7 days of overheating and shedding some of these layers by 10 am, but here we go!! A week worth of Fall outfits using only 3 “rules.” I left one off the feed because I hated it, but otherwise a success. Got a fave or a 🙅🏼‍♀️🙅🏼‍♀️🙅🏼‍♀️?

The Frame kids are officially all back in school and MY OH MY – I had forgotten what it feels like to have a clean house AND quality time for each of them and… myself?? 🎉 Haven’t picked up a book all summer!

@disneybooks is a longtime partner of mine and they sent over some amazing books to help us get ready for the new school year! #ad We got to snag a copy of The Pigeon HAS to Go to School! by Mo Willems — he’s our favorite!! This book follows Pigeon as he faces one of kids’ biggest fears – the unknown.😏

We Don’t Eat Our Classmates by Ryan T. Higgins is also up there for this back-to-school season. It explores school anxiety in a fresh, funny way, making it perfect for nervous new students!

You can snag both of these #BacktoSchoolHyperionBooks via the links in my stories. I also shared what I’M reading lately! What are you all reading? Your recommendations for me and the kids are always so good!! 🤟🏼

And for the most niche post of all time — a tribute to my Gerry Durrell summer. I know I got a few of you hooked, anyone else love the Durrells a little too much? 🥺🇬🇷What can I watch next that will fill me with the same joy?⁣

Watch the “Durrells in Corfu” series on Amazon Prime!

When we moved a few years ago, our biggest design

When we moved a few years ago, our biggest design flaw was separating Hayes and his best friend August. I thought Hayes would get used to the distance over time, but then as we started to talk about his first year of Middle School this year, he broke down in tears. “I just wish August could go with me.” It broke my heart. August has always been Hayes’ person. He brings him out of his shell, but still makes him feel safe and loved. He is accepted for exactly who he is when he is with August. As a mom that makes August a superhero in my eyes. ⁣
⁣
We are devastated that Gus has been diagnosed with Leukemia (Acute Myeloid) this week. I can’t even type this without sobbing. Any fears or worries about Middle School have been replaced with 100 questions about platelets and procedures and visiting hours. As we walked the school halls finding the best routes for Hayes’ schedule, I asked if he was still nervous. “Not sure. But who cares, let’s go see Gus.” Hayes’ new schedule of learning to pray and fast fervently, of supporting his friend from FaceTime, of finding faith in a God we don’t understand right now. These are his lessons now.⁣

How many times can a heart shatter? I am so angry. This bright, beautiful, happy, kind soul has a long, hard, grueling fight ahead of him. The odds are in his favor gratefully, but I would still switch positions with him in a heartbeat. I don’t want him to have one day of this pain. These people are the family we choose, each one of them hurting + fighting. With Covid ramping back up, the hospital restrictions are tight (just two unchanging visitors for the entirety of his treatment plan) and the weight that his parents carry is even heavier than we had hoped. ⁣
⁣
I am sharing this because I know so many of you love them like I do, there is nothing I wouldn’t do for them and this post is the smallest, most feeble start to our #fight4gus. If you are looking for a way to help or support — and let me me say with confidence, doing this twice now this year, even $1 is accepted with gratitude— I’ll put the info in a highlight on my stories. You can follow along with his updates @fight4gus on Instagram or Facebook. 🤟🏼🤟🏼

Happy birthday, Coll! ♡ ⁣
I had big plans to take the boys fishing, prepay for 50 snowcones at the pool, outrageously tip at lemonade stands, pet all the puppers, take every joke just a little🤏🏼too far, drop UNO decks on restaurant tables where everyone’s on their phone🥴, sing like an idiot and put my finger in my ear like I’m in a recording studio for the high notes, honk and harmonize through every tunnel. Get way too hyped over mediocre food just to make everyone feel good. Finding someone in every crowd and making them feel loved. 8 second hugs for all. But instead, I’m in quarantine.🥴 Ah life, you’ve always got other plans. ⁣
⁣
I hope someone up there ⛅️ got you Cherry Chip cake with Funfetti frosting, or I’m filing a formal complaint. Miss you every single day. 282 of them. 🤟🏼😭🤟🏼

(Turning off the comments for this, I don’t want you wasting one minute on me — go give your people an 8 second squeeze. 😘😘) #lovelikecollin
