Things I'm Loving...

Helllooooo Summer!!!

Finally, the weather got the memo! It has been beautiful [hot and a bit too humid for my taste] but I'm so glad to see the sun-a shinning!!

Here are a few things I'm loving for the summertime...

1. O.P.I Nail Polish "Pink-ing of You"

2. Lemon Water...read why here.




3. Slouchy Tribal, Striped, or Floral tops

4. A Tasty Summery Treat!


Jack loves bananas. I mean he loves them. So when I saw these little devils at TJ's...I couldn't resist.  Before we knew it...they were gone.  So when Jack was asking for his "tasty banana treat" after dinner tonight, I thought, "I'll just make it myself." So I did....


[Just in case you were wondering...I'm still not supposed to be eating dessert!! Total deprivation leads to insanity right? Everything in moderation!] 

Mmm D'licious: Gone Bananas

1/2 bag Chocolate Chips melted
2 bananas 
4 lollipop sticks or skewers
Rainbow sprinkles (or nuts....or nothing)

Melt chocolate 
Cut bananas in half- stick them on a stick 
Try not to laugh (but good luck. Sean was like, "are you seriously going to take pictures of that....they look like AHEM" hahahaha)
Dip bananas in chocolate
Place on Wax Paper
Sprinkle with topping 
Freeze for about an hour....then they are perfect....not frozen solid, but nice and cold!
Enjoy!!!

5. Three things that remind me of what is really important


1. Seans Brand New Bible[his car window was smashed and his Bible was Stolen...true story]: I love my husband. I love that he loves Jesus. I hope the thief finds Jesus- thats the best thing he could have ever stolen.

2. Jack's Whale bank that he painted! All finished. So cute. I love him and our special little outings. 

3. My little Sunshine Girl.  If the sun's up...so is she! Hello 5:30. Nice to meet you.  I love our quiet mornings together before the boys are up. She plays, I read and drink my cup of joe. She is precious.

That's what I'm loving right now. 
A little frivolous, a little fun, and always my family.

Oh and just a little bonus....this pic. 


Who doesn't love vacation????
Can't wait to go back!!!  
3 weeks!!!
Happy Summer-ing!

I made lemon-lime water at dinner last night after seeing this post :) It's something I love I just for some reason never think about buying lemons or limes when I am at the store.
OPI is my FAVORITE. Thankfully I am a licensed cosmetologist so it isn't too pricey for me.
