Summer Practice and My NEW Addition! - Queen of the First Grade Jungle

Summer Practice and My NEW Addition!

Hi I am here!!! If you can hold on two seconds I will have loads of baby pictures for you!

Last year I sent home these activity books for my kids to practice over the summer! Their parents raved about them and I love knowing my kids were prepared for 3rd grade without the summer slide!


You can find these products and their descriptions by clicking on the covers below!








If you follow me on either of my instagram accounts (queenof1stjungle or kking_fit_mommy) then you are very well aware of my new arrival!

Charles "Smith" King
8 lbs 9 oz 22 inches long
May 20th

I cannot even believe he has only been here 12 days. I don't remember what life was like before him.  Partly because 99% of the day revolves around feeding, changing, cuddling, dressing, or generally taking care of this little guy.  But the biggest reason is that we truly feel he has completed our family. 


This was my 3rd c-section and the recovery has been by far the best.  


Big sister Emmie takes every opportunity to be with him.  She likes to "keep a sharp eye on him" as she calls it! She sings to him, aides in changing diapers, and runs all kinds of errands all over the house for us. 


Nash loves to read to Smith, give him kisses, and already promises to teach him the ways of the world!


This man here.  I could not ask for a better father and husband.  He has literally done EVERYTHING I have needed him to do the last two weeks.  He has chauffeured kids, monitored baths, taken on all puppy responsibilities, and been my right hand since Smith arrived. 


In true beach family fashion, we have already introduced Smith to the beach! He absolutely loves being outside.  We do have to go super early because of the heat.  Later in the summer we will attempt an actual family outing with boogie boards, towels, and food, but for now- I am only brave enough for a walk!


Smith and I LOVE walking through our neighborhood too.  We have a 2 1/2 mile loop and we take advantage of that path at least once a day, sometimes twice a day if I feel that i have the energy for it!


As a mommy of three, I quickly learned the other two still have busy schedules to keep. So so lucky for us, Smith is super easy going and already completed a 4 hour stint at the ballpark for t-ball and machine pitch!

And last, but not least I will leave you will one of my favorite pictures from the last two weeks.  Saturday morning I had a good friend come take newborn/sibling pictures.  This is just a sneak peek of what is to come! I can't wait to see the rest!

  5. He is so precious!! Congrats on your new bundle, and I'm so impressed that you're already out walking 2 1/2 miles. Weather has not been my friend up here (either way too hot or rainy), but I hope to start walking more until I'm cleared for the gym.

    Don't Let the Teacher Stay Up Late
