Summer: Life Lately

SUMMER: What a beautiful, relaxing season meant for spending time outside, traveling, eating, laughing with friends and family, and staying up late. I feel very fortunate to have a career that allowed me to stay at home the past three months with my little girl and witness so many sweet, precious firsts. Nic and I had our first overnight stay this summer without Ava thanks to my parents and it was nice to getaway and not nearly as hard to leave her as I thought it might be… probably because both she and I were both ready! Our amazing babysitter also had Ava a couple of days a week which was so nice… I ran so many errands, actually went to Target by myself multiple times (which hadn’t happened since she was born, really), and Nic and I had a few day dates which was a bonus. Summer 2017, you were a sweet one!

+ I go through our toys every few months - if the girls don’t play with it, it gets handed down to family or donated. I find they play better when there are less options 🙌🏻 
+ I use target’s organization bins & storage cubes for nearly everything & each one has a designated place - one for Barbies, doll babies, calico critters, etc. ✔️
+ I expect the girls to clean this area up on their own but I will occasionally go through & make sure things are still organized in the best way - a little maintenance, if you will! 🤍 
+ things don’t have to be perfect! I show my playroom IRL sometimes on IG & it does NOT look like it does in this reel! 🥰 
+ I’ve linked all that I can on LTK 😘
