I finally put some of those frozen bananas to use in my banana bread! 😆 Who else has a freezer full of brown bananas? Can’t just be me.

Honestly I can’t believe a band tee didn’t mak Honestly I can’t believe a band tee didn’t make it into this mix. 🎶🤘🏻 But there’s a @drpepper t-shirt so that’s even better! I’ve been having so much fun lately remixing things I’ve had for years along with a few new pieces! 

Thrifting and finding a super good clearance deal = my favorite! I’m not really sure what my style is these days.. but I’m having fun playing around with it and feeling a little more like ME in what I’m wearing. Warped Tour heart, coffee shop soul vibes? ✨😆

I think sometime between becoming a mom, working, I think sometime between becoming a mom, working, keeping up with a house, and trying to take care of everyone else… I forgot to ask myself what I actually like.

So lately I’ve been paying attention.

The clothes I want to wear.

The hobbies I want to try.

The spaces I want to create.

The things that make me feel like myself.

Maybe this is exactly what your late 30s are for. Not becoming someone new.. but remembering who you are.✨

My littlest boys are 4️⃣!! Their only birthday My littlest boys are 4️⃣!! Their only birthday demand was that we get them a Sonic the hedgehog cake! 😆 

I still just sit and stare at them in disbelief sometimes.. my twin babies.. my last babies.. and somehow they’ve been here for 4 whole years. If you’re a twin mom, you know that the time passes different. The early stages are a blur in a way I don’t even know how to explain. It makes it all a bit more bittersweet.

I love you Bennett & Everett! 💙💙

Universal was a blast. I hadn’t been since I was Universal was a blast. I hadn’t been since I was a teenager and I only vaguely remembered a ride or two! There was so much to do for the littlest brothers and aside from being HOT, it was perfect. 

Everett was big mad at us for taking him on the SpiderMan ride and did not trust our judgement the rest of the time. 🤣 He LOVED the 1 Fish 2 Fish ride and wanted to ride that all day. 

Bennett on the other hand was all about the thrills and the Trollercoaster was his favorite. He said it was “Torrifying” but he made us all ride it with him multiple times.

I rode Velocicoaster with Nate, Landon, and Maile. And while I would do it again - for a moment I did think I might die. I only did that once. 🤣 Nate and Landon rode it multiple times. Hagrid’s was more my speed and Cohen agrees with me! 

I am a Disney girl at heart! But Disney doesn’t have a *real life* baby dinosaur that you can pet sooo there’s some competition. 😆

Summertime & Hula Hoops

Can you believe that today is the first day of Summer? What I mean is – hasn’t it been Summer for like EVER now?! It’s been unbearably hot for what feels like a really, really long time. I’m not complaining though because evenings like these remind me of what I love about Summer. The warm evening air. Hula hooping and seeing who of your friends can do the most “tricks”. (In case you’re interested – I can jump up and down while the hula hoop spins at a crazy angle. Skills, I tell ya.) Sitting in the grass in a circle talking and laughing until it gets so dark that only the glow of fireflies lights everyone’s faces. Heading out with girlfriends waaaay past bedtime (something I do like, twice a year now!). Raiding your friend’s closet because you didn’t know you’d be going out. Walking downtown in cute wedges that are entirely too small for you and pretending they don’t hurt. Yep – I love you Summer evenings.

Hula, Hula!

Hula, Hula!

Hula, Hula!

Hula, Hula!

Hula, Hula!

Ladies Night Out!

I’m usually so particular about clear photos .. but I just love the fact that these are just a bit imperfect due to the low lighting. I think I need to buy a few disposable cameras this Summer. I miss the excitement of developing pictures.

    Such a perfect post. I agree, it's felt like summer for a while now… but little summery moments like yours are the stuff memories are made of. =]

    Hula hooping! Oh my goodness I completely forgot how much fun that can be! I think I'm going to have to get myself one next time I go to the store and have my own little hila hoop party!

    I miss the excitement of developing photos too! I might have to whip out my non-digital SLR! Also, hula hooping is a lot of fun. Haha.
