About a week ago, I was talking to my husband about how I was both
sad and relieved that summer was over. I was lamenting the fact that I
felt like I'd kind of failed my older two kids in the summer fun
department because so much of my time was spent in three hour blocks due
to our new baby. As a result, they mostly played together inside,
watched shows or were out in the backyard. Sure, I still planned some
activities and we crossed a few things off our bucket list but as a
whole, I felt the summer wasn't all that memorable. I crave routine and
predictability and with the start of a new school year, as well as a
baby who's schedule is emerging, I finally have both of those things. And
that's when that old enemy "mom guilt" started creeping in big time and
I felt bad for looking forward to my kids being gone at school. If you
have kids, I'm guessing you've felt this way too at least a few times in
your life. It can be so easy to let that voice tell us that we didn't
do enough or what we did do wasn't good enough.

5 Fun {and Free} Disney Printables
I love Disney movies. They make me laugh. They make me cry. And I have no problem admitting that I still watch them by myself sometimes at night. So when I saw this month's prompt for Movie Club Monday was for Disney movies, I was so excited! Then I felt a little bummed because I was having a hard time choosing just one movie to post about. And then I thought, why choose just one? So this month I'm sharing some of my favorite Disney movie quotes and song lyrics with you ("with you...with you...with you...with you...with you!")
