good deal

I had to share this deal for my friends who love good shoes and want to save some money on them. TinySoles is offering $20 for $40 worth of shoes for kids. I would say most of their shoes are around $40 so you are basically getting a great pair for half off or saving $20 on your purchase. See the deal here.

vbs

My kids are at VBS (Vacation Bible School) this week and they are having a blast! Pandamania is the theme and it is so cute! I should have posted earlier this summer to remind all you parents how awesome VBS is and how many churches offer it for free or a low fee. It's such a special time for your kids and it's free time for you too. Many churches "sell out" of spots so remember to keep it on the radar next summer and ask around which churches have one. I love hearing what my kids learn about God every night. They say the cutest, sweetest and funniest things.

next project

While browsing Anthropologie the other day (that place is still a slice of heaven to me) we came across this lovely book, The Repurposed Library: 33 Craft Projects That Give Old Book New Life.

I have a love of books that I think came from the womb. In fact I have my own little library packed in boxes for the day I can build beautiful bookshelves. While browsing the pages my hubby and I came across this image below.

This beautiful book bookshelf is our next home project... isn't it beautiful? There were some other beauties too that we hopefully can recreate.

yummy yummy yummy

My friends always have the best treats (right Eva?).

blending

What do you do with those bananas that are getting old? You peel them, put them in a freezer bag and then use them to make yummy smoothies when the time is right! No ice needed. Today's smoothie was bananas, blueberries, a peach and some orange juice (yes I had to buy juice to make smoothies). My favorite summertime treat!

i can't wait

I had no idea that Forever 21 had little girls clothes! I walked into a store up in LA over the weekend and fell in love. Only bad part for me is that it looked like the smallest size was for a size 5 and my baby girl is a 3, but soon! Kids grow so quickly and for so many items it's great to have something fashionable and fun for less. I can't wait!

summer practice

Yesterday we went to the fair, which is a yearly tradition with my parents, and had lots of fun. These two pics really portray the fun we have been having this summer, doing lots of things and just being silly! I love the pic of my boys dancing and being themselves. Hope you are having a wonderful summer too.

kidz bop 20

We got the new Kidz Bop 20 CD last week and we are loving it! We have been listening to it over and over again. After the tenth time I realized I might like it more than the kids. It's really fun and I know the words are safe (you'll be able to catch where they changed a few words in some of the songs). Dance party in our car!

words

It was only a matter of time, I am now playing Words With Friends on my iPhone. I had avoided it on Facebook for quite awhile, seeing so many friends talking about it. But I gave in and now play against my husband even if he is downstairs! Who wants to play with me?

how i unwind

I am still in love with Pinterest. For me, pinning is a great way to unwind from a stressful day. If you love to collect ideas and images on a cork board for inspiration at home.... this is so much better! Here are some snapshots of what I have been pinning lately.
