This past weekend we went on our first Swamp Tour! It was such a neat experience. It was about a 2 hour boat ride through a swamp near Lafayette, Louisiana with Cajun Country Swamp Tours. We were on really small, 20-seater boats, so we were super close to the water, which was awesome.

This guys face when he’s with Nick is gold! Jay loves Nick SO much, and for a good reason. Nick is so sweet, playful, silly, loving, and patient with him.

Nick pulled a part of the trees overhanging and showed it to Jay. Jay was giddy about it, but very freaked out too. 😉

The swamp was crazy beautiful. Im in love with all the green mossy/scum on the water.

This is the reason why we love to travel and adventure so much! It’s so fun seeing the boys interest in new things, cultures, places, etc.

An alligator!! We probably saw 20 on the tour, they were everywhere.

Charlie really blew us away with how much he was soaking in!

Jay started to get sleepy, it was bedtime after all! And I was not fighting the cuddles one bit, he’s such a Daddy’s boy, that I’m in heaven when he chooses to cuddle me!

We survived!! Despite Nick jumping into to the swamp with visible alligators less than 100 yds away! Haha, Jay was so proud of him after he did it. I would definitely recommend a swamp tour if you ever come to Louisiana, we had the best time!

What are you up to this weekend? We are going on a Swamp Tour this weekend with Nick and his co-workers! I’m so excited, I’ve been dying to do one ever since we moved to Louisiana. I hope you enjoy your weekend, and that you can stay cool in the crazy heat. Here are some of my favorite links this week…

I want to make pretty much every one of these to eat during July.

This is one of my all time favorite messages. It’s helped me at so many different times in my life, and it helped me again this week when I was going through a slump.

My favorite Trader Joe’s find this week. And for only $1.99!

While we were at Trader Joe’s getting the previously mentioned find, Jay found a bunch of crumpled up flowers on the floor in one of the aisles and was concerned about the mess. A worker hurried over and gathered the flower petals and put them in her pocket and told Jay she would put them in her compost pile. I was so impressed! I know hardly anything about composting, so I looked it up. This is what we found, and it looks so simple. I think we’ll start this week! Have you ever tried composting?

I’m going to rent this book from the library this week to start getting ideas on how to decorate our house for the fall. I follow the author on Instagram and I love her!

My Mom would always wear real pajamas to bed growing up, not sweat pants or a baggy t-shirt, and she always looked so classy and put together. I’m considering trying these ones to do the same.

I was googling how to tie a neck scarf to figure out how to wear this cute one I just got from Madewell. And this article showed some super cool ideas.

A cool podcast that I’ve been listening to.

I saw this a couple months back and was so inspired by it. I’ve used the ideas from it when talking to friends who have lost a loved one and I really feel like its made a difference.

My favorite breakfast cookies. And they’re SO easy to make and so healthy. We’ve been making these for years.
