We have had the best weather for the past week. Every day it’s gotten a little warmer and better than the last. The kids and I (and Jeff when he’s not working) have been spending so much time in our backyard. I know how fortunate we are to have an outdoor space at a time like this and it’s something I’ll never take for granted. I want to share what activities we’ve been doing and what we’re looking forward to as well.

I got this water table for Wilder for his birthday and it’s been a big hit with both kids. It’s a great size and they both play with it such different ways. It’s really one of the only toys we have right now that they can play with and want to play with together. Such a win in my book. I usually put ours under one of our umbrellas but there’s a version (here) that comes with an attached umbrella as well.

This photo is from last summer…. Crosby loved the inflatable pool. Ours ended up getting a hole in it so I ordered a new one for this year. I think we’ll bring it out this weekend when Jeff can help play lifeguard. Wilder is such a water baby so I know he’ll love it just as much as his sister.

unicorn here and here

Another photo from last summer. Crosby got this 6 foot tall inflatable unicorn that hooks up to your hose for her 2nd birthday. Such a fun and easy way to entertain your kids on a hot day. If a unicorn isn’t up your alley I found some other similar options: rainbow, llama, watermelon, pineapple.

I also think a splash pad would be really fun for them.

The best way to dry off after all this water play, or just lounge is this double lounger. Both kids and Mackie love it!

Hope you’re having a good week – thank you for reading and following!

I’m such a warm weather girl and spring and summer are my favorite seasons. If it’s cool or rainy for any real length of time I’m not myself. Over the past couple of weeks I’ve gotten a few new spring pieces that I’m excited about. It’s been a little chilly here lately and all I want is for it to warm up so I can wear them!

dress, clutch, slides

I wore this dress to a mommy and me tea party a few weeks ago and then again on Mother’s Day. It’s such a fun statement. Mine was gifted by Allison New York and I can’t find it online, however Chicwish makes a version of it that looks practically identical which I’ve linked.

This top! It’s even prettier in person. I can’t wait to wear it with cutoffs this summer, but for now I wore it inside with my stretchiest pair of jeans and instantly felt happier.

dress c/o

The prettiest dress I’ve seen in awhile. This would work for so many occasions. Dressed up for a wedding, for a bridal or baby shower with wedges or more casually with a denim jacket and sneakers.

I wore this dress in Palm Springs a few weeks ago when our best friends got engaged. It’s such a cute mini with ruffles at the sleeves and hem. I went for “Palm Springs casual” with slides here but it’s also something that could be dressed up and worn to multiple occasions.

Another dress I absolutely love and can’t wait to wear out of  my house. You have to see the back of this one… it criss-crosses and laces up in the prettiest way.

I wore this fun green midi to a friend’s birthday at a bar a few weeks ago. It was actually Jeff and my first time away from both kids since we had Wilder and I definitely enjoyed that glass of rose. Midi skirts have really been having a moment lately and I love that this one is a little different. The green is so fun for summer.

When packing for a trip, there are a few things that I’ve been bringing with me lately. My staples are neutral pieces that can be worn different ways so I have lots of options, comfortable shoes and Jergens^® Natural Glow^® +FIRMING Daily Moisturizer. I love this one because not only does it give me a sun-kissed glow, but it’s also clinically proven to reduce the appearance of cellulite in as little as seven days.

I’ve been gradually building my summer tan with Jergens^® Natural Glow® products. I have been enjoying the added benefits of the FIRMING Daily Moisturizer, and I have incorporated it into my routine in the past few weeks. In as little as seven days I’ve already noticed a difference, which is so welcomed after a few over-indulgent winter months. I made sure to pack it along for a recent trip up the coast so I could reapply daily to keep my glow going strong.

Jergens^® Natural Glow^® Products allow you to build your glow gradually or get a quick boost of color. No vacation days required.

I feel my best when I’m tan. However, now that I’m over 30, I know just how dangerous sun damage and all that comes with tan skin is. Luckily there are options to maintain a healthy sunless tan. I was so excited to try out Jergens® Natural Glow® FACE Daily Moisturizer with Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 20. It gradually creates a flawless, natural-looking color; specially formulated for use on your face and it contains SPF 20! Be sure to follow the package directions for the best sun protection.

I’ve never really used one I liked before so I went in with low expectations. Let me just say that this one leaves me feeling like I spent a week on a tropical vacation. Often I’ll use a self-tanner on my body and not my face, but feel mismatched. Jergens® Natural Glow® is the answer to my problems!

I plan on incorporating this into my spring and summer beauty routine, because being tan shouldn’t be limited to vacations. #amiright?
