August Favs ☀️

WOW, this summer has flown by!! You know what they say……..time flies when you are having fun. Falls sports have started this month with both boys playing football and Nevaeh starting up dance again. They are all so excited to be back to their favorite activities. Ethan is also assistant coaching Grayson’s team again this year.

This month we added more memories up at our cabin with friends and family and Ethan continued our updates with more wallpapering of the basement bedrooms. We checked out our local farmers market and picked up lots of goodies. We also attended our first Zach Bryan concert and we are obsessed. To round out the summer we took the kids to “The Great MN Get Together,’ AKA The MN State Fair. We are ready for school to start and to get the kids back into their routine.

We finally attended our first Zach Bryan concert after purchasing the tickets a year ago. Definitely a top 3 concert in our opinion. Ethan and I enjoyed our time with Austin and his friend Adam. Floor seats are incredible.

Getting close to that time of year. Cool weather = cozy comfortable clothes and Walmart has them. OUTFIT!!

Loving my new ON shoes from Public Lands. Also, this new LEASH from Amazon is a game changer for my walks.

If you are local you have to check out PROSE Nails. It is my favorite nail salon that I have been going to for a couple years now. They have a couple locations in MN. This day I went was a bonus as they had Dynamic Drips there doing IV vitamin infusions. If you haven’t tried mobile IV’s I highly recommend it. They have IV’s for everything from hangover relief to menstrual cramps and everything in between. Use code CORT for $20 off any IV infusion.

We had an awesome time at the MN State Fair with this kids. Forgot to get a family pic before Austin had to leave early for football practice.

Sweet Martha’s Cookies are an absolute staple of the MN State Fair. They load that bucket to overflowing. We eat enough to close it and then bring the rest home and freeze them.

I can’t lie……I am here for the new camo prints from Abercrombie. OUTFIT!!

Our last summer weekend at the cabin, before school starts, was amazing. My parents joined us as well as one of Austin’s buddies.

I absolutely loved Zach Bryan’s concert and this OUTFIT!!

We had the best weekend at the cabin mid-August with my parents.. The weather was perfect. The weekend was filled with boating, fishing, tubing with our NEW TUBE, wakeboarding, bonfires, ice cream, and sunshine.

Absolutely obsessed with this plaid wallpaper that Construction2Style picked out for one of our basement bedrooms. OUTFIT!!

I love how this downstairs bathroom of our cabin turned out. WALLPAPER!!

We love our local Farmer’s Market. We didn’t get there as much this summer but we went towards the end of August. I think we maybe bought something at every booth including these beautiful bouquets. We love supporting local small businesses.

Loving these Walmart OUTFITS!!

The kids were ready to take on the MN State Fair!!

We love that they have so many amazing Gluten Free options for Nevaeh. Nikkolette’s Macarons is local with food trucks and storefront locations. Nevaeh loved these!!

One of my new favorite Hats from Amazon.

This little miss was so excited for dance to start again. She is doing 2 classes this year. Lyrical and jazz/tap.

Football is underway and started with a bang!! Austin’s team beat the defending state champs in their first game. It’s going to be a fun season.

Magical New York City during Christmas
Is there anything more Merry than visiting New York City during the Holidays? The city transforms into a winter wonderland, with its busy streets adorned with twinkling lights, towering Christmas trees, and decadent window displays that ignite the imagination of both young and old. The air is filled with the intoxicating aroma of roasted chestnuts, hot cocoa, and the sound of familiar carols echoing through the streets. Central Park becomes a haven of enchantment as snow blankets the landscape, inviting laughter-filled sleigh rides and impromptu snowball fights. From the iconic Rockefeller Center Christmas tree to the festive ice-skating rinks under the glittering skyscrapers, the city teems with the spirit of the season. The magic of New York City during Christmas is simply irresistible, captivating the hearts of all who visit.
