Hello August

I'm still over here amazed that we're already in August (hello birthday month!), but then noticed we are actually almost halfway through. Lots has been going on, and I'm just now playing a little catch up over here. It wouldn't be August without a fun beach day, and we decided to check out a new-to-us beach. We'd made our way up to Flagler Beach before to meet some family for lunch on the water, but this was our first time enjoying a beach day there. The sand looks like cinnamon, and the waves were bigger than we expected. 








I ventured downtown to celebrate one of my fav co-worker's birthdays. She rented out a space at a hotel, and everything was catered and we enjoyed music and dancing. Oh and of course some cocktails. I didn't get back home until 2:00 a.m. which I haven't done in foreverrrrrr. I was pretty exhausted when Lil' Miss came bounding into the room the next morning excited to head to the beach. This old hag was very excited to settle back into the couch later that evening and watch the Olympics. 



Speaking of sleep (oh beautiful sleep!), I recently was able to try out Dr. Emil Nutrition's Bedtime Burn. It's a nighttime fat burner (hello!) and sleep aid. I love that it's free of GMO's and harsh stimulants, and is designed to calm the mind and body. Who else has their mind race at night when it's time to settle in? I can't be the only one who wakes up in the middle night freaking out about things that would never send me into a panic during the day. Head over to my Instagram page where I'm holding a fun giveaway to win a free bottle! 






And last but certainly not least - a certain someone was VERY excited to start gymnastics this year. She picked out a mermaid leotard for her first day (of course) and very proudly brought her Anna and Elsa water bottle. We watched her first go on the (mini) uneven bars, and can't wait to see her test out the balance beam (which is on the floor level for the littles). Yes I was that mom that called to make sure parents are allowed inside (because COVID), and watched through the glass the entire time!

  1. I can't believe how far into August we are either! Sounds like a fun birthday celebration! Zoe started gymnastics over the summer and absolutely loves it. It was a short session, only 5 weeks and I am absolutely amazed at how far she has come already. I am excited to see what a full session brings. Between that and dance, the kid keeps me busy!
