Hello, Iowa!

This past September, we took our annual late summer/early fall trip to visit family & friends in Iowa.  It was Bo's first trip & most importantly, out first trip from our new home (an extra 2 hours away). I decided the best way to keep the girls busy was to make up a 'busy bag' for each of them.  It worked & we made it late evening.  We had the best trip & cannot thank grandma & grandpa enough for having us!

Busy bags for Sadie (Bug) & ZoZo (snack containers via Homesense).

Hello, Iowa! Busch Light & this view forever!

Chalk fun with grandpa on the deck, after playdough fun with gramma!

The perfect end-of-summer bag (via Anthropologie).

A last-minute party meant we could make it, I love when that happens! I miss out on so much being so far away!

I got these to go with three summer dresses & they are perfect (amazon).

This dress, so great for the end of summer (via Amazon).  Worn for a quick lunch with my bff!

Gma & Gpa surprised the grandkids with this fun remote control jeep! We could hardly get them out of it!

Could not, not get this ice cream tee (via J.Crew).

Ice cream tee, cardi, & slides (all via J.Crew) & a 6-pack over to a friends!

Got the girls new goggles, only for it to be too chilly to swim (via Anthropologie & J.Crew).

An early Xmas present for the girls was put to great use!

These two had the best morning at the museum learning all kinds of things & just being kids :)

First Hawkeye football game of the season, so special to be in Iowa for it :)

Tried these wines from Target & there are no complaints, these are so good & only $5/bottle!!!
