Family Favorites: August

      

What a busy August we have had! We started it off with a little stay-cation by the beach and my sweet boy started first grade! Now it’s time for FAMILY FAVORITES!

Lauren
Victoria’s Secret Bathing suit 
No, I will NOT be posting any bikini shots! (you are welcome) But I have had a LOT of water-related events lately and I have to say I am obsessed with this suit. It is a bandau top that has underwire. It also has removable straps, so it stays on when I have kids hanging on me and I can go strapless when I am relaxing. (all 30 seconds of it) The bottoms are one of the scrunchy butt bottoms which are pretty flattering, and it has a flutter hem all around the edges… so NO pinching in. (“pinching in”… is that a technical term??)  It also doesn’t get saggy or baggy once wet. Beach, pool, splash pad… this suit is super durable and I don’t have to worry about anything falling out.

You can see the suit in some of these pics… kinda.

Donnie:
Waze App
My sweet husband loves this app. Especially now since he started a fancy new job. (yay hubby!) You type in where you are going and the app tells you how much traffic, car crashes, or construction you will have to deal with. You can also send a text to someone, and Waze send them a link so they can see your drive on a map, live. This works out well if I’m making dinner and want an exact idea of how far away he is. It does lots of other stuff, that I don’t deal with. (Hey… it’s my husband’s favorite thing, not mine!)

                       

Hudson:
Nintendo DSi XL
My son has been begging for a DS for months. I finally caved and got him one for his 6th birthday and I am so glad I did. (I got it pre-owned at GameStop) He was SO excited when he opened it, especially since I told him there was no way I was buying him one. He mostly plays Super Mario Brothers and Super Mario Kart, and he can even ‘connect’ with his cousins and they can play together using Wi-Fi.

                     

Mila:
Stacking Cups
Miss Mila has been obsessed with these stacking cups that we have had since Hudson was a baby. Some of the cups are missing, but she doesn’t care. She loves building her little tower and knocking them down. She will sit there for a good half hour. Lately, I have been hiding different things under the larger cups and asking her to find the item I ask for. I also will ask her to hand me a certain color cup.

                  

Nothing in this post is sponsored or was given to me for free. I always tell you guys stuff like that. Here’s to a WONDERFUL September! (it’s my birthday month so I bet it will be a GOOD one!)

m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
})(window,document,’script’,’// www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js’,’ga’);

    Oh I have got to try Waze! Never heard of this app. I absolutely adore that your son is playing with his DS in a ninja costume. Also we LOVE those stacking cups too, a favorite always. Hope your week is going well
