Weekend Wrap-up

The weather finally cleared up this weekend for us to take the girls to the pool. Eeks, that means my first time in a swim suit since having the baby. It definitely helped having a super cute one piece to fit into. It was also Lily first time at the pool. She cried going in the water at first but she loved it when she got used to it! Ava had a ball!



My latest fav, 5 min headband curls. And with a new fashionable headband :)


Ava and I made a run to get lunch. She said my hair looked pretty, how sweet :)


Voila! It doesn't get super curly, but just enough !


My Target finds! $1 beach themed coasters. Aren't they fun?


Sunday funday attire


Visited with grandpa and grandma. Ava loves to feed the koi.


My daddy's wild flowers are in full bloom!


And I end with my happy Lily.


She rolled over and was quite pleased herself!

Pinspired: 5 Minute Headband Curls

So I saw this picture on pinterest and it got me wondering if this trick would work on my straight-as-a-board fine hair.



Normally, I spend at least an hour curling my hair with a curling iron. But the minute I step outside its like I never curled my hair at all.

I love the beachy effortless wavy look but with my hair it either looks too curly q-ish or crimped.
This is the desired look.



I used this YouTube video to create the look.


I meant to take a picture earlier in the day when my curls were much more noticeable but I still like the hint of waviness rather than my every day straight boring hair.

I'll be using this trick all the time now! Thanks again Pinterest!

Summer Daze

Summer is here and that means playing in the yard, watermelon, boiled peanuts, poolside, and beach days!

AND these two loves!

Weekend in Review

It was rainy and cloudy all last week and I was afraid it would but a damper on weekend. Noah's cousins came in town and the weather actually turned out to be perfect! We went downtown to city market and ate at Vinnie Van GoGos and walked to the famous Leopold's for ice cream!

Lily has discovered her feet. She can't seem to keep them out of her mouth!


Ava eating her snacky and watching her shows :)

Today we walked up and down River Street and just got done eating low country boil. Now we are all cuddled up for a movie before we say good bye to our fun filled weekend.
