Tonight was installation night for the boaard members of my twins club.
I’m president again this year – and I have another group of kick-butt ladies who I get to work with! I’m excited for the up-coming year 🙂

Sorry, this giveaway is now closed.
Seriously – I get to give away mashed potatoes. How cool is that?! Betty Crocker – through MyBlogSpark – sent me a cool package that included instant mashed potatoes. But not just any ol’ mashed potatoes. Flavored mashed potatoes. Fully Loaded mashed potatoes! There’s also a measuring cup, a mixing bowl, a cool red scraper, and a potholder with a magnet in it.
The potatoes themselves were okay. I mean, they tasted pretty good, but I got out of the habit of cooking instant mashed potatoes, so the consistency threw me for a loop. They were incredibly easy to make…and Mike and I actually used the potatoes as a base for some other stuff we were cooking though, so it worked out really well.
As there’s always an official blurb provided, here it is:
With a taste that is just like homemade, new Betty Crocker “Loaded Mashed” potatoes are made with 100% real russet potatoes, and a blend of real seasonings and natural flavors like bacon, cheese, chives, and sour cream.
Add Betty Crocker flavored mashed potatoes to your favorite recipe for an ideal addition to any dinner-time dish. With nine tasty varieties to choose from, like Four Cheese and Sweet Potato, and a great value price, Betty Crocker flavored mashed potatoes are the perfect go-to side dish for your favorite meals.

Tonight marks the first night that Burke and Maggie will sleep in separate rooms (at least, the first I can remember…)
We finished painting Maggie’s PINK!! room (I have a few more spots to stencil, shhh!!) and I took all girly items out of her old room so Logan would feel more at home.
Up close of the stenciling
Logan and Burke seem to be enjoying the new Cars items in their room…and I think Logan’s going to really enjoy rooming with his big brother!

This month’s newsletter is all about the 101 things you want to do before the end of Summer. Feels strange to be thinking about the END of Summer, but it totally makes sense to create a list of things to do over the Summer!
A sample from the newsletter:
Like the movie The Bucket List and the book A Thousand Places to See Before You Die, lists like these can be a fun way to motivate you and your family to do things that might otherwise never make your “to-do” list. The beauty of these lists is that they give your family a chance to share dreams, express what they enjoy most, and encourage them to do things you all will remember for years to come.
I asked the kids what they wanted to do this Summer and they came up with a pretty good list. I’m sure we’ll be adding to it (and only a few of the “planned activities” for the Summer made it onto their list, so these might fit in nicely around those.)
There is more in the newsletter, so I encourage you to go check it out…and then make your own list!
