🌞Happy Summer!!🌞

We’ve been enjoying being super lazy with an occasional outing. I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again- this summer feels different. I’m cautiously optimistic that things are going back to “normal” and making the best decisions for our family. I hope all of you are doing well too.

I found a few memes 🤣 that made me chuckle. Hope it brings a smile to your face, too.

How is your summer so far? #uniquevintage #targetstyle #traderjoesflowers

Save this post about our beach day essentials!

Since the weather is warmer and being outdoors is good for the soul, we are going to make it a point to visit our favorite beach spots all summer!

Besides the basics like towels, water bottles, snacks, sunscreen, hat, and sunglasses I made a list of some other things we love taking on our beach trips.

⛺️ foldable beach tent- I have a love and hate relationship with the one I bought from @ikeausa thanks to @skye.makes.magic but once you figure out how to close it, it’s amazing. (YouTube videos help a TON 🤣)
🟨 A waterproof outdoor blanket- rather than using towels to lay on the sand, I’ve been bringing a waterproof outdoor blanket. We also use it during the year at parks. That way the towels can be used to dry off.
🏖 Sand toys- A LOVES playing with the sand so we have a sand toy set with shovels, buckets and molds that we always bring.
📔Blank notebook, colored pencils and pencil. I love taking a nature journal with us when we go on adventures and love the new one I bought from my friend @homeschoolingmoonchildren. It’s the perfect size and open ended so your kids can record whatever they want!

How about you? What do you take with you to the beach? #summertime #socalliving #crystalcovestatepark

It’s my face and I can wear a mask if I want to.

It’s my face and I can wear a mask if I want to. 😆

There’s lots of opinions circulating about mask mandates and the swiftness with which they did away with them in many places in California.

And honestly, if you look at numbers, we are in a good place. However, for those that cannot get vaccinated (kids and immunocompromised), it’s a tough place to be.

But if you think about it- you have choices and the ability go or not go to places where you don’t feel comfortable. So personally for myself, I probably won’t go anytime soon to places without a mask mandate indoors for my family.

I feel comfortable going to places because I am fully vaccinated. But I still have to think about it for my whole family. It’s kind of like last year when the pandemic started.

Anyway, be safe out there. Be kind to those that have to work in places where they have to enforce rules. And don’t go out when you are sick. I still think about when I was a teacher and parents would send their sick kids to school. 😖

Let me know how you’re feeling these days with everything! We’ve all been through so much the last year and a half!!! 💖

Do you like fanny packs? (AD)

Sharing with you a picture from a photoshoot I got to do with @buckledownproducts. The Signature D Monogram fanny pack I have on is available on #buckledownproducts’ website! I wore it the last time I went to Disneyland and loved it. It’s so roomy, lightweight and goes with everything! Check my stories for an affiliate link to purchase.

Would you wear it crossbody or around your waist? I like either way! #fannypack #disneyoutfit #disneyaccessories

Sometimes I just have to laugh to stop from living

Sometimes I just have to laugh to stop from living inside my head and overthinking things and becoming anxious about the unknown or the what if’s.

So sharing with you a few memes I’ve found from friends and online.

Have a wonderful Monday, friends. 🤩

🌈You’ve probably seen rainbows a lot this month. Rainbows symbolize such beautiful things to so many people.

❤️In the Christian faith, rainbows signify God’s promises to never destroy the Earth with a flood. It’s a sign of hope, peace, and God’s faithfulness to protect His people.
🧡Rainbow babies are those born to a family, after a loss. My sweet A is our rainbow baby (as I’ve shared before) and has brought such joy and healing into our lives.
💛When I see a rainbow after a storm, it brings a smile to my face and instantly makes me happy. And I always try to take a picture of it 🤣
💚The month of June is Pride month, in support of the LGBTQ community. Some of you here may support it fully while others of you do not.
💙I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again- regardless of your thoughts and opinions about it, be respectful and kind.
💜You don’t have to agree with how someone lives their life. We are all so different but that’s also what makes us so beautiful.

🌈The older I get, the more I realize how it’s such a waste of time to be so negative and make life harder for others and yourself.
🌈As human beings, I think we all just want to be loved and accepted for who we are.
🌈The past year and a half has been such a crazy ride.. and rather than jumping on movement after movement, let’s put words into actions in our lives.
🌈Be an ally and support your friends who are a part of these communities- whether they’re LGBTQ, Black, Asian, Latino, and if you don’t have any friends who are different than you- maybe start there. There is such beauty in diversity.

🌞Summer bucket list🌞

Do you have plans for the summer?

After being limited in what we felt comfortable doing (plus things were closed last summer), this summer we want to do a lot of local things safely!

Here’s our list of things we want to do:
🦕 Visit the @nhmla (we have membership) and see the butterfly pavilion. They also have something called “Science of SpongeBob” online with activities, videos and events!
🐠 Visit the @aquariumpacific. We used to have membership but it expired and we never went back when they extended it when they reopened. But we love it there!
🏖 Lots of trips to the beach- especially the Crystal Cove Tidepools. And yes, my popup beach tent will be back 🤣😆 #iykyk
🌳 Park days- we love the @irvineparkrailroad- so much space and the #oczoo is there too.
🪐 @californiasciencecenter- their new FREE exhibit “Life Beginnings” opens on 6/18! They have free general admission- (make reservations online.)
🦁 @lazoo, @sdzsafaripark @sandiegozoo and whatever else we can find!

I feel a lot more hopeful and at peace this summer than last. We are still cautious because kids can’t get 💉. I’m not living in fear but just being mindful and also still enjoying a slower paced, quiet life.

What are your plans for the summer? #summerbucketlist #thingstodowithkids #summerplans #thingstodoinla #thingstodoinsocal
