    Books {You’ll Actually Want} To Read This Summer

    Like most people I definitely go through phases where I will read a lot and then not pick up another book until a year later. No, just me? This Summer has proven to be one of those times where I can’t get enough of reading.

    Let’s Get Muddy~Mud Run 2016

    This past weekend Ben participated in our city’s annual mud run obstacle course for kids. It rained for almost a solid week leading up the run so conditions were perfect for getting messy.

    With Father’s Day right around the corner, here are 3 quick and easy handmade crafts to gift your baby daddy. Although it can get messy, slapping some paint on your little one’s hand or foot is the best keepsake for any parent. And I’ve found that keeping a handful of wipes right next to me makes clean up so much easier. Doing the actual prints took about 10-15 minutes and then putting on the finishing touches once everything was dry another 10-15 minutes. Are you planning on making some homemade gifts? What’s your favorite? Linking up with Annie for Thoughts on Thursday. Follow my blog with Bloglovin SaveSave SaveSave

    Berry Picking on the Farm

    If I could live on a farm it would be this one. Not only was there a big beautiful farm house and lots of furry farm animals running around, but there was also rows and rows of berries just waiting to be picked.  By the looks of their baskets I’ll let you guess which one ate more than he picked.
