Hi everyone!
Happy Friday! I don't know about y'all, but this week seemed to fly by! I can't believe it is already Memorial Day, the unofficial kick-off of summer. I have tons of great content to share with you this week, as well as a few new features... content first!
As promised, Financially Savvy Friday returned last week with

Tuesday we shared BIG personal news... we found out M3 is going to be A BOY!!! No one is more shocked than we are. See how we made the big reveal to family and friends on
M3's Gender Reveal. What do you think of our fun new videos?!?
Thursday I hosted my first every blog hop,
Tour the World by Flower, featuring 25 flower crafts for kids from bloggers around the world. It was so much fun to see all the different posts, from as far as Australia and India, featuring all different media and methods for crafting their flowers, with kids of all ages! I also contributed a flower craft, representing
the state of Connecticut with the Mountain Laurel. See how the Ms and I did it with egg cartons, a little paint, some glue and pipe cleaners.
