our summer playlist

Hi friends!! Hope you are having the BEST summer ever so far! 

We have been busy spending our days outdoors, eating lots of popsicles (these are our fav!), playing in the sprinkler, park hopping and enjoying the endless sunshine. The girls are all so tan and every day I envy their dark olive skin (which they definitely got from Dustin). Della is a little blondie, which is so much fun to see since her big sisters are brunettes and between her tan skin + wispy blonde hair it has me hoping Summer never ends. Olivia did ask me the other day, "When will Fall be here?" and although it feels so far away now, Summer is going by so much faster than I realized so I thought I better get back to the blog before any more time passed!! It has been so refreshing & rewarding to really step back and focus on my girls but I still love coming back to this space to share and for all of you who are still reading & following along, I so appreciate it!!

Whether we are playing inside or out, cooking breakfast, cleaning the house or grilling in the backyard, we almost always have music on and I thought it would be fun to share our Summer Playlist if you are on the search for some new tunes!! I often share my fav songs in my instastories and get asked for playlists. They are always heavy on the country but usually have a good mix of sounds + moods and we always find a way to dance to them. Poppy usually wakes up from her nap and says, "Mama, can you put music on for me?" and we dance together in the kitchen. One of those things I never want to forget. Find last year's Summer Playlist here. 

What has been the best part of your Summer this far?? One by one we have been crossing things off our Summer bucket list but still have so much left we want to do, including a backyard campout, more farmer's markets, a movie in the park and the long awaited state fair. Summer always goes by just a little too fast, so I am all for soaking up the moments + memories and all the sunshine I can get :)
