BLUE RUFFLED SUMMER

Love a good ruffle...... and a good summer bag. So about a month ago me and Heidy went to Six Flags, where we spent the day on roller coasters. Actually, we spent the day on exactly 6 of them because I got pretty sick from the rides (is this what almost 30 is?) but that's besides the point. ANYWAY, I had lathered up in SPF but must have missed a part of my foot, and that part got completely burned, to the point where it looked like a bad bruise. You can actually still see the burn on my foot, ... View Post

OUR SECOND FOURTH IN MINNESOTA

How many times in a row makes a tradition?My husband, two dogs, and I hopped in the car two weeks ago and took a road-trip to Rochester Minnesota, where we celebrated 4th of July last year. We spent the long weekend with my best friend and her family, including her adorable son (my first nephew!). I never grew up around children so my weekends spent around him are the longest periods of times I've been around a baby before, and the biggest thing I've learned is that they grow so quickly.

You can snag it online on sale for less than $25 here!Top - Shorts - Wedgesx Jill ... View Post

BLUE AND WHITE SUMMER

Hello, June!Can you believe we're almost at 4th of July weekend? My husband and I are heading to Minnesota for the holiday to visit my best friend (where we celebrated last year!). I can't wait to go back and hug and squeeze on her little boy, who I haven't seen since December. I actually enjoy road trips and driving to our vacation destinations. When my husband and I lived in Florida we were long distance by a few hours, so I got used to spending time in the car, and it allows us to travel with ... View Post

COLORFUL TASSELS

Summer, summer, summer timeeee...This past weekend was insanely hot, both Saturday and Sunday, and now we're back in the 60s. It's been a weird past few months weather wise but as long as there is no snow, I think I'll survive.I've been spending most of my days outside, as much as I can. This past weekend my husband and I took the dogs out for a hike in the suburbs, and my close friend Heidy (who I've written a ton about before) have been spending our girls night dinners outside. By the way, on ... View Post
