Summer days at home.










It's been raining a lot! We actually had two days when the rain came falling down the entire day. It was dark and gloomy out. A few days before, we took a little trip out to Target. We picked up some puzzles and melty beads. -Their dollar aisle is amazing! We actually ended up throwing in a small, simple kite. 

At home, we have enjoyed putting together puzzles. Our daughter absolutely loves working on puzzles. Her face lights up, and she's so proud when she puts her puzzles together all by herself. Of course, we're proud of her too. 

 I also came across some melty beads. Oh, what a fun little project to get your hands on. On a rainy evening, we worked on our melty beads. It took some time, and with the leftover beads, our daughter will create one of her own. She was such a great helper. After we were all done, we took them and added some magnetic tape on the back, and added them to the fridge.   

Recently, we bought a new cold brew coffee system. We were out enjoying our time at the Starbucks cafe when my husband noticed it sitting on their shelf. He's a bit of a coffee lover. He enjoys roasting beans and grinding them. I'll sip a cup and enjoy myself with him. He's actually been drinking decaf since that's what I prefer to drink during pregnancy.  I absolutely love this cold brew system. It's simple, and you could also brew teas. 

I enjoy our time at home. On these warm, rainy summer days, I cherish the simple moments I spend with my family. Home is where we come together, share our love, and make lasting memories. 

I hope you all have had a wonderful week. Enjoy your weekend with your family and cherish the simple moments! 

-Stephanie

  3. Our lives are so similar, Stephanie. We love the beads too, and chore/behavior charts are very important in our home. I'm glad you're enjoying the summer with your little one. Is she ready for the big changes coming this fall?

    1. Jennifer, aw you know I've noticed that too. So similar, it's amazing how you meet so many other bloggers whose lifestyles are so much alike. I think the chore/behavior chart is important. Right now she helps with little things.- In the garden, picking up a few toys, etc. She's so excited for this new change. She seems like she's ready and we're excited to see how she interacts with her little sister. :)
