Let's Look: Favorite #OOTD

in , by Gavin and Kylie Plus 4, 4:00 AM
Happy Wednesday!!

I am linking up today for Let's Look---What's Your Favorite #OOTD with Shay and Erika! That's outfit of the day for anyone that hasn't caught onto that lingo yet.....to be honest, I had to Google it only a couple of months ago.  
We just got back some of our family pictures and while a particular 3 year old didn't cooperate very well, I did love our outfits so I thought I'd share those!  We actually did these pictures with Gavin's family so we coordinated pretty well with the big group.

We ended up planning the session pretty short notice so I felt a little limited on what I could find.  I turned to Old Navy thought and felt happy with what I was seeing.  I had found everything online at Old Navy but since the girls are in between sizes right now, I wanted to got to the store to actually see them.  When I got there, they didn't have anything I had originally picked out and our store has about zero toddler clothes so I had to dig.  I was also the crazy person laying everything out on the floor making sure I liked it together and sending pictures to my sister in laws to get their thoughts.
Treyton was also recovering from pneumonia so I feel like he looks a tad pale.  He was also uncooperative.  At one point, the 16 of us were lined up for a group shot and he was sitting four feet away in the grass.......  #why

I wore a simple gray dress.  You can't see it very well here but it is super comfy, and it will be a staple as my classroom warms up.  I wore my Toms Wedges that I adore.

Gavin wore the same jeans he has worn in every set of family pictures we've ever taken. ;-)  I also picked him up a navy button up that had "polka dots all over it".  He looked wonderful although I'm not sure he will choose to wear it often.
This was about as good as we got with the three of them.  It was also super windy and did a number on their fine hair.

Taylor had a super cute chambray dress on and brown sandals.
Trynlee has my favorite piece on--a striped romper.  I wish I could find one in my size.  She had the same brown sandals as Tay.
Treyton wore shorts from Target.  They're the Cat and Jack brand.  His shirt is old but I'm fairly certain it is from Carters, and his shoes are Toms.

I wasn't able to find either of the girls' outfits online any longer unfortunately!

I love when outfits pull together like this.  I may have to take them back out and see if I can get some smiles for Christmas cards.

Let's Look--Our Pantry

in , , by Gavin and Kylie Plus 4, 4:30 AM
Today, I am linking up with a couple of my favorite bloggers, Shay at Mix and Match Mama and Erika at A Little Bit Of Everything.  Each month, they take a look at some thing special.  I will add their monthly list at the bottom of this blog post.
 This month---YOUR PANTRY!

So--COME ON IN--and take a look at our pantry!

When we were designing our house, I will admit that our pantry was one space that we didn't totally agree on.  Not necessarily the shape or space, but rather the door into our pantry.  Gavin had always wanted a "hidden" pantry, one that just looks like a cabinet in the kitchen.  I, on the other hand, wanted a rustic door that was part glass or even some type of barn door.  

I lost that decision.

And I couldn't be happier that I lost.  (Gavin rarely reads this--I'd never admit this to him! ;-) Lol!)

There is a reason that he is a general contractor, that works with home owners designing their houses, every day, and I am an elementary teacher. ;-)

See those two "cabinet doors" to the left of our fridge?  
That is actually our pantry!
When you open them both up, this is what you see!  We have a standing deep freeze in there, and it has been wonderful.  Instead of having to run to the basement or out to the garage, all of our frozen stuff is right there!
I have a very love hate relationship with this space.  It holds A LOT, which I am SUPER grateful for.  It however can be the catch all for anything that needs to be hidden or I can't find a space for.
I typically store all of our canned goods down on the open drawers below but this is seriously the girls' FAVORITE place to play.  Those cans were their favorite thing to carry around, and after Trynlee dropped one on her toe, they have all been moved.
 I really want to visit the Container store and come up with some better organization on all of the shelves and drawers but it all works for now.
The drawers were once very organized and everything had its place, but Taylor and Trynlee pull just about every thing out of the drawers every single night and then put it all back on their own.  I'm thankful that they put it all back for the most part and have just decided to let the neatly organized drawers go.  They do however always keep their snacks on that bottom left drawer! Ha!
 Our Dyson Stick hangs right inside the doors in its charger.  That thing is quite possibly my favorite household item.  It you don't have one, you should.  And if you need a gift for someone special in your life, click HERE!
 As I was taking pictures, Taylor found where I stored all of the plastic grocery bags and it quickly turned into a mess.
 I could take a picture like this almost nightly.  They all play in there.  Shut themselves or each other in. Giggle.  It's easy entertainment and makes getting supper started just a little bit easier each night.
 The bag situation quickly turned out of control.  And made me realize once again that I need to buy reusable bags.
 Treyton then carried the little trash can (just where I keep shoving them) out to the living room where they continued to pull them out and then put them back in.
 One of my absolute favorite things about our pantry, though, is that I can shut the doors whether is it neatly organized or not and for the most part, no one ever sees it!
There you have it!  

A peek inside our pantry!  If you have any great organizing hacks, please let me know!!

Next month will be about your favorite Outfit Of The Day if you'd like to join!
