Some Shades are quite personal, some are functional and some are just for fun.  Since the only Shade I have to talk about today is “how to tape another box and load it into a U-Haul”, I thought I’d spare you and let you read past posts instead :).
Today’s the last day of preschool for my kiddos…I can’t wait to have them home all summer!
On the first day of school…this year has flown by!
More Shades are coming up this season including topics like:
Moving Tips and Tricks
Yards and Outdoor Spaces
Why I love Boston (because you people keep asking me!)
Having 2 small kiddos at one time (and how I survived)

I’m featuring a yummy and easy Memorial Day recipe today on the foodie blog…

Such a quick little side for your weekend plans.
Have a great day everyone!
Happy Tuesday!

    Oh my! I totally remember when you first came up with the Shades of Shay. How have there already been 52? And those pics of the kids on the first day? So sweet. In the blink of an eye will be doing those for kn. Who am i kidding? In the blink of an eye we'll be trying to insist that they do them for their first day of middle school. 😉

    Ahh, moving. I got a reprieve this year but will be in the same boat next! Praying for you as you settle and as you continue the wait for A.

    Hope your move is going well! Such cute pics of your kids on the first day of school. I still do that with my boys – I have pics of my oldest son all the way up to his senior year of high school. Have a great week!

    I just love your sweet blog so very much! I can't wait for your post on why you love Boston so much… I'm pretty sure it has something to to with your beloved Red Socks!!! My hubby and I will be traveling to Boston in early July from our home in Oregon. We are very excited. God bless you and your dear family. 🙂

    I read your blog daily! I love it, can't remember how I found it, maybe pintrest…and now I love ready Pintrest Told me to as well!

    I am a Bostonian, born and raised and still reside, guess you call me a townie! So it's nice to hear of your love for the Red Sox! It's a baseball and sports loving town we live in!

    Can't wait to hear why you love it, I am sure it's many of the things that we all love about it too!

    Would love to have an "Organized and Clean Car" post (need tips on keeping the car clean with kids!) and I know you are a holiday enthusiast–do you do any 4th of July decorating?

    And how do you keep your life organized and your home clean without being a perfectionist or driving your kids nuts with constant reminders? I want to be present and fun, but also…I like things clean and organized! I bet you have some great tips on this since you are such a great, fun Mom!!! Thank you!!!
