Midlife Mom Approved

Homecoming Week at Aquinas is officially a wrap! 💚💛🍀

Madison had SO much fun going all out every single day — Anything But a Backpack + Crazy Hair, Tacky Prom, Born in the USA 🇺🇸, Decades, and finishing it off with Luck of the Irish! 🍀 She absolutely LOVES Homecoming Week, and I love seeing how much fun she has with it. 🥰

Such a fun week and so many great memories! 💚💛

These kids have no idea how easy they have it. 😂

They can find out everything they need to know without leaving the couch.

We had to borrow a friend’s car so ours wouldn’t be recognized, throw on a wig, and actually leave the HOUSE. 🤣🚗🕵️‍♀️

No location sharing. No Instagram stories. No Snap Map.

Just determination, a full tank of gas, and absolutely questionable decision-making. 😂

We walked so these kids could stalk from their bedrooms. 💀

Team manager: responsible for getting ALL the things done. ✅

Also team manager: waiting on the information needed to actually get ALL the things done. 😂🤦🏼‍♀️

Ahhh… so THAT’S why the vodka is included. 🍸🤣

All jokes aside, I love doing it for these girls. They make the chaos totally worth it. 💙⚽️

Might be short on sleep, but never short on memories. ⚽️💙😂

Soccer season has me tired 24/7… but I wouldn’t trade these weekends for anything. 🥹

Seriously… my brain can still remember phone numbers from 30 years ago, but the word spoon? Nope. Gone. 😂🤦🏼‍♀️

Seems like we could clear out some of that old storage and make room for the words I ACTUALLY NEED. 🫠

So I googled tacky prom dresses looking for ideas for Madi… BIG mistake. 😂

Why am I looking at these thinking… wait a minute. I WORE THAT. 😳😂

Then I pulled out my actual prom dresses and apparently I didn’t even need Google. I’ve had “tacky prom” covered for 30+ years. 💀

Nothing like finding out your actual prom dress is now considered a costume. 😂🤦‍♀️
