Hey, y’all! I can’t believe another week has already come and gone. We’re now on the homestretch of summer with exactly one month left before school starts. We’ve reached the point where we’ve pretty much done all the things (with the exception of a few bucket list items) and the kids are at the point where they seem to be getting a little crazy from lack of structure. Once July 4th is over, I’m totally ready for fall anyway, so it won’t hurt my feelings when that day comes… even though it will suck having to wake up at 6 AM every morning again.
Anyway, y’all ready for some
favorites?
O N E – Rainbow Dress
I was browsing Amazon
earlier this week to check out some of the early Prime Day deals, and I came
across this darling rainbow dress for Olivia.
She loves all things rainbow (as do I) so I couldn’t resist. It arrived yesterday and it is even more
precious in person!! The fabric is super
soft and, although it’s not lined, it’s thick enough so that it’s not
see-through. I bought a size 5-6 for
Olivia and it is perfect because she’ll be able to wear it as a maxi dress now,
a mid-calf length dress next summer, and an at-the-knee dress the following
summer! At just $13.99 it looks like we
will most definitely be getting our money’s worth!
T W O – Scratch and Sketch Books
The kids bought these Scratch and Sketch books from a little book store in 30A when we were on
vacation and they are pretty much the best things ever! Each book comes with a wooden stylus and you
use the stylus to scratch away the pages, kind of like lottery tickets. Some of the pages require you to draw your
own things, and some of the pages have pictures that you trace. When you use the wooden stylus to “draw” it
scratches away the top layer of the page revealing sparkly or shiny patterns
underneath, so the kids drawings turn out so cool!
Our kids have been using
theirs nonstop since we bought them at the beginning of June, and they love
them so much that I’m already getting ready to purchase another one for each of
them for Christmas. There are so many
different themes – unicorns, mermaids, dinosaurs, under the sea, solar system,
etc. so there’s something for everyone.
They are perfect for Christmas gifts (yes, I’m already starting to think
about that) and they would also make super cute gifts for birthday parties! They’re super affordable at just $10-$12 each
and I feel like you get a lot of bang for your buck.
T H R E E – Sweetest Gift
My friend, Dara, from Not in Jersey reviewed some Emoji Fruit Snacks from one of her influencer boxes on her
blog a couple of weeks ago and I made the comment that our kids would think
they were the coolest thing. Well, she
emailed me, asked me for my address, and mailed them to us so the kids could
enjoy them! I thought it was just the
most thoughtful thing and our kiddos were SO excited. You just made their day, Dara! Thank you again!
F O U R – Amazon Influencer Program + Amazon Prime
Day
I have been an AmazonAssociate for a few years now, meaning that I get commissions when people click
and make purchases through the links I use here on the blog. (You can see more here about my disclosure if you have questions.) Well, I recently
found out that in addition to Amazon Associates, Amazon also has an Amazon
Influencer program. I’ve been wanting to
apply for months and I’ve never had the time, but earlier this week I finally
sat down to do it and they approved me!
I’m SO excited about this because
I am now able to have my own Amazon Storefront which means I can save aaaallll
of my favorite Amazon recommendations in one place! I’ve been working on organizing them into
categories all week, and I love how easy it is to find everything now. I get asked constantly about different
products I’ve purchased so now if anyone has any questions about products, they
can just click here to access my store front and find exactly what they’re
looking for!
I have so many fun
categories – Ladies Clothing, Gift Guide for Girls, Gift Guide for Boys,
FALL!!!!, Home Organization, Home Décor, Great Reads, Coffee Table Books, and so much more. All of these
categories contain all of my favorite things, most of which I’ve purchased in
the past and currently use, and also a few things that are on my wish list as
well. Head over and check it out when
you get a chance! You can even follow me
on there just like you would follow me on social media.
And speaking of Amazon,
guess what happens Monday and Tuesday?!
Amazon Prime Day!!!! Amazon Prime
Day is the day that Amazon marks down thousands of items which is crazy since
their prices are already so competitive.
Last year, I got a big chunk of my Christmas shopping done on Amazon
Prime Day and we saved a ton of money! I’ll
be sharing some of my favorite bargains on Monday so be sure to check back or shop here for all the savings!
And if you’re not already a
Prime Member, be sure to sign up here so you can join in on the savings!
F I V E – NSale Reminder
Finally, just a reminder
that today is the first day for early access to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! All of their brand new fall
goodies will be marked down significantly and then once the sale is over, the
prices will return to their normal retail price. All Nordstrom card holders can start shopping
today and everyone else will be able to start shopping on July 19. I’ll definitely be participating once it
opens to the public… I’m in need of a new pair of Zella leggings and I’ll also
be stockpiling my favorite undies since they're marked down to $14.90 from $20. I also have my eye on this lace cami, but it'll probably be sold out before I have the chance to snag it. I’ll
probably share a few other faves next week sometime, too. Shop here, y’all!
Here are some funnies for
the week!

| The struggle is real, y'all. I'm at the point of summer where I have no clue what to even feed them anymore. |

| And this is why our A/C is always cranked down to 73 degrees. Anyone else?! |

| Exactly! It's basically January. |
And in case you missed it,
here’s what happened on the blog this week…
Happy Friday, y’all!
*Linking up with A Liz Adventures and Carolina Charm for Five on Friday, A Little Bit of Everything for Friday Favorites, Meet @ the Barre for Friday Favorites, and By BMG for High Five for Friday.
Olivia is going to look precious in that rainbow dress! I am SO excited about the Anniversary Sale - and Amazon Prime Day (s). I tend to get overwhelmed with that, though, so you will have to share any deals you find!
ReplyDeleteI have to check out those scratch books! I think A would really like that. That was so thoughtful of Dara. I hope you have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThe scratch books are a lot of fun. I am hoping to get a coffee machine for the hubby on sale during amazon prime days. we shall see!

Congrats on your new Amazon Influencer store front. I love following some of my favorite IG accounts on their storefronts. Have a wonderful weekend! Tanya - The Other Side of the Road
ReplyDeleteDara is just the sweetest! We still have two more months before schools head back up here so I feel like summer is just starting with the 4th of July.
ReplyDeleteYes she is! And yes, y'all always get out later and go back later than we do... we used to be on a similar schedule when I was little, but they stopped that here a good while ago for some reason!
DeleteSo sweet of Dara!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for Prime Day!!
I want that rainbow dress for the girls. It is just too cute and my girls would love it! I definitely will get those. That is sooo sweet of Dana.
