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! 💙💙

We swam, we fished, we played lots of card games, We swam, we fished, we played lots of card games, and we ate an obscene amount of Publix cuban sandwiches and fried chicken. 🏝️🐠🎣🐚🌊 Not pictured: the giant angry birds that Nate went to war with everytime he stepped out front.

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. 😆

What I Wore · March 29, 2012

Just Dandy!

I got off of work yesterday at the earliest time that I can possibly leave, 4:30PM. Now that it stays daylight for a while beyond that time it feels so much more like I have the rest of the day to accomplish things. Yesterday at this time I came home and cleaned bunny cages, let Freckles play a little bit, made my favorite pasta salad, enjoyed a delicious salad, ran to the store for a few things with Nate, and then we enjoyed grilled pork chops with my favorite red potatoes sauteed in garlic and oregano. I got to leave again today at the same time and it feels amazing to be off so early two days in a row! I’ve been a little less productive so far, but we’re headed to the gym in just a little bit so I’ll cut myself some slack! I think I’m actually just going to take a quick nap. ;]

I know I really shouldn’t, but I just can’t help blowing all of the dandelions that’ve been popping up in your yard. It just spreads weed seeds, I KNOW. But there’s just something so fun about it. I guess I’ll have to apologize to Nate when our backyard is covered in weeds.

Just Dandy!

Just Dandy!

Just Dandy!

My roots are insane, oh my goodness. I’ve never let them grow out this far. The thing is, people keep asking me if it’s on purpose? Like, have I purposely dyed my hair blonde on top? So, I’m fooling a few people – but the truth is, I’m just lazy. Honestly, the bigger truth is that I’ve been thinking about maybe going with a different color, but that requires an expensive trip to the salon. And then I’ll probably just miss the red and be sad, because that’s how I am. Long story short- I’m going to dye it tonight.

Just Dandy!

Just Dandy!
Blooper picture! This dandelion just wouldn’t fly apart and after 3 attempts I started cracking up.

Nate is out running right now, so I’m going to just relax until he gets back and we get ready for dinner- steak and squash! I think I deserve to lay down and chill out a little, even if I should really be at the gym. ;]

    Hey lady! You know what's weird? I got dressed today and put on this outfit with spectator shoes & thought i should take pictures of myself and call the blog post "just dandy" or "fine and dandy" or something like that. And then I come in and read this!!

    Great minds think alike!!
