Sweet Weekends

Summer... the perfect mix of rest and fun.

Happy July peeps! This is the best month of the year in my opinion. Schools aren't closing or opening, the days are long and best seat isn't in the house... it's at the pool or beach. Anywhere near the water. My birthday rolls in this time of the year and the 4th of July will always, always be my favorite holiday. The temps are perfect for day long water fun. A few years ago, when we lived Hawaii it was like July year round. I loved everything about that. The beaches were minutes away and the pools were decked resort style, bikini's and flip flops on the daily. But it's not what you have that makes you happy, it's what you make of what you have that makes you happy.

And as of now, we're totally between homes, picking outfits out of suitcases. Friends and family have been incredibly generous to open their homes for us to stay with them during this month long transition. Because of that we're able to save a little and bounce around water parks, pools and beaches. My oldest, Lance, is already enjoying the beach, he's rolling 'round on his longboard and most likely wiping out on his skim board. My youngest,  is proving himself a fish for yet another summer and as many things as he fights, I'm thankful he doesn't fight that life jacket... kid has no fear!

Last week I mentioned not getting in as many workouts per week as the usual. I definitely chose to spend my time a little differently these past two weeks. We took the time that would have been spent 'separately' at the gym and instead, went on walks together. Many walks and a few bike rides. PS... bending over to push a tricycle block after block will seriously work your glutes, hams and quads!

I'm eager to get back on some kind of exercise schedule. I miss it badly. My body is already achy and less energetic! ewww! and, we may or may not of had Sweet Frogs froyo twice last week....

It's been super hard to blog recently, with so much going on! Everyday it felt like something was missing, I love coming here to share and read up on all of you. I always say, I had no idea just how awesome blogging would be. I love the relationships made here and love to keep up with you! I'll try but I'm sure I won't be able post as often this month. Do you follow me on IG or twitter? Lets keep up there on the days that I don't get to post here :)) 

So, I guess Google Reader is no longer and I'm curious to see what happens with GFC. I get to your blogs in so many different ways, and one was Google Reader. This weekend I tried out Feedly and I like it! It took 5 seconds to transfer over blogs from Google Reader (I feel like I was the last person to do that?!) Anyways, I'm still a huge fan of Bloglovin but I think I'll be using Feedly a lot too!


Happy Monday to you!
Hope you met each of the bloggers behind last weeks giveaway! I'll be in contact with the winner!

Remember.... be happy with what you have while working towards what you want :)

Are your toes in the water?
Big plans for the 4th??
