Monthly Musings: May 2025

 Happy Thursday, friends! It's time for Monthly Musing with Holly and Patty! Today we are talking....

Kicking off summer!

1. What are you looking forward to most this summer?

Girls trip to Charleston in a couple of weeks! SO excited!

2. Any favorite summer traditions? 

We don't really have any traditions, but I do love back porch sitting, outdoor dining, pool days, etc.

3. Any summer travel plans? Please dish!

We're heading to Navarre this weekend to see my mom's best friend and her daughter! Then we're headed to Charleston in a couple of weeks. Other than that, nothing else is on the agenda but we do love an impromptu vacay!

4. How do you red, white, and blue?

Nothing in particular- maybe we'll catch fireworks from our back porch!

5. Beach, lake, or pool?



Ok, I love a beach town- the atmosphere, the food, fun, etc., but I really do not love sitting on the beach. I do like hanging at the pool though!

6. Favorite summer sweet treat?

Any kind of fruity dessert, like a peach cobbler!

7. Favorite sunscreens and self tanners?

I have been loving this sunscreen for my face. And to be honest, whenever I'm using sunscreen for my body, I'm with my mom. Soooo whatever she's using 😂.

I like these drops for my face! I just mix it in with my moisturizer at night. I also like to mix it with a lotion for my body. I'm pretty sure I use the medium shade. I will also occasionally use the Jergen's natural glow lotion for my body.

8. Best flip flops or sandals?

I love a good Tory Burch flip flop for the pool and beach! I got some as a gift years and years ago and still have and love them! I grabbed this pair from the outlet a few years ago!

I also love Lemon Jelly slides for the pool. I have the 'warm grey', but I love the bright colors!

9. How are you staying fit this summer?

We recently got a Peloton bike, so I've been riding that. I'm also trying to focus on eating whole foods and cutting out processed things!

10. Favorite summer themed movies?

Hmmmm....here are a few that make me think of summer or are beachy!

Something Borrowed

Just Go With It

The Parent Trap (Lindsay Lohan version!)

Mamma Mia!

The Last Song

Hannah Montana The Movie (this one will forever be a fave!)

Something's Gotta Give

I'm sure I'm forgetting several, but those are the first on my mind!

Have a great Thursday!

Let's Look: January 2026

 Happy Wednesday!! Let's Look is one of my very favorite blog link ups and after not doing it last year, I am ready for it in 2026! I am linking up with Shay and Erika for this monthly series! Today, we are LOOKING at..... THINGS WE OUTSOURCE WITHOUT REGRET. Ok, there are so many things you can outsource that I just would rather do myself. I love to grocery shop. I think I would be weirded out by someone else doing my laundry. A house keeper is just not something we currently need or really want. BUT, there are occasions when outsourcing is just what needs to be done. Grocery Delivery/Pickup We don't do this often, but when we do it's pretty nice. That being said, I am usually ready to get back in the grocery store myself! Food Delivery This is another one we do not do often, but a Wednesday free delivery from Wingstop has sucked me in a few times 😂. And of course, pizza delivery is always nice! Plus, we can get food delivered to the school I work out, so that's nice e...

Friday Favorites {4.2.26}

 Happy THURSDAY. My days are getting so mixed up with a Friday holiday haha! Posting Friday Faves a day early since tomorrow is Good Friday. Whoop whoop! We're getting a 7Brew!! I'm gonna let the new wear off before I go, but dang I am so excited for this! Have y'all tried it?? My sister gave me this MacKenzie Child's cookie jar for my bday and I love!! I made some white chocolate, peanut, and M&M clusters and they looked so cute in it! I will try just about anything once haha, but I finally jumped on the Tik Tok bandwagon and grabbed this facial brush for lymphatic drainage. My mind could very easily be playing tricks on me, but I'm gonna say I see a difference! Got mind from Amazon! And I cannot close out this post without mentioning Autism Awareness and Acceptance Month! Please, please, please educate yourself on what it means to have Autism, how to explain it to your children, how to advocate, how to include, how to help- all the things!! Please remember, if...

Friday Favorites {12.20.24}

 Happy Friday, friends!! And Merry Christmas Eve Eve Eve Eve Eve- that's a thing, right??😂 I'm linking up with Erika and Andrea today to share some faves from the week, and then I will be off for the holidays! My plan is to see y'all back here on January 13! For some food faves.... I grabbed the raspberry kringle at Aldi the other day after seeing so many positive reviews on it. It is really good!! I had some with a cup of coffee a couple times this week! Last night, Caleb made lasagna soup- YUM. Definitely a favorite of mine lately! A great way to end the night.... Caleb made me a cosmopolitan the other night. Yum! I am really going to miss this sight.... This is my favorite time of year for sure! Twinkly lights and candle light = the BEST. On my drive home from work yesterday.... This was a fun little surprise. I don't remember this from last year! I hope you all have a great weekend and a very Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday! However, whatever, whenever, whereve...
