What we’re eating this week:
M- Chicken and rice casserole, T- Grilled chicken, W- Ribs, Th- Pasta F- Steak S- Pizza
What I’m reminiscing about: 
Snuggling with sweet little Grayson every evening. I miss him. And his momma. Look how big he is now…taking his first swim and everything.💙 
What I’m loving: 
These gorgeous summer skies.
what we’ve been up to:
Lots of swimming,
kitten snuggling, 
and tubing.
What I’m working on: 
Finishing the kitchen update. I started it before we left for vacation, and haven’t gotten back to it again. But company is coming this weekend, and that’s always a good incentive to get things finished.
What I’m dreading:
Nothing at the moment.
What I’m excited about:
My favorite photographer is coming to our house to take family pictures in a couple weeks. I haven’t seen her for awhile, and am excited to see both her and her amazing pictures.
What I’m watching/reading: 
Ben and I still watch an episode or two of NCIS every night. I have no idea what season we’re on…86 maybe?
I just started reading this book because I feel like my once perfectly organized house has turned into closets of chaos and clutter. I used to be the person who got rid of anything and everything, but over the years I found myself turning into the person who keeps things “just in case”. I need to pretend that we’re moving just so it forces me to really go through everything. But since we’re not moving, maybe this book will motivate me instead.
What I’m listening to: 
This soundtrack instantly makes you feel like you’re on vacation.
What I’m wearing:
and these sandals. Or a bathing suit.
What I’m doing this weekend:
More of the same, but with company- Ben’s sister and her family are coming to visit!
What I’m looking forward to next month:
Claire turns 12, my mom is coming, and we’re hosting a wedding reception in our backyard. It’ll be a busy, fun month!
I live in my birkenstocks too. My daughter steals them from me though. 🙂
And such a pretty pool!!
Thank you! I just got my daughter her own pair because I was having the same issue. 😂
Oh, I need to read that mom organization book. I feel like with everyone being home all the time, our house has gotten so crazy lately. And I can see why those skies ended up on your “what I’m loving.”
Yes! Easy to see how things feel a little crazy and out of control lately.
My sweet boy! I think its time to get togeTher again.
With kids i feel like its so easy for things to add up!
They sure do!
