Haha this title makes me laugh. I am going to post my usual family update but also the things I am loving right now. I was thinking...Kate Spade bag, Lily Pulitzer dresses, Tory Burch sandals, and pearls....why that could be the dress code for a Stepford Wife.
I think that would best sum up the style I love. Girly. Classic. Pretty.
I love 50's style dresses, pearls, and heels. I think I love the look of Stepford Wives, I just sure don't act like one. I say this as I have a load of laundry to fold and dishes to put away.
Here are some things I am loving.....
Kate Spade purses. I actually do not own a Kate Spade purse. I am surprised and don't know how that happened but I hope to fix it soon! Kate Spade carries such classic bags in such beautiful colors.
Lily Pulitzer dresses. Oh.my.word. They are so pretty and have such fun patterns with classic lines.
Tory Burch. She designs such simple yet elegant things that add luxe to anything. I hope to get these flip flops so that they can jazz up my low key summer outfits.
And I have always loved put together, classic looks. They are mommy-friendly and modest......and look great! Perfect combo!
School is winding down, summer is near, and we are ready. I sat down last night to try to create a daily schedule. I know we won't stick to it exactly everyday but I wanted some sort of structure to follow. I hope to do some "home schooling" curriculum this summer. Grayson and Ella have been little sponges just soaking everything in. Joey and I feel like it is a great time to really expose them to biblical lessons and verses even more.
It has been a whirlwind of a week and it was only 4 days. That is how you can tell it is almost summer. Time goes slow leading up to the break and you just can't wait!!!
We celebrated Aunt Lala's, Papa's, and Uncle Dusty's birthdays at the Acker Birthday Party last weekend!! (May is an expensive month..haha)
I was able to go on Grayson's field trip with him last week and it was precious. It was a gorgeous day and I was so thankful I was able to be a part of his first field trip. My heart melted because there were many times he wanted to just hold my hand! He was so excited to go that he even wanted to decorate a lunch bag while Ella helped me bake cookies!
He also had some buddies spend the night. They were so stinkin' cute! They loved seeing all of Joey's Star Wars props for outreaches and then, of course, watching Star Wars.
We made a couple of Northpark trips to shop Nordstrom's huge sale. But I always have fun just walking around and eating at Snappy Salad (my aboslute fav place ever). Just being with Joey and the kiddos and looking around always ends up being a pretty good time.
We got our pictures back from Aj's Expressions and I was honestly not expecting many good ones. She is amazing but one of the kiddos was grouchy and it was sooo windy. But she amazes us every time and here are a couple I love!!
The kids and I with Young Grandma leading the way.....enjoyed Dallas Children's Theatre's Charlotte's Web. I was a little nervous about how they would respond but they loved it and so did I. They loved when Wilbur ran down the row behind us. After the play, the characters stood in the lobby giving autographs. Ella enjoyed getting her program signed. Her favorite was Charlotte and Grayson liked Wilbur and Templeton. Young Grandma liked Templeton, too. It was a great treat that we really enjoyed!
For me, work is getting busy and I am trying to get everything done and also trying to get things in order for next year. We threw a Fun Friday for the staff to get the positivity going!
I had my last Friends of Rachel meeting and my sweet girls made me this!
And I got the news that my amazing principal got a job somewhere else. It is bittersweet. Everyone is happy because he received a promotion but we are all sad because he is a wonderful leader and person!! : (
Moving along, here are some snippets of randomness of our past few days....
