Hey friends! I am so glad you’re here today! I can’t believe it’s Friday and already July–I do not want to think about school starting but it’s inevitable š I go back August 1st (I think??)–when do teachers and students go back where you live?
As usual, today I’m sharing a few of my FAVORITES with y’all!
One
I love the Hallmark Christmas in July celebration! Christmas is my favorite time of the year and I could watch Christmas movies all year long. Even though the movies haven’t started on the Hallmark channel yet, they’ve already started on the movies and mysteries channel, so I’ve been watching those.

I am really excited about this sale! I am a big researcher when it comes to using skincare because I want results but I also don’t (can’t) want to spend $300 on one product. I’ve heard about so many people using this brand and the price point is good for me. They announced this 4th of July sale so I pulled the trigger and bought these:
radiant cleansing balm – this is going to be my face cleanser–I love that you put it on your skin while your skin is dry!
extreme recovery cream – I’m going to use this as my night time moisturizer
sheer renewal cream – this is going to be my morning moisturizer. I’ve also read that this is a great primer, too, so it could actually get rid of my primer. We’ll see how it works out that way!
Make sure you use code FIREWORKS when checking out to get 20% off! Hurry!! This sale won’t last long!

I like taking pictures of Harrison on Sundays after church (and let’s be real, after church because before church we are rushing to leave! haha!) and I always take them on the front porch. This past Sunday, Harrison wanted them next to the gates that Dustin was building for our privacy fence because Harrison loved playing with the gates, so I took his picture there š He’s also smiling like he’s ready for me to hurry and take the picture so he can hurry up and play lol!

Excuse the picture quality, it’s terrible because I zoomed in so much. I’ve been painting the house so things are out of sort. The TV is off the wall, so Harrison has had to watch Cocomelon on the computer. One morning I put it on for him while I was cooking his breakfast and I looked and he was watching while holding the Nutella jar haha–he LOVES Nutella and calls it “tella” and wants it on his pancakes….which he had that morning š
Five
Who is excited about the Olympics?! ME ME ME!!! We watched the trials (and a girl from our hometown made the long jump team!) and Dustin and I are so ready for the Olympics to begin. His birthday is July 25th, so I’ve talked him into having a Team USA birthday party that night while we watch the Olympics. I’m obviously going to wear USA themed clothes and came across this sweatshirt–too hot for this summer but would be cute for this winter!
I hope y’all have a great weekend! I cannot wait to show y’all our new and improved living space once I get all of the picture frames in and hung–should be Monday when that happens!

I started using the cleansing balm last year and I am a fan. You will love the ease of it and it feels so good on your skin. Enjoy your holiday weekend!

We’re so excited for the Olympics, too! They start on Jacob’s birthday and he thinks that is the coolest thing!

Schools don’t start here until the very end of August (probably the 30th if I had to guess a date; it’s usually somewhere during the week before labor day). My middle son loves Nutella and makes himself a Nutella and jelly sandwich for lunch often during the school year.

I can’t wait to see your living room. I can’t wait for the Olympics either. Have a good weekend!

I have been loving Hallmark’s Christmas in July! And I am also super excited for the Olympics. To be honest, they aren’t always my favorite, but last time we were all home, my brother had the trials on nonstop and it definitely got me excited for them!
