little style: FamLove Clothing

.

    Okay, so I'm secretly obsessed with Valentine's Day. I'm not really a huge holiday person honestly but it gets me every year when stores start filling up with all the cute heart things. As if the Target dollar spot could even get any more tempting!

.

    FamLove Clothing sent us this adorable tee shirt and it's absolutely perfect for Asher to wear this year for Valentine's Day! I love that it has the sign language sign for "I love you." We taught both of our boys some sign language when they were babies and the "I love you" sign has lasted all of these years and they still use it to this day. FamLove is a family owned brand run by 3 cousins whose mission is to spread positivity and love through trendy clothes! Their shirts are super soft and high quality and of course absolutely adorable.

FabKids // november picks!

.

I'm finally getting up my pictures from our November FabKids picks! Time is going by super fast and I can't believe that we are half way through December already, eek! As usual, I'm super happy with the adorable outfits we picked this month. Asher was over the moon about this t-rex shirt; he loves dinosaurs and the football tee was perfect for my little sports obsessed 8 year old. 

( Yes, I said 8 year old, can you even believe it!? )

.

The boys each received a pair of high top sneakers with their outfits this month and oh my goodness, I just can't even, they are too cute for words. Be sure to check out FabKids, a subscription clothing company for kids, for yourself.

FabKids // october picks.

.

FabKids sent us these ridiculously adorable outfits in October and here are my favorite things about them:

- matchy-match pirate hoodie tees! the boys were SO excited to get these and matching outfits just have to happen sometimes.

- asher's tiny red chino pants, i mean really: so. freaking. adorable.

- these FabKids cargo pants are the best fitting pants that i have found for roman this year so i was really happy to get him another pair!

- these pictures! that top picture of roman just personifies his sweetness and i love the happiness of asher twirling in the leaves. i had a difficult time editing some of these photos because of the crazy color cast from all the leaves, but those last few pictures of my boys together ... sigh. <3

Space Scouts!

I was so excited when Space Scouts offered to send my boys a package and host a giveaway on my blog!

.

You all already know how much fun I've had working with the clothing subscription company FabKids on my blog so I was really excited for my boys to be able to try out Space Scouts, a monthly subscription program based around space + science activities! I am pretty in love with the "subscription box" idea; there is just something SO fun and exciting about getting mail.

Space Scouts sent us 2 of their monthly packages to try out! The recommended age for Space Scouts is 6+ (they also offer Animal Trackers for children ages 3+ which is equally adorable) but Asher certainly had a lot of fun diving into the packages with Roman. I'd say that a few of the activities included in Space Scouts could definitely be done with children ages 3 and up while some are a little more advanced so it is a good mix. The first month's package was all wrapped up inside of an adorable tin lunch box and included different learning activities as well as a poster of the solar system and a "constellation collection startup set". Each month that follows builds upon this set and every month includes a magnet to add to the lunchbox, a sticker to add to the solar system poster, multiple learning activities, a souvenir toy that coordinates with the activities and a constellation card to add to the collection. Roman and Asher were pretty excited to open up their second month package and find all sorts of goodies to add to their collection!(I tried to photograph what came in each box but I just realized that I included the "robotic claw" toy in each photo, oops! It came in the second month's package!)

.

We had so much fun getting a chance to try out Space Scouts! I loved the variety of activities that was included with each package. It was a perfect amount of learning mixed with fun and it kept both of my boys occupied all afternoon. Roman especially enjoyed the "sticker scrambles" which are these really neat little sticker puzzles! I am really impressed with how well thought out this subscription service is and think it would be a unique and fun gift from grandparents, an excellent supplement to homeschool or just something to look forward to each month with your children!

.

Now, be sure to enter the giveaway to win your own 3-month subscription to Space Scouts! EEK! What do you all think of Space Scouts? Have you tried out any "subscription box" companies with your kids? Thanks for reading!

a boy + his dog.

.

oh these pictures! they make me so happy. i took these at the beginning of our last FabKids shoot, before asher would give in and put his new sweatshirt on.
.
the dreamy golden sunshine and this filled to the brim with joy little guy and his dalmation who happens to match his outfit ...  perfection.

.

sidenote, this little red shirt is making an appearance a LOT on the blog lately. partly because some of these photos were taken on the same day and sprinkled into separate posts. partly because, it's awesome.

.

happy thoughts.

Just some random happy thoughts / happy photos of life around here lately:

.

 Asher and his "babies".  It started a while ago with his "baby tiger" and he has now taken a liking to "dragon" who he always tells me "Coffee" gave him. ( Grandma Kathi. ) Asher has such a sweet and tender heart under his wild ways. I love seeing it shine.

.

This picture just cracks me up and is so absolutely ridiculously nonsensical : Asher eating a grilled cheese at the gas pump.

.

This was an out-take of Asher swinging at the park that I came across and loved from a photography project I was working on for a class.

.

Oh my gosh - this squirrel! I was taking pictures at the park while my boys were playing and this squirrel let me get unusually close. After I took this photo, he actually started climbing down towards me. I slowly backed away and he was just inching closer and closer and even followed me as I walked away! A few minutes later I walked back and fed him some of my cashews. So weird...

.I love these photos that I snapped of my boys while we were doing our latest FabKids photo shoot. This is right in front of our house and I like how you can see part of the foothills that are right in our backyard!

.

Oh just another swinging photo! Loving these skinny jeans, shoes + socks. I bought Asher some new socks at my work last week and I got double of each pair because we can NEVER find matching socks around here. 

.

and okay, here is my obligatory fall photo. Truly I'm handling fall pretty well right now since Colorado decided to shape up and we've been having wonderful warm days everyday! Leaves falling while wearing tank tops is certainly weather that I can handle.

FabKids // september picks.

.

I don't realize how fast the month is going by until I get an email saying that the new FabKids outfits are reading to pick from and I almost always haven't even photographed and shared my boys in their outfits from the previous month!

.

This month Roman knew right away that he wanted to choose this outfit with the flannel shirt. I definitely didn't have this outfit in mind for him because I figured that a long sleeved teeshirt would get a lot more use. However, he really insisted that he wanted this shirt and Aaron and I thought it was pretty darn cute. :) His "Mr. Cool" shirt underneath is from a FabKids outfit he chose a few months back that I don't think I ever got a chance to share! I'm really happy with this outfit and the biggest reason is that the pants FIT him. I have had the hardest time finding pants for Roman this season! He is growing like a weed and when we went pants shopping at Old Navy and Target I had the boy try on every style pants available with no luck. I'm normally not a huge cargo pants fan but these FabKids pants fit him and it's a miracle! I love the rich brown color as well.

.

.

I was really excited to get these black skinny jeans for Asher this month. Last month I picked skinny jeans for Asher and I am in love with them! They are absolutely adorable and he wears them ALL the time! I love that the waistbands on FabKids pants are adjustable and it has benefited both of my boys. Asher is a little skinny scarecrow and even though these pants are only a size 2 I have to pull the waist as tight as it will go! I'm really excited to have a new pair of these skinny jeans for him and I love the Rock Legend sweatshirt as well! I'm slowly trying to transition Asher to the next size so I got a size 3 in this sweatshirt but it's a little roomy. :)
