Legacy Learning Academy

Legacy Learning Academy

I recently came across Legacy Learning Academy's products and instantly fell in love. Everything is handcrafted and very well made. Having taught kindergarten, I understand the importance of hands-on learning experiences and how much of an impact they can make. The shop owner is wonderful to work with and was once an educator herself. The shop itself is on Etsy and is broken down into age categories which makes it so easy to find the perfect gift for a child of any age, even infants! I decided to go with the blocks and scarves as our first products to try out. One of the main reasons I love these items so much is that the colors are all custom to what you want. The shop offers blocks in pastels, neon and metallic colors. The blocks pictured above are light pink, white and silver. The hand kites pictured above, are so much fun as well. Just like the blocks, the colors are custom to your preference. I went with pastel colors because when Hadley is not playing with them I hang them in her room as a decoration. Everything from the Legacy Learning Academy shop would be perfect as an Easter gift! So next time you are looking for that perfect gift, why not give the gift of learning? If you are interested in checking them out you can find them on Instagram and Facebook. Link to their shop is below. As always thanks for reading my blog, happy Sunday!

Happy Half Birthday Sweet Girl!

Oh my goodness how has it been six months already since I had you?! The time we've spent together has gone by so fast and I wouldn't trade one second of it for anything. When I found that I was pregnant I was so excited for these times that were now having together. Everything is more exciting and fun than I could have even imagined.

This was my favorite photo shoot by far! Everything was bright and colorful. The one piece that Hadley wore was from Gap and it was part of their Disney line. It's hard to see but Dumbo is on it as well as some colorful banners. I came across a lot of the Dumbo dresses and tops that were adorable but not very functional for a sixth month old, especially one that rolls around constantly. The tutu I found I amazon, I couldn't even tell you the brand. I simply just typed in the search bar baby tutu and it was one of the first ones to come up. The tassel banner hanging on the wall was from target in the dollar isle, (seriously love that isle!) Hadley's party hat that read 1/2 is from a boutique on Etsy called Little Blue Olive. They have the cutest party hats around! If you remember Hadley's crown she wore on New Year's Eve, it was from the same store. Lastly, and most importantly, the cake. I made it from home, as I'm sure you can tell. I'm not the best icing cakes LOL but it tasted so good! The mix is from Foodstirs, I recently came across their products online and fell in love. I can't tell you how many times I have found myself in the baking isle of the grocery store looking for all the ingredients to make an organic cake. It takes a lot of time and money to bake with organic ingredients in my opinion. This is why I fell in love with their products, they have already packaged up the ingredients that are sometimes hard to find and they ship them right to your door. Typically the only ingredients that you will need to buy ahead of time are things like eggs, milk and yogurt. For this cake mix, it called for yogurt so I decided to use blueberry yogurt and I am so glad I did. It turned out really well, my husband approved too! Overall, this was the happiest half birthday ever for this sweet girl!
