Happenings at Home

Can you believe it is July! If I’m being honest I had to look at a calendar because I still thought we had another day in June. Ha. It truly snuck up on me. Do you have plans for the 4th of July? We plan to hang with family and friends at the pool and do some barbequing too and of course watch the fireworks!

This week both girls had camps. Grace had basketball camp with her high school team and Crosby had a summer dance intensive camp. Also, Hudson who has been living at home and attending CSU officially moved out this weekend and into a house with some of his buddies. Busy, busy! Easton is away coaching his youth basketball team.

I have been working on they yard (our hydrangeas are close and zinnias too) getting things ready for a Vintage Yard Market that I plan to have in our backyard later in July! I have so many items to sell and my mom and sister will be helping and contributing as well. Stay tuned for that date!

We have a very busy but exciting month of July! July is camp month and both girls are going to Camp Timberline this summer! This is a very special camp to us as both my sister and I were counselors for several summers (my sister attended herself) and the boys and Grace have all gone multiple summers! This will be Crosby’s first time going to the week long version up in Estes. She is over the moon excited. Her cousin Blaklee will be there too and my sister and I are so excited for them to experience all Things Camp T. Jesus, friends, sports, mountains and more. I’m honestly jealous, the place is magical. You can check it out here! We are so blessed because both sets of grandparents help send the kids to camp!

Next up, besides camp prep, I will be getting ready for Amazon Prime day which is on July 11th and 12th this month! I have so many amazing sales I can’t wait to share with you. It’s going to be so good! Plus stay tuned for garden updates on our zinnias, cosmos, hydrangeas and more!

This Week On The Blog

It was also a great week over on the blog! If you missed any of my posts you can scroll and browse them now.

My Monday Must Haves were on a summer break this week and instead I replaced it with a really fun post on How to Mod Podge Sea Shells for Decor! This was a simple and sweet DIY that took me all of 15 minutes. I can’t wait to try a variety of napkins pattens on other shells. But for now these patriotic ones are on display in our home!
