Spring Has Sprung

5.14.2013

Alright party people. It is for real for real Spring over here.... which is a big deal considering it snowed the first week of May! But last weekend at the baseball game everyone got sunburned. Which means the snow is away and the sun will play. Adam and I have exactly THREE weeks until he potentially disappears for the rest of the warmth - so we are starting our warm weather wish list.
Last spring was spent planning our wedding, taking trips to Idaho and California ( California just for Adam - he without me... that was sad), watching baseball, competing at Miss Idaho... and just staying busy in general. So this year we are going to enjoy it with just baseball and work on our plates. Want to know what some of my blog friends are looking forward to this spring?

This spring {next week in fact} we are going to Florida! We as in my husband Dylan, KJ my son, my momma, our friends and their little one. We are going to Disney World, Island of Adventure, the beach, and gonna do some relaxing at the pool. So excited for THIS spring!

My favorite spring activity: Taking my kids to the park to enjoy the warm sun!

My favorite springtime activity is the opportunity to enjoy the warm and beautiful weather outside! I love spending time with family and friends hanging out, talking, laughing, or curling up with a good book in the sun! {Sometimes, as the picture shows, I also like to goof around with old cheerleading jumps! hehehe}

So what are you looking forward to now that the warm weather is rolling in for good? I cant wait for more baseball sun - with loads of sunscreen - and enough snow cones to put me into a hydrated sugar coma. Send me some warm weather ideas. Can't wait to hear from you!

Love,

Summer Must Haves

4.22.2013

With summer rolling in (please let it stop snowing here!) and warm weather attached at it's hip I have been thinking of my summer wishlist. What does this working girl need? This year it isn't the traditional swimsuit, beach towel, and sandals. Getting a tan and going to the beach is going to be a lot more difficult now that I work full time. And getting work off is going to be more difficult now that I have a job that ... for lack of a better description... has some real responsibility tied to it. So what do I need? Let me show you!

1 \\ Sunglasses.  These are my most wanted and needed summer item. Because they will be used so frequently - and I cant rarely seem to find a good pair that doesn't break after one week. And not just any sunglasses - Ray Bans. Because I have always wanted a pair of good sunglasses that make me feel like one of the cool kids. I love the Ray Ban Wayfarers. The sunglasses come in so many different colors, but  the Original Wayfarer Patchwork Sunglasses in Blue are my definite favorite!    The royal blue color is perfect for my style and common color scheme. And they are a pair of glasses I know will last far beyond just this summer. Quality over quantity, right? Then for the times I get out to play, grill, and watch baseball, I don't have to worry about my eyes burning up! You can check out all the colors and options over at Red Hot Sunglasses. 

2 \\ Self tanner. I don't have the daylight to go play outside on the weekdays anymore. Most of my days are spent inside. And I am not a huge fan of tanning beds because they are dangerous. So self tanner it is. I am trying out a few different ones, I will let you know my favorite!

3 \\ Summer feel tote. I have purses. Almost all of mine are some sort of nuteral. Black, brown, tan, grey... Because I hate changing bags normally. But getting a fun tote with summer colors and summer feel is an easy way to bring the season with your anywhere.

4 \\ Sandal wedgies. I can't get a new pair of bedazzled flip flops, that won't fly in the office. But I can get some cute sandal wedgies to bring all that summer feel to the office. Right now there are tons of fun colors and styles in wedged sandals.

Those are the basics for my working girl summer. Sunglasses, a tan (as fake as can be), and a bag and cute wedges. But I am still eyeing a few swimsuits for any opportunity I have to go to the pool. More to come on that later! What are your summer must haves?
