Friday Favorites {6.16.23}

Happy Friday, friends!!  Today's post is a quick look at my favorites for the week....

First off... my most favorite thing, is that we got to spend four years with this amazing dog. His life was cut short, unexpectedly, and our week took a huge hit this past week. But we have a lot of amazing memories with him. Caroline (the youngest) asked if dogs go to heaven so she could see him again one day. Sweet girl, I sure hope so. 

You can read and see more about him HERE.

My favorite outfits for the week...

My favorite workout outfit this week is one that makes me so happy and cheery! I have mostly been wearing shorts because...you know. Summer.

My outfit for the day - I actually wore the tank and bra to workout in and then I just changed into the summer shorts - they are the best shorts for all day wear! I've worn them hiking, tubing, shopping, to soccer fields, basically EVERYWHERE.

I promise you, once you try them, you won't ever go back. 

My favorite Amazon purchase is these shorts! I got them in blue and neon yellow, and then I had to go back and get them in bright pink. I wore them this week and they just made me so happy!

They're on my list of Summer Favorites - because I'll basically be wearing them all summer.

And always, but especially this week, I'm thankful for this man.

He has had quite the last few weeks...

from having to build the closet  because of this...

to fixing our pool

and making the girls an outside movie theater

Screen // Projector // Speakers

and not to mention, he's the one that took Diesel in...

He has shouldered a lot the last few weeks...he's due for a vacation.

Speaking of... we're getting ready to go on our summer trip.

So here are some of my favorites for traveling!

Friday Favorites {6.9.23}

Happy Friday, friends!!  Today's post is a quick look at my favorites for the week....

My favorite recipe from last week's menu ended up being the grilled fish. I decided to do it with black beans and rice, and MAN it made amazing leftovers for the lunch the next few days. lol I used this recipe for the black beans and rice

And these HELADOS MEXICO popsicles are my go-to treats right now! The mini ones are perfect for me. 

My favorite outfits for the week...

Honestly, we're basically living in workout clothes and bathing suits. 

My favorite workout outfit this week is one that makes me so happy and cheery! I have mostly been wearing shorts because...you know. Summer.

These luxe drawstring pocket hustle shorts are some of my most favorite shorts, ever! Right now, they only have the maroon ones, which I absolutely love!

The girls got new bathing suits from Athleta during their sale, and they are so cute! And all so different. Something for everyone, really.

My favorite purchase? Well... it's not from Amazon.  But these sandals, I have been wearing for FIVE years straight now. I will never go back to regular sandals. I LIVE in sandals, you know, FL girl. But with the pains that I've had in my feet were/are unbearable, until I started wearing these OOFOS sandals. They have a bunch of different styles now, and even slip on sneakers (which I have and LOVE). The sandals are not so cute off, but once you put them on, they're not that bad and by golly they're so amazing you won't even care! These are the best teacher shoes too. I keep a pair at work and wear them around the classroom all day long. And if I can get away with it, I wear them around the school, too. Depends on your admin, I guess ;-) 

I promise you, once you try them, you won't ever go back. 

My favorite Amazon purchase is these shorts!

and my favorite little dainty letter necklaces from Victoria Emerson are on sale! I got me and all the girls one for Christmas last year. They're so perfect - and perfect for layering, if you like to do that!

see how dainty they are?!

We've had some BEAUTIFUL mornings this week. It's so hard NOT to be outside during these beautiful mornings. 

Morning sunrise from my portch

morning walk on the causeway bridge

swimming laps while my daughter was at a birthday party at the North County pool

Lake Atlantic! ha - just because the ocean was so calm, it was a beautiful morning!

Last week, I watched AIR on Amazon Prime. I really liked it! It's not normally something I would watch, but I gave it whirl, and I really liked it!

We FINALLY get to watch the last season of Yellowstone. It's one of my favorite shows. 

I'll be back next week! Have a wonderful weekend!

Hello Monday {6.27.22}

Happy Monday! I’m linking up with Sarah and Holly sharing some fun from our weekend. 

The girls finished up Winshape camp on Friday - they had a great time! Brooklynn even said she wished it was all month. lol. And Autumn made some new friends. Unfortunately, they're all up in Viera, so it's not likely she'll see them again, but I like that she's able to make friends easily now. 

THEN, I started off my weekend with a GIRLS weekend at Margaritaville!! I was so honored to be invited, and spending the weekend with this group of girls was just so uplifting. 

This tank is SO good! It's so lightweight and flowy. It's on sale too. 

And these summer shorts are my GO-TO shorts - I will buy ALL the colors. And wear them ALL the days...spring, summer, fall, and even some winter days, because...you know...Florida. lol 

We stayed at a cottage at Margaritaville in Orlando. 

If you know me, you know I have a serious love for Jimmy Buffett. I grew up listening to him and he was one of my first concerts. 

(I blew out my flip flop....stepped on a pop top)

The lobby was SO fun!

Seriously, these ladies made for a fun time!

We spent the whole day Saturday by the pool. And I bought some bingo cards, and we actually won a bucket! Heck ya!

Saturday was supposed to rain all day, but it ended up being such a beautiful day!!

Came home and got right to work with things... cleaning, laundry, feeding the kids...like really? Why do you need eat ALL THE TIME!? lol

This sleeveless swing dress is probably one of my new favorite dresses! I also got it in black. It's on sale right now too! 

Started a new workout calendar. I think I might really like it! If you want the calendar you can download it HERE. 

My workout outfit that day was the flow tank, seamless hustle shorts. 

After church, I decided it was time.

Time to go through the "Hand me down" box. 

I purged that sucker WAY DOWN... fortunately/unfortunately, we're getting to the stage where there aren't a lot of hand me downs any more.... so this box is just the "stuff that doesn't fit yet, holiday clothes, and winter clothes (minus the jackets. They're so poofy, I just keep those hanging up).

The wall of clothes to pass down to our favorite little girl. 

I wore the code joggers and classic V for the rest of the day, SO DANG. COMFY. 

My dad made Autumn a "desk" for her to do her art on - it's more of table, but it looks so great in her room. He loves doing projects - and this was simple, but he just took a piece of good wood, rounded the edges, added some legs, and coated it with oil to make it nice and smooth. 

And last.. but not least, I picked up my groceries for THIS WEEK'S MENU. 

So fun...adulting and such. 

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I'm off to do another load of laundry.
