*this is what summer is made of.


*exposed chubby leggedness.



*sweaty headed tractor riding.



*babysitting uncle Andrew and aunt Mel when in actuality they’re occupying my own kids.  this bumps me into the genius category.





*drinking water like i'm getting paid for it.  and then replacing that water with this iced spiced mandarin orange goodness sent straight from tea heaven.



*putting a method to my madness.  in between pool trips and park runs, i scrub my house to petition for the mrs. cleaver award.  plus, i’d hate to have it sunny and beautiful outside, while stinky and icky inside.



*picnics created all by the cute sunken knuckle hand of my two year old mister just for his little sister.



*loads of grass mowing by an absolutely handsome man...  thank you daddy.  and thank you Hunter for trying.



*any variety of meat cooked on the grill with a side of juicy fresh fruit.

*chlorine stained hair.

*pure, fancy-free bliss.  

i'd say that summer is my favorite.  





i'm linking up today with my sweet friend, rachel ~

Love it!!!

I remember when I used to babysit Hannah and Chloe's Aunt Abby {my little sis} when she was in 4th grade. That summer was super easy. :) So yes, you are a genius.

Love Method Cleaning products. Between that and 7th Generation that's pretty much all I use.

Thank you my sweet friend {in return} for linking up.

Love those sweaty summer heads :) And your obsession with cleaning products and keeping your house spotless? You are welcome to visit my house next! There is never a lack of places to clean....

Chubby baby legs are the best, I agree -- I've always wondered though at what age chubby legs go from being adorable to deplorable?? :)

Have a great weekend!

Your kiddos are so sweet! I love those little legs and the lawn mowing helper. :) And summer play dates (both aunts/uncles or just friends) really ARE great. Win-win for all. :)

Summer is def my favorite too!! So far we have had terrible weather and summer is nowhere to be seen...don't want to make you cry or anything ;) but I bet you miss the gorgeous sweetness of California summers...
I've been so busy and haven't checked up on you in a while, but can't believe how big Hunter and Sage are getting!!
