Friday Favorites - June 23rd

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.

This guy.

We celebrated our 16th Anniversary last week! We don't always like each other, but we always love each other. We have certainly had good times and rough patches, no perfection here. However, I am grateful every day for the life we have built together. Love him!

Please excuse the picture of the picture. This is one of my very favorite of our wedding photos. We were married way before social media existed, so we have none of them digitized. Wasn't it such a beautiful church?!

Favorite #3

Watermelon Mint Lemonade from Chick-Fil-A

I know not everyone who reads this has a Chick-Fil-A, and for that, I apologize for the next part. If you are lucky enough to have one, you MUST try this if you haven't already!!

It is sweet, and very refreshing for this very hot weather we've been having lately. It tastes a bit like a Watermelon Mojito MOCKtail. I bet if you wanted to make it a cocktail, you could add a little something something to give it the kick you are looking for. OR add seltzer water which is all the rage these days. And that would help to cut the sweetness down a bit too.

Time with Gavin while the younger two are at camp! We have really enjoyed hanging out this week! Love this kid!!

Favorite #5

Big Joe Fruit Slice Pool Float

Above is the link to where you can get them on Amazon (We get no benefit other than being happy to share the information with you!)

We picked these up about a month ago from Sam's Club for much cheaper than Amazon's price. Let me tell you...they have been the HIT of the summer. They are great because they are basically floating bean bags. So, they don't deflate! And as you can see below, EVERYONE loves them! Even Charlotte, the puppy!

Great for stacking! ;)

OK, maybe Charlotte likes them the most!

Happy Weekend!!

Friday Favorites - May 18th

Friday Favorites! October 14th

Happy Friday! We are linking up with Erika , Narci & Andrea for the weekly installment of Friday Favorites! This week my very top favorite is ELECTRICITY! Where I live in Virginia, was affected by Hurricane Matthew. By the time he reached us, he was downgraded to a post-tropical storm or something, but still there was a lot of damage in our area, and people are still dealing with it. We were very lucky. We had no major damage to our home. We did, however, lose power for 40 hours. Yes, I counted! We were absolutely one of the lucky ones, as we had prepared in advance! And several years ago, we had a generator installed, so we had power to the essentials, like the refrigerator and some lights and a few outlets. Very helpful in keeping all of our devices charged!! My next favorite is celebrating this guy's birthday with his school friends a few days early! We had a video game bus come and park in front of our house. Several ...

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...

Friday Favorites! September 23rd

I've been reading these Friday Favorites posts on my favorite bloggers sites, and this Friday, I decided we should join in! Sara's Favorite #1 and Fall Bucket List Item! Let's kick it off with Fall TV Premiere Week! That is absolutely a favorite! I have been waiting all summer to get some episodes of some of my favorite shows and check out some new ones! I am most excited for Modern Family, Brooklyn Nine-Nine and The Middle to begin again. Except The Middle isn't coming back until October 11th?!? Ugh! The waiting continues! I also was excited to check out some new shows! I watched Kevin Can Wait and The Good Place and This Is Us. Kevin Can Wait makes it on my maybe list. The Good Place was cute! But somehow missing something. I am up for waiting to see how that one turns out. This Is Us is seriously amazing. Not to overstate it, but I was blown away. Please watch this if you can. GREAT show. #FallBucketListMCD Sara's Favorite #2 Clothes for ...
