    WE have that magnet board!!!! Do your kids actually try to use it the way it’s supposed to be used? My soon to be 5 year old just likes to make shapes out of shapes, you know circles that he places into the planets and then rectangles into squares and stuff like that 🙂

    He is a master at making triangles with his scissors out of construction paper 🙂 Oh, I’m clicking through an ad here, but wanted to take a moment and comment on the content, good stuff here. 😀

    Thank you for sharing.

My husband and I were just reminiscing over coffe My husband and I were just reminiscing  over coffee about our anniversary trip to Hawaii a few years ago. 

Have you ever been?  It became one of our favorite places!

Too bad I’m sitting on my office floor, instead of those beautiful beaches of Maui right now! 

Sharing some Amazon accessories for Spring & Summer in stories, including  the ones pictured. 

Cheers to a great Monday!

The song ‘You Make Me Feel So Young’ sung by F The song ‘You Make Me Feel So Young’ sung by Frank Sinatra was one of my grandparent’s favorites. They would say my siblings and I made them feel young. 

Well, not only do my kids keep me feeling young, my husband (who’s 7 years younger) does too!

He’s always thinking of fun ideas and since the kids have really been enjoying puzzles lately, he suggested doing a family sized puzzle together each month.  Last month was a pretty  underwater tropical scene with sea turtles and colorful fish.  And this month’s puzzle arrived from Amazon just in time to start this weekend! 

Speaking of Amazon, we’ve had these favorite swimsuits for years and they’re still available. Everything  is linked in the liketoknow.it app- you can also click the link in my profile for details. 

Hope y’all have a beautiful weekend!

Making a grocery run soon to restock some items so the pantry will look extra nice and pretty when I share it all with you!! Stay tuned!

Mostly everything came from Amazon, and a few items from The Container Store.  Everything linked in the liketoknow.it shopping app- or you can shop through the link in my profile! Hope it’s a great day!

Not only is this dress so pretty for any Spring/Summer event, it would make a gorgeous bridesmaid dress - and one that your bridesmaids would actually wear again! Did I mention it’s from Amazon?! 

Swipe to see how I’d wear to a wedding vs. wearing in a wedding.  Sharing this and a few other Spring dresses from Amazon over on stories today - from dressy to casual and everything in between - they have me excited for this Season! 

Have a fantastic weekend, friends!
