I haven't meal planned in two weeks and the difference in our schedule and routine is kind of cringeworthy! So, if you were ever on a meal planning ledge of "should I or shouldn't I? You should. Trust me.
Beach season is officially happening here on the southern east coast! Since we're always at the beach or the pool, I keep a bag packed and ready to go whenever the whim strikes. I try to keep our essentials all together in one place so that it's easy to find and easy to put back away (this is KEY for my family!). Our pool needs are a little different than our beach needs so I keep two bags packed and I thought I'd share our favorite beach must-haves.

Every year. Every single year when May rolls around, we start spending our evenings at the beach. We do it just long enough before tourist season really kicks in and it reaffirms our love for the ocean. Got cranky kids? Drive 'em to the beach. Having a rough day? Go to the beach. It's healing on so many levels.
Here's to the start of another beach season. May it hold lots of sand, salt water, and plenty of trips to Rita's. ❤
It's Mother's Day week! We have a really calm week ahead of a fun weekend so I'm hoping to catch up on some things around the house and dream about creating a backyard oasis. I'm really excited to try this recipe so I threw it in the meal plan. I'm adding grilled chicken and I'm hoping it's the perfect addition to our summer food rotation (which is usually all things sandwiches and whatever we can throw on the grill!).
It's Sun-YAY! I'm so happy that this weekend has felt stretched out more so than rushed and short. I love nothing more than a weekend that is actually chill and let's you reset before the new week. I mean, parts of this weekend were the pits (like getting peed on - potty training is a whole new ballgame right now) but others (like dinner outside with my loves) were just what I needed.
Swim lessons, teacher appreciation week, ballet class, and playing catch up! It's going to be a busy week but it's full of sunshine so I think we'll make it through. 😉
