It’s the longest day of the year – extra time for snuggling!
Camp Days
Mazen had fun filling out his whole calendar for the summer with camps and family trips. He takes after his mother : )
He doesn’t have to be at camp until 8:30 v. 7:10 for the school year at the bus stop and that extra hour was SO HELPFUL! The boys had smoothies and strawberries together before we left the house. (I had coffee before and breakfast after we got back home!)
Breakfasts
Cereal with berries
Daily Harvest Acai and Cherry smoothie
Oatmeal with almond butter + berries + granola
Workouts
On Monday I ran outside with Erica and our Bobs and babies and then we came inside and had smoothies and playtime. It was SO HOT for running at noon!
On Tuesday I went to Matt’s HIIT class and put Birch in Kids Zone. He did great – Mr. Smiles!
On Wednesday I went to strength class while Emily stayed with a sleeping Birch. My muscles were so tired after back to back gym days!
Look at these babies doing pushups and planks! They’ll be crawling soon.
Lunches
This boy LOVES to eat! He shoves all things into his little mouth and makes the cutest noises. I think his favorite this week was cornbread!
Pork + Thai salad
My favorite meal was Thomas’s smoked pork on top of the Plenty Thai peanut salad. SO GOOD!
Goat gouda + coconut + cornbread + grilled asparagus + yogurt
I love a fun tasting plate! And eating fresh coconut last week, Survivor style!
More Sparkly Flavors
Waterloo noticed my post about bubbles last week and sent me some of their flavors. They are great! I loved the Watermelon and Coconut.
Stormy Afternoons
The summer heat is back, daily afternoon storms included. This was my view at camp pickup during an insane severe thunderstorm complete with hail and sideways rain. I couldn’t get out of the car for 10 minutes until it calmed down to get Mazen from the camp bus!
Beachy Nails
I went with my mother in law to get our nails done. We got matching pink toes! This is my first time doing blue (for the ocean.) I think I like it!
Dinners
Smoked BBQ sammies + homemade slaw + zucchini
Plenty Tilapia + couscous salad + kale caesar
Family dinner at B.Good
B. Good invited us in to try out some summer menu additions. Thomas tried the BBQ chicken salad, and I had a tofu noodle bowl! Mazen loves the kids menu there, and we all shared a delicious vanilla milkshake to end the meal.
Key Lime Pie in a jar!!
Also from Plenty. So delish! + The Bachelorette.
I didn’t know it was the longest day of the year today! I feel like I wasted it in the office at work, haha…

What’s your go-to smoothie recipe? Lately we do banana + milk + cinnamon + PB + kale but I’m ready for more berries since it’s summer! It gets all brown if I combine strawbs and kale 🙁
Birch is such a little hunk baby! Going to be a handsome boy!
I love the banana PB combo! But this is my favorite berry version: https://www.katheats.com/my-favorite-everyday-smoothie
Wait, you took a class with Matt? Like Matt Matt? Is he a trainer now? Did I miss something, lol.
Yes, yes and yes haha!
Have a great trip! Can’t wait to read about it 🙂 Always love hearing about your trips to Bald Head.
Thanks!
