Life Lately Catch Up!

Today I wanted to share a catch up on what we’ve been doing lately. I was gone last week to a training workshop Tuesday-Friday (literally 11 hour days….way too long), so before I get into my favorites tomorrow, I’d like to catch y’all up on what we’ve been doing lately!

This boy is on the move and loves playing with his brother’s toys. Harrison is a preeeeeettty good sharer so far, and I wonder how that will change as Banks gets older. Also notice the Christmas pajamas on Banks–I had bought the wrong size for Harrison when he was a baby, and Banks has already outgrown these ha!

Harrison was hard at work last week putting together a truck he got for Christmas last year. Dustin has had his tools out removing our old counters, sinks, and faucets (hence why everything on the kitchen counter is on the table), so Harrison has been using his tools on anything he can get his hands on. I went back to try and find his truck and link it, but it’s not available anymore. You can find a lot more here!!

My friend Hailey and I are teaching together again!!! This is from last Friday when we finished our workshop–we were glad to be done!

My sister and I went to workout together one evening last week and we got out of our car and had on the same outfit–even down to the pink shoes haha! My tank is old Walmart, but my shorts are here and run tts.

We had a great 4th of July with our family!

And don’t both boys look so thrilled to be taking yet another picture? I laughed so hard seeing their faces–they were having fun, I promise!

Sweet boy–he sometimes slows down long enough for me to take a picture of him 🙂

And this sweet boy!! He loves eating and army crawling everywhere.

I shared this yesterday, but it’s so hot outside–make sure you’re staying hydrated! I drink about 3 of these a day so that’s about 120 oz.

Someone who will not be named wasn’t tired but then wanted to lay beside me on the couch. Then I heard snoring and saw that someone was, in fact, tired 🙂

Banks is pretty indifferent about a bath. He’ll just sit there and let me bathe him without making a sound. He then smiles when I pick him up to lay him on the towel….also, check out his eyebrows! I’m obsessed!

That’s about it for the last two weeks! See y’all back here tomorrow!

Friday Favorites!

Wow, already Friday again and almost the end of June–this summer is flying by way too fast :). Here’s to hoping for sunny weather this weekend instead of the gross, dreary, rainy weather we’ve experienced all week.

Today, I’m sharing a few of my FAVORITES with y’all!

ONE

I LOVE our local library! This summer we’ve been going to the local library every Thursday for the summer reading program. It’s been focused on the theme of community helpers. Yesterday a local dentist was there to read a book and talk about teeth. After, the kids went outside to participate in the cutest teeth-themed obstacle course–Harrison had the best time and was so excited about the obstacle course! Banks slept through it ha!

TWO

I came across these acrylic frames that are so cute and I plan on getting some for art for the boys’ rooms. Reviews say it’s not too hard to hang, so these look like a good investment to me!

THREE

Yesterday I shared a post about hopping on the new tennis skirt trend, and so this skirt is for sure a FAVORITE this week! I’ve worn in a ton already and would love to get another color or two. I talk more about sizing and fit in this post.

FOUR

Anyone else a fan of Suits? My mom and I started watching Suits together because of Meghan Markle, but we loved the show so much that even after she left the show, we both continued watching and LOVED! The writing is great; the characters’ chemistry and dynamics are great; it’s just all around a really enjoyable show and one of my favorites ever! If you haven’t watched yet, you really need to!

FIVE

Harrison made a fort and wanted Banks to be in his fort with him. Now that Banks is becoming more mobile (I.e. army crawls himself wherever he wants to go), Harrison has really started playing with him. This makes me more excited for the future when I pray they are the best of friends and love playing together.

SIX

I got my eyebrows touched up on Tuesday and wow, what a difference it makes! About 2 years ago, I had my eyebrows micro bladed/powder brow combo. It totally changed my face because she was able to give me an arch which was like an instant eye lift! While my brows still held color really well, it was time for a touch up and I’m thrilled with the results!

The Summer Mom Uniform

I basically LIVE in athleisure during the summer months. I love not having to put on make up each day and getting dressed in the most comfortable clothes I own (aside from pajamas LOL). If only I could dress in athleisure all school year long 🙂

I’ve been watching the tennis skirt/skort trend really take off and wanted to try it for myself. I finally did and I’m not looking back–I LOVE IT!!

This is the skort from Lululemon. I really love the quality of Lululemon’s clothes, so I wanted to try this skirt vs one from Amazon. This is the long length and I’m 5’7″ so I could definitely do the extra long length too if I wanted (online only and it’s 2 inches longer). I love the short length underneath–I think my biggest worry with a tennis skirt was the shorts underneath and if they would ride up or bother me. I’ve worn this at least 4 times so far, and I haven’t had an issue!

You can’t really tell, but the back is really cute with the pleats, too!! If you’re on the fence about buying or ordering, I say do it! It runs tts, and I think I was the biggest skeptic and now I’m the biggest fan!

On an unrelated note, I took our curtains down when we repainted our room and got new carpet in, and I’m not putting them back up because I want something totally different. I bought new bedding during a Memorial Day sale and I may wait until a 4th of July sale for curtains haha!
