the Friday five

1. Dress obsessed. I LOVE the fit of this dress. It has become my go to summer dress. It’s comfy, I think it can be dressed up or down and it is flattering. All the necessities in my book. I now own three, I love them so much.

The Monterey tank dress:

2. Date night. Our house is a disaster. Like, woah. My parents (who are also moving…this is the second time we’ve moved at the same time as them) are living with us for two weeks. Their move sucks b/c there rental isn’t ready quite yet but they close on their house today…so they are homeless for two weeks. So my parents have had to lug half their crap to our house (amongst all our many boxes and chaos) only to lug it out again in two weeks into their rental. So yeah…my house is total chaos right now. We have LOTS of packing to do…three weeks out from closing. BUT, we are saying the HELL with it, tonight. Mikey and I are treating ourselves to a fancy date night…can’t wait.

3. We are counting down the days until our week long beach vacation. One of my favorite weeks of the year. Although it isn’t quite a “vacation” when you take three young children…spending a full week with my babies and husband is exactly what a vacation is to me these days. We will have no plans, no schedules, no work. We will hopefully have long days, lazy nights, and fun memories.

4. My boys had their first ever “camp/preschool” experience this week with church camp. MELT my heart. There were tears EVERY morning at drop off…BUT, good reports at the end of the day! It is a big transition for them as they have been going to Weezie’s (the lady who keeps my kids in her home) for the past two years and that is all they’ve ever known. They are going to start going to 2 year old preschool in the fall two days a week so I thought this would be a good little warm up for them. My precious stinkers, love them so.

5. House dreaming. We are still in the due diligence/inspection phase of this house process and nothing is final yet as the house has a LOT of issues, including asbestos. So, that could be a deal breaker b/c it’s expensive to have abated BUT that doesn’t stop me from dreaming. This is where my head is at for inspiration for our next house….
