"Treasured" Camping Parties!

All things Camping is H.O.T. Hot right now! Especially for this holiday weekend! My Camping Party invites were featured in three separate amazing treasuries on Etsy yesterday!

Cindy, from Moon Beans Gifts, created this fun treasury, which features items like an adorable felt hamburger grill set, s'more pinata, and even beef jerky!

The shop owner of Pretty Whimsical created this "summer camp" themed Treasury. I LOVE the "Happy Camper" Hand Printed T-shirt and I heart Camping Button!

And finally, check out this great "summer camp" themed Treasury, curated by Rosebuds Originals. I am loving all the aqua colored items grouped in this treasury. The Vintage Camping Cookware and Vintage White Lantern just makes me smell the campfire and think camping all the way!

I hope you're all enjoying your holiday weekend and smelling the bonfire! Create an adorably rustic-chic camping party of your own using my camping invites and party printables! Check out the other Treasuries that my camping invite has been featured in for other great ideas!

Fridays with Fin :: Relax

Its been a better week than last. Not amazing, but better. :) Fin is still a hot mess most of the time {this poor kid of mine is what I would classify as "spirited", so he blesses me with the daily challenge of learning how to be a better mama for HIM especially during this new season of sharing my attention/affection!}

Redirection is the key to success with my Finny. Like, when I decided to pull out our Superman capes when I saw a meltdown approaching. It turned our whole day around!

Fin calls superman, "woostermon", so now we call Fender "wooster puppy"! :)

 Even mommy joined in on the fun...

We decided to bring the "coo coos" {that's choo choos} outside for a change up! Look at that stud...

We hit up the zoo, and what started as Finny being mama's big helper...

...turned into Fin reverting to baby and needing to sit in the stroller the whole time! Who needs a double stroller, right? ;P

One major success from last week to this is Fin's friendship with the {literal} girl next door! Last week they were a lethal combination. This week, girl-next-door's mommy and I looked at each other a number of times surprised by their nice behavior towards one another! Its the little things like being able to sit next to each other and eat cheese.

And finally, we brought the hammock out for the summer! Yay!

Have a great Holiday weekend! Oh wait! Before I go... I leave you with Navy... The Lord certainly knew I had my hands full with Mr. Finley Jack so has been making it easy on me with her ;)

 

Fridays with Fin :: Keepin' it Real

I am not gonna lie. This has been one heck of a week. Fin has been the sassiest he's ever been {I'm talking looking a kid dead in the eyes as he chucks dirt in his face and smiling with joy}. I'm crabby in all sorts of ways {me + little sleep = cranks}. My hubby is stressed to the max. We keep saying there is a fine line between love and hate goin' on in our family right now! ;P

But then... we get faces like these...

and all is right in the world again. Happy 7 weeks Navy Rose! :)
