Summa Time!

I'm beyond excited for summa, summa time!  I need a tan in the worst way.  Right now I feel like a butterball turkey....pale and plump.  One of my dearest friends always tells me "tan fat turns to muscle, we need to workout (aka lay by the pool)"

I don't know why but tanned anything looks better than what I'm sporting right now.  My little type A self was getting my beach and pool bag ready and I came across some of my favorite items for getting a tan! 

I hope you enjoy my summa, summa time must haves and that you have a fun tropical vaca or pool day in your future.

1.  Supergoop

Ok I am obsessed with this stuff.  My bff gave it to my for birthday a few years ago and I have been hooked every since.  It is the best sunscreen in the world and I love, love the sunscreen wipes.  I pick up the travel tote every season and use every single item in the bag (and you will too)!

2.  Fabulous Flip Flops

I love a great pair of flip flops that can withstand the chlorine and the sand.  I got some Tory Burch Jelly Flip Flops a few years back and the are my go to flop for summer.  They look adorable and hold up amazingly well.  I also love that they are hot pink!




3.  A Great Hat

I absolutely have to have a sun hat these days!  It isn't so much about being stylish or keeping cool it's that I am trying to fight the wrinky dinks (my name for wrinkles) that are making their way across my face.  I love a big, big sun hat but I am also liking the cute little fedora sun hats that are out right now.  Big or small, take your pick!






4.  The Perfect Tote

I love a great tote bag!  I actually have more bags than I know what to do with.  I see them and think "I really need that".  Then I get home to put it away and realize that my extra bedroom closet runneth over with cute tote bags.  Oh well!  I am loving these tote bags for the beach, lake or pool!







5.  A Comfy Towel

I love a plush, vibrant beach towel!  Again I have a huge collection of these because I always think "you can never have too many beach towels".  According to the hubs you can :)  Since he doesn't always read my blog here are my favorite beach towels for the summa!

The Truth, The Whole Truth and Nothing But The Truth

I don't really want to write this post.  I want to crawl in my bed, with the covers over my head and watch the real housewives of nyc seasons 1 and 2 (before Jill and Bethenny hate each other).  I don't want to talk to anyone, see anyone or answer my phone.  In fact it's been on silent for the past three days.   I am writing this post because I started this blog as a living, breathing diary.  It is a fluid documentation of my life and what is going on right now.  Unfortunately what is going on right now isn't a fun trip, a great product recommendation or a great style entry... it is real life.   This week something sad happened to me and the hubs, we had a miscarriage.  I will tell you that I hate the word miscarriage it seems clinical to me.  What I have said is we lost the baby because that is how it feels to me.   Without boring you or scaring you with too many details I knew something wasn't exactly right.  I started bleeding and was away from home and my

I'm Jealous Of My Husband

I have to be honest I almost didn't publish this post.  This is a real and raw post.  I finally hit publish because I figured I couldn't be the only one feeling this way. I will tell you I didn't know I was jealous of Matt at first.  I knew I was angry, resentful, overwhelmed and afraid.  As a wife and mother the to do list seems never ending.  Whether you work or not being a mother is one of the hardest jobs, if not the hardest job on the planet.   Matt and I are blessed to both have fulfilling careers and therefore we have someone who helps us 5 days a week.   For a long time I felt bad for being a working mother.  I've made my peace with that.  I am now thankful instead of guilty.  It was a long road but I'm in a good place with it.  I'm not saying that from time to time I don't wrestle with working and being mother but on the whole I am comfortable with my choice.   So when these feelings started creeping up I thought it was working mother's gu

A Sad Season

I have to tell you that these past few months and perhaps this year have been hard and yes sad.  My mother told me when we were talking about it that I was experiencing "a sad season" and I have to agree. Now this doesn't mean that everything has been awful, sad and terrible.  I haven't been in bed for weeks at a time with the covers over my head watching trash tv.  Instead I feel like it has been one of those times were the hits just keep on coming.  The bad news just keeps rolling in like ocean waves.  It has been a time of tremendous loss and sadness.  The events that have occurred aren't the same but it felt like every time I would get my ahead above water something else would happen.   It has been difficult because there are happy times mixed in to all of the sad.  In those times of happiness I have genuinely tried to be in the moment but my heart wasn't in the right place.  My heart has not felt happy and there has been an undercurrent of sadness tha
