child, I totally understand what a difficult decision it is to choose what to do for this school year. Our family wants to make things as normal as possible, something we’ve always strived for in Addie’s life, so we have been doing some back to school shopping at Walmart even though Addie will be participating in homebound services again this year.  !function(d,s,id){ var e, p = /^http:/.test(d.location) ? 'http' : 'https'; if(!d.getElementById(id)) { e = d.createElement(s); e.id = id; e.src = p + '://widgets.rewardstyle.com/js/shopthepost.js'; d.body.appendChild(e); } if(typeof window.__stp === 'object') if(d.readyState === 'complete') { window.__stp.init(); } }(document, 'script', 'shopthepost-script'); Turn on your JavaScript to view content I don’t know about your kids, but my children have vibrant personalities. I guess that’s what happens when both of your parents are extroverts, huh? Because of that, I wanted to grab some fun back to school fashion from Walmart that showed off Addie’s vibrant personality. She loves glitter, sequins, rainbows, and of course- pink. The back to school gear is Jojo Siwa inspired, who also loves all things glitter, sequins, rainbows, and of course-pink! It was the perfect choice. !function(d,s,id){ var e, p = /^http:/.test(d.location) ? 'http' : 'https'; if(!d.getElementById(id)) { e = d.createElement(s); e.id = id; e.src = p + '://widgets.rewardstyle.com/js/shopthepost.js'; d.body.appendChild(e); } if(typeof window.__stp === 'object') if(d.readyState === 'complete') { window.__stp.init(); } }(document, 'script', 'shopthepost-script'); Turn on your JavaScript to view content My kids have been growing like weeds, especially Addie. She has grown from a 2T in clothes last Fall to a 6 in kids thanks to her g-button. It is really important to me that not only do her clothes express her personality, but that they are affordable for me since we’re on a tight budget. Everything I chose for this Jojo Siwa inspired back to school fashion from Walmart can be mixed and matched with each other. It creates tons of options for outfits and allows for so much creativity! Jojo Siwa Back to School Inspired Fashion from Walmart: 1| Denim Jacket– A staple in every kid’s wardrobe. This denim jacket is so cute and ties together any outfit. Perfect for crisp Fall days whether your child is at home and discovering things in the backyard, or at school playing during recess.2| Metallic Star Backpack– Addie always has a backpack for all of her medical stuff, and it’s time for her to get a new one. This Metallic Star Backpack is so fun and colorful, and no one will doubt that your kid isn’t a star!3| Printed & Solid Leggings– Comfort is key when thinking about school clothes. My children are hard on their clothes, so I always am wanting comfortable clothes that last. Addie has a huge collection of printed and solid leggings, and these are a great addition to that collection. If your kid likes leggings, Walmart’s got you.4| Mustard Puff Sleeve Tee– I absolutely love this tee. It has “Smile. Sparkle. Shine.” written and is simple but adorable. The Mustard Puff Sleeve Tee is perfect for Fall thanks to the color, and the puffy sleeves make it really unique.5| Tie Front Top & Tie Dye Shorts– I’m a sucker for outfit sets. They make things so easy for kids to grab an outfit for the day. Tie dye tops and shorts are on trend, so this set is a must have for back to school this year. Walmart knows what’s up! !function(d,s,id){ var e, p = /^http:/.test(d.location) ? 'http' : 'https'; if(!d.getElementById(id)) { e = d.createElement(s); e.id = id; e.src = p + '://widgets.rewardstyle.com/js/shopthepost.js'; d.body.appendChild(e); } if(typeof window.__stp === 'object') if(d.readyState === 'complete') { window.__stp.init(); } }(document, 'script', 'shopthepost-script'); Turn on your JavaScript to view content 6| Jojo Siwa Dress with Hood– Addie loves wearing dresses. Her face always lights up whenever she wears them, like she knows she looks good! This Jojo Siwa dress is perfect for any diva and not only has a hood, but it also has a bow on it!7| Rolled Cuff Denim Shorts– Another staple in our back to school wardrobe. Addie prefers shorts to pants, so I couldn’t skip these on the list. These rolled cuff denim shorts are comfortable, fashionable, and a really affordable price- all things that were important for our family!8| Clear Glitter Sunglasses– No look is complete without sunglasses. Addie’s favorite accessory besides bows are definitely sunglasses. She has so many pairs I can’t even count. We are all about eye health in our home, so sunglasses are really important. The clear frames and sparkly multicolored glitter on these are too fun and perfect for big personalities.9| Jojo Siwa High Top Sneakers– I can’t even with these adorable shoes. I mean, a high top sneaker with rainbow colors and a bow?! To die for and fabulous.10| Long Sleeve Graphic Tees– Although it stays hot in Texas most of the school year, there are those days where it randomly will get chilly. I wanted to be prepared for those days and found these cute long sleeve graphic tees. Match them with any of the shorts or leggings and bam- a perfect outfit.11| Jojo Siwa and BowBow Graphic Tee– I couldn’t resist with this tee. The graphics with Jojo Siwa and her dog are fun and colorful. If your child is a Jojo Siwa fan, definitely grab this top!12| Lol Surprise Watch– As I mentioned before, Addie loves accessories. Help your child learn to tell time with this Lol Surprise Watch. It’s bright and colorful, has a fun spinner on the face, and helps with independence! !function(d,s,id){ var e, p = /^http:/.test(d.location) ? 'http' : 'https'; if(!d.getElementById(id)) { e = d.createElement(s); e.id = id; e.src = p + '://widgets.rewardstyle.com/js/shopthepost.js'; d.body.appendChild(e); } if(typeof window.__stp === 'object') if(d.readyState === 'complete') { window.__stp.init(); } }(document, 'script', 'shopthepost-script'); Turn on your JavaScript to view content So many parents right now have anxiety over going back to school. Things are tough right now, and if you’re feeling anxious or worried or scared, please know that I’m thinking of you.  Whatever you end up choosing for your family, I hope this collection of Jojo Siwa Inspired Back to School Fashion with Walmart helps you even just a little. If I am able to help even one person make one decision less daunting, I’ll be so happy.

