Oh, yes. We needed this.
My cup overflows…
One… Two… Three… JUMP!!!
Gracie was brave enough to tackle the ropes course on vacation – she was not even slightly scared of the ziplines!
Can I go back now? Pretty please???
Last week, I spent two lovely days at Blogger Bash. I heard inspiring bloggers making the world a better place at the Bloganthropy Awards, tried out the hottest toys of the year at Sweet Suite, got spoiled left and right by this incredible event and spent time with some really remarkable women.
One of the highlights for me was the EA Events Social Suite! It was pampering heaven! CoverGirl provided mini-manicures and makeup touch-ups as well as Colorlicious lip gloss for everyone!! Colorlicious Lip Gloss comes in a stunning array of colors, and gives you shine without stickiness. Lips feel soft and silky and weightless.

AutoTex Pink shared how we can all “Wipe Out Breast Cancer.” A donation is made from each purchase of AutoTex Pink wiper blades to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. Then, we learned about a quick, easy and environmentally responsible way to wash your vehicle: Washdrops is an award-winning green car wash solution. Use only one bucket, no hose, no rinse! Washdrops is ideal for school and non-profit fundraisers too!

The Joseph Nogucci table was wildly popular! Especially their newest jewelry collection! Miii bracelets are crafted from semiprecious stone beads and gleaming rhodium-plated magnets designed to bring all of your bracelets together in a perfect arm stack. I’m a big fan of Joseph Nogucci and was thrilled to see all of their items at once in person!

All EAEvents have at least one charity partner and this one was no different. Alex’s Lemonade Stand was there encouraging us to #Stir4aCure:

We even got to wish Smokey Bear a happy 70th Birthday!

It was a great event – not to mention attendees like Wubble Ball, JetSet Dress and more!

Our family’s favorite local spot is open again! We all LOVE the Clam Shack in Warren.
Just 5 minutes away, we can sit and watch the watch the sunset, see the boats go by, listen to live music and eat the yummiest seafood fresh off the boat. I tried the new Lobster Roll with butter. Instead of a traditional lobster salad (usually mayo based), this is just lobster. And a tub of melted butter for dipping. OH HECK YES.
I have a feeling I will be here at least once a week all summer! Come visit us and we’ll take you here 🙂
This weekend we joined a group of friends and went camping in French Creek State Park in PA. This year, we tried out a camping cottage. This was our home for the weekend:
Gorgeous! It costs about $35-40/night (as opposed to about $25 for a tent site with no electric). Sleeps 5, has a table and chairs inside (along with heat, a fan, and electricity!) and a picnic table and fire pit outside. Perfect for relaxing around with breakfast.

We ate lots and lots of s’mores…
And went hiking and boating and fishing….
And had hours of fun talking and laughing with old friends…
Perfect Memorial Day!
We discovered a week ago that we have TERMITES. A swarm of termites was spotted in our flowerbed and they then proceeded to start to EAT our fence. NOT GOOD. So today the house was treated for termites – no damage to the house yet. They’ve been too busy eating our silly fence.
FUN!
