Packing For Arizona

I'm so excited to be sharing with you some of my very favorites that I'm packing to take to Arizona. I am attending The Savvy Experience (Conference) but when I'm not learning, likely I will be in the pool. I am obsessed with pool floaties... I have a ton and can't seem to stop buying them! I'm bringing ALL these pictured above and a few more. (Heehee) I also love this beach towel- I sell them in my SHOP! They are super light in weight which makes them easy to pack but also adsorb water real well. I can hardly wait to share my experience with you! Have a wonderful weekend.

Fair Food + Rodeo

Clackamas County Fair is one of my most favorite summer events EVER! I went as a child and it brings back wonderful childhood memories. I was in 4-H- showing my horse was my favorite summer time event. The County Fair is what we worked hard all year to get to. The smell of the dirt, the fair food & the carnival rides was always an extra bonus. This year, the kids and I attended the Fair- tasting all sorts of fair food... Corn Dog, Elephant Ear, Frozen Lemonade, Milk Shake, Ice Cream. Ugh! I know crazy right? But so FUN! We walked around and looked at every animal we also rode on carnival rides (well, I watched) Then ended our wonderful … [Read more...]

Weekend on the Lake

Finally, the weather got warm enough and we hit the river. What a FUN weekend! We meet friends on the river and had such a FUN weekend! … [Read more...]
