Oh my goodness. Can you believe that we are in August already? This entire year has just flown by. I’ve been meaning to start a monthly family favorites since the beginning of the year but… such is life.
I always see these family favorite posts and videos and I thought how fun would it be to share out family favorites with all of you! There are half of a dozen of us after all;)
I’ll be sharing my family favorites from each of us at the end of every month from now on, and sharing my beauty favorites every other month as well.
Make sure to come back next Thursday for my new monthly beauty favorites!

Me: I have been loving swimsuits this month. I have honestly ordered around 5 cute, one-piece suits to find one that I love. Sadly, all but one of them were returned (thank you mom boobs). But, I a fantastic one-piece suit that is still “sexy” is on my list for “pool must haves” when we go to Vegas in the middle of August. My favorite new wine that I have tried this month is the Hive and Honey Riesling I reviewed a few weeks ago. While white wines normally aren’t my go-to, this is perfect for an end-of-summer barbecue or girls lunch out in the sun.
The Hubs: My husband loves his new backpack/computer bag that he found off of Amazon, OXA Vintage Travel Backpack
. He thinks its a “super hipster bag”. It’s actually really nice quality and it has a ton of space. He has also really been loving Pokémon Go (insert all of the eye rolls). I would more like obsessed with than loving;) His favorite beer this month has been Deschutes Inversion IPA.
4 Year Old: Our oldest has been absolutely loving her Shopkins. She has been into them since Christmas time last year, and randomly she pulled them out of her Shopkins Collector’s Case
again and has been playing with them everywhere! Needless to say, they are all over the house.
Almost 3 Year Old: Our sweet little G has been really into crafts, exploring things and creating. We have been using The Undeniable Power of Play: 101 Tips, Activities and Play-Based Learning Strategies to Engage Your Child
, a book written by three of my favorite blogging ladies, to create some really fun things with her and her older sister. It is packed full of ideas for little ones and things that you can do to expand their minds with play time. Love it:)
Twinsies: This month, the twins have pretty much been loving getting into EVERYTHING. One of their favorite items has been these Bright Starts Vibrations Teether
s that vibrate when you bite down on them. They are great for teething kiddos and they are a cute toy as well. Let’s be honest, right now they are chewing on anything!
What has your family been loving this month?
*Cheers to finding new things to love*
That is a very nice wine. I remember trying it when I was doing this wine tasting.
That hive and honey reisling sounds go good, I want to try some.
Looks like a fun, productive July! That is a pretty smart looking back pack.
Oooo that resiling sounds like something I should stick in my wine fridge. I’m a red drinker and everyone else I know loves sweet whites, so I’m always looking for sweet options!
I bet the twins do love those vibration teethers! Our twins were babies #5 & #6 so they didn’t get any fancy teething toys, just frozen rice-filled baby socks! Lol. Thanks for the July favorites!
Aren’t mom boobs the worst. Bathing suit shopping at its worst for me. But, whatev’s I will have to try that wine. My girlie loves shopkins too!! And, your hubby’s bag is pretty hipster. We’ve been traveling so our favorites aren’t too exciting at the moment. Lonely Planet books were a big hit with the kids I guess especially their travel journal and my youngest is loving a matching game I got at Target that has little cards for me and the matching piece is a giant circle that we place on the ground. She thinks that’s the best game ever!
Okay. So this post made me a wee bit jealous. You see, I’m pregnant with baby #3 (NOT #3 &4. I’m not a Clute, lol). And cute mom bathing suits and Reisling make me already excited for next summer, lol.
Thank you SO much for featuring our book! I hope you continue to enjoy it xo
