insta-friday and a SUPER cute (on sale) bathing suit.

attention!
this bathing suit (that comes in navy and white as well...which, if was up to me, we'd have instead) is so great!
i love the ruffle skirt and criss cross back!
they have it on sale right now at sears for around 12 bucks! (for you people that want to get it NOW)
OR you could order it from lands end here
there are way more color options (AND polka dots!!!) on that site! wow!

the quality is really good (compared to target).
i love it and your little lady will too!
you should get one!


we got an IKEA book shelf.
it. feels. great.
it's like we have more books than we ever realized and they are all organized and ready for book time!
(but ella was NOT happy about something...)


ah ha! it becomes clear! she hates the color flowers i put in her hair and she is wishing for the blue and purple ones.
drama.

lovely trust.
they are so blessed to be learning how to love, now.
they will be able to take that into whatever their lives have ahead and bless each other and others with it.

  2. I love it all! The tents are a blast for the kids, I'm sure. My fav pic is where your kiddos are in front of the bikes, 'surfboard rentals' and brightly colored rainbow pennants!

  3. The girls just made a makeshift tent(with vintage sheets of course) the other day using the neighbors fence:) This was while we were scraping away at the front porch(which is still happening even as I write this.Ugh)
    All that to say, I LOVE your tents! We may need to construct a quick one before our trip up the New England Coast this next week. We'll be spending lots of time at the beach and I cannot flippin wait:)

  9. I have to say these photos remind me of my older brothers and I growing up. Especially that last one. I always looked to my oldest brother as my protector and still do. So sweet! You have such a gorgeous family!
