June Favorites

WHEW!  I can't believe June is almost over already!  It's flown by.  I guess that's because we have so many wonderful things we're using/doing/seeing this month.  Here are a few of our favorites:

1. Beach Days!  Virginia Beach certainly has plenty to offer in the way of beach entertainment!  We've been loving heading out to the beach and just hanging out for a while until we feel like our skin is about to melt off from the heat....then we head on home.  Some things we're learning?  Don't eat handfuls of sand (Truett).  The waves aren't so scary, they're just kissing us (Lili). The sand is SUPER hot and you WILL end up carrying both kids down to the water, one on each hip, so be prepared to burn the soles of your feet off so bring another adult with you to carry at least one baby so you don't want to die (Alisa). Yay beach!

2.We love sunscreen.  Keep those white little babies white.  Arbonne Int'l has the best baby sunscreen I've found yet!  It's not oily and it smells great-and it keeps that perfect baby skin, well, perfect! You can get some by emailing my mama at louanngubserdesign@gmail.com.

3.Truett is standing now.  He can't quite get up on his own, but he thinks he's the best thing on two feet when he pulls himself up either on his crib or any other furniture, person, or dog that he can.  Needless to say, this new talent has been accompanied by a few new bruises on the poor baby's forehead.

4.Crafty mccraftiness!  I actually have finished sewing my quilt together!  I can't believe I actually did all the work to make that happen.  Just have to quilt it and then you'll get the scoop!  We also hit up Michael's for kid's craft stuff and now have a box full for those afternoons when it's just TOO hot to hit up the inflatable pool even on our own back porch.  I also aspire to make one of these adorable braided headbands sometime before the month is up.  I'm thinking maybe a red, white and blue one for July 4th!?  Want to make one too?  They look super easy, cheap and fast...all requirements on my typical craft checklist. Check out how to make one of your own with this tutorial.

5.Finally, my sister, Brittany is doing an awesome new "Blogshare Wednesday" that I think you might love.  Check out her blog faves every Wednesday here to see which new blogs you just have to add to your reader!

So I think I might have made up for my brief lull with such an overdose of awesome stuff today!  Enjoy it all and let me know which stuff you loved.

Love. Love.
