Beach vacation #1!

I have been MIA because I was on a beach vacation with my family.  I can honestly say that the beach is my favorite place to be.  I could sit and look at the ocean for hours.  (This does not happen because I am usually playing with my girls, but it is a nice thought!)  We truly spend most of our days out on the beach when we go on vacation.  We do spend some time in the local shops and we definitely went out for ice cream a couple of times.  We cook most (if not all) of our meals in the beach house.  My girls have become fish this summer.  We could not get them out of the water!  This was a big change from years past because they were more timid.  We have another beach trip planned for August, and the girls are already counting down!


Do they look like mermaids?  That was the goal!  


While my girls played in the sand, I read Here's To Us by Elin Hilderbrand.  Most of her books take place in Nantucket.  They are all great beach reads!

My husband made this American flag with  my youngest daughter on July 4th.  I was impressed!

This boat was awesome!  I even sat and enjoyed the waves for a while.  You can buy it here:

It was another great Amazon purchase!

I love capturing the candid moments where the girls were playing happily together.  

All in all it was a great trip!  I can't wait until beach trip #2 in August!

Happy Memorial Day!

Grab a cup of coffee and get comfy! Here is mine below! I felt like I needed my coffee to take the preparation for this project on! On Saturday, my family and I had over 3 other families for a pool party and cookout. Here are some of the things we did! My homemade cold brew iced coffee! On Friday, I ran errands collecting supplies for the party. I came across these cute paper platters at Target! They were great for holding the hamburgers, hot dogs and buns. I also picked up some bubbles for the little kids, some juice boxes and water bottles, and of course, some pool floats and noodles, it was a pool party after all! Is there anything Target doesn't have?! Here are a few of the decorations I put up just to make it a bit more festive. These would be great for a 4th of July or Labor Day party too!

Stranded! September 14: Movies

This month's Stranded Linkup hosted by Shay at Mix & Match Mama and Erika at A Little Bit of Everything is all about Movies!! I don't know about you, but this is a tough one! I love so many movies! I think these three I could watch over and over and over. I think that I have to go with my all-time favorite movie as a child for the first pick. 1st Pick Oh my gosh, you guys! I LOVED this movie SO much when I was little! Hayley Mills is my favorite! This version was the only one in existence when I was young, so I am biased and think this one is MUCH better than the Lindsay Lohan remake. 2nd Pick I mean, who doesn't love Will Ferrell and his crazy antics?! And in a holiday movie!?! We have watched this so many times during Christmastime and every other time of the year! My kids can quote many favorite lines! 3rd Pick I think this one needs to be a newer comedy that my husband and I have watched so many times. I LOVE Paul Rud...
