Summer Fun + June Come Out & Play Giveaway Hop

Jun 16, 2020 | Rita

As y’all know I am currently on vacation and enjoying myself. It has been a vacation that i sorely needed. Before I share what all I have been doing I need to let you know that the hop is thanks to The Mommy Island,  The Kids Did It, and Zombie Parenting.

One of the best things about a summer vacation is getting to spend some time at the pool. I love doing that. I get so much exercise in without even trying. It’s the truth. At the end of the day I have worked out so much but I feel as though I was just having a good time. None of it feels like work.

One other thing I am doing is drinking more water. I’m adding fruits to help with the taste. I must say at the pool they are so much better. Maybe it is just the fact that I am going a slightly slower pace. Don’t worry I am getting some work done but I’m taking this time enjoying myself.

So I came across this amazing bag while doing some online shopping. The problem was they were going out of business. So I order several to use as giveaways on the blog some. You can learn more about them here.

    Lots of gardening and hiking for us. All of our planned adventures got cancelled this summer, and it is actually ok. we are getting to enjoy time as a family without the distraction/stress of travel. the low key, low distraction thing has turned out to be a really beautiful thing.

We just switched to a different animal hospital, and in a few days he will be going in for more testing and procedures that will drain my bank account. Right now I have basically no idea what’s going on… 24 hours ago I learned that my ride-or-die, someone very very close to my heart, my Person, died this past April. I had no idea. (He was in a different state– I had to move away.) I have no idea what is happening.
