WIW: A Summer Of Hats

Before this Summer, I was never into hats, and I generally still detest most hats. But I've finally found a few styles that I've grown quite fond of. Obviously the Panama Hat is a Summer staple, which I also keep in the back of my SUV  because it comes in handy for just about any occasion. And this vintage style boat hat has really grown on me as well. It's playful and more feminine then the Panama hat but it's brim is similar in size. This hat is perfect for picnicking, afternoons at the park, and for just about all those other occasions when my trusty Panama hat is just too casual.

And aside from being cute, hats provide shade from this unbearable heat. If you know anything about me, then you know I hate getting too much sun and tanning. It ages you too quickly so prevent those wrinkles and grab a hat and some sunblock this Summer. [That's my mommy tip ;)]
Hope you all are staying cool in this Summer heat!

Adventures in Duck Feeding

One of the best parts about being a stay at home mom is being able to enjoy beautiful days like we've been having doing things like going to the duck pond with my girls.

She's walking now. Can't believe my baby girl is getting so big. Can you spot Big Sis in the back chasing down a duck?

This 90 degree weather screams for shorts and sandals. There's no chasing these little nuggets around in anything else when it's as hot as it's been out.
