Happy Friday one and all! How has your week been? Ours has been full, so here’s to the weekend and slowing down.
[one] New Swimsuit!
I got a new swimsuit! Last week I ordered this long torso color block one from J. Crew and I got it in the mail this week. I love it. It has a removable halter strap that isn’t in the picture. Given that I’ll be wearing this while chasing my boys around the pool I will be wearing the strap for sure. We go swimming a couple of times a week at the Y and I’ve been needing a new suit. The fit of this one is very flattering. It’s my first one piece in years and years but the long torso option means it actually fits. I also love the bright blue color near my face. Clearly this picture is the model and not me. You’ll just have to trust me when I say it’s flattering because there’s no way I will ever post a picture of me in a swimsuit.
[two] Bug Sensory Bin & Bug Hunt
I shared all about our bug sensory bin and bug hunt activities yesterday. My boys have been playing with the sensory bin almost non-stop. Be sure to check it out to grab the free bug printables and learn how to make your own!
[three] Back to School Shopping
My son’s list for kindergarten was not too big and we did the shopping this past week. Because the list was so short I did not feel the need to shop around a bunch or wait for sales. Seriously, it had 8 items on it and we already had 2 of them. It’s all packed up and ready to go. I feel oddly prepared now. And I did not cry this year, unlike last year. Maybe I won’t cry on the first day either. Yeah right 🙂
[four] First Day of School Signs
The first day of school is only a couple of weeks away! I made this year’s first day of school signs and I shared them on Tuesday just in case you’d like some for your first day pictures too.
[five] 3!!!
My baby is almost 3! Still gonna call him my baby. I’m thinking about getting him a sand table for his birthday. Any suggestions/recommendations from those of you who have one? I’m thinking something like this one or this one.
What are your plans for the weekend? I hope you have a great one!

Love the suit and your Bug Bin! We did a similar one with Bugs and homemade dirt. So much fun! When is your son's birthday? Lily turns 5 on August 3rd and Liam turns 3 on August 18th. Too soon! I actually posted about Liam's new sand/water table in my favorites today. We gave him the Step 2 Cascading Cove Sand & Water Table as an early birthday present. It's perfect for a boy! It even has a little car track going around the outside, along with bridges. Check Sam's Club. They had them a few weeks ago for under $50!

I'm sorry but I'm super guarded about the boys' privacy so I don't post their exact birth dates or names, etc on the blog. But it's soon :) I'm popping over to see your sand table. My mom sent me a list of a couple to look at and I think that was one of them. Thanks for the tip!

Love that bathingsuit! I got a similar one from J Crew a few months back and I love it! Have a great weekend

Good to hear! I've heard the suits are a good quality so I'm excited.

That suit is super cute. I looked and looked and LOOKED for one I like this year but never found a thing. UGH!

That is so frustrating! I had been looking for some time so I was glad to find it.
