Friday Favorites 7/29

The majority of week we were at the coast and a full post of our trip will be up soon but I still wanted to share our favorite moments of the week.

Emily had her very first hair cut at four and half years old (she was bald till 2). It was just a trim to keep her hair healthy but she got the royal treatment and she thought she was IT.  I've created a diva/monster because she's already asked me when she's going back.

She's got the natural ombre.  I pay a lot for that; why can't I have the free version too?!?!

She's blessed (cursed) with my hair which means it's super fine and does NOTHING!  Note the curls here and the lack of curls in the picture of her and I taken 4 minutes later.

Seriously one of my favorite things to do in life is read a book by the pool and with a cocktail of course.  While on our vacation this week I got to start June by Miranda Beverly Whittemore.  My goal was to finish the book on our trip but I didn't even come close.  That's not because I don't like it but because I have a 4 and 2 year old.  It definitely captures my attention and I can't wait to share my review with you soon.

I received this book from Blogging for Books in exchange for a review.

My nephew was killed in an ATV accident on January 1st of this year.  To say that we are still in shock in a complete understatement.  I think about him every single day along with my sister and nieces and can't imagine what they are feeling.  On July 27, 2016 Rocco would have been 10 years old.  Since we were out of town we sadly missed his birthday celebration back home.  We couldn't miss the celebration entirely so the girls and I honored Rocco with a balloon release on the beach in Pismo.  We had a moment to think about Rocco and then we released our balloons off to heaven.  Emily earlier found a rock on the beach and after our celebration she wanted to write a R on it for Rocco.  

Family is forever and we miss you Rocco but will forever be in our hearts.
