Favorite things

I am linking up with to share a few of my favorite things that help us get through summer.

Seems like all we do during the summer is make messes :) and play in the lake!

This soap is my absolute favorite for cleaning up little hands. They love the foam and smell and I love that I don't have to argue with anyone to wash their hands.

I usually pick up glitter glue at the dollar store and the kids go wild with it. It ends up everywhere!

We love Popsicles! This mold (ikea) has been great. The kids out everything in these. Our next recipe to try is the gummy bear and sprite ones. 

With all those days at the beach there are a ton of adorable photo ops. I really like using Instagram to catch them.

There you have it, a small mash up of things I couldn't do without during summer :) what are something you can't love without?

Fridays favorites

My absolute favorite thing this week was that I only had to work one day! Which meant a lot of lake time with the babes! And me turning into a crab (I misplaced my sunscreen). Totally worth it though!

We have started preparing for the first day of school. Purchasing supplies and clothes is the fun part :) I love shopping at The Childrens Place. They always have such good deals.

I also bought this adorable cookie cutter! I plan on using it for everything including sandwiches, fruit, cheese and meat, tortillas.... Endless possibilities!

I'm linking up with Andrea.
Enjoy your weekend!

July 4th

Our 4th was pretty quiet as I worked all weekend. #nurseslife I did snap a few pics though and joined the adults at the sandbar.

I don't know that I've ever seen the sandbar so packed. There were more people behind me even.

Thee most exciting part was my baby went on a jet ski ride!!!

Bryella is reminding me of brynna with the inability to look at the camera :) #thankgoodnessitsjustaphase ;)

Here is my 4th of July beauty queen! 

I hope everyone had a safe weekend! God bless our troops!

Favorite things

I am linking up with Erika and Andrea today for their monthly favorite things party. I love reading all the suggestions of the other linkers!

I was in bath and body works  a month ago looking for some new glitter spray for my daughter when I came across this smell., it's something we both agreed on. I love the smell and she loved the glitter!

I love this tank for the Fourth of July! I love that it's gold!

It would go so good with a pair of cut of shorts and this Headband!

I prefer the bottom one but they all look great!

I don't use much facial products but I've started using this and it works great!

Here

They have a trial size also.

Thanks for looking and have a great Monday!

Learning to drive!

We were at my aunts house celebrating my cousins return/vacation from England and we were able to play with this! All the kids loved it and apparently I need to buy something like it :)

Talk about adorable! My kids amaze me every day :) 

Puddle jumping

Summer has had a pretty good start! We've been so busy playing outside, at the parks, on the trampoline, camps and walking every day!

I have been working hard on worrying less and being that yes mom!

No shoes while walking the block to the neighbors? Sure. I remember never wearing shoes as a child, I shouldn't insist my kids do.

Want to play in the mud puddles just after your bath? Why not, we'll just wash up again. I guess we are making memories and messes :).

Bryella is just like her sister and drawn to water :) I've lost the battle.

Someone has been busy getting a ride all over town...

Look at that face! Pure joy! 

Brynna and bryella seem to both be learning to ride bikes ;)

I hope everyone's summer has been going as great as ours!

Five on friday

We had the most wonderful week!

First it started with a kindergarten graduation! What an exciting time for her and a little bittersweet for me. We already know who her first grade teacher is and who her classmates are :)

My sister go married!!!! It was beautiful!

She also had an amazing photographer found here

I'm always so thankful for my sisters. They are my best friends! Always there for me whether I need someone to talk to and laugh with.

Next week I'm creating a summer itinerary that will include reading, crafting, outside play time, and other daily activities. I'm thinking it'll look something like this. I love that certain days I can remove things and add others. As summer needs to be flexible!

Original found here.

Brynna and I went for a girls afternoon and had manis. She requested we do pedis next time also :)

Brynna will always pick a fancy nail! This girl loves animal prints!
