"Can I have a snack?"

-
"Can I have a snack?" Number 1 phrase every parent heard ALL. Summer. Long!!! While the amount of times I hear this per day has decreased dramatically now that school is in session, I'm not in the clear yet with two little's still at home. Luckily for me, I love to snack prep! I also really love organized little snack containers! There is no better time to buy them than back to school time or right after school starts back and they go on clearance. There's also no better time to stock up on snacks!! (*insert picture of my 3 30 oz boxes of Goldfish) I'm totally the person that can't pass up on a good deal, just ask my husband.

The favorite snack in our house is hands down Fresh Fruit! We go through so much fruit in a week it is unreal! I always try to buy locally grown fresh fruit and veggies because there is such a difference in quality and taste. Summertime is so great for that and we love hitting up roadside stands, farmers markets, or just picking the locally bought product at our neighborhood markets. 


Okay waffles and nutella are a go to of mine in the morning as well, especially with cut up strawberries and bananas on top. YUM! Nutella on anything at anytime of the day or night are a total win
.








We also love messy foods... okay "we" really is my kids and I just give in because I'm a sucker for their cute little faces. Also it's typically a fast and easy food to prepare. As much as I'd love to say we all love our veggies, I swear my kids go through stages. Some weeks we LOVE them and that's all they will eat... other weeks they go through a 'veggies belong on the floor' stage. Which is why I keep telling my husband that we NEED a pet pig! If you see him and want to casually (or bluntly, I don't care how you do it as long as it gets done) tell him we need a pig, I'll love you forever!

The Best Way to Enter Summer

 In case you weren't clued in by my name; I love the Summer. My birthday is in the Summer (which is how I got my name), I love being outside in the sunshine, and the kids are out of school which means we get to SLEEP INNNNN! There are BBQs and ice cream all the time, campfires, beach trips, I mean the list of reasons why I love the summer go on and on!  The list of reasons why I don't love the summer can pretty much be summed up into one thing... it's HOT! If you're in the south like me then there is no relief from the heat. Even being in the shade is still so hot (thanks humidity!). Having a place to swim in the summer is so important. Unlike some of my southern friends, I'm not a huge fan of swimming at the lake or river.  So when Tryazon emailed me about the opportunity to try out The Coleman Power Steel Swim Vista Series II from Bestway, I of course said Yes!  This pool has so many awesome features like it's steel frame (which is rust and corrosion resistant...

Squaregles from Santa

 Santa came early this year! Okay, it wasn't Santa, it was Squaregles and Tryazon, but I am sure that Santa will be getting plenty of lists requesting Squaregles this year.  Anytime someone says they have a toy that will keep my kids off electronics I'm first in line to try it. As an Engineer, my husband is very passionate about our kids playing with toys that promote STEM learning and creative thinking. As a stay-at-home, I am just passionate about anything that will keep my kids busy and allow me to clean the kitchen, put away some laundry, or let's be honest, let me read a few chapters of my current book.  Building toys are one of my kid's favorites, blocks, Legos, and magnetic tiles are always a go-to for them. I was curious to see what made Squaregles different from other magnetic tiles on the market. When I tell you that co-founders Joe and Noah put so much thought into their toy I mean it.  Squaregles are larger pieces and have stronger magnets than other tile...

Everyone needs a little IndestrucTable

 I know I am not the only one who always needs a little more room when working on a craft or doing a project with kids. For the longest time, we had a little kid table with 4 pipe legs that you could unscrew and snap into the back of the table. It took a lot of muscle to snap those legs in and out of the table and several minutes to undo it all and screw the legs back into the table. Worse yet was when my boys would steal a leg of the table when I was in the middle of set up or take down and would hit someone with it. Needless to say, that table wasn't working for our family, and took a trip to Goodwill one day. Even though I loved having a small additional table that my kids could use, it wasn't worth it to keep it around.  Then I found the Iceberg IndestrucTable, thanks to Tryazon! It is lightweight, easy to set up and take down, dent and scratch-resistant, easy to clean, and has 3 adjustable heights. I'm talking, about my 5-year-old son carrying it from my kitchen, up a ...
