For those of you who have been around a while, you know that I love to make holidays special for my kids and family! It never has to be anything big or expensive, just like these little buckets of Bullseye and Dollar General finds! My kids really loved the temporary tattoos and croc charms!

Amazon Prime Deal Alert

Permanent lighting similar to Jellyfish, and less expensive than Govee. Perfect for year round application, these Nexillumi lights are compatible with Google and Alexa smart home devices, and come in at a mere $120 for 100 ft of lights.

Trick is to buy each set separately such that you can take maximum advantage of the 40% off coupon— don’t forget to clip that!!

You can also use one power brick and control device to run about 200 ft of lighting. This is an easy DOY projects especially because the extinction to jump waves and create a seamless look are all included, however we used black RHB waterproof cables to keep things less noticeable.

This week’s DIY project was permanent lighting.

We bought the lights for $120 for 100 ft. It took 3 boxes, some RGB cables and connectors, a boom lift rental and about 8 hours of manual-power. Truly was a pretty easy project!

To take advantage of the deal, purchase each set separately while clipping the 40% off coupon.

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL
We have a tradition of post-school snacks in theme on first days. I love this tradition because it brings us all together to hear about all the tea— who is in their class, first impressions, and what they are looking forward to most this year.

This year I filled piping bags to look like pencils using mini chocolate chips, cheddar popcorn, goldfish, Hershey kisses and strawberry wafer cookies. They are quite big so the kids shared one and there’s leftover to enjoy later in the week.

I usually gift some practical new and fun school supplies to have for homework and projects, too! This year Savi got smash-up smelly Crayola coloring items, rulers, pencils, a jelly case for the supplies and some lunch box notes and jokes sets.

Savi said her party was definitely in the top seven. 🤣 She’s into all the trendy tween things so that was the party theme.

We had a trucker hat bar, decorated sunglasses, and played some games. Of course things got competitive; and winnings were SM tumblers, bum bags, croc charms, flower clips, & smiley beach towels! We also did our favorite Saran Wrap ball game in lieu of a piñata. Not captured was the dinner she requested— Raising Cane’s chicken fingers, smiles fries and homemade fruit cups. Then we topped it off with SF Sherbert Punch and a delicious, beautiful cake from @bittersweetwaxahachie!

Savannah’s seventh era looks a lot like:
• Soccer & Softball practices/games 6 days a week, while wanting to spend her 7th day practicing at home.
• Saying she doesn’t want a dress and crown, then not wanting to take them off because she loves them.
• Liking pink everything, but saying the pink accents are too girly.
• Loving when Mom calls her “Savi”, but for others, she’d prefer “Sav”.
• The summer she officially learned to cannon ball and swim unassisted.
• Learning she must wear her glasses all day (except during sports).
• Enjoying music and a good a book, or pestering her brother!

It’s hard to think that 7 years ago I was in labor with the baby girl I’d long yearned for. She still tests my patience and boundaries, maybe less often, but her strength and boldness are admirable. We know that one day, when it’s time, we won’t need to worry about sending our strong and beautiful girl into the world. The world better watch out, though!

Happy Birthday, Savi!! We love you and are so proud of the young lady you are becoming!

Heading back to school in Style thanks to Target and Amazon! We got these fun patch-themed items for my daughter to use this school year and I love this Bentgo box that has a built-in freezer block making cold lunch that much easier! We’re also going to add a nickname on the pocket of her backpack to keep the with the Stoney Clover look-a-like patch theme!

Today we hung a light in the bulk head of my daughter’s window bench to give her a little reading nook because she’s certainly become my book worm.

Her room is almost done. The next few items will be her birthday present so we’re a mere 3 weeks away from being done with her room. Stay tuned to see us wrap it up!

Are you wanting those jellyfish or Govee lights, but an even better discount with options for both Alexa and Google connectivity?
You better run!

These sets are highly rated, with over 1000 reviews on Amazon. When you buy an individual 100 foot strand at a time and apply the app 30% off coupon, they come down to $128/each with tax.

I bought three in separate transactions! That’s 300 feet of jellyfish home lights for $384 shipped (normally $808). It may be summer but this gives Ryan about 4 months to figure out the install so that they are up for Christmas!
I don’t think they intend to have this workaround with the coupon, so I highly recommend getting them real fast before they figure it out.

When your dishwasher stops working and you realize how lucky you are… to have a dishwasher, for the Whirlpool (3 rack) one you’ve been wanting to be 45% off and available for pickup same day, to have a hubby who can install it saving you $200, and for a hubby who stops to clean the area with our Tineco 2-in-1 vacuum mop, and (sometimes) reads the manual only to realize he’s got more effective parts on hand for the install (that will protect the wiring).

Peep that 3rd row in the dishwasher for utensils, and the adjustable 2nd row to fit tall cups.

Thanks to my Aiper robotic vacuum, we are ready to lounge poolside on this beautiful Sunday!

I also love my loungers, one of the few sold in singles, and when paired with an umbrella and snack tray, you’ll be set all summer long!

All items are from Amazon, Home Depot and Target! Many on sale!

We love our Aiper cordless robotic vacuum and have been using it for 4 months. It’s on sale (33% off) for under $600 which is a great price for an in ground pool vacuum! Before this we had a dolphin and I honestly think this works just as well!

We have a 20’ X 40’ 28,000 gallon pebbletec pool and this vacuum climbs walls and cleans the entire pool. Best part is that we no longer have to deal with silly cords!

Packing for todays’s softball tournament out in the sun. Couldn’t do it without my Bogg Bag but organizers are a must for this Mary Poppins bag!
Also, I snagged two Ryobi fans that I can recharge on the go, on sale right now! I love that they clip to my chair or bag!
Lastly, I’ve got hand wipes and sanitizer, and a first aid kit stocked with a disposable CPR mask. I’m recently certified through the Red Cross in Fiesta Aid and CPR and want to be prepared for what may happen in the Texas heat.

Day 3 we had Dinner at 1923 and the kids wore matching Mickey spirit jerseys that I’d used to surprise them with our Disney Cruise vacation.
So cute but this was a temporary Disney Collection at Target and I cannot find them anywhere, so linking some cute ones I found and other Mickey and Minnie shirts!!

Day Three Outfits
Day 3 we were in Castaway Cay on the beach, enjoying the ocean and riding water trikes. It was a fitting day for some swimwear! I bought myself some a new suit and cover up, and the kids got 2 new suits for Easter but opted to wear last year’s swimsuits so they could match.

We also wore some water shoes, which are more of a must on the rockier beaches of Nassau Bahamas.
