#InstaStyle Recap

August 2, 2017 By Kari 1 Comment

Instagram Two-1Happy Wednesday, friends! Can you believe it’s August already?

We spent this last week celebrating my 36th birthday and our son Wyatt’s second birthday! (Our birthdays are a day apart.)  I still can’t believe he’s two. He’s talking SO much and loves to make people laugh. I’m putting off potty training until the fall, and I’m still not convinced he needs to be in a big boy bed. Two topics for another time, I suppose. Please message me if you have any advice! As for me, I’m cool (mostly) with moving up another digit. Check out my Top Seven Signs I’m Absolutely Getting Older.

Ryan’s parents came to town for the festivities which also meant Ryan and I got to go out for dinner, just the two of us. We decided on the Fairmont Hotel MacDonald‘s patio and enjoyed the best views in the city… not to mention the amazing cocktails. It’s such a beautiful time of year.

Even though we’re being bombarded with fall fashion and back-to-school ads, I’m still soaking up summer. I always like to remind myself September can be the forgotten month of summer (at least in Edmonton, Canada where I live.) This is such a great time to stock up on some of those staples for next summer with everything going on sale. So, time to shop the latest from my Instagram!

Tik Tok Trend ⤵️ You've heard of 'Girl Math' Tik Tok Trend ⤵️

You've heard of 'Girl Math' but this is Mom Math. This all make sense to you, moms? Sure does to me. 🙃

😭 I'm having a hard time with this one.  I kn 😭 I'm having a hard time with this one. 

I know - bust out the 🎻 - but seriously. I've had some good cries this week as we start to pack up and get rid of some of our baby stuff. Most of it we've had since Wyatt came on the scene.

It hurts to know this baby-making chapter is closing and the last jump in the jolly jumper is over and I'll never be pregnant again.😭😭 Of course, I'm excited for everything ahead but this is hard on the heart. Been here? You feel this?

Who can we call to get these lyrics changed? 😄 Who can we call to get these lyrics changed? 😄 ... but seriously? 

Actually listened to the lyrics while Miss. Rachel was on.🙈 Side note- i love her.

 What else needs changing? ⬇️

Feel this? ⬆️ Share if you do. ❤️ You kno Feel this? ⬆️ Share if you do. ❤️

You know what drains a kid's emotional cup - being overscheduled. We've lived it and I'm here to say it's SO MUCH BETTER on the other side.

📍Last year, our goal was to give our oldest (now 8) every opportunity to try things to figure out what he loved. His schedule was packed with activities (I realize this is a privileged point). We were running - sometimes literally - from school to activity every night of the week and on weekends.

📍Fast-forward to this year - he has so much more time to just be a kid and we're all happier! He's picked a couple of things he's passionate about, but we've cut so much out and now most of our after-school time is open. Maybe we'll run an errand, maybe we'll come home and hang out, maybe we'll play at the park with friends and get ice cream. 

✨️ If one day he decides he wants to pour more time into one of his passions - we support that, but for now this is it and it's awesome! 

➡️ Have you lived this? How do you balance wanting to expose your kid to different activities so they find what they love with wanting your kids to just be a kid? Share below.

this video ⬆️ is from @fairmontjpl's Lac Beauvert. On every summer visit, Wyatt and I have a tradition of renting a kayak from The Boathouse and cruising the lake.
