Hi Friends,
The week between Memorial day and the end of school for the older 3 has just been a blur, it’s packed with last minute end of school to-dos and activities/extra curriculars.
I’m ready for summer to start so we can get back into a routine.
Today I’m sharing some refreshing melon recipes
Summer melon salad - this salad just screams summer! It’s a definite favorite for get togethers
Easy melon sangria - the best sangria in the summertime, it’s so refreshing and beautiful with a light pink color from the watermelon and strawberries.
Watermelon salsa recipe - perfect summer appetizer to enjoy with some chips
On the blog this week
Love List - In this weeks Love List I’m sharing the hugest splurge I’ve ever made on a purse – totally worth it – and then also sharing the dupe I found which is also super nice. Also sharing some great book roundups and a cute fathers day gift idea.
Weekly meal plan - the weekly meal plan is posted, it includes ideas for breakfasts, lunches and dinners and you can customize it and make a shopping list!
Personal stories
The twins had their semi-annual teeth cleaning and were total champs!
Sam stopped taking a nap (insert crying emoji!!!) Sometimes he falls asleep on the couch, but not always. Good thing he’s cute lol.
We had my family over (in the pics below: me with my 3 sisters, the now famous snackle box and then the kids with their cousins from my side of the family)

I tried Factor meal delivery - chef created, nutritionist approved, precooked meals - fresh never frozen. So so so good, I was honestly impressed. I’d recommend them!

"Thanks so much for posting this wonderful recipe. We have stopped eating beef and now I’m having to find recipes to substitute for burgers, tacos, meatloaf and such. These burgers were way better than beef burgers. This will be a staple in my monthly menu rotation!"

A fresh greens salad with cold tomatoes, cucumbers and hard boiled eggs is perfect for summer.
