Happy Friday, y’all! It’s the end of May and June starts tomorrow which means that in our house, we’re going to start following a family devotion at supper. We’ve done this a couple of other times since I bought this set two years ago (or maybe longer than that?). I think Harrison will be at a great age now to go through it and discuss–although the last time we did it maybe six months ago, he did much better than expected answering questions.
Today, I’ve got a few FAVORITES to share with y’all!
one
These two boys have been loving all of the outside time we’ve been having lately. It’s finally not raining and the weather feels great, so we’ve been soaking up all of the outside time playing in Banks’s water table.
While they’ve been playing, Merritt has been…
relaxing on the back porch with her own personal fan. I’ve shared this fan before, but I bought two of them Harrison’s first summer and both are still working great! They are battery operated, so we even took them to Disney with us a couple years ago with extra batteries. I HIGHLY recommend these stroller fans because as you can see, they also clip on to Merritt’s chair!

Merritt has been so alert lately and while I really love the sleepy newborn phase, I also love this phase too! She’s smiling more these days, too :).
three
We rotate which Bible we read during the kids’ nightly routines. We’ve picked this one back up again and I just really love how it’s written. It’s so beautifully written that when I first read the chapters about Jesus’ birth and death/resurrection, I cried reading them aloud to Harrison. I’m going to throw out some English teacher language, but the diction (word choice) is so beautiful that it allows you to see things in a new light.

I have a new favorite follow to share with y’all! I randomly came across Amy Fritz on IG and then that led me to her YouTube channel. She’s very much into the farmhouse decor (which is not my style at all), but she also have homemaking videos. Her favorites, though, are the high protein What I Eat in a Day. She lost almost 100 lbs all on her own by tracking her protein and caloric intake and then running. Since this is my first postpartum experience, I’m loving all the healthy weight loss inspiration I come across.
five
Also health related, but I’ve recently started intermittent fasting. A friend at school talked about doing it when she lost her baby weight, and I’ve seen lots of influencers talk about it, too. I started a week ago and I’m surprisingly really enjoying it. It’s not as hard as I thought it would be–especially because I don’t drink my coffee until I break my fast because I really enjoy my coffee creamer. I’ll do an actual post after I’ve been IF for a month to report back on any changes, but I thought I’d share that it’s a weekly favorite right now!
Okay, off the enjoy the sun and some friends! Have a great weekend!
Loving those fun pool photos! That is for sure what summer is all about when you have littles.
For sure!! All the outside and water time!!
It looks like the boys have been having great fun outside and how cute that your little one has her own fan!
It’s been a great start to summer!!
Look at your sweet girl! I may check out that youtube video. I am very curious! I try to do intermittent fasting during the week, but not so much on weekends :).
She’s a great follow and she also started out fasting to lose weight!
