Happy FRIDAY, friends!
I hope you have all had the BEST week!
Who doesn’t love a Summer Friday?!
Okay, just a reminder, if you’re looking for a little extra summery fun around here, make sure you check out YOUR TOP 10 SUMMER DESTINATIONS IN THE US (this is where YOU voted on your favorite spots to visit in the US during the summer season) as well as my BEST TRAVEL TIPS post too. Both will help you stay in that summertime mood 🙂 .
As always, I’m linking up with my friends Andrea and Erika and sharing my favorite things from the week.
Happy Weekend, friends! xx
Mix and Match Travel Agency is so excited because…
…we have an EXCLUSIVE OFFER for the June 21-25, 2027 Utopia of the Seas sailing!
Woohoo!
My family truly, truly had such a great time on the Utopia in April that when I came home, I reached out to Royal Caribbean and reserved cabins for next year so that my clients can go too but for a better rate than what you would get directly from the cruise line.
If you have questions, would like specifics, need more information, and/or are interested in reserving one (or more!) of these cabins for next year, CONNECT WITH US TODAY!
We would LOVE to send your family on this ship too!
You can see my blog posts from our time on the Utopia of the Seas HERE.
On Tuesday, ASHBY TURNED 14!
And goodness, we have LOVED celebrating her BIG this week 🙂 .
On Monday…
…Ashby and I grabbed Starbucks and headed to the mall.
For her gift this year, she wanted to go shopping with her mama.
We shopped and shopped and had lunch and…
…we stopped to get her second set of ear piercings. She’s been talking about wanting to add a second set this last year, so we decided to do it on her 14th birthday.
SHOPPING + EAR PIERCINGS?!
What? Was it my birthday too?! 😉
We had the best, best day.
On Tuesday (her actual birthday)…
…she wanted to have a swim party with her friends.
Awwww, the joys of the summer birthday.
My other three kiddos are quite jealous of the the swimming/not going to school/ease of the summer birthday.
We had 8 girls come over to swim, eat lunch and…
…enjoy a snow cone from the Kona Ice Truck.
This was exactly what she did last year and loved it so much that she wanted to repeat it this year too.
Her friends left around 3:30, and then at 4:30…
…we partied more!
My parents came over and the eight of us had a birthday dinner for Ashby. She wanted a charcuterie board, spaghetti, Caesar salad, and banana pudding.
Around 7:30, two of Ashby’s besties came back over for a sleepover.
Needless to say, it was a FULL day celebrating our sweet 14 year old 🙂 .
Ladies, it’s the…
…SUMMER STOCK UP SALE with my VERY FAVORITE skincare and hair care brand, COLLEEN ROTHSCHILD!
That means right now, you can BUY ONE, GET ONE 50% OFF!
Here are some of my favorite combos you might want to stock up on right now with this BOGO 50% off offer…
My DAILY MOISTURIZER with a drop of ETHEREAL GLOW SERUM (in bronze) gives that little bit of summer warmth. I use this combo EVERY SINGLE DAY before applying my makeup. It just warms my skin up a bit without making it too bronze-y.
Another great combo…
…is the SHAMPOO and CONDITIONER!
This is without a doubt the very best haircare I’ve ever used. I have never one time even thought about trying anything else. My mom and my three girls use it too. Once you switch, you’ll see a difference!
And here’s one more really good combo you could try right now…
….the GOAT, my most beloved of all beauty products…the RADIANT CLEANSING BALM + the AGE RENEWAL SUPER SERUM
This serum fights the six signs of aging: texture, dehydration, elasticity, fine lines, radiance, and tone. I’ve used both of these products for YEARS.
This is a site-wide sale, so no matter which items you choose, it’s BUY ONE, GET ONE 50% OFF right now!
I always love collaborating with you, Colleen Rothschild!
As much as we hate not being on Nantucket this week, it worked out really well because…
…Mades got to attend our church’s Vacation Bible School!
We love VBS but often miss it because of our summer schedule.
She had the BEST time!
Day One!
Day Two!
Day Three!
Day Four!
It was such a fun week for our littlest one!
Speaking of the week, here’s a little round up of what I’ve been wearing around here…
…I have this VUORI SKIRT in three different colors now, so clearly, it’s a Fave 🙂 .
I wore it with…
…THESE SUPER COMFY SANDALS. I wore these sandals all week. So comfy and cute and only $30!
I love the gingham pattern on the skirt 🙂 .
The name of the game here is to dress for the temps without getting too hot and sweaty (or looking too hot and sweaty…per yesterday’s post!)…
TANK + LINEN BLEND SHORTS + SANDALS for the win!
I bought the shorts in “coastal blue”, but they come in 8 other options too!
Super cute!
But then some days…
…I do dress hot and sweaty and well, that’s okay too. Bahahaha!
I love THESE SHORTS and MY SHORT SLEEVE SWEATSHIRT!
One more thing I forgot to share a few weeks ago…
…but I love THIS DRESS for so many reasons. I wore it to dinner with MY HEELS and…
…my favorite SHELL EARRINGS 🙂 .
They’re only $7, and I’ve had them now for three years. I get compliments every time I wear them.
And it wouldn’t be summertime without…
…sharing my 13 SUMMER KEY LIME RECIPES!
I have pies, bars, cupcakes, and more! You can see all of the summery goodness HERE!
Happy happy FRIDAY, friends!
I hope you have the very best day. I will see you back here TOMORROW! xx
