Working Update: I have my three weeks of being back at work and Brooke being at daycare under my belt. I have to say, wow that was exhausting. I haven’t woken up this early in consecutive days since high school. But, we are starting to get into a little routine and I am thankful for that. I love routines. I would say that Brooke adjusted really well. She didn’t seem to be phased at all by the transition. Me however, have taken it hard a few days. Sometimes she is just so adorable in the mornings, smiling and playing, it makes it so hard to leave her. I practically count down the hours until I can pick her up some days. Overall, these past few weeks have gone really well though and I am feeling super blessed.

 

Sidenote: I absolutely love this dress! It is slightly more than I like to spend on a dress, so I am currently on the hunt for a similar one, but I might have to cave in or keep admiring it from afar.

    First, that dress is super cute!! I need to add some more dresses to my wardrobe. Second, I’m so glad your first few weeks of work have gone so smoothly! I worked as an infant/toddler teacher for a few years and those first few weeks away from mom and dad are usually so challenging. I’m glad she’s made the transition without too many problems! 🙂

      I know, I really like the dress but it is a bit more expensive than I would like. And thank you, we are hoping it stays smooth!

  • #ad Backyard BBQs are my favorite excuse to slow down, eat good food, and spend time with family ☀️🍗

This setup came together SO easily thanks to @SoloCup products — sturdy cups, dependable plates, and way less stress when hosting 🙌🏻

Hosting tip: keep the menu simple, make the setup fun, and use products that can actually handle a full plate of BBQ (& make clean up a breeze!) 😂

Menu tonight:
✨ Bacon wrapped BBQ chicken skewers
✨ Potato salad
✨ Chips + pickles
✨ Rolls
✨ Pink lemonade

Now who’s bringing dessert? 👀

  • What I served vs. What actually got eaten 💙❤️ #ad #OceanSprayPartner

I put together the cutest little summer snack board! Everything was festive and styled in red, white, & blue for the summer holidays & the @oceansprayinc Fireworks Cranberry Mix from @samsclub was hands down THE FAVORITE! 💥

It has Craisins® Dried Cranberries + popping candy clusters that make every bite feel like a celebration. 🎉 Everyone kept coming back for them, kids and adults. It was gone every time I turned around. This is staying in my rotation all summer for BBQs, pool days, all the hosting moments.
