This week the focus has changed from tearing down the old kitchen to beginning to build up the new! yay!
There was a lot of preps for walls, wiring, etc. all through out the week. and then on the weekend the guys did the flooring! and I just love it!!
We bought a bamboo plank flooring from a sale at lumber liquidators. I love how it feels on bare feet. And I think the color is very peaceful!
My favorite thing about seeing the flooring in, is that I’m finally able to see our vision coming to life. AND it seems to be working! hahaha what do you know? I might actually be able to design a kitchen!! 🙂 *At the very least pick awesome floors! And now it feels like the rest is on it’s way! So, that’s exciting too!
 It’s hard to show the actual color in a picture but these ones are pretty close I think.
It was a hard day of work for the men and I’m so thankful for all the help!
Here they are pretty excited about the final piece!!
 Â
The boys have had a lot of fun with all this extra space and I enjoyed playing with them on the new floors, they are so nice!
In other news….
It’s beginning to feel a lot like summer around here (the guys had to work through some 100+ days already, YIKES)
The boys are pretty excited about our new swimming pool, though they didn’t think they could survive the anticipation as we set it up!
 We were given this pool, it’s an Intex and is really nice!
You can order them on amazon, check it out here
And my Mom made the boys a sand tent this week!!
It’s pretty awesome! The boys love it! And I like that I can zip it up when they aren’t playing in it!
 If you’d like to make your own the tents themselves are pretty inexpensive!
Walmart has some on sale right now
This barnyard tent is so cute! and there are lots of other designs to choose from too!

It’s vacation season!! yay!
We haven’t done much vacationing as a family yet so there are some items we just need to invest in for this and  future trips..Just in case you need to upgrade some traveling “necessities” here’s a fun handy list!
sleeping bags (or I guess their new name is “slumber bags”? weird)
Suite case organization?? yes please!
Amazon.com
I just think those are so awesome!
For the kids suitcases I decided to try this idea… and I’m kind of in love with this plan!!
Each bag has a shirt, pants, and either a diaper or undies (depending on child) for the day!
then because we are talking about the children there is an “extras” bag for each.
I am really excited to try this on our next trip, I really think it will eliminate some of the unorganized frustration of living out of a suitcase for a few days! AND a big plus will be if anyone wants to help me get boys dressed during the day it will be easy for anyone to find what they need! 🙂
need suite cases? Amazon has some great options!

These pinterest ideas for organization are Ah-mazing!!
I just love lists!! These help me keep all my thoughts in one place as I think about all the things each person needs!
And this probably goes without saying but I’ll say it anyways 🙂 It’s always a good idea to check local weather at your destination before you pack!
And if you don’t have a vacation planned yet, Don’t forget about Groupon Getaways!
Whatever you do this summer, wherever you go, I hope you stay safe, have fun, and make memories!
Rotita is one of those stores you see advertised on facebook and google. You know, I never know what to think about those kind of shops but they had some cute things so I took a chance….
I bought a bathing suite for this summer since I need one that actually fits 😉 and not quite ready to invest in an expensive one just yet since I’m still “shrinking”
It has arrived.. first of all you must know that this comes from china and so shipping can take a while, so be patient!
Second, be sure to measure yourself and not just guess your size when ordering through sites like these because they are foreign sizes most of the time….
The material is definitely not super high-grade, but of course I knew that I was getting a $24.00 suite not one that costs $150.00. So I wasn’t surprised… still it is good enough, pretty cute and I am happy with my purchase! I think it fits well and I hope to order some of the other cute things I’ve seen on their site soon!
They have lots of summer dresses, cover ups and things that look really fun!
