Friday Favorites - June 23rd


It's time for the Friday Favorites Linkup with ErikaNarci 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 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


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!!

  1. Happy anniversary! Yes to camps- we didn't do any this year and my kids desperately need a break from each other. Love those Big Joes- we have the bean bag chairs for the gameroom and love the added seating. Have a great weekend!

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 of Will's friends came and

Ladies Who Link: August Edition: Back To School Prep

Hey everybody!!  Sorry for our absence on last month's linkup! I know all you dedicated readers, ok...reader (Hi Mom!) missed us terribly! Summer has been quite a bear around here. We have been traveling a lot and just existing with 3 kids and a puppy has been a long, exhausting challenge. All that said, I do love them all dearly and do my best to cherish our summer time together and making fun memories...amidst the screaming and fighting. Look for the good, right?? Now that I've gotten that out of the way... Thanks for coming by for our link up! And a special thank you to our other hosts:  Allie over at A Gal Named Al ,  Lisa at Coast to Coast ,  Tara at Mommy In A Nutshell  and  Holly over at Pink Lady !! Back to School Prep time! Obviously, I am quite excited that it is time to get THIS party started. I haven't actually had to do much back to school prep to share with you. We did do our usual Target run to get what we needed. My 8th grader needed some

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
