Home-cation Pics!

IMG_6097 IMG_6098 IMG_6112 IMG_6124 IMG_6135 IMG_6229 IMG_6230 IMG_6231 IMG_6233 IMG_6254 IMG_6260 IMG_6263 IMG_6271 IMG_6311 IMG_6312 IMG_6324 IMG_6330

Most of you probably saw on Instagram that we went home to our parents house for a few days for a little “home”cation. Unfortunately, three days before we were suppose to leave, all three of us got a horrible stomach bug (thanks to Brooke). We were really hoping that it was a three day bug we had heard about, so we made our way to our parents house feeling horrible still, only to find out that it was a five day stomach bug. We spent the first two days of the trip not feeling the best, but everything is better at your parents house. Once we started feeling better, we had the best time with our parents. We took Brooke to the pool for the first time this year, and both of our parents got Brooke a kiddie pool to splash in. She absolutely loves the water!

 

We also got to hang out at the lake house and go out on the jet ski. It was pretty fun and relaxing. We really needed a few days away and going home was perfect. We always have a blast with our parents and they love getting to spend extra time with Brooke. Overall, it was a very successful, fun trip despite being sick. Now, we are back to the grind of normal life, but its my birthday week, so bring on the celebration!

    I’m sorry your were sick at first, but glad to hear you felt better. That looks like a really fun, relaxing vacation. Thanks for sharing all the pictures of your precious daughter with your family.

  • #ad Pool days with kids always look relaxing... until you’re packing half the house. 😂☀️ One thing that’s earned a permanent spot in my pool bag?

@GoodWarrior Beef Sticks. I recently discovered this NEW protein snack, and it’s such an easy grab-and-go option for busy summer days.

They come in Original and Jalapeño Pepper flavors, and both are packed with flavor. Each stick has 10g protein, 100 calories, and 0g sugar.

Plus, they’re made with grassfed & finished beef, gluten free, and contain no MSG, artificial flavors, or artificial preservatives.

If you’re stocking up on summer bag essentials, add Good Warrior Beef Sticks to your list! 🙌🏻

Find them here: https://click2cart.com/4962000f

Which flavor are you trying first: Original or Jalapeño Pepper? 🌶️🥩
  • #AD Summer hosting doesn’t have to be complicated to feel special 🤍 

I grabbed Tate’s Bake Shop Chocolate Chip Cookies,  Double Chocolate Chip Cookies, and Soft Baked Chocolate Chip Cookies from @target and turned them into the easiest s’mores dip board for summer nights.

The crispy cookies have that signature crunch, and the soft baked cookies have a delightfully chewy texture. Everything tastes elevated and the quality is amazing 🍪✨

@tatesbakeshop really understood the assignment for easy summer entertaining!
