GUYS GUESS WHAT. It is in the 70s all this weekend! Yesterday we worked out in the park and it was actually HOT. Like, I was sweating and the sun was beating down and I was stupidly HAPPY!!!! Ohhhh mr. sun. You can stay allll you want.
… Just, like, don’t get above 95, kthx.
Favorites time!
one || Well, the SUNSHINE, duh. Soaking it up, being outside AMAP (as much as possible), breathing in that fresh air- ahhh. Nothin’ like it.
two || My new favorite Starbucks drink (thanks to the BOGO Free Macchiato deal they had last week- we literally got them every day of that deal- oops! ha!): Iced Cinnamon Almond Milk Macchiato, no caramel topping. SO GOOD. Sooooo good.
Even made the mistake of letting Sam have a sip (or five). Needless to say, he was also a fan. Ha! Oops…
three || TriDerma sent us some products to try, and we love them! The moisturizer is so great, I love that it’s a nice big tub- so easy to apply! It’s become our little post-bath ritual: I plop Sophie on our bed (she loooves that! Instant giggles!) and use the lotion and she’s all soft and clean and scrumptious. This lotion is so nice because it’s unscented (she’s still got that yummy baby smell!) and it isn’t greasy and it really moisturizes. Score! We also are loving the diaper rash cream– works for any skin irritation! And, like, it REALLY works. Sam had a tiny little irritated spot, I applied this cream, and boom! It was gone when he woke up! Definitely loving this brand- especially love that it is botanical-based and cruelty-free!
four || Sophie girl has been upgraded to a big girl car seat! Annnnd safe to say she LOVES it. We had Maxi-Cosi infant car seats for her, and also have this one for her big brother, and we are big fans. Like, they are my favorite car seats. There I said it. For comfort, safety, looks and ease of installation- these car seats take the cake! No surprise that this one was no different. We got the Pria 85, in sweater knit grey, and you guyyys how cute is it, right?? It is SO plush, too. I’m actually quite jealous she gets to ride in it and not me. Ha! Thanks to Maxi-Cosi for sending this over to us and making sure our kiddos always ride in style! :)
THOSE CHEEKS. THOSE BIG BLUE EYES. We are in trouuuuble.
K have an amazing weekend!!! Our plans? Crab Feed tomorrow night (aka daaaaate night, YES!) and church Sunday! Lots of outside time and walks and parks and playgrounds in between, of course, because like I said earlier, SUNSHIIINE.
And then, of course, lots of naps, too. Those are good.
(Cute mermaid doll from cuddle + kind! For every doll sold, they donate 10 meals to kids in need! Amazing company! We own three of their dolls and they are the best!)
What are your weekend plans?

Soaking up all the SUNSHINE over here this weekend too!! YAY for sunshine!! I am considering the Maxi-Cosi for my son. Does it clean easily and is it easy to change the harness?
Katie
Yes, it cleans very easily! And it’s really simple to change the harness- just follow the instructions and it goes easily! :) I definitely recommend!

Oh no! Sam is already a Starbucks addict at just under 3! Haha! Once I was holding our toddler and talking to my sister in law and my sweet girl just leaned over and took a few drinks out of my sister in law’s Starbucks drink. Kids are hilarious!
Katie
Hahaha too funny. And so bad, I know. Oooops…

It is sunshine-y and gorgeous here in Florida today too! Feeling sorry for my fam up in NY where it is TWELVE DEGREES TODAY. I can’t even bring myself to tease them with my 80 degrees and sunny situation…too cruel!
I’m going to tell my sister to check out the cream you recommended- my little niece (who just learned to roll over this week- how could something so simple be so amazing??) has a sensitive booty.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend!
Katie
Oh my gosh. 12 degrees. I couldn’t even function. Ha! We are so spoiled!! ;) And yes, that cream is so nice! She’ll love it!

I had to come back and comment because I tried the iced cinnamon almond milk macchiato today and loooved it! I’m trying to go dairy free and it’s been a struggle finding replacements for my favorite treats (ahem. Iced coffee) so finding healthier versions is really nice! Thanks for the recommend! Ps Sophie is such a doll ????
Katie
Yessss so glad you loved it!! :) I love that there are so many alternatives now, makes dairy-free or anything else so much easier!

Katie
You and Zack are so cute. Love you, friend. Might have to try that coffee drink although I’m not a huge fan of cinnamon or almond milk haha
Katie
Haha mmmm then mayyybe you shouldn’t try it. ;) Just saying. Love you!
