Welp, I blinked and summer was over. I told my mom last week that the summer flew by, and she said, it wasn’t that it flew by, it’s more like it was just REALLY short! And it was. The kids got out at the end of May, and went back in last Thursday. We’ve been back at it for a week now. I am happy to get back into a routine, but I am sad that our lazy days are[Read more]
The kids go back to school on Thursday, so we’re down to our last few days of summer. But before I get all sentimental, I thought I’d share some of our family obsessions from the summertime! Inflatable PoolThe kids practically lived in this pool on the days we were home this summer! Blew this bad boy up in the driveway, and they would play for HOURS. HOURS!! One-Step Hair Dryer and Volumizer Hot Air BrushSo, to be very honest, I[Read more]
Most evenings, after the kids go to bed and I’m finished with whatever work I needed to wrap up, I love to browse all my favorite blogs and websites for recipes, articles, quizzes, and other fun things to keep me up far too late. Here are some links that I’ve come across lately that were too fun to keep to myself! Healthy Dip Recipes. YUM! Have you checked out Paperless Post lately? Scott’s birthday is coming up next month and[Read more]
I love finding simple recipes for all our fabulous summer Farmer’s Market finds. We love to scour our local market for squash, zucchini, cucumbers, greens, okra, tomatoes (of course), and Georgia favorites, peaches! The kids will just eat them like apples, but I like to find more creative ways to use them. So imagine my delight when I came across this recipe from Mark Bittman of the New York Times that I had saved (and printed out!) ages ago. So[Read more]
There is SO MUCH GOOD TV ON this summer, of course there are always great books to be read, and the selection of good podcasts have never been better. And I am all about consuming all different kinds of media, and sharing some of my favorites with you! So here’s what I’ve been reading, watching, and listening to lately… READING Dragonfly in Amber (the 2nd book in the Outlander series) by Diana GabaldonI read the first book of my favorite[Read more]
Hello my long-lost friends! I took a somewhat unintentional summer hiatus, but am back to check in with you! I hope your summer is going well- it’s lasted about 30 minutes for us, or so it seems. I CAN NOT believe it’s already halfway over! It’s equal parts depressing and motivating. We’ve got a lot to cram into the last month of summertime! But so far, we’ve had some fun, some work, some downtime, some travel, and I thought I’d[Read more]

HAPPY LAST DAY OF SCHOOL!!! We made it through what have proved to be the busiest three weeks of the whole school year. Busier than Thanksgiving AND Christmas, but now we’re through! And we have a NICE, LONG BREAK AND I CANNOT WAIT!!!! To wrap up my 37th birthday week I thought I’d share 37 things to do this summer! I’m making our annual Summer Bucket List, and adding some fun things of course, but also some totally doable no-pressure[Read more]
Hello again my friends! I got to stretch my birthday out a bit longer with an awesome day out shopping with my mom on Monday. We don’t get to do that nearly as often as we’d like (or used to back before kids), so it was a real treat! And then life got SO BUSY again, and here I am and it’s Thursday (but only two days of school left)!! And I’m continuing to stretch out my birthday this week,[Read more]
