This summer has already flown by! I can’t believe it’s the middle of July and it feels like it will be non-stop until Labor Day. I thought summer was supposed to be relaxing, but between the kids’ camps, activities, appointments and work it feels BUSY! I’ve been heavily relying on my Walmart+ membership because fitting in time to go to the store is harder than ever.

You know I love Walmart+ – I’ve been a member for over 10 months and continue to use the membership weekly… at least! It’s saved me countless times…. last minute gift for kid’s birthday parties, groceries, diapers and most recently summer staples.

We’ve been spending a ton of time in the sun between the beach and pool and needing restocks in sunscreen, pool and sand toys, towels, etc. I try to stay organized and go through my beach bag often, but I still find myself scrambling at the last minute for more swim diapers for Wilder. I’ll login to my Walmart+ account and place an order and have them delivered to my door in a matter of hours. I always end up finding something cute for myself or one of the kids to add on to the order, like my neon terry cloth beach outfit and this fun summer set for Crosby.

Somehow the first week of April has flown by and gotten away from me. Between all the Easter fun and planning for Wilder’s Birthday (Saturday) it’s been a little hectic. I couldn’t let too much time pass without sharing my March top five sellers. As usual the list is a mixed bag – a few home items, accessories and clothing. I’ll break it all down below!

Fire pit – We’ve had this fire pit for a few years and have been so happy with it. It’s not huge but still a good size. It also comes in gray and i almost wish we went with that color.

Lounge chairs – One of my backyard favorites. I purchased these on sale three years ago and love lounging on them when we’re in the backyard… or when I sneak back there while the kids are napping.

Sunglasses – Jeff and I both got a pair of these a few years ago and still wear them all the time. I think they’re so versatile and flattering on everyone. I love the hexagon shape and they seem to go with everything!

Quilted jacket – This is a hot item. It keeps selling out but they’ve been restocking it here and there. I do want to note it runs really oversized, I purchased a small because xs was not available and it’s very roomy.

Round straw tote – I used this quite a bit on our desert weekend last month. It’s lightweight and a great size for all your sun essentials – would even work if I was with the kids and was lugging their things around.

We just got back from a quick little weekend getaway to Palm Desert. I love the desert in the spring, the weather is the absolute best – 80 and sunny during the day and 70 at night. I was so excited to pack for a warm weather getaway and put together a little capsule wardrobe in case you’re looking for inspo for an upcoming vacation.

The sun is out and it’s finally starting to feel like summer! Just in time for stores to bring out all the fall things. Ha! But in all honestly, our summer is only just beginning and it won’t be anything close to fall until at least Thanksgiving. Crosby and I are taking this opportunity to wear all the cute swimsuits we can… starting with these fun one-pieces we wore Sunday.

on Crosby: swimsuit, shorts, bag, similar sandals

I got this one-piece the other week from Beach Riot. I love the cutouts and ties… it almost gives it a bikini feel, but there’s plenty of coverage since it’s still a one-piece. I paired it with my new favorite shorts. They’re a steal at $30. I’m going for anything high-waisted right now and these are amazing. Crosby wore a cute seersucker one -piece with the softest draw string denim shorts from Target. They’re only $8 and I can tell they’ll be a summer staple for her.

Crosby is just getting into accessories. She’s all about sunglasses and bags right now. She got this cute beach bag as a gift a couple of months ago and I knew she’d love to bring it to the lake with us. We left Wilder with my parents so I took this as an opportunity not to bring my normal diaper bag. I put Crosby’s things in her bag and used mine for snacks and my stuff. I also couldn’t pass up an opportunity for a mirror selfie with her cute bag. I think it’s time for us to start sharing!

Happy Summer Solstice and longest day of the year! I thought it was only appropriate to wear this total summer look on the blog today. I wore this to the beach a couple weeks ago and stopped for some photos on the way home. So please excuse my post-beach-day sweat/glow. The hat and sunglasses were definitely needed. HA!

This Tiare Hawaii skirt is a new addition to my closet, but I think I’ll be wearing it a lot of different ways this summer. It’s slightly high-waisted (but I pulled it up higher so it wouldn’t be too long). There’s a coordinating crop top that could be worn with it for a really cute matchy-matchy look… or you could mix a variety of colored tops with it to suit your mood.

I’d never worn a high-waisted skirt as a swim coverup before, but I think I like it! This new suit from PilyQ is really fun for summer. I love how much coverage the top provides. As I mentioned, I wore it to the beach this day (here’s what the bikini looks like here without the skirt) and was comfortable running around chasing Crosby in the sand. What. A. Workout.

I also want to mention I’m currently doing a Beek Sandal giveaway on my instagram. I love these sandals so much. I’ve had this pair for over a year and whenever my girlfriend Shelby and I get together with our babies we seem to do a lot of walking. In the warmer months I always wear my Beeks for this and have never gotten a blister or been uncomfortable. We go to the beach and walk for miles sometimes. I love these sandals because they have a wooden sole and mold to your feet the more you wear them. They’re locally made in Newport and come in so many really cute styles. You can see them all here.

Even though summer doesn’t officially start until later this month, it kind of feels like it’s already here. We’ve had a blast of perfectly sunny weather which has felt especially nice after a gloomy May. We’re not out of the woods yet, June Gloom is a real thing around here, but I’m looking ahead to my favorite season… S U M M E R!
