I just wanted to be selfish for a bit and tell you all about my first day of 'back to school'........
i mean....this blog isn't called "the Buick family " blog......so i have all right to talk about my day right?!
good.
then let's proceed.
I did sneak in just one photo for you......
I wanted to take some time out and tell you about a special group of girls.......that get together one day every year.
I actually voted that this group get together every month.....so i'll let you know how that goes....
but when this group of girls gets together.....
we all put on our lovely orange ribbons....
super fancy...i know......and if you want one....just convo me.....i'll see what i can do for you.Anyways....this group of girls.....
well.....
we're not really girls anymore....we are ladies....we are mom's...
dangit....we are girls.
... some of us show up at this meeting with bags under our eye's....
some still with some toddlers in tow.....
i'm not going to mention any names....but some show up with toilet paper clinging to their shoe.....
and some show up an hour early.....waiting at the front door.....
..for the annual......"Mimosa's for mom's " ......
This group doesn't just rely on mimosa's.......there are plenty of fresh baked chocolate croissants from Trader Joe's...{have i told you how fabulous these are....and so not fattening....i promise.....}
this society wears their orange ribbon with pride......
and we do a lot for our community.....
well.....some of us do a lot for our community....
actually.....i can only think of one...and that's me......
and i'll let you know what i do......soon....
This group of "mimosa's for moms"....
we are about 18 in number....
and let me know if you want an application......we are a pretty lenient group....
but sorry....we are not taking "dad's" at the moment.....
well......
actually...we need one "dad"......
to help with the clean up crew.
and we believe in a healthy....beautiful .......love filled ....life.. for all.

The orange ribbons are lovely and the mimosas look pretty darn good too!
Ya'll are beaming! Was this RIGHT after the kids went off to school...or toward the end of the party? Hee hee.

ps My mom passes a Trader Joe's on her way to work...I'm placing my chocolate croissant order right now!!!
Oh that so looks like fun, you all look so gorgeous.
xoxo
Oh...how I wish I lived near you! Lola looks adorable with her hairclip! Have a wonderful week.

I'm not into clubs, but this is definitely one that I'd like to join. I would just have to slip out of work for an hour or so to join you, but no problem, I've got a pager. Unfortunately, there's just one minor problem -I don't even live in the same country :-o
what a great idea!!! friends are the greatest. 18 tipsy ladies by lunchtime - my kind of friends!!
Can I move closer so I can come? Looks like fun!
What a fun idea!
I think that it's great when you all get together....hopefully you'll still be doing it when the children are grown up.....and you look as if you're all having a great time. XXXX
I can't believe I missed my flight! :) I should popped my own cork at the same time you girls were and toasted you all from a far!
xo,
LuLu
you know i'm working on my jealousy issues
seriously.what a fabulous idea!!
ya'll couldn't be any cuter

Who's the pregnant girl in the back, the tall one?
What fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Super fun!!! You always crack me up and make my mornings :)
This tradition of yours makes my heart sing. The simple ways that women find to celebrate their lives is always so inspiring. I love your orange ribbons, they are fabulous!
Well, not that I'm in a rush for Ash to grow up, but you've given me a fabulous idea for later...when I'm assuming I must somehow acquire friends who are mom's. :)
For now I'll just find an orange ribbon, wear it, and tell everyone I'm drinking mimosas for a good cause. :)
Sweet! and Fun! Definitely a monthly thing is in order :) Are you getting my return emails?
Oh that looks like a great way to celebrate the start of school! Once a month seems perfectly reasonable.....Can you believe I still have 2 weeks till I can have my own celebration??? It is killing me!
How fun! I would love to have 18 women get together at my house! I keep voting for a girl's slumber party at my house and it WILL happen at some point this fall I swear!
I love the pictures! You are so pretty Kasey! Your children are just adorable!
Looks like a ball! I'll be there next year;)
I need a group like this! Sounds great, and I could use a mimosa too! Thanks for the sweet comment on my blog. I adore your blog too Kasey and love your shop! Wish I lived closer so I could make it to the open house! Looking forward to your online shop reopening! Have a lovely day!
Such a great idea, and mom's always deserve a fun break. Oh, and love the little orange ribbons. Can we borrow your idea and start our own local chapters?
What a fabulous idea! How fun to get together to celebrate the return of the beloved schedule~

Okay I'm jealous. What a fun idea! :) Cute bts pic of the kids.

What a great way to start off the school year:) Looks like a fun group! And the kiddos look pretty darn cute:)
Oh I love this idea!! Thanks for sharing!!
Leave it to Kasey to have a MOMOSA party... You are a riot girl. I love Trader Joes anything their deserts are fabulous... I hope you had a blast. may your day be filled with JOY!

What a way to celebrate your re-found freedom! Everyone is so pretty!
Your kids look adorable for school! I bet they are totallly popular.
Ahhhh...you put a smile on my face today...so lovely you have each other...your sweet children look totally adorable on the first day back....I love first day photos! Thanks for sharing your moms get together!
Whatever...my invite must have been lost in the mail....looks like I missed a good party! xo
OH, i see my spot right in the back - i'm so sorry to have missed it....I'm sure you'll start seeing mimosa mommy parties popping up across the country. It is such an amazing way to celebrate another school year!
such beautiful friends you have....!
xoxo
hi kasey, thank you so much for your comment today - it meant a lot to me (the journal is my new venture and it's more difficult than just blogging other people's photo)
looks like you had great fun!
For sure an occasion to celebrate!! Everyone looks very happy to have the kids back to school!
Thought I just commented but I guess I clicked it off...sorry if I end up having 2:) Thanks for sharing a wonderful day...your kiddos look so very cute on their first day of school! What a wonderful mom's morning ~ thank you for sharing!
Sounds like a fun group a ladies! I want in! Im sending an email your way~
It was a fun morning, darling! Thanks for having us over. THe little dude loved it too!
Oh Kasey am I too old for at least a "virtual" orange ribbon? :)
Maybe those of us new to the emptynester group need to wear black for mourning or perhaps red to celebrate...I am still waivering! Anyways you are so blessed with such beautiful friends and the most gorgeous children. Mason might not like it that I called him gorgeous but it is truth!
Okay, I had a back-to-school coffee: How boring. Next year, it's going to be a mimosa party! I may have to do a after-winter-break mimosa party. Fun!!
What a beautiful group of women...all with warm, wonderful smiles.
xo

Let me put in my application for next year...Shea will be in 1st grade :(
Looks like a great time...I did it last year and it was just so funny to hear everyones story.
Fun!
Janet
When I was teaching, we did this too, at the END of the year. Now that I'm home, I think the beginning of the year is just perfect. Well done.
This is so cool ! I love the ribbons!
