🐾 Friends…….meet Frodo. Frodo, meet our fri 🐾 Friends…….meet Frodo. Frodo, meet our friends. 🐾💕We adopted Frodo last week through the Rescue House here in San Diego (highly recommend for anyone local)…..and he’s already become the king of the house.💕I had a TON of pets growing up (cats, a dog, rabbits, lizards, fish, chickens)…..and I’m so excited that Lydia will get to have this experience.🐾Do you have a pet?
💕 Double tap if you wish you were swimming righ 💕 Double tap if you wish you were swimming right now……..’Tis the season.  When we bought our house, I envisioned Lydia having all her friends over to swim….and this summer? We are FINALLY getting to have all the pool party play dates we’d hoped for.I just added this bucket game to our pool toys and OMG it’s so much fun (Robbie and I have used it more than any of the kids, ha!)While we picked up the game, we also did a water check.  Just an FYI, Leslie’s also offers “always-free” water testing at all their locations. You bring in a sample of your water to any Leslie’s location for your free test, and they can help you come up with a plan to treat any issues.Well…..who wants to come over for a pool party?!?<LesliesPoolPartner>#Leslies #WeKnowPools #LesliesPoolSupplies, #LesliesPoolCare #LetsPool @lesliespoolcare

Marks.Just a reminder that dimples, veins, cellulite, and stretch marks are a normal part of a lived in body.Here’s to beach days, feeling free, and learning to let go of things that held us back.Is there something holding you back right now?
📚It’s…..COMING!⠀ ⠀ 🌙’Twas the nigh 📚It’s…..COMING!⠀⠀🌙’Twas the night before back to school and……..⠀⠀🗓Well? Do you have any special back to school traditions in your family?⠀⠀🛏<zulily partner> One of our favorites? We always pick out brand new pjs for First Day of School Eve.  I did this as a teacher too, as silly as it seems, it’s a fun way to celebrate and…..we all need new comfy pjs a few times a year anyways!⠀⠀🛍Want to start your own Back to School pjs tradition? These pjs are a KILLER deal in Zulily’s Back to School Shop that we helped curate (as in……less than the cost of a movie ticket which you never see for 100% cotton pjs).⠀⠀❤️I’m sharing a link in stories, and will be sharing a few more Back to School tradition ideas throughout the week!⠀⠀@zulily #zulilyfinds
