Friday Five and Favorites

July 3, 2015

Happy 4th of July weekend!  This is one of the best times of the year, and I’m so excited to be celebrating with our family.

Today I’m linking up with April; Karli; Erika, Narci and Andrea for 5 on Friday, Oh Hey Friday, and Friday Favorites.

ONE: We are down at my grandparents’ beach house for a long weekend.  There are 15 of us in one house…we’re crammed in here and loving it.  We’ve come down to this beach since we were little, and now it’s so fun to see our kids enjoying this beach.  We are having to be cautious about the ocean, because of all of the shark attacks and sightings – yikes!

TWO: We purchased a GoPro this summer, and enjoyed using it on our trip.  During our time in the Dominican, we mainly stayed at the resort, but we did take one excursion.  We went snorkeling and they took us to a boat that had sunk about 20 years ago.  I am not big on being out deep in the ocean, but we had a blast!

THREE: I saw this Lou&Grey dress from Loft on someone’s blog last week and loved it.  I need more casual dresses that I can throw on for an easy outfit when it’s blazing hot.  Loft has been having a 50% off sale, so it was such a deal.  Mine looks more of a royal blue than a navy – perfect for the 4th!

FOUR: I saw these Berry Yogurt Granola Bites when my cousin pinned them, and thought they’d be perfect year-round, but especially for July 4th!  They’re mini frozen bites with a granola crust, yogurt middle, and berry topping.  Yum! yogurt granola berry bites

FIVE: I hope you all have a great weekend with friends and family!

      Meg, good call on the romper! I also bought a dress I’m planning to wear for a shower soon, but I’m sure they have other things I should’ve snagged. 😉 I’ve loved their pieces for summer.
