Looking for something to do this weekend?  Join me at the Launch Party for Bluestem Neighborhood this Sunday, July 25 from 12-6 p.m.  Northstar Community is located north of I-270 off of I-71, just 10 minutes from Polaris with close proximity to Tanger Outlets.

My husband went with me to the media preview and he instantly fell in love. I think the breakfast got his attention but the prices sold him.  He was taking photos and grabbing booklets of his favorite things, telling me that there were things I just HAD to see!  You should know my husband is super frugal - and while I love to save money (it's like a game to me), at the end of the day, I want what I want.  IKEA mixes both of our worlds together for this stage in our life. 

 Last year she just wasn't ready yet but all winter she's been gaining more confidence in the water, thanks to our swim lessons at Goldfish and now as the warmer weather is approaching and the pool is about to open, we wanted to set her up for success.  So we enrolled her in the March Jump Start Clinic in Westerville.  

"Having a baby is NOT easy.  You need time to recover and you need the best support so you can recover properly.  Debbie, Anna, and CBP gave me that."

It's still crazy to me that we are a family of FIVE!! As amazing as that is, it means that we need more space in our home...like right now!!  Our wishlist includes 4-5 bedrooms, 2-3 bathrooms, a playroom, an office for my husband and I, a nice sized kitchen with an island, top floor laundry, and storage.  I know it may sound like a lot but we currently live in a three bedroom 1.5 bathroom house and it's taught us that we need to be really picky with our next house.  I would also love a formal dining room but that's a want not a need. 

Life around here has been chaotic to say the least, so I have been loving having Eat Pak'd as my go to resource for healthy and easy lunches for my older two kiddos.  Eat Pak'd provides families with healthy, kid approved meals right to their front door through a subscription service.  Imagine no meal prep, no clean up, just a few clicks on your computer and a nice cold delivery at your door.  SO EASY!!!!
