Fav Shorts for Summer

I love summer. & I love summer clothes. I wish I could wear shorts every day of the week, but its probably not appropriate for work. I still need to invest in scallop shorts and fun print ones with elastic waist bands. Seriously whoever started the trend of elastic waist band shorts for during the day is a genius.
 
A | Because I can imagine they feels like pajamas

B |  Or like wearing work out shorts all day long

C | Can we say insanely – comfy

D | I  just need to get me some ASAP.

 

Speaking of getting some ASAP, I really need to go on a shopping trip. The mall is calling my name and it happens to be my birthday week, so it sounds like the perfect week to do some damage (don’t worry husband).  But seriously, it needs to happen.

    Lovin’ these trends too! I told my mom and husband the same thing: whoever decided silky, PJ shorts were okay to wear during the day is AMAZING in my book! But alas, I don’t own any either. I need to get on that!

    I love these! I’m in the process of updating my wardrobe and I’m in desperate need of some shorts and pants. I’ll definitely have to look into some of these!

  • #ad #RubbermaidAmbassador Resetting my tween’s bathroom didn’t require a full makeover… just smarter swaps 👏🏻

I found these Rubbermaid bathroom essentials at @Walmart while doing a late-night scroll (because that’s when moms get things DONE 😅), and I love how they instantly made her space more organized and functional.

The Rubbermaid Mesh Pockets Shower Liner has been a game changer for keeping everything organized and the Rubbermaid Instamat™ Tub Mat gives me peace of mind with its non-slip design + easy hang-to-dry feature.

Both are BPA-free, kid-friendly, and designed to stay fresh longer—which means less work for me 💛

Small changes can make a BIG difference.

  • Being their mom is my greatest privilege 💕 — through the chaos, laughter, exhaustion and pure joy.

Watching these two grow 💐 while growing alongside them has been the sweetest gift.

So grateful for every little thing🤍

  • Super excited to watch Brooke step onto the stage for her first dance recital 💃🏽✨

She decided to try something completely new and joined a hip hop class this year!

Definitely outside of her comfort zone — and I couldn’t be more proud of her for sticking with it, growing in confidence, and having fun along the way.

Can’t wait to cheer on our girl today for two performances! 🎤🪩
