TALK ABOUT IT TUESDAY {JULY 2022}
On the last Tuesday of every month I do Talk About It Tuesday. It’s a little food, a little family, a little what we’re wearing, a little what we’re doing, a little what we’re watching and a little bit of everything else all in one post.
We are soaking up every bit of warm weather and so if the sun is out in the evening, you know that means we are grilling something!
Two of our favorites to grill during the summer are BBQ Grilled Vegetables (zuchinni, squash, mushrooms, asparagus, green beans) and Honey Lime Grilled Shrimp (or chicken!).
I decided for this question that I’d take a trip down memory lane and look back at the same month from the year before.
I love this question every month because I get to look back at my babies! As I was going through my photos from July 2021, almost all of them are outside, playing in the backyard and just enjoying the freedom of summer!
Korben got to get acquainted with the “pool” since all of ours were still very restricted with Covid protocols. Jack started learning how to ride a bike, which we are still working on. We celebrated the Fourth of July in our neighborhood with lots of fireworks and food. Toward the end of the month, Sean wanted to do some special one-on-one things with Jack before he started Kindergarten. They went lots of places but getting to go to Scheels and get his first “real Lego set” was a big highlight! We finished the month off with a big trip to Target for ALL the school supplies!
THIS VIEW! My boys playing together in the backyard. It’s what my summer dreams are made of.
July has been FULL of Family and Friends!
We went to Texas for a week for a wedding, have had loads of playdates and park days, and Mama J (my mom) is here till the end of the month. This weekend we hit up the county fair and had so much fun as a family!
Taking my Mama back to the airport at the end of the week. We know she has to get back home for a while but we sure do miss her when she’s not here!
ALL things Back to School!
Back to School!!
I love my children and I love everything about summer, but the very Type=A person that I am starts to get a little wonky at the beginning of August. I’m definitely ready for the rhythm and routine that the school year brings.
The Terminal List on Amazon Prime - It pulls at all the heart strings and keeps you on the edge of your seat till the very end.
Top Gun Maverick - Hubby and I finally got to have a date night to see it earlier this month. Nothing will ever be as classic as the original, but we absolutely loved it!
Where the Crawdads Sing - My mom and I snuck away while the kids were napping this weekend (obviously hubby was home) to see this and it was absolutely brilliant. I have not read the book but my mom has and she said it was very close to it.
Virgin River - I’ve only gotten to watch about 30 minutes of the first episode but I can’t wait to finish it!
The soundtrack of my life….kid’s tv shows. Did you know there’s a new season of Dino Ranch?! Thank you Jesus!
I’ve had this leopard print skirt on repeat! So many different ways to style it.
Hubby is planning to take Jack to see Superpets this weekend, but other than that we plan on soaking up the last bit of free weekends before school starts.
I’m looking forward to getting back to the rhythm and routine that the school year brings. My boys love school/pre-school and both are alot like me, in that they thrive when there is structure and routine in place. There’s also just so much excitement and anticipation around the beginning of the school year!
