These girls are squeezing in one last play date before school starts on Monday. They aren’t in the same class this year which has been breaking ALL of our hearts ????, but we are dedicated to keeping them connected and nurturing this beautiful friendship. Disappointment is certainly a big part of life, and as my hubby [...]
As we are heading into a new school year, I know we can let ourselves worry about what reading level our kids are on, did they finish their math homework, did they brush their teeth this morning? Or their hair????? But I truly believe the greatest thing we can teach our kids is to BE KIND. [...]
We are HOME!!!! Two weeks away is a long time! On several occasions while we were gone Ruby would get sad and say, "I miss Ms. Chapita" and then she would follow with "and Nanners and Biscuit." ???? But even though she is the grumpiest with the stinkiest breath, the girls REALLY missed Chapita ???? It was a happy [...]
Sad to be leaving Michigan tomorrow but so happy to be heading back to the home and life we love so much!! And I cannot believe in just TWO WEEKS I will have a SECOND and FOURTH grader?!? Where did the summer go!? #theluckyfew #lifewithrubydoobs #rubysrainbow #ellamaeisthecoolest#puremichigan ???? Tom Arehart ???? More photos here :)
My hubby and I met in San Diego 14 years ago and it has been so fun taking the girls to do all the things we loved. Beach Cruisin’ was my happy place, so to have these lil ladies riding alongside me took it up to a whole other level of happy❤️❤️ I can’t wait to [...]
Ummm... these girls were made for the beach (????)!! So much fun today and Ella Mae stood up on a surfboard today for the first time!! There’s just something about the smell and vibe of the ocean that is so revitalizing and calming at the same time. Thank you beach! I needed you today!! #sandiego #beachbums #lifewithrubydoobs #ellamaeisthecoolest#theluckyfew
My favorite day of the year. The day so many of our friends, family and the community come out and make us feel so loved. The Rockin' RainBOWL has exceeded my every expectation, just like the little girl who inspired it all. We had a goal of $35k, with my inner "Unicorn Goal" of $40k...and [...]
Ella Mae has been working on this book all year in class during her free time. It wasn’t for a grade or anything, just something she felt inspired to do. I knew she was working on “something” and her teacher kept telling me how amazing it was but I wasn’t allowed to read it until [...]
I knew I always wanted to be a mama, but never in my wildest dreams could I have dreamt up two more perfect lil’ ladies. I certainly do not take this job lightly and am learning to give myself grace on the hard days when I feel like I am not being the best mama [...]
Honestly, I couldn’t love these two more. ❤ Happy Friday, peeps!!! #lifewithrubydoobs #luckymama#ellamaeisthecoolest #sisterlove#downsyndromerocks #rubysrainbow
