back to school.

.
Well, the first week of school has come and gone. Roman's school lets out two hours early for the first two weeks due to the heat, which is making for a nice transition. I don't want to think too much about my little boy being gone until 3:00 everyday yet! We went to Target + Old Navy last Friday to finish up our back to school shopping and it was so much fun. Well, until Asher's melt down that lasted two days over the light-up Ninja Turtle shoes he didn't get to buy, yikes...
.
Roman seems very happy with his class. He miraculously picked a navy blue lunch box over all the obnoxious cartoon character ones which secretly made me happy and he told me all about trading some of his goldfish crackers at lunch with his classmates; it was, "so awesome," he says. Roman was super excited to tell me that he got a chance to be a "behavior bee" in his class, which means that he was rewarded for his good behavior by being able to sit in the bumblebee bean bag chair. His face was just lit up when he told me about it in the car. He really is just the sweetest, sweetest little boy - his teacher is pretty lucky I'd say.
.
I am exhausted from my first week of school. I feel overwhelmed and stressed and a little in over my head. I really am not used to being so busy and it's just really tiring especially on Tuesdays + Thursdays where my days are 12+ long with work and school now. I'm still trying to figure things out as far as classes transferring / financial aid etc. as well so needless to say, I am super glad that it's Saturday. I don't work OR have school today because Aaron is working in the mountains and I'm hoping the boys will want to pretty much sit around and do nothing all day. Maybe I'll sort through some laundry as well since we have a new (to us) washer + dryer set!
.
FabKids sent us these "back to school" outfits and oh my gosh, I am in LOVE with them. These little Fender and NPR tee shirts are just the coolest things ever and they are super soft / great quality as well. I've had these outfits waiting in the wings to be photographed for a while now but it's just been too gosh darn hot to put the boys in jeans. Last night was a super cool / rainy / fall weather kind of evening so after baths I took the boys out to the porch to do our traditional back to school sign coloring. I love how Roman went for a "color-blocking" technique and Asher was very excited and worked hard on his as well, although afterwards he ripped both of these papers to shreds in true Asher style! At least I have the photos though, right? ;)

How is the back to school season going for you all?

FabKids // July Picks.

We are having so much fun using the FabKids subscription clothing company! My boys now know what to expect when a FabKids package arrives at our door and they tear in immediately to check out their new outfits! Roman and Asher really have enjoyed the process of choosing outfits each month and then seeing that blue package arrive at the door.
.
We have a pretty good time with our photo shoots as well. :)
I am really happy with the shorts that came with these outfits. They remind me of the shorts from our April outfits; they are thin and soft and I love the fun pattern! Asher's outfit came with 2 little tank tops (which are sold as a pair for the price of one!) and I'm pretty much dying over that cuteness. I tried to talk Roman into the tank tops as well since he is hot blooded as ever and needs a few more of these, but once he saw this shark shirt his mind was made up!
.

brothers // style.

FabKids sent these matching outfits for my boys in April and I'm finally getting around to sharing these photos with you all! If you aren't familiar with FabKids yet, they are an awesome new subscription clothing company for kids! We have truly enjoyed the opportunity to work with this fun brand; my boys love picking new outfits each month!

.

     One of our favorite places to walk near our house turned out to be PERFECT for this shoot because it is so lush right now. Unfortunately, lush brings mosquitoes like crazy out here and we were fighting through swarms of them to quickly get these photos!

.

     I'll let the pictures speak for themselves this time, but if you'd like to learn more about FabKids, check out their site: here!

FabKids { May Outfit }

      I'm here to share another fabulous FabKids outfit with you guys today! In case you missed my first FabKids post, let me give you a little background info! FabKids is an outfit club offering parents and children the chance to choose from a selection of affordable and unique outfits each month. 

.

     If you check out their site, FabKids will ask you to take a style profile quiz for your child and then suggest personalized outfits based on the results. From there you have the option to make a purchase, become a member or just browse the site! Clothing is currently available for boys and girls sizes 2-12 and each outfit includes 2 pieces for $29.95.

.

     Also, FabKids is currently offering new members their first outfit at only $15 with free shipping!


      I have always been a little bit obsessed with the subscription company craze out there right now and FabKids is the first one that I've actually tried. It is seriously so fun to see the new selections that come out each month and choose outfits! The clothing from FabKids is super unique and it's given me a chance to branch out and try looks for my kiddos that I might not naturally pick out at the store. To top it off, my boys LOVE their FabKids stuff! The clothes are comfy, fun and colorful - perfect for my little boys.

.

     For our May pick, I chose the Colorblock Stripes Outfit for Roman because, well duh - the colorblock knit shorts. They are adorable! I really love how they look with the black and white stripes, it's a combination that I would never have thought to try but it is super cute!

.

Check out the FabKids site and take a look at the outfits that they select for your child!

FabKids review!

.

     I'm SO excited to have the chance to work with a really neat company and to be able to share a little bit about them with you all! FabKids was started by a team of parents including mom and actress Christina Applegate. They are an outfit club offering parents and children  the chance to choose from a selection of affordable and unique outfits each month. 

.

     If you check out their site, FabKids will ask you to take a style profile quiz for your child and based on the results, they will suggest outfits. From there you have the option to purchase outfits or just browse the site!  Clothing is currently available for boys and girls sizes 2-12 and each outfit includes 2 pieces for $29.95.

.

     FabKids clothing items are put together in "outfits" which each have a name. I seriously had so much fun looking through all the outfits on their site and picking some for my boys! Asher has a good collection of hand me downs from his big brother, but Roman is definitely in need of some new summer clothes! 

.

     For Roman, I decided on the "totally fly outfit." I am really into the color block shorts that come with this outfit. There isn't much cuter than little boys in preppy shorts and these will also be perfect for nicer occasions this summer. Roman strongly requested this fly shirt when he was browsing FabKids with me so this outfit was a perfect combination that we were both happy with!

.

     To coordinate with his brother, I chose the "Fly Stripes Outfit" for Asher. I thought the little color block shorts would be adorable on Asher as well but we are currently struggling to convince him to even wear shorts! Asher is VERY particular about his clothing. He is slowly warming up to the idea but I thought that these harem knit pants would be a good transition for him. Not to mention they are so, so adorable. 

.

     I seriously adore this outfit; it's probably my favorite outfit that FabKids is offering right now! It's so soft and cuddly and Asher has literally refused to take it off since these photos were taken yesterday!

(I love these photos of Asher pointing to the letters on his shirt!)

.

I encourage you all to go check out FabKids for yourself!
Currently, they are offering each new member their first outfit for only $15 + free shipping! You really can't beat that!
