Hope everyone is well!

Back to Life, Back to Reality....

Well, the kids are back in school and we are back to a routine! Hope everyone has survived the crazy month of August. It's so exhausting mentally, physically and financially ! All you moms with school age kids know what I mean.

I found these fun printables today, thought I would share them. If you're like me you need all the organization help you can get!

That time of year again....

Summer is flying by! Tonight is my sons last baseball game. I just can't believe it, Already? I will have two kids in full day school and my baby is crawling and pulling himself up on anything he can.

School supplies are everywhere, and yesterday I went to Costco and saw Halloween decorations. Unbelievable! I knew this morning it was about time for school to start because the kids were doing nothing but fighting, and at 2 this afternoon I was dreaming of a glass of wine, while singing its 5'0clock somewhere!

I do love the season changes we get here in Colorado, and by the time fall actually arrives I will be more than ready to say goodbye to 95 degree days, and hello to sweaters, pumpkins and chai lattes. But I am always sad to say goodbye to another summer. So here's to the last few weeks before we head back to school.

Cheers!

More on Parks

A couple weeks ago I shared with you an article on Best Denver Parks.

Recently I went with some girlfriends and our kiddos to two great parks!

The first one was Westlands Park off Quebec and Orchard.

We has a great time. Lots of shade, great play area, tree house and even a spray park!

I have some picture to share!

Another great park we visited was Civic Park.

We went over to the fountains which are between the Zoo and the DMNS. We couldn't see them from the car, you have to get out and walk to them. The fountains turn on at 11. Kids had a great time splashing around. We enjoyed the beautiful view of the city!
