Only two more days until the official start of summer! Of course it's already in the 90s here this week so I would say summer has already made it's entrance here in Maryland. (that's not a complaint, I'm happy for the warm weather after our long winter ;)
I picked up this pom pom cover up from Old Navy a few weeks ago and it's been perfect for our pool trips.
I got a medium because I want it to cover the bump all summer but I probably could have gotten away with a small normally. It makes the belly look extra fluffy.
Miller needed a new beach towel so I turned to my favorite place. Pottery Barn Kids. This cute guy this be arriving any day now... and yes it will be monogrammed.
If you have a Party City near you and are looking for cheap beach or pool toys this is the place to go! Everything in their beach/pool toy section is between $0.59-$3.00 which means if they lose it you won't be upset!
Both of these below are only $0.99 for set
We purchased new deck furniture and I'm obsessed. We went with the Strathwood Griffen Collection from Amazon after I spent many hours pouring over the reviews. (I'm a review junkie) We got the sofa, 2 chairs and the coffee table in the natural. We spent last Friday night out there just hanging out and listening to music and it seriously felt like we were on vacation. If you're in the market for new deck/patio furniture I highly suggest this set. The prices were great and you can't beat the neutral colors. We did purchase the covers for all the furniture which we keep on it when we're not using at the suggestion of other reviewers.
I have this thing for fun wine glasses in the summer. My sister gifted me this wine glass below for my wedding shower 5 years ago- can't believe it's been that long- and I try to use it every chance I get.
I am not going to lie I am sad to be missing another summer enjoying summer drinks! Even though I had Miller at the end of June you don't really get to enjoy alcohol with a newborn and no sleep. I am dying for a Summer Shandy or a Blue Moon...
I've already asked Kyle to buy a case and store it until November so I can enjoy some post baby!

Summer shandy looks yummy!! I agree that you need to buy some and save it for after you deliver! I LOVE your outdoor couches, so pretty :)
ReplyDeleteThat is a super cute cover up and I love your outdoor furniture! SO nice to get outside and have a new "room" when it's warm out!
ReplyDeleteThat is SO good to know about Party City! We have our first beach trip coming up in about a month and I definitely need to pick up some sand-worthy toys for Kiernan. I'm drooling over that outdoor couch, you have NO idea. I will drink a summer shandy for you this weekend ;)
ReplyDeleteThat cover up is so cute and look great!!
ReplyDeleteLove PB kids towels and I just purchased several little sand pail sets at Party City for party favors!! Great prices!
ReplyDeleteI love the outdoor furniture and I am glad ya'll are enjoying it so much as a family! Cute cute cover-up, too! But, ps, I think my favorite part is little Miller in the floor of the dressing room as that is what real life as a mom is!! :)
ReplyDeleteI was so tempted by that pom-pom cover up. It's adorable! Summer shandy sounds like perfect adult bev for this weekend I'm thinking ;)
ReplyDeleteI missed alcohol in the summer too with my pregnancies! Have you tried non alcoholic beer--- It takes the edge off, I think. Becks is good... or I just had lots of club soda with spritzes of juice.
ReplyDeleteStop by and say hi http://itsagirlgirlworld.blogspot.com
That outdoor set is fantastic! I've never thought to browse furniture on Amazon, but clearly that was a mistake!! And you got a killer deal, outdoor furniture is like bonkers expensive!
ReplyDeleteI love that cute cover-up!
ReplyDeleteThe new furniture is exciting...my grandmother passed us a really nice wicker couch. It is in need of a fresh coat of paint and updated (aka non 1960s) cushions, but otherwise is in great shape!
Love your new outdoor furniture! I agree - summer really does call for cocktails. I picked up some Becks NA a couple weeks ago because I wanted a beer so badly. It was really tasty and almost satisfied the beer craving.
ReplyDeletehaha, I bought the SAME coverup...I should have ordered the medium, I think I'll be sending it back! I ordered my regular size b/c a friend said it had plenty of space....not for this big belly! And I'm doing a name post too! I haven't even read yours but just scrolled to see what you were thinking...I LOVE picking out names!
ReplyDeleteI wish they had mediums when I bought it, only Large's but I figured with my boobs it would work :)
ReplyDeleteLove the outdoor furniture! I would love to see a deck view! The cover up is adorable and what a great deal at party city. I love pbk towels too!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh you're just the cutest! Great tip on those beach toys - so fun! And I looooove your outdoor furniture -gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLove everything you posted here! And you look SO cute in that coverup!! Thanks for the great tip about Party City because I never would have thought to have looked there! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteOkay so I'm obsessing over your deck furniture. I love it!! I just can't bring myself to spend the money. I'm such a diy type person when it comes time to invest in furniture. It could still be the college kid in me;) haha
ReplyDeleteLove that cover up! Can't believe it's Old navy! Do you have any Lolita wine glasses? If not look them up. They're hand painted and all have a theme. You're looking too cute!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE those hand painted wine glasses!!! So cute!! Wish I could find them somewhere!
