Hi, my name is Lynne!

I am a former teacher

and now a stay-at-home mom to my two beautiful children.

I’m also own a small business,

{Lavish Lulu}!

Growing up, my mom kept my hair short…

the “Dorothy Hammel,”

and I always envied my friends with long hair.

I swore my daughter

{if blessed with one},

would have long, beautiful hair!

I have been having fun experimenting with her hair,

and I have been asked to share one of our favorites with you!

One of my daughter’s favorite hairstyles to wear to school and dance is the

“Bow Bun!”

Happy Weekend!

For this edition of {Weekend} Lovelies,

I thought I would create our Lovelies based on a need in my home.

I am a guilty Mama of constantly doing EVERYTHING for my kids.

Shoe tying, dressing, teeth brushing,

all while trying to get out the door on time.

It is time to rise to the occasion to the fact that Mason and Madeline

are old enough to be doing most of these

responsibilities on their own.

If I don’t make a change, I am doomed……

or their wife and husband will be………

 

 

{Organize your your home>><< Tidy Mom}

If Mama is not organized then how can I expect the kids to listen.

Having items labeled and put away in a tidy manner

can help the kids to identify their placement

as well as it allows others {such as husbands} to help. 

Creating more “Family Time” and less yelling…..

Tips to organize your home

Happy Birthday, Miss Blue!

 Happy 5th Birthday, Miss Blue!

>>>>>><<<<<<

Before we get started on this trot down memory lane, can I just say that normally my motto is that “simple is best”…. well clearly, I had a really hard time narrowing down my photo choices! Bear with me! Sophia is my only girl… and she turns 5 tomorrow…. 5! I’m still in a state of disbelief that she could really be that old…. I realize it’s all relative, but I honestly still think of her as a baby… my baby girl.

We thought we would kick off this Monday

with a motivational guest post from our friend

Angela Kraber.

as a fitness expert she also understands their bodies.

she rekindled her passion for running and eventually started

her own running club and fitness program, Moms On The Run Fitness.

 Angela also has an active personal training roster

with a focus on empowerment and accountability.

She is a member of IDEA, an ACE Certified Personal Trainer,

a Stroller Strides franchisee-owner,

It’s time to get back on track, no excuses!
