Hot Summer Items to Beat the Heat - Mini Style
15 June 2017
It's been in the 80's and 90's around here all week long and its left us on the look out for things to fill up our warm days and stay cool when we're outside. Thankfully my parents have a pool in their community we can visit as guests occasionally, friends of ours have a pool and we purchased a cheap inflatable pool for our patio. It's obnoxiously large but the girls loooove splashing around in it. And I also just signed the girls up for swim lessons next month and they couldn't be more excited!
Here are a few things I found lately to help 'Beat the Heat' during these dog days of summer:
Over the past few years you might have seen the "fun pool floats" trend on the rise. Well, guess what, they of course have now made them for babies! Everything is cuter when its mini-sized...Am I right?!
This retro looking speaker not only keeps your electronics safe from water and sand, it also play music from your device. Win Win!
Right now at giggle: FREE SHIPPING on orders over $100!
This rashgaurd is a MUST HAVE for Charlotte. She fair skinned, blonde-haired and blue-eyed. Burns like a lobster! Shade Critters swimwear blocks 98% of harmful UV rays, a UPF 50+ rating.
Also, this other Shade Critters one piece suit is a MUST HAVE for Ava, it matches her personality so well and she'll love to rock it at swim lessons.
These shade are super cool, my girls love sunglasses and are super picky about the style. They both love these and wear them all the time!
Perfect for a picnic with lots of kids attending or when you need yours to blow off some steam or energy effectively while having fun!
We have had this Zoku pop maker for along time and the girls love whipping up pops with left over smoothie mix or their favorite fruit juice and if your feeling like a 'bad mom' make some kool-aid and fill them up. Nothing says summer like lips stained red.

Give Dad the Gift of Comfortable Feet
12 June 2017
Father's Day is right around the corner so the girls and I started brainstorming ideas of what to get my husband. The girls and I went right to the drawing board, throwing out ideas of what on earth we could get the hardworking man in our lives that never wants anything. I asked my oldest Ava what she thought and she quickly said "Oh mom, he needs boots! Like those farm boy boots so he can go get all muddy with me at the farm!" A valid thought since he's always going through boots. Next, I asked my younger daughter Charlotte what she thought and she yelled, "RAINBOW DASH! He needs a my little pony so he can play twilight sparkle with me..oh oh and maybe cinderella slippers toooooo." You can tell who my girly girl is. Ha! Now if the man in your life is anything like Aaron is then he likes shoes, nice shoes, comfortable shoes, quality shoes. I used to be under the impression that it was just women who had a thing for shoes but after meeting him I discovered that some men do also. With all of these ideas written down I got started on my search for the perfect gift. All three of us finally decided on a pair of shoes. Each girl nodding in unison that yes dad would love these because he loves shoes. Below I rounded up a few of my favorite shoes for the special father/men in your lives!

Fact: We all need clean clothes.
Reality: I hate to do it. Like REALLY hate it. (I know mom, hate is a strong word)
OK y'all...I'm going to be really real for a second, again. Ha! I have many short comings but my honest to goodness real-life Achilles Heel is LAUNDRY! Anyone else? Anyone? I do occasionally find it fun sorting the colors, separating piles of delicates and towels, putting it in the washer and adding powdery soap but after that step happens that is usually when the wheels start to fall off my laundry express bus. Yes, we drive many buses in this house. Well, I was inspired to write this post today because for the first time in over a month (yes you read that correctly) I saw the floor of my laundry room, its tan tile...I totally forgot!
In short, you're not alone if you also hate doing laundry. (Yes, I know it's a strong word) If you dislike the mundane task of switching the loads, hanging up items that can't be dried in the dryer, ironing shirts because your husband hates wrinkles (I do too but hello #timeconsuming) and then shuffling all of those piles of clean folded clothes into drawers.
Folks, it is OK to feel overwhelmed by the task of clean clothing and to give yourself some grace this Monday morning even if the rest of the people in your house don't BECAUSE I hear your laundry room battlecry and I sympathize!
Happy Monday!
