1. First Friday of summer break – woot woot! I’ve been counting down the days until I could stay home with my girls for a few months, and it is finally here. #cueexcitement
2. Anyone want to suggest some summer reading material? I just finished After You, and it was one of the best books I’ve read in quite some time. I’m excited to read the rest of that author’s material.
3. The blisters on my feet tell me I was quite a walker/runner yesterday. I went on a 3 mile run, then the girls and I went on a 2 mile walk, and after they went to bed I took poor Charlie on a 2 mile walk. Why did I think wearing flip flops for the two walks was a good idea? Never again…
4. Emerson has become quite the climber. She has been trying to stand and scale just about anything lately – which means I am always right behind her because she fails to understand that if she lets go, she will fall.
5. Speaking of Emme, look at this side by side of her and my mom as a baby. Holy resemblance!!!!
6. And just because I can’t leave my Brooklyn out… the two of us went to the grocery store the other day (she wouldn’t take her nap), and holy cow was running errands with one baby a walk in the park!!
7. I finally went out and got some flowers for our pots outside. Now the real test begins – I am bound to kill them over the summer.
8. I cannot wait until my massage appointment next Wednesday. It is long overdue!
9. With that, I’m out of here! Happy Weekend!

Have a great weekend! What an awesome day of workouts yesterday! Great job
Yay to summer break!!! And walking in flip flops??? Yowwwwee I feel for your poor feet! And I’m still working on the running errands with just one baby thing haha
What beautiful girls! Have a fabulous weekend!
I will be stalking this post to find out what people say for summer reads! I still have two more weeks of school :/
Yay for summer break!! I definitely miss having those few months off! Enjoy and have a great weekend!
A book recommendation: The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt (I was sad when this one was over, beautiful writing!) Happy weekend!
I always recommend the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon. Also, Starz is making it into a miniseries starting in August! It’s a fabulous series.
Thanks! I love series - especially series where all the books are already out. I can’t get into series until that happens!
Well, 7 books are out and the 8th comes out this month. There will be at least one more but it’ll be a few years before that one so you’d have plenty of time to catch up.
I have a massage booked tonight, haven’t had one in a year!!! Can’t wait! Yay for summer holidays!!!
Lucky you! Enjoy it!
Glitter and Glue & The one and Only for summer reads
Thanks Alyssa!
Emme does look so much like your mom! SO cute
Me Before You by Jojo Moyes is a great book. I couldn’t put it down!
YES I loved that book!
Your girls are so adorable! Those eyes. Wow! It’s funny how I take shopping with one for granted. I can’t imagine doing it with two! Although, my son talks enough for two kids right now. He NEVER stops!
bahaha! That’s going to be my Chatterbox Emerson when she learns to talk! She talks enough for the both of them!
Brooklyn’s hair? Cannot get enough. Happy Summer break to you!
We most certainly do! Let’s figure something out soon. And OMG I cannot believe I’m having another (girl!!) one either
We are definitely very blessed. I’m so excited for Cora to have a sister, especially one so close in age! I am 14 weeks today.
THOSE BABY BLUES <3
Happy weekend! I have that book on my kindle {along with at least 10 other books} that I want to read this summer!
I read it in 48 hours. It was so good!
Those are some good miles! And, I totally think I take having one child to lug around for granted sometimes - I’m sorry! It must have been nice to get out with just the one! I love the big basket you have for all the toys. I have this box, but it’s pretty deep so Nia makes grunting noises when she tries to reach for something in the very bottom of it! haha
haha I love it! The only bad thing about the basket is that it falls over easily. I need something bottom heavy!
Ohh Emerson and Brooklyn look so cute and oh my they grow up so fast. I am also in need of a massage, I should go and book an appointment soon.
Look at those beautiful blue eyes!! You’re going to have some heartbreakers on your hands!
Brooklyn has such beautiful eyes! Enjoy your massage! I’ve been dying to get one.
I just reserved that book that book from the Library since I seen it on your IG account the other day. I can’t wait to read all summer long. I would love a blog post on some new good books if you have time!!!
You have 2 of the cutest little girls! Brooklyn’s eyes - oh my!! I’m officially on summer break too. Isn’t it glorious?! Let me know if you figure out the trick to keep your flowers alive, I seem to have the worst luck (or I just forget to water them). Enjoy your weekend!
I always get the worst blisters! Especially on days where I plan to be on my feet for extended periods of time - I feel your pain. And those girls and their smiles, tug at my heart strings why don’t ya!
Your girls are so adorable. I am so excited for you to have time off to be at home. Whoo hoo!!
I know exactly what you mean when you say one baby is so much easier. It’s crazy how much of a difference one little baby makes.
Wow she really does look just like your mom! Absolutely adorable
The side by side of Emme and your mom! WOAH!
I love multiple walk days, but blisters are no fun! That is absolutely crazy home muc E looks like your mom. Precious!