She’s nervous and excited (just like Lawson) but she already made a few friends at church, so I know all will be just fine. She’s got some great classes chosen like swimming (tryouts are Monday), photography, and dance. I know she’s going to have an amazing year. We are so excited for her!
My sweet Lawson boy is officially a first grader! My sweet Lawson boy is officially a first grader! He is excited and nervous for the day but I know it’ll be a great one. This year he says he wants to be like daddy when he grows up so he can go do “storm duty” and help people whenever something happens to their homes or cars. He has a big heart!
What a treat tonight was! 🥰 Andrea told us she What a treat tonight was! 🥰

Andrea told us she loves to bake and one of the things she enjoys making is tiramisu. We had a life group get-together tonight and I asked her if she would be willing to make it. She said yes (and honestly how could anyone resist an Italian bringing a traditional Italian dessert?!) We got everything we needed and made it together. She even let Lawson help! We took it to the get-together and it was enjoyed by many 🥰

Addie and Lawson had fun too. Lawson was in the pool so much I never got a photo of him, but Addie was loving listening to all the conversations. She was just laughing and smiling the whole time. It was great!

The moms also enjoyed a fun clothes swap, and Andrea and I got several new-to-us clothes! We had a blast! Needless to say, it’s been a super fun evening. I’m ready to relax for the rest of the night because I’m worn OUT 😂
We’ve had a fun first day! Andrea (pronounced A We’ve had a fun first day!

Andrea (pronounced Ahn-dray-uh) flew in so late last night that we let her sleep in and she woke up to a late breakfast with pancakes 🥞 and bacon 🥓. She got all her things unpacked and settled in her new room and we grabbed some Chick Fil A for lunch. Always good! We spent the afternoon bowling and playing arcade games so we could have fun while getting to know each other. It was a blast! At the end, we all chose a little prize to celebrate.

We have plans to bbq for her tonight and we will see where the night takes us!
Everyone… meet our newest exchange daughter, And Everyone… meet our newest exchange daughter, Andrea! 🥰

We had lots of fun and were so happy to see so many friends again. Summer went by so quickly! 

Addie also got to meet her homeroom teacher at school tonight but we were so deep in conversation I missed a photo. Although she is a homebound student, we let the home room teacher we would love to see what opportunities are available to her to participate is some school activities if she’s feeling well.
