Last Saturday we loaded up and headed out to San Francisco for our summer trip! When deciding where to go we like to pick somewhere with cooler temps (because Dallas summer lasts FOREVER!) and we all enjoy a balance of "going" and "relaxing" ;) San Francisco seemed to check all our boxes and it didn't disappoint!
Happy Friday, friends! Erika and I are so excited that lots of y'all are linking up with us every week. Make sure that you're grabbing our graphic, linking back to us and sharing your own Friday Favorites post ;)
I'm resharing this recipe from a few years ago because summer is upon us which means a really no-bake dessert will for sure come in handy.
This is, hands down, one of my kids all-time FAVORITE recipes.
I know that a lot of y'all are in the same boat that I am in which is attempting to dress a teenage girl who is aging/growing out of the girls section but not fully in the juniors/womens section. IT'S A FEAT! And it's not lost on me that G wears uniforms 80% of the time so BLESS YOUR HEARTS to those of y'all who are doing way more shopping than I am! That said I shared a few finds HERE and got immediate requests for more so here we go again!
Hey! I'm getting a LOT of questions about our trip to Boston and Cape Cod last summer so today I decided to do what I've done in years past and make this post a "landing page" where all of my recap posts for that trip can live together. We LOVED our time in the PNW and I love sharing all the details (even the tiny ones!) here on the blog so that y'all have them if you're wanting to hit up any of the same spots which means I usually have several super lengthy (and photo-heavy) posts. I've linked each of the posts below with a few details about what each post entails and then went ahead and linked the same style of posts for our NYC, PNW, and San Diego/Disneyland trips as well.
Spectacular Things had me captivated from the very first pages. It starts in 2028 at a high stakes crossroads... Mia Lowe gives birth to a baby girl as her younger sister, Cricket, is playing as the goal keeper for the US Women's Soccer team at the Olympics. Mia suffers severe complications and needs a kidney transplant and she asks her sister and then the book quickly rewinds back to 1989 and starts telling the story of the girls, their mother, and everything leading up to those pivotal first pages. I felt like the characters were endearing, I loved the writing style, and LOVED how it started off and then "rewound" to the beginning and worked it's way back - fitting all the pieces in. I cried and was sad when it was over which says a lot ;)
I don't consider myself an expert in many things - but I consider myself pretty much an expert in camp packing ;) This will be my 9th year to send kids to overnight camp and, honestly, we've got it down to pretty much a low-stress science at this point.
