What I'm Reading (July 2018)

I know it feels like I just did one of these reviews (probably because I did), but I'm back to tell you about the 8 books I read in July.  Honestly, these were some of the best books that I've read all year and there is not a single one that doesn't need added to your list.  Go check them out now!

Mac & Mia Review

If you read my 5 Friday Faves last week, you will remember seeing this picture with the promise that I would be talking all about it soon!  That day is today!  I was approached earlier this month to try out Mac & Mia, which is a clothing subscription box service for kids sizes newborn - 10 years old!

I, of course, was all in because everyone knows my love of new clothes for my kids.  Since Kenna is getting ready to start preschool, I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to kickstart a new back-to-school wardrobe and I was not disappointed.

5 Friday Faves

Happy Friday!  Even though every single day in the summer is like a weekend to me, there is just something about Friday that will always be my favorite.  It has been foreverrrr since I've done a Friday Faves and I'm so excited about this one.  So many good things that you all need to check out below!

Water Beads (here) + Water Table (here) + Hair Bows (here)


I've been seeing multiple posts about these in the last couple of weeks and I thought it was finally time for the girls to try them out.  Amazon Prime to the rescue and I ordered them on Monday and they were on our doorstep yesterday afternoon (how did people survive before this service?). I promised Kenna and Teagen that we could get them out after their nap and they went down without any crying (insert praise hands here).  I decided to put them in their water table because I thought that would be the easiest way to keep them contained.  VERY IMPORTANT NOTE - make sure you put the beads in water prior to your children waking up from their nap.  I did not know that the beads took some time to fill up and after I read the instructions and it said to let it soak for 6ish hours, I was concerned.  We still decided to fill up the water table with them and they were playable within 15 minutes I would say.  Kenna has an attention span of a nat and she played with them for maybe 12 seconds but Teagen loved them and I had to end up dragging her inside because she didn't want to put them down.  I would say they were definitely work the $11 and the best part is that they are reusable.
