June 2023 Garden Update

Well, it’s been a bit since I’ve shared a garden update with you! I was working super hard over the past couple weeks to flip some beds and get the summer annuals seeded ASAP as I feel I’m really behind! Some things have hit the ground running (hey, hey weeds….) and others are slowly but surely getting established! It is hard to be patient this time of the season because June is truly a TWEENER month. The end of July is when all the action happens so, it can be tough to be patient!

Prime Time – Recent Amazon Purchases – June ‘23

Good morning friends and happy Tuesday! After a crazy end of May – with flowers, school graduation, activities – all the things and a 5 day getaway with my husband to Hawaii – I am grateful to be back and have our summer break OFFICIALLY begin with the kiddos and now fall into a normal summer routine around here!

The kids and I came up with a really neat schedule for the summer and I could not be more excited about it. Over the past couple years, I struggled with managing my time, kiddo time, the household needs, and my “business needs”. Don’t get me wrong, I haven’t perfected managing all these things yet, but I am starting to understand where my priorities should truly be and am becoming more mindful on how to achieve all these things without burning myself out! Stop by the blog NEXT TUESDAY to check out our summer routine and weekly schedule to keep summer fun and memory filled!

Good morning and happy Friday, friends! My gosh, we are one step closer to summer over here – I CANNOT BELIEVE IT!

One Year With Nellie – Our Mini Bernedoodle

Hey, hey, hey everyone! Happy Thursday! We celebrated Nellie’s first birthday a month ago and ever since I was planning to share a post about puppy! So, that’s what I’m going to share here today!

We had no intent on getting a dog – in fact we had told Audrey so many times “we’re never getting a dog?” Fast forward and we both say how it was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. While it’s been a bit of a learning curve, sweet girl has been amazing and fairly easy for us! There are a handful of basic obedience things we need to brush up on (she gets overly excited when she sees people – which is our fault we greet her with over excitement all the time) but for the most part, she is a very good and a total sweetheart – especially with our kids and others.

What’s New With the Kiddo Crew?!

Good morning! I hope you had an amazing long weekend! Not gunna lie I’m bouncing back from a rough week! My husband was out of town all last week – so I was riding solo – and on top of it, JP and I came down with some sickness. I’m pretty sure he had croup, me, I was just tired and fatigued.

Anyway – we are refreshed and on the upswing (hopefully no one else gets sick), but tis the season I suppose!
