Have a great weekend! 8.11.17

I hope you have a great weekend, and you can enjoy as much as Jay loved jumping on his bed last weekend, haha! It’s my birthday today, and I love birthdays for the opportunity to reflect on life, and growth. This past year has been my favorite year yet, although it definitely still had its fair share of challenges. To celebrate today Nick and I got to go to the Baton Rouge LDS Temple. It was so great to have some time with him without the boys around. Tomorrow we are headed to the beach a couple hours away with some friends, it should be fun if the weather holds up, the weather in Louisiana is so unpredictable right now. Here are some of my favorite links from the week..

A unexpected book that I’m dying to read, the concept is so intriguing.

My favorite jeans of all time are on sale right now.  They are so comfy and perfect for moving around, but still look amazing. Also, the crop is perfect, so they never have to be hemmed or just look awkward.

We made this orange creamsicle recipe a couple of days ago. They turned out really yummy! It’ll definitely be a recipe we make again.

A cool art project idea to do with kids.

I’m going to go off sugar starting tomorrow (gotta have a little birthday cake on my birthday, am I right?) and this made me laugh.

On my most recent flight alone with the boys, Jay was pretty crazy for the whole flight, and then right as we landed he fell asleep, like a really deep sleep, really fast. I was trying to get him and Charlie off the plane and with both of them asleep and two bags, it just wasn’t happening. Before I even had time to get stressed, a kind family approached me and asked me if they could help carry Jay off the plane. It was such a blessing. This story reminded me of this experience. There is so much goodness still in the world, I love being reminded of it!

I found this book on display at the library, and I’m obsessed! The whole vibe is very California casual and beautiful.

I know I’ve mentioned this podcast before. But, please go back and listen to episode 3 its such a game changer. It honestly has changed my whole way about thinking about life and relationships.

This is my favorite thing at Trader Joes right now. It goes perfectly on avocado toast, my current favorite lazy meal/snack.

I love love love this thought.

Jay and I both have these sandals and they have been saving us this summer. They can withstand rain, weather, and saltwater. It rains so much in Louisiana these have been a must, and we’ve worn them pretty much everyday.
