Weekend Rewind: Soccer, Wakeboarding, Sunburned!

Hey friends.  Hope you had a super weekend.  Our soccer season is over but our ladies hopped into a tournament and O...M...G....I forgot what it's like to spend the ENTIRE day at the field playing back-to-back games.  We were there from 8:15-3:45 and it was so hot.  It was about 90 degrees most of the day.  I also forgot about those lovely soccer field tan lines.  They are earned, not given. haha

On a less whiny note, the girls got some amazing bonding time they are sure to remember as they get older.  They did each other's hair, made lunch for each other, and told some of the funniest stories.  As a bonus, we made it to the finals and WON the tournament!  


 



My niece did some wake boarding and my sis sent me some of the pictures.  She is such a special young lady.  She does great in school and has no fear pushing herself to try new things.  





Sunday afternoon I snuck in a nap and my husband and I took a walk thru the neighborhood just before sunset.  We left phones at home and it was just us on a Sunday stroll.  We have to do it more often.  Hope y'all are off to a great week.  I am ready for the 3-day weekend!

New fave shampoo

Do you follow MintArrow on Insta?  She recently posted a pic and her hair was SO SHINY.  She had tons of comments on it and shared her little secret.  Drugstore shampoo.  Is.It.Possible?  I had to run out and grab it myself and have been using for the last few days.

I have fine hair so I have to be careful with conditioners but I have a lot of blonde in my hair so I need something to keep it looking healthy.  Just the name OIL scared me but......

It's legit, peeps!  Go getcha some.

Cheers to the weekend!

Hey y'all!  We had such a nice weekend.  I got my first bit of summer (farmer's) tan at the soccer fields and had a weekend of rest between games.  Our regular season is over and except for a couple tournaments we are done until the kids go back to school.  We had trophy and memory books to handout and got a few last pics before the little ladies sprout up over the summer.

Coaching is so rewarding and these young ladies have stolen my heart.  Here are a few pics from our last couple days.  Hope you are off to a great week  We have tons of rain coming our way. Cheers!
