Moms' Coffee Date

It's time for the Friday Favorites Linkup with  Erika ,  Narci  and  Andrea ! Favorite #1 SUMMER CAMPS!!!!! Is that bad? And yes, I totally meant for that to be in all caps. The first two weeks of summer, I had my kids home with me, all day, every day.  I learned a lot. Like we can't all stand to be in the same room together for more than, say...an hour. The fighting begins at about an hour and 2 minutes. Here is proof: They, or maybe I should say, she broke a lamp because "someone" took her "spot" on the couch. She kicked and knocked it over, and bye bye lamp.  A few days later... This happened while we were waiting to get haircuts. Long story. Or, she threw a fit because I asked her to pick something up. Ok. Not so long. So, the point is...summer camps are AMAZING! And good for the whole, keeping my house from being broken and also my sanity intact. Favorite #2 This guy. We celebrated our 16th Anniv...

Happy Summer Planning everyone! Today, we are linking up with  Allie @ A Gal Named Al ,  Lisa @ Coast to Coast ,  Tara @ Mommy In A Nutshell  and  Holly @ Pink Lady ! My wonderful, delightful children have already been out of school for 2 weeks. And as it turns out, my summer plan is currently... Survival!!! Well, the survival of my sanity, anyway. With 3 kids, it seems all they enjoy doing to driving each other bananas. Which drives me bananas. Don't get me wrong. I really do love with all my heart and enjoy spending time with them. Just maybe not THIS much time. But seriously, we actually have plans. We have some trips planned and the kids have a few weeks of day camp they are registered for.  First, we are taking a weekend road trip to visit the grandparents in New Jersey. I have been collecting snacks to go into their Road Trip Boxes. If you didn't see that post or can't remember, I got you, boo. ;)  Road Tripping Wi...

It's Friday! And we are back! It's been awhile, but I am happy to be linking up with  Erika ,  Narci  and  Andrea ! Let's just jump right in, shall we? Favorite #1 Small Town Brewery 's Not Your Mom's Iced Tea O.M.G. Friends...I could drink this by the gallon. I won't, but it is so darn good. I fell in love with this brewery's Not Your Father's Root Beer not long ago. And now, this is my newest love. I am not a big drinker. Never have been. But guys...this is hardly like drinking. I think it tastes just like an Arnold Palmer. I used to like (and still do) mixing Firefly Sweet Tea with Lemonade for my favorite, light summer  alcoholic drink. I would serve it at parties. But this...is heaven in a bottle.  Can you tell I like it?? If you drink, please hunt this down and give it a try. I am confident that you won't be disappointed. AND if you like root beer and haven't tried Not Your Father's Root Beer, grab...

It's the 3rd Thursday of the month! That means it is time for Ladies Who Link with these lovely ladies! Allie at A Gal Named Al ,  Lisa at Coast to Coast ,  Tara at Mommy In A Nutshell , &  Holly at Pink Lady We would love for you to add your thoughts to our linkup! At the bottom of the post, add your link so we can check out your Memorial Day Plans and how you are planning to kick off Summer! Every Memorial Day for the last several years, our closest group of friends comes over with their kids to celebrate! We hang out by and in the pool, have some drinks, eat some food, roast marshmallows and make s'mores by the fire pit! And this year will be no different!  Last week, I went to Target (where else?!) to stock up on some fun party things for the kids. Because let's be honest...if the kids are having fun and occupied, the adults are having fun too! I love to have these around for parties! They are so convenient! I got them from Par...

Today, we are hosting and linking up with  A Gal Named Al ,  Coast to Coast ,  Mommy In A Nutshell  and  Pink Lady ! If you have ever read our blog, you know we are HUGE fans of Target. And there is always something good to be found. I went yesterday and found these gems! These are from the dollar section. We have a Memorial Day Party every year and I thought these would be fun to stock up on. I picked up the fun drink umbrellas and flamingo straws!! They had cute glass resealable bottles with flamingos and matching drink stirrers and can cozies. And more matching tableware. And fairy lights! Baby Shower decorations! More party matching stuff. Every end of school year, I get each of my kids some fun summer things as a last day of school gift. This section would be perfect to get that started!  I LOVE Target's pajamas. I thought this shirt was cute, soft and I love the quote. Gilli...
