I can’t even believe I’m typing this but for the first time ever we got to everything on our Summer Bucket List. I’m guessing it had something to do with the fact that we’re in a global pandemic and our weekends were wide open. Here’s everything we did!

Friday Favorites
Happy Friday! I hope you’ve had a great week and if your child started school this week (in whatever shape or form) I hope it’s going well. Our district will hopefully go back with a hybrid option after Labor Day. The boys will go in person Monday and Tuesday and then have virtual school Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. I’m still not sure how it’s all going to go, especially with both J and I working full time but we’ll make it work. Or it will be a complete dumpster fire 🙂

Explore Your State | Long Branch Beach
Living in Missouri when I say “beach” I mean a lake beach, but I’ll take what I can get. Long Branch Beach is part of Long Branch State Park and located a few miles outside Macon, Missouri. We only visited for the day, but there are plenty of things to do if you want to stay longer. The park has boat access, fishing, trails, and campgrounds. You can also rent kayaks, paddle boards, tubes, and knee boards.

Must Watch Series on HBO (besides GOT)
While I wait for Season 2 of Tiger King, I figured I’d better find a few new series to watch. I love Netflix just like the rest of the world, but after subscribing to HBO Max (again) to watch Expecting Amy, I forgot just how many great series they have. Here are some of our favorites along with a few that have been recommended by friends. Have a favorite series that’s not on the list? Let me know in the comments so I can watch!

Favorite Family Board Games
We’ve acquired quite a collection of board games over the years. They make a great gift for a birthday or holiday and there’s always new ones coming out. Of course some are better than others and today I’m sharing the ones we reach for over and over again.
