Happy FRIDAY!
And happy long weekend 🙂


It is going to be HOT HOT HOT here for the next week so I am hoping to squeeze in some pool time this weekend. The girls attended their first pool party last weekend but were in the shade and then inside most of the time.  I need to get some little swimsuits for them and some of those covered floaties so they aren’t in the sun.  Any rec’s for floaties?!



I got so many questions about these little fans when I posted this to instagram – they are linked up in my Amazon shop. They are battery powered but re-chargable with a USB and work great.  We clip them on their strollers for morning walks (although now it’s going to be too hot to take them on walks unless we go REALLY early this next week!)

I placed a big order at H&M yesterday because I realllllllly need some more nursing/pumping friendly summer pieces.  I’ll let you know my favorites after they arrive!

….. I tried to order multiple sizes of things because I have no idea how their stuff will fit but assume it’s like Zara and Asos where it’s all over the map!
also, I got 20% off my entire order by creating an online account!

On last week’s Barefoot Contessa, Ina made these cacio e pepe puffs and I just cannot get over them.  I must have these.  When oh when will I find the time to make these.  Ina says “how easy is that” but Ina doesn’t have two babies taking over her life, so lemme tell ya, NOT THAT EASY INA.
