Celebrate Summer With Bomb Pop And Publix {Review & Giveaway}
Disclosure: I am working with Bomb Pop and Publix to share summer entertaining ideas using the information and products they provided me. However, my opinions are entirely my own and I have not been paid to publish positive comments.
Even though summer isn't technically here it, it has been in full swing here in sunny Florida for weeks now. It is HOT HOT HOT here, and the lazy days of keeping cool in the pool have begun.
We are always outside during the summer, which means that a lot of our cooking is done outside. Whether we're having people over for a pool party, or just cooking up a quick Saturday dinner, our grill gets used all the time during the summer months. After the burgers and hot dogs have been eaten, there's nothing more refreshing than a cool treat on a hot day!

Father's Day Fun In The Sun
Happy Father's Day to all of the dads out there! I hope you all had a great day!
We had big plans to make chocolate chip pancakes for Brian this morning and hang out in the pool, but late last night we decided to meet our good friends at Aquatica for some fun in the sun. The kids had "donuts with Dad" for breakfast this morning, since they missed having it at school like they have for the last few years, and then we headed out to the water park a little before noon.

Friday Ramblings & Five Question Friday - June 14th
It's Friday! It's Friday!
Today is my Friday off and it is probably the only day I won't be working this weekend...and that is only because my mom has some stuff to do this morning and can't keep the kids. Otherwise, I'm sure I would be at work. It's pretty nuts there lately, and I have been working way more than I used to. We're still closing the month of May and I have financials to get out, and on top of that, our budget for next year is due at the end of this month. Fun times.
The last couple of weeks have been kind of a blur. Rylie and Bryce stay with my mom during the day, and Bryce has been spending most nights over there too. I don't mind as long as I get to see him for dinner, but when I go a couple of days without seeing him at all, I want my little man to come home.
While Bryce was at my mom's house, Rylie and the dogs had taken up residence in his bed. I figured that when he decided to come back home that they would have a rude awakening. On Wednesday night Bryce stayed home and Rylie went to my mom's, and when he hopped in his bed, guess who else hopped in there with him?

Kids Travel In Style With The Lassig Trolley Suitcase {Review & Giveaway}
Disclosure: All opinions are my own. Items for review and/or giveaway were provided by sponsor or representing PR agency at no cost.
Ever since we were transferred out of state 6 years ago, we travel a lot back to Florida to visit our families. Those visits have become more frequent since we had kids, and it seems we always have something we are headed back for. Kennedy isn't even 8 months yet and she's already been on 6 flights!
A lot of time my husband can't join us for the entire time we head there, so I am usually flying solo with both girls (and our chihuahua!). It isn't pretty, but Haley is a good helper and I have figured out how to just go with the flow. Kennedy is actually at that age where you have to entertain her the entire flight and feed her snacks for 2 hours, but she is usually pretty good too!
Since we have flown so many times, I consider myself an "expert" at traveling with kids. I have a fully stocked diaper bag, and Haley has a little backpack she takes with coloring books and her DVD player. The personal DVD player usually gets a little heavy for her to carry, so she usually hands over her back pack for me to carry shortly after arriving at the airport. That means I have our dog in a backpack on my back, as well as carrying a diaper bag and Haley's small bag. Once I gate-check the stroller, I add Kennedy to my arms, and let's just say I breathe a huge sigh of relief when we make it to our seats.
