good morning and happy FRIDAY!
the sun is shining, the weather has been fantastic, it’s a holiday weekend and this mama is all sorts of excited! when the kids get up, we’re grabbing some breakfast and then heading outta here to head to a park + splash pad for a twin play date which is the perfect way to kick off the long weekend. before we head out, i wanted to stop by for a super quick roundup of friday favs! i hadn’t gotten around to throwing these up for a few months and honestly missed sharing super simple things that made me smile… as always, it always is fun to hear what’s making you smile too, so leave a comment or drop me a message below!

sprinkler + outside fun
with the warmer temps, i’ve been throwing the kids outside every chance i get to burn some of that energy off. i love to be outside and all that running around makes for super sleepy babes. we live on quite a bit of land and zach built the coolest playground area for them to play on last year so throw in a few water tables, a blow up pool, the sprinkler {picture above!} and space to run and it’s a toddler heaven. heck, it’s just as amazing for us too! the girls love going on scavenger hunts through the fields, running around like crazy people and even mills is having the time of his life!!! bring on summer time because it’s going to be the BEST one yet!!

i’ve been finally getting back into the workout routine and it feels awesome! i really didn’t want to go this morning. like really. but when my workout buddy texted me to make sure we were on and i said i was cool with sleeping in…she kicked my tush into gear so i rolled on out and threw my shoes on. i normally am a morning person, but with toddlers in our bed multiple times {like 5} through the night + a way too late bed time… anyways, glad i did it!

arctic zone rolling cooler
i snagged this cooler a couple weeks ago at sam’s club and have been really excited about it! zach’s parents gifted the girls pool passes for their birthday this year {isn’t that a good idea?!?!} and it’s the best size!! i love the little containers that come with it as well.. it’s going to be perfect for hauling snacks/lunches this summer. i actually packed it earlier this morning with pb+j’s, grapes/blueberries, snap peas, waters for the splash pad and there’s still loads of room. throw some diapers/wipes in the front pocket, a change of clothes in a ziploc and i can ditch the diaper bag too.

french braids
after watching waaay too many youtube videos, i finally got the hang of piper’s french braids! don’t get me wrong…they’re not great, but. it’s a step in the right direction! {this is the better side…the other one didn’t turn out so great, ha!} i’m not sure if there’s anything cuter than little girls in braids so i’ll be practicing!

nature valley biscuits
ohhh my gosh. zach threw these in the cart at sam’s club a week or so ago…actually, i have the cinnamon kind with almond butter, but holy guac. you need to try these. i’m hoping they’ll hold up in the summer heat because these will be the perfect afternoon snack for that extra boost in energy!
i hear little chatter coming from the bedrooms so it’s time for me kick it into high gear here!!
have a WONDERFUL weekend and stay safe!! hoping for some sunshine your way!
