💫 #ad What’s your favorite thing to do on a lazy summer night? 💫⠀
⠀
These days we’re all about sitting on the edge of the pool, listening to music and eating homemade ice cream sundaes made with @Lactaid Ice Cream. Since Sesame Street has been CRUSHING IT this summer and reminding us how much we love all their residents, tonight’s special sometimes food treat, an ice cream sundae, was inspired by MY favorite @SesameStreet regular – who doesn’t love Cookie Monster?!?⠀
⠀
This sundae makes me look about a million times better at food art than I am thanks to the sprinkles and marshmallow eyes. But the best part? Even with my sensitive stomach, I can eat this LACTAID Vanilla Ice Cream. Like all LACTAID products, it’s made with 100% real milk, just without the lactose. If you’re on the hunt for ice cream for YOUR sensitive stomach, the Cookies & Cream is also DELISH.⠀
⠀
Now, bonus if you can spot Lydia’s wiggly tooth in this picture. Between that and her wet hair braided to dry after a day of swimming....this might be my favorite picture of the summer!⠀

🌊 "But this does not define you…...You know who you are”🌊⠀
⠀
Stop. Drop. And leave a compliment for yourself in the comments. Yes, I’m serious. Tell me one thing you love about yourself. We are so quick to listen to the negative self talk we’ve all picked up over the years. This is your reminder that you are beautiful, you are worthy, and you are…..a goddess.⠀
⠀
My friends @happiestdentist and @thedisneybound are talking about motivational songs today and this one? Anyone else tear up watching Moana for the first time when you heard it? This is my loosely inspired TeFiti look, and it’s basically making me crave a trip to the islands stat.⠀

🎂Are you a Birthday DAY or a Birthday MONTH type of person? Truth?🎂⠀
⠀
I’m a birthday month person, I love a celebration. Mine is in 6 days and I can’t wait to celebrate even if it’s a three person party in our backyard (this bbq area is basically our dinner spot ANYWAYS so why not make a party of it?). ⠀
⠀
Three truths in this photo: ⠀
1) she sang “Happy Birthday CARLY” here, not “Happy Birthday Mommy” and her teenage years flashed before my eyes ⠀
2) I made my own cupcakes for this birthday practice run, and I’m not even ashamed ⠀
3) We used Bob’s Red Mill coconut flour in these coconut cupcakes (we wanted to share them from a safe distance with our neighbors and they don’t do gluten) and I was so surprised at how well it baked in this recipe, seriously perfection! I highly suggest this for any dense cake that you want to make without gluten. Perfect for your own summer BBQ desserts!⠀

⚽️Have you played with your kids lately? I’m talking, kick a ball and run around type of play!⚽️⠀
⠀
This? An opportunity to play with your kids, and give back at the same time (in my book, it doesn’t get better than this). I’m teaming up with Honey Bunches of Oats® and Feed the Children to share their #ScoreForMore program. We all know that too many children in our country live with hunger on a daily basis (in fact it’s 1 in 7).⠀
⠀
Feed the Children is an amazing organization that is serving those children in need every day. And right now? I’ve got the easiest way in the world to help them. Post a picture of you or your kids (and you AND your kids) scoring a goal and use #ScoreForMore on IG, FB or Twitter. For every photo posted with the hashtag, Honey Bunches of Oats will be donating $100 to Feed the Children. Easy right? Now your assignment for this weekend? Take that goal photo! I can’t wait to see them!⠀

👙There is no size requirement to wear a bikini

👙There is no size requirement to wear a bikini (double tap if you agree)👙⠀
⠀
Ahem family. Let’s chat. I have to be honest, this one took me a little longer to get to. Somehow, for a long time I still felt uncomfortable bearing my belly to the world. Now on a basic level, why? A strip of fabric on a suit? Does it really make a difference? I guess it was like a security blanket right?⠀
⠀
Here’s my Ted Talk for the day: wear the suit. wear a two piece. It’s freeing. Wear it in your backyard. Wear it to the beach. Wear it running through the sprinklers with your kids. Because guess what? You’ll realize it’s really not a big deal.⠀
⠀
Now, tell me how you feel about wearing a two piece. Let’s do this together!
