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 our dogs. Plus I make an epic playlist.
Speaking of dogs, we had a scary moment with our dog Titan. My husband is a part of the charity called Heroes on the Water, where they take veterans out fishing, kayaking, and doing other outdoor activities (it’s really such a great charity). About halfway through the event as I was reading my book, I looked down to see our boxer not acting right. I called my husband quickly, who was out on the water, and he came back as quickly as possible. By the time he made it to us, Titan’s face was completely swollen and his eyes were almost shut. After rushing the poor guy to the nearest vet, they determined he had an extreme allergic reaction – which probably was from a bug bite. He had hives all over him, so to find the source was nearly impossible. Thankfully it was something that steroids and some meds could fix, and he’s back to his lovable self. He’s an 11-year-old boy, so we worry when these things happen, but he’s definitely taking advantage of all of the extra attention.
But back to my original point, I’ll definitely be packing this dress for our trip to Minnesota. My absolutel favorite part about it is that it’s not see-through – HALLELUJAH – and you don’t have to wear a bra (TMI). Can you ask for anything more in a summer dress? Shop it here!

We are HUGE @DisneyPlus fans in this family and no We are HUGE @DisneyPlus fans in this family and now that Jude is getting older, we’re really loving family movie nights! So we’re SO excited for Disney+’s new original movie Flora & Ulysses, streaming February 19th! Flora & Ulysses is about a girl named who befriends a squirrel she rescues named Ulysses, and learns he possesses unique superhero powers that take them on an adventure that changes Flora’s life. I also love that it’s based on a book, and I can’t wait for Jude to watch it since he’s obsessed with the squirrels in our neighborhood. 😂 You can swipe right to check or visit the link in my bio to watch the full trailer for @Floraandulysses, streaming exclusively on Disney+ February 19th! @DisneyStudios #FloraAndUlysses #DisneyPlus #ad #hbtfloraulysses
Got a little weather FOMO when I saw it was snowin Got a little weather FOMO when I saw it was snowing in Chicago, but we took the boys to a nearby botanical garden (we were the only people there) and enjoyed the 70 degree weather so much, I stopped missing the snow reaaaal quick. 😉 Also the @sollybaby wrap may be our most used baby product. It’s so comfortable, easy to put on, and Heath absolutely loves it. I may start carrying Olive in it when he’s too big for it.
Hooray for 3 months! 💙We’re officially out of Hooray for 3 months! 💙We’re officially out of the fourth trimester and we’re really starting to see his little personality come through. He gives the most hilarious judgmental looks (who can blame him? He’s a 2020 baby), smiles when anyone talks to him, and loves to watch his big brother play.  He’s only been here for a few days but he’s loving the Florida sunshine! ☀️ #heyheathjoseph #childhoodunplugged #babyboy #lifewithlittles
After driving 24 hours we finally made it to paren After driving 24 hours we finally made it to parents’ house in Florida! Driving with two kids under two, two dogs, and enough suitcases to dress an army was hectic to say the least, but it’s always the crazy ideas that make the best memories. And even though we’re not going anywhere, the change of scenery and ability to be outside is going to be such a treat for us. Jude is already living his best life in nothing but a diaper while Olive has already traumatized the ducks in the backyard. 😂 Side note: this gallery wall at their house is my favorite, and I can’t believe how much Jude looks like my dad as a baby (third photo from the top left!) #heyjudeharrison
Proof I own sneakers. Also proof I don’t really Proof I own sneakers. Also proof I don’t really know what to do with them because I wore them in wet snow. 🥴 Took this guy to his 2 year appointment today. I can’t believe we have an almost 2 year old! #heyjudeharrison
