{Wanna see your mom lose her mind? Have a drawer in your bathroom that looks like this. 

Seriously kids... toothpaste is not that difficult. #the5yearolddoesntbrushinhere}

Guess who wanted a cleaner football helmet? (Yay for Norwex!)

{From Irish baseball to Irish football. Pretty sure this is gonna stress momma out more than him standing on a pitching mound.}

{7:30 bedtime for this little kindergartener. First two days were so good... I wasn't prepared for tears on Day 3. Thankful for amazing co-workers who helped us both dry our eyes. #backtoschool #change is hard.}

{My students drew my picture today. This one was my favorite.}

{My biggest observations so far with a class full of boys? They are loud. At least one of them is always moving. And the whistling and weird noises. So many weird noises. #firstgrade #only9 #seemslikemore}

{I really need to get off the couch. But...}

{Marveling tonight at all the different shades of green... right outside my door. #farmlife #nofilter}

So horrifying. We've lived her for 2 years and this is the first one I've ever actually seen.

Corey got him in a bucket and we posted his picture on Facebook for snake loving friends to identify. Creepy, creepy, creepy. 

I probably shouldn't have been so freaked out considering he was only about 12 inches long. But still creepy.

Norwex. {day 4}

Hawaii achievers... walking across stage! 

{Made it home safely (to a clean house, even!) New friends, so many ideas and I only "almost" left my suitcase in MN. (For real. It would have been awful.) And now a week til school starts. }

Norwex. {day 3}

Text: "Do you know where they are sitting?"
Me: "I don't see them..."
I'm pretty sure it was only funny to me. (and maybe Jennea...)

Norwex. {day 2}

This little Norwex business has been such a blessing to our family. Bigger than we ever even imagined! And I love being a part of a company that is so invested in the environment and making the world a safer, healthier place! 

{College roomies. Now hotel roomies.}

These sculptures are all made from trash found washed up from the ocean. Amazing!

Norwex. {day 1}

The week before school started, I got to go on a fun little adventure. 

The Norwex National Convention in Minneapolis, Minnesota! 

{I really prefer the days where I only see 4:30 once a day. The PM one.

Air travel is not my favorite. But happy luggage does make thins more enjoyable!}

#NinjasTakeMN

{She hasn't thrown up on me yet. (But we haven't left the ground yet...) #NinjasTakeMN}

Loved the public transportation/train in Minneapolis! 

Mall of America

{Decisions, decisions. Turns out my comfy walking shoes weren't so comfy.}

So excited to see new products being announced tomorrow! Yes... that is a security guard! 

Watching the video to explain our t-shirts. =)
