    I loved this! Such amazing and sweet pictures! I loved your baseball tee too- may i ask where you got it? Love. Peace.

    • missy May 24, 2013 at 1:08 pm

      American Apparel (link to the exact one is at the bottom of the post). Thanks, Nora!

  • Michelle May 24, 2013 at 1:04 pm

    How do you like the Jose eber curling wand??? I have the Remington one you recommended and I’ve been loving it! But I have the Jose eber blow dryer and it has changed my life 🙂

    • missy May 24, 2013 at 1:08 pm

      I LOVE it! The trio has three different sizes (makes for for a different look). I also have their 32 mm wand which is more like the Remington. My Remington gave up the ghost a few months ago!

  • Ari@The Diva Dish May 24, 2013 at 1:13 pm

    What a sweet family! I wish my day started at 8 am every day, but both my kids are up at FIVE in the morning :-)!

  • janette May 24, 2013 at 1:44 pm

    Wonderful post, thanks for sharing. Love the colourful straws, where did you find them?
    Thanks

    • missy May 24, 2013 at 2:12 pm

      They’re from Target… but we also use the reusable polka dot ones from World Market

  • Ashley May 24, 2013 at 1:57 pm

    Hows potty training going? Just when i was at the brink of insanity my 3 yr old just figured it all out in a matter of 2 days, no pull ups even! SO many moms of boys said the exact same thing happened w/ them…..boys take longer but when they get it, they GET IT. good luck! Oh my gosh, and THANK YOU for your secret to Beck’s jeggings. LOL!!! Who says boys can’t rock them! love it!

    • missy May 24, 2013 at 2:11 pm

      Gage is picking it up really quick! I just didn’t rush him until he was ready. And yes, the jeggings are something he gets asked about daily… When they’re babies who says they can’t sport stretchy girl leggings! ha! His little sport shorts (golf pic) are also in the girls department! ha!

  • Courtnee Best May 24, 2013 at 2:10 pm

    baby’s expressions are getting cuter and louder everyday! 😉 you look adorable in the baseball Tee, now I just HAVE to go buy one! lol cute family cute life!

  • jaclyn @ www.lilmsadventures.blogspot.com May 24, 2013 at 3:58 pm

    Such a great post! Your family is just adorable! when did you start g on golf? we have the plastic golf set for my LO ..but am itching to take him on the grass

  • Kierstyn May 24, 2013 at 4:03 pm

    Oh my goodness!
    Your son on the potty is the most adorable thing!!

  • Anna @ Your Healthy Place May 24, 2013 at 4:29 pm

    I love THAT “Hey Ho Let’s Go” t-shirt (or sleeper?)! Also, are you doing photography now? I mean, you totally should – you have the talent – I just didn’t know you were doing it professionally. Good for you!

    • missy May 24, 2013 at 4:43 pm

      You’re so sweet, Anna! Not a professional photog… Just helping a friend out! Blogging keeps me busy enough! It was certainly fun though!

  • Melissa May 24, 2013 at 5:00 pm

    Kind of an odd question, but I love your table and chairs; would you mind sharing where you got them? We are trying to find a new set. Thanks!

  • Kerri C May 24, 2013 at 5:56 pm

    I can tell you are an amazing mommy! I hope you don’t think I am being rude, but I was wondering which size you are wearing in the baseball tee. I’d like to order one, but I am stuck on the sizing. Does it run true to size? Thank you!

    • missy May 24, 2013 at 6:41 pm

      Oh you’re not rude at all! Quite complimentary, actually! Ha! I bought xs in all of mine since they’re unisex.

  • Court Star @ StarSystemz May 24, 2013 at 11:53 pm

    Your family is SO sweet! I hope to have my own family soon and partake in these exact events! I love the strawberries in water, I often add mint to mine for a little burst! Hope you have an amazing weekend 🙂 Love + Shine CourtStar

  • Eliza May 25, 2013 at 3:35 am

    I would love to purchase those blue and white napkins that you have! Where did you find them?

    • missy May 27, 2013 at 3:34 pm

      The napkins came as a set of four (varied colors) from Anthropologie a few years back.

  • Kim May 25, 2013 at 1:32 pm

    Your family is adorable! What brand/where did you find the blocks/car? Thank you

    • missy May 27, 2013 at 3:33 pm

      Blocks and cars are Circo at Target. The blocks come in a cloth bag and the cars are part of a set (a large truck that carries 4 small ones).

  • Cas May 26, 2013 at 10:00 am

    Wow. How do your children go with late bedtime? My two year old is in bed by 6 pm ready for a 6:40 am start. Will things be different when school starts? Just curious how things work in America. When do kids start school there?
    Love your pics and so jealous that you get to the golf course every evening. Our little girl plays on the golf team at school.

    • missy May 27, 2013 at 3:36 pm

      We start our bedtime routine starts around 7:00 depending on how long they napped during the day. They’re in bed no later than 8:00. School start times are different for each school.

  • Delaney @lover of clothes May 27, 2013 at 6:01 pm

    I am obsessed with whatever the boys are eating their snack off of. Absolutely adorable! Is it s cutting board or what?

  • Jamie May 28, 2013 at 1:16 pm

    Great blog- daily reader.
    I would love for you to do a post (or a few) on your fitness routine/healthy diet. I love getting hair/fashion advice from your blog- I’m guessing you also have a lot to share on some health topics.
    (will try the green smoothie)!

  • Brandi May 31, 2013 at 1:46 am

    You went to TC without me??? Agh! Haha. J/k. Super cute post. One of my favs. You’ll treasure this friend. Xoxo.

  • Mel June 9, 2013 at 4:29 pm

    The picture of the couple is beautiful! What camera do you use for your photos and do you have any favorite editing processes?

  • Ashley June 13, 2013 at 3:12 am

    I love these 12 hour posts! I hope these are a regular on your blog. As a new mommy, you are someone I look up too and love the peek into your day! I would love to know how tranistioning a 2 a-day napping baby into a 1 a-day napping baby. Thank you for being such an inspiring momma! Xo
