\\ As a Wisconsin girl born & raised, I am a lover of good cheese. I grew up next to an amazing cheese factory & now again live near a great cheese factory as well.  This article was hilarious & so I have to share it. It says that "Cheese really is crack" & the study reveals it is as addictive as drugs! ha 

\\ YES, YES, YES. I read this last night & completely agree. We grew up in 4H families & want our children to do the same. "It's time to teach our children was is truly important in life!"

\\ "I probably say, think, type, whisper, message, or text those words dozens of times a day." I am tired of saying I'm sorry was written by Finding Joy. These words couldn't be more true for me. I am always saying I am sorry for something  & need to stop.

\\ Mmmm....I can't wait to make this!!! I have been drooling over Crockpot Chicken Fajitas this week! Easy & delicious for the win!

\\ Since, I always seem to talk about food. Maybe I should start thinking about fitness a little more than I do. Motivation, where art thou?? Anyways, I think I should start this Ab & Squat CHALLENGE soon. What do you think? 

\\ Clever no-sew Halloween costume ideas! I absolutely LOVE Mary Poppins. I love this idea!

\\ Back to School: Establishing a Schedule- I printed this schedule from I Heart Organizing last year before my son started first grade. We will be using them again this year for my son, who will be in 2nd grade and my daughter that will be in 4K! I hope they work!! We are not ready for this back to school routine quite yet...

\\ Breakfast Ideas for Back to School are on my mind right now! With school starting in less than 2 weeks, I need to start thinking of quick, easy & nutritious breakfasts for my kids.  What are your kids favorite breakfast before school?

\\ Such an inspiring & beautiful tribute to an amazing woman who passed away from breast cancer. This story takes place in a town near where I grew up. The story has already been on ABC & NBC and is still going strong. I love seeing it shared by people across the country, Babbette would be so proud! I hope they raise millions!

\\ Eight Mom Moments Not to Miss- Rachel at Finding Joy always seems to have the right words at the right time! I just love following her blog. This post is another great reminder to cherish the simple moments & say yes. 

\\ My Fall Fashion Pinterest Board... is filled with adorable ideas! My favorite fall top is my gingham button up from JCREW Factory. I can't wait to start wearing it again. I love this adorable outfit with the cardigan over top!

// I want to make or buy this windmill piece of art! I absolutely love it and know exactly where I would put it in my home!!!

// Craving this delicious Quinoa Avocado Spinach Power salad that I found on pinterest! YUM!

// How to do Beach Waves- I need to get this figured out. Now that I have my new 'Bob' haircut, I need to figure out new ways of styling it. I have never been the best at styling my hair, so this is on my TO DO list! 

// Tawnya from All of Life's Little Adventures has an amazing blog! One of my favorite recent posts was called: Instagram vs. Real Life.  I also want to be cheerful & post inspirational photos on my Instagram account, but I also want people to see my real life too- which isn't all rainbows & unicorns!

//I absolutely love this kids bathroom idea! Our kids bathroom needs a major makeover, it's been the same fishing theme for the past 9+ years.  Next big project = #kidsbathroom 

// Make things happen. Lara Casey is such an inspirational blogger. I have only been reading her blog for the last few months, but every time I read it...I am blown away by her words. I recently purchased her book & will be starting it this weekend. Her work is my creative business dream- Organizing a wedding magazine, creating & designing prints, writing a book to  empower women around the world and an incredible entrepreneur to boot! I pray I will be able to meet her some day! I encourage you to check out her blog and her book!

//I LOVE this green top from JCREW Factory!!!! The color is perfect and I adore the bouncy flutter sleeves. It would be perfect for summer! I will be adding this to my spring wardrobe wishlist!

// I read this article from Scary Mommy earlier this week and sobbed while reading it. It is an amazing personal account about perspective. This mom is so right & I needed this little nudge to remember that the little things that your kids do that make you crazy don't matter, if they are healthy & happy...it's the most important gift in the world. 

// Can I eat this quinoa taco salad right now? Yum...The picture definitely sells this recipe, I can't wait to make it. Printing this recipe- NOW! 

// This weekend, I am going to paint the interior side of my front door and I am so excited! I know it sounds silly, but I can't wait to add some color to my front door from the inside! Emily at Jones Design always inspires me to be creative!
