Goodbye Summer, Hello Kindergarten

683 1024 Sheridan Gregory

I can’t believe that the end of summer is near. This summer completely flew by & now we’re soaking in every last minute together & saying goodbye summer, hello Kindergarten. We’ve been exploring our new area & finding so many fun things to do with the boys before Kannon starts Kindergarten. (I still can’t believe he is starting Kindergarten already, it’s breaking my heart that he’s so grown up but I’m also so incredibly proud of the little boy he has become.) These photos were taken at a nearby park that has so many fun things including a zoo & a train. Our boys are already begging us to go back so if you’re in the Orange County area, make sure to check out the Irvine Regional Park.

With the impending school year drawing nearer, we have begun all of the back to school prep. I’m not going to lie, the back to school prep was always my favorite & I’m beyond thrilled that I get to do it with Kannon now! The back to school clothes shopping is definitely my number one favorite, followed closely in second with all of the school essentials like a new backpack, pencils, notebooks & all of those necessities. Please tell me I’m not alone & that you guys loved the back to school prep as much as I did!?

If you guys remember from this post we did a few months back, we love the brand Joules & we were so excited when they asked us to partner again for a back to school post! Kannon loves to pick out his own clothes & he had so much fun going through their website to find some pieces for his back to school wardrobe. Like mother like son! How cute are both of the boys dinosaur tee shirts here & here? I’m also loving Kannon’s red cords for a change from our favorite denim jeans! I’ve linked all of our favorites below if you guys are currently shopping for back to school or for an updated fall wardrobe because Joules has so many cute options right now & you guys can get 20% off your purchase with the code KANNON20 – Which makes this the perfect time to do some shopping for the whole family!

Now for all of you parents out there, are your kids starting school? If so, are you jumping for joy or shedding a few tears in the parking lot after school drop off!? Sound off in the comments below!

-This adventure backpack is perfect for younger kids starting school or perfect for little ones to take on a trip!

-Kind of obsessed with this rocket backpack as well though & I might have to purchase because Kannon is obsessed with all things rockets & space!

-This polka dot dress is a new favorite. It’s perfect to transition into fall with a cardigan or sweater over top!

-I can’t wait to have Adam & Kannon match in their blue plaid button ups! You guys know I love matching 🙂

-These striped dresses are my favorite. The fabric is high quality & they’re are the perfect classic piece for your wardrobe. I also have this fluted sleeve style that I love & wore in this Instagram!

Spring Picnic in the Park

If you’ve been following along since the beginning of the year, you know that our goal was to have more family adventures. They didn’t need to be big adventures necessarily, we just wanted to make the most out of everyday. I feel like we’ve been doing a pretty good job with this but since life has been so busy, we wanted to plan a special day with just the four of us out in nature. Nature does the body gooooood!

This spring picnic was such a fun time for all of us. Kannon decided that it was HIS picnic & the excitement was adorable. He literally woke up & the first thing he said was, “We’re going on a picnic today!!” & then proceeded to do a happy dance haha. We love to include the boys in these type of activities as much as possible so I took Kannon on a mommy/Kannon date to pick out all of the food for our picnic. To say he loved it is an understatement! He’s growing up so fast & it’s freaking me out! Hendrix also loved the picnic because he got to eat allll the snacks & run wild/free 🙂

I’m going to be honest, I loved getting us all dressed up & I especially loved that I got to match with Kannon. I don’t have a little girl, so I will take any opportunity to match with my boys! The team behind Joules was so sweet to send us these outfits & I thought this picnic would be the perfect excuse to wear them. I’m loving this blue gingham print & I can guarantee I’ll be wearing this dress a ton this Spring/Summer. I mean, it has pockets guys! Plus, you can get 20% off your order at Joules with the code SHERIDAN so this is the perfect time for us to be twins in our matching dresses!

If you’re looking for something fun to do with your family, go on a spring picnic! You obviously don’t have to set it up like this (unless you like to be extra like me :)) but just grab a big blanket & some snacks & get outside! I love this idea because it gets everyone outside & you can even do it in your backyard if you wanted. Kids are so easily entertained, especially when they’re outdoors & I can guarantee it will make for a great day!
