Friday Five Summer Must Have's

Happy Happy Friday
Linking up with some lovely ladies today.



I'm loving this warm week and excited to a quick weekend get-a-way
to good ole Tally
So excited to share this special place with P.

In preparation I'm sharing 5 of my favorites for this Spring/Summer...

one.
first and foremost we have to protect ourselves
Especially in our bungalow, lots of pale skin here.

In order to protect your skin from the sun's damaging UVA and UVB rays you should wear a Broad Spectrum Sunscreen every day.

I've found this is by far my favorite and works like a charm.
Find it here.

two.
Just purchased these Jack Roger Jelly's yesterday and can not wait for them to arrive.
Gotta have a pair of Jelly Sandals for Spring Break! #lovemyjacks

three.
I wish this Packable Wide Bow Sunhat was in stock....
Packable Wide Bow Sunhat
if anyone knows where to find it please let me know.
Just discovered this site Tuckernuck, love everything.

four.
a classic summer sundress.
can be thrown on and dressed up or down
picked up this lovely blue find at JCrew Factory for a steal.
Factory tank dress

five.
last but certainly not least
summer beverage
Watermelon Margaritas | 28 Big-Batch Summer Drinks That Know How To Get Down
can't go wrong with a watermelon margarita!

Cheers to a great weekend.

An Easter to Remember

I wish we could relive last weekend all over again.
We had such a blessed Easter.

P had her first ever Easter egg hunt at school Friday.
Followed by Saturday Breakfast with the Bunny and Hunt at Church.
To say she enjoys hunting 'Easter Balls' as she calls them would be an understatement.
She's pretty amazing and was definitely no scared to wander over to the big kid area during the hunt.

Loved her sweet spirit as she was so focused on collecting.
We filled our basket then dumped it out and filled it up again.

And the new discovery was chocolate.
We love some chocolate.
Kisses and Twix were the  favorites.

So here's a little photo overload.









Sunday we got to church EARLY. 
It was certainly an Easter miracle to get ready, to church, in the nursery and in our seats before the service began.  After of course the precious Easter basket delivered by the bunny himself.



One regret, we failed at taking a nice family photo.
Totally unflattering family pic.

best of the worst.



Sunday we enjoyed supper at my parents and our own little egg hunt.



Hope you all enjoyed fellowship with friends and family over suck a special weekend.

Cheers

Good Friday

Resurrection weekend is upon us.

Sharing my favorites of the season...

"They put a purple robe on him, then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on him." ~ Mark 15:17

1 Peter  3:18
For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God.  He was put to death in the body but made alive by the Spirit

"Many years ago, the greatest love of all walked this very earth. Jesus. He came to pay a debt that He didn't even owe. A debt of sin - our sins and our debt...God knew humanity needed restoration, so he sent a Savior. Jesus came and in the greatest display of love ever shown, sacrificed His own life to save ours..."

John 1:29
Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world

Hebrews 12:2
fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Have to share one extra this Good Friday...
The angel said to the women, 'Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.' (Matthew 28:5-6, NIV)

I hope everyone enjoys a blessed and joyous Easter weekend.

Easter Supper

How is it Thursday already
Finally making my shopping list for our Easter Supper

Since P has come around I am all about better establishing our family traditions.
This Easter is the first in maybe 10 years that the Mr. will be home.
Last year we woke poor P up around 5:30 to give for the Easter Bunny reveal before the Mr. left for work.

This year I am SO excited to attend church together.
Go home and pick up big brother, Hendrix, and head out to my parents.
We will hopefully enjoy some nice weather. 
Maybe hide a few eggs in the yard.
And have family supper.

This year's menu according to me.
{my Dad likes to go overboard and throw a few things in at the last minute}

Deviled Eggs
wouldn't be Easter without them
Best-Ever Deviled Eggs. Can't beat them on an Easter menu! A classic.
