It's August Ya'll - and my first store coupon!

First and foremost, I noticed I have some new followers. I would love to email each of you separately to welcome you - but Blogger won't let me see who you are! So, instead let me just say:

And to those of you who have been with me for a while (and you guys know who you are), let me just say a big THANK YOU for taking the time to read and comment and to really get to know me and become some of my favorite friends!!!

A lot is going on here and I'm excited today is the first day of August! For one, we are all officially under one roof now. I'm wondering if I should change the name of my blog to 4 Kids+3 Dogs+2 Exhausted Parents! But really, we are all in a slight adjustment period and we are all going to have to make some changes (me included), but I think after our family meeting this week, the expectations will be set and we will all be on the same page.

I'm also excited that it's August because that means that school starts!! I'm excited for the kids to get back to school because that means a little more order and structure and schedule in the house (and believe me, those are the things that keep me sane and make me happy)! I have to share this clip that my buddy Earl Leigh sent me earlier - it totally sums up my feelings:

I have some fun projects I'm hoping to start for this month and share with you! I'm also (fingers crossed) going back to a 'real job' starting part-time next week! Which I'm stoked about because as much as I love being home - I love having money in the bank as well!

And last, but not least, I'm sharing a fun coupon code to celebrate all the big happenings of August! Please stop by my shop Elf House Delights and use Coupon Code BACKTOSCHOOL to receive 15% off anything in my shop! I would love to make my first sell this month to go along with all the other amazing things going on!

Hope everyone has a fabulous Monday and week! What new and fun is going on in your life?

Lots of Love...
