How many of you moms get asked about 87 times a day if your kid(s) can have a snack??
How many times are they TRULY hungry? About 3… haha.
For me. I really try and feed Maya good healthy meals, and I try and limit snacks to small things here and there in between.
SO..when Goodness Knows contacted me and asked me if I wanted to try their bars, I was all in!
They are portioned out bars!!! AKA…you don’t have to give out the entire bar if you don’t want to. Great for the kids that ask for a snack and then only take a few bites. That is NOT Maya, but I know a lot of kids are that way. The 4 portions totally save you on wasted food!
Did I mention they are all Non GMO, No Artificial Sweeteners, and Gluten Free?!
You can totally tailor it to your kids need. You can say…”You can have TWO bars!”
Or…”Three!” Or “FOUR!”
And this is done for me! I don’t have to break a part of the bar off for her. I just give her a square!
I’ve been keeping these in my purse in a little baggie, and it’s been super helpful to just give her a square here and there!
Clearly, she loved these!!
Thank you SO much Goodness Knows for sending us yummy bars to try! They were a HIT!
By the way. I kept these hidden from my husband and teenage son until we could try them and photograph them. Afterwards, they were asking if it was ok to have some, and my teenager said “These are really good! I could eat about 20 of them!” He’s 6′ 4″ and 17…. 🙂
The Huz liked them too!
SO…suffice to say, they are now a crowd pleaser in my multi age/multi opinionated family!!
*** While these were given to us, all thoughts and opinions are my own! ***
And it IS! But, I love the pirate style lace up to the top. The destroyed raw hem crop flare… The LEOPARD PRINT booties….DYING when I found these!
And a cross body purse is SOOOO refreshing after the ginormous “diaper-carry-every-snack-entertainment-toy-crayons-coloring book” purse you have to carry as a mom of a toddler. You can easily throw it over your shoulder and carry the bare minimums-LOVE!
I can’t even with these next two….
Up on our neighbors porch, and I’m like “GET DOWN!!”
“Who me?!”
So, this was one of those warmer fall evenings, and ALL the neighborhood kids were out. It is a miracle I got any shots of just us, because they all just wanted to play.
And then, Maya played Star Wars with ANOTHER set of neighbor kids that came out after the other ones went in for dinner!
Don’t mess with her!!! She’s got older brothers…
And…OMG, DYING!
True reason for these next two shots in the “Keeping it Real” section 🙂
I think a lot of people get intimidated by open back tops. But, I looooooove them!! Layer a tank under for the day, and show off your pretty lace bralette at night! I honestly could go without a bra, but I love the peek of lace!
Yes, I have a go big or go home ugly laugh…oh well. 🙂
I honestly felt bad that I didn’t do more of a DIY costume this year, but Maya saw this mask and tail at Goodwill, and it was game over.
Houston took her over to my In Laws early so they could see her in her costume. Probably the only actual people to see her since she will be wearing a super warm jacket tonight!
Every Part of her costume was thrifted.
My favorite part of this sweater is the back!! I’ve talked A LOT about my love of an interesting back. You can look nice and conservative from the front, but give a hint of attitude when you turn around!
Thank goodness for a zoom lens! I kid you not. She ran REALLY far from me! How many moms can relate? Oh…all of you?? 🙂
Clearly she thought it was hilarious…
LOVE!!
LOVE all these next ones. I honestly could have posted at least 5 more, but had to reign myself in at some point!
I’ll be SO sad when I can’t pick her up anymore!!! The laughs right in my face…the tight cuddles…and even her licks (kisses). 😉
On me…
Every once in a while she makes a very agressive dive/fall. At almost 50lbs, that isn’t insignificant!! My face here…hahaha.
And….Maya got control of the remote again ha!
What a lot of our shots look like…
She almost gave me a heart attack running around and jumping from log to log!
That sky though…
Looooooooove this next one!!
On me…
Sooooo, I know I’m sounding like a broken record, but I took these images TWO months ago haha. We happened to have a cooler evening, so we layered up a bit. Because of that I put it on the back burner for when temps did start to get cooler for real!
Those two dots in the distance are my dad and Maya 🙂
Our faces hahaha!
She’s in heaven when he does this. I feel like I’m going to vomit from dizziness just watching!
She says all the time….
Pretty sure she has the best laugh EVER!
Oh, and this outfit? Totally wish I could pull it off!!
One of the things I’ve always loved capturing…
When she was younger, it always ended in her knocking me over with a hug. Now…she just runs on past…haha.
SUPER MAYA!!!
And meanwhile…there’s Maya art directing haha. 😉
I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve worn these clogs! I’m so sad to be saying good bye to them until next summer!
And…had to get shots of both of our shoes, because our shoe shots are some of my favs!
Seriously…dying.
And…then I gave her the remote to take pics of us together. I feel like she has way more fun when she has control of things at times. But again…a kazillion shoe shots later… 🙂
