July was a crazy fun month. From our July Fourth to Nantucket and a road trip too…it was a FULL month! Other than all the big fun stuff, here’s a little look at what’s been going on in between. A little life lately for your Thursday…
Swimming and watermelon. This sums up many of our days this summer.
I just think this girl is so special.
It’s been the summer of Ashby missing her teeth! Look how big she looks without them!!
Ashby and I had a meeting to attend at a different elementary school…and look what was out front when we arrived. Manda is just so missed.
Friday night dinner on our town square 🙂 . My dress is HERE and my earrings are HERE.
They wanted matching manis 🙂 .
Morning snuggles with my boy. I’m going to be so sad when we have to get right up and head to school this fall.
Everyone piled on the couch watching Shark Week! I mean…how fun is shark week?! I want them to have a whale week too!!
Kensington, Madeley and I grabbed Starbucks and hit the fall aisle at Hobby Lobby. This girl is so much like her mama. I love obsessing over pumpkins with her. Ha!
Meanwhile…this little pumpkin enjoyed her sandwich while we looked 🙂 .
That’s just a little look at life lately. xo

I’m feeling those Madeley vibes. I mean Starbucks, a ride in the cart, AND the fall aisle??!! She was on to something. 😉
Elspeth Mizner says
With a busy summer i am glad you are all relaxing too!!! Keep soaking up summer!
Jen says
I just love your blog!! What is your go to order at Starbucks?!
Mix and Match Mama says
When it’s not seasonal, it varies. Yesterday, I got a non-fat cappuccino. I typically get a London Fog Latte with almond milk or a Pike with cream.
Sheaffer Sims says
I want to be Madeley! I want to sit in a basket and eat while somebody else pushes me around and shops.
Mary Beth Sanders says
Me too!? Madeley (&all your children) are adorable! It’s about to get interesting for you, Shea, with all the older kids school & extra curricular activities!?? Praise God for helping hands!

Summer fun at its finest 🙂
Andrea says
Their little hands and painted fingernails❤️ And Starbucks + the fall isle at Hobby Lobby is the best!??
Jennifer says
Oh my goodness, did you see the show on Shark Week that was about the great white sharks that were being hunted by the 2 orca whales in South Africa? So interesting!!! I think it was called Air Jaws: Hunted.
Mix and Match Mama says
I did!!! Oh my gosh! Yes! That was on the first night we were in Austin on our road trip!
Rebecca Jo says
Love you have a little buddy for Hobby Lobby shopping 🙂
Michelle Nies says
My family (husband, 8 year old son, and 3 year old daughter) and I really enjoy animal documentaries on Netflix. We watched Planet Earth, one on Columbia, another on Africa, Blue Planet, and now we’re on India. Very interesting!
Stephanie says
We just got a Hobby Lobby in Boston….OMG! All the pumpkins, all the fall…all the stuff! Now I see what the fuss is all about!!
Mix and Match Mama says
Yessssssss!
Amanda @ That Inspired Chick says
The smell of the candles on the fall aisle at Hobby Lobby…heavenly. And that pic of K with the blue/white towel is a framer!

Hey Shay! What are your favorite places to eat in McKinney? My daughter and I went through your town square just the other day. So cute!
Mix and Match Mama says
Cadillac Pizza, Spoons, Harvest, and Snug just to name a few!
Jenn says
Thanks! Can’t wait to try them out!!
Liz says
Sweet pics of your family! I hope Andrew, Smith and Ashby are having fun in NYC cheering on their Yankees while the Red Sox contingency holds down the home front! Mariners fan, here!?. Do your pups stay inside most of the hot summer days in Texas?
Dana says
Life Lately and a Day in the Life post?! 2 of my favorites! I don’t know what it is about your blog that just makes us all so happy. Even my kids love to sit and read over my shoulder!
Also, Ashby and our Clara are almost exactly the same age, just about a week apart. Clara just lost her top front tooth and her 2nd one is wiggly. My husband and I always say it’s the beginning of a total change in them from little kid to big kid- so fun but also a little sad! Ashby looks darling with hers missing. 🙂
Angela Ellingson says
Love. So much sweetness.
Lea Culp says
Sweet summer fun making memories. Awesome!
Karah Stracener says
You are packing in all the summer fun! I am so sad that summer is almost over but also so looking forward to fall and the cooler weather. It’s all so bittersweet right. I love the picture of the matching manis, that is too cute!!!
