Happy First Day of Summer!

Happy official first day of Summer, friends! Every year, we make a little list of things we hope to do over the summer, it seems like the weeks fly by so quickly, so it’s fun to have a few things mapped out that we want to accomplish. It’s fun for the kids, but also as a list-maker at heart, so fun for me!
1. Pack a breakfast picnic & eat it poolside.
2. Create the ultimate strawberry shortcake.
3. Take a trip to the beach & try not to bring too much sand home with us.
4. Find lots of excuses to wear off-the-shoulder dresses (like this one).
5. Go to a baseball game.
6. Have an outdoor movie night.
7. Paint something pink, and not just our nails.
8. Make a homemade pizza on the grill.
9. Work out at least three times a week, eat ice cream at least once a week. #balance
10. Take the girls on a surprise summer adventure, details tbd.

Also rounding up a little summertime inspiration with a few of my current favorites, including the cutest pool float (slightly less outrageous than the swan), a delicious cold brew & new fave sunglasses.

Pink Clay Mask  // Ice Cream Pool Float // Watermelon Slice Napkins // Cold Brew Coffee // Vintage Inspired Sunglasses

What’s on your summer bucket list?! I would love to know any fun ideas or plans you might have!! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!! XO

    Love this! Haha and especially the ice-cream. We exercise so we can eat, right?

    Looks a lot like a list I compiled. Love getting ideas from other mamas with good suggestions to pass the hot summer days!

    |I'm liking the pizza part and trying to work on the workout 3 times a week part. Does chewing count?

Easter 2023 🐰 Would like to point out that I di Easter 2023 🐰 Would like to point out that I didn’t find them any cute matching pajamas this year but they took it upon themselves to find some in their closets & dressed accordingly. They also surprised US with an Easter egg hunt around the house with recycled Easter eggs filled with hand written notes and coupons to cash in for hugs, compliments, etc. How did we get here?! The girls could hardly sleep Saturday night bursting with excitement to host our friends & neighbors for donuts in the morning, they were up before the sun ready to start setting the tables & rolling dough. For everyone reading this with babies & toddlers, just know that all of those sweet traditions you are creating will make a home in their hearts, and one day they’ll be the ones making the magic for you. 🤍🤍🤍

Frost with whipped cream and serve chilled!!
