Hi friends! Here today to share some of life lately. The boys have been in camp, or hanging at home or at the pool. We’ve been enjoying all the summer activities and foods now that we’ve been back in the home routine!
More Kohv styles:
The Dash Mango are my all-time favorites for summer!
Other accessories we’ve been into:
Scorpio Tattoos for both October birthdays. I’m sad to say this pen was a bust. It came out way too thick. This marker is a better draw-on option! I’ve been really into these henna-style tattoos that last for 2 weeks. A great option for someone who isn’t ready for a real permanent one!
Sharing is caring
If you count this as an accessory, Mazen shared his VR headset with Birch. It’s so funny to watch him play.
Harry Potter accessories are still the rage around here, too.
How cute are they?!
What’s For Dinner? Everything Bagel Salmon! (Sponsored)
With seasonal ingredients like bright fresh dill and summer cucumbers, this Everything Bagel Salmon from Blue Apron was a hit in our house. I loved the tangy caper-lemon sour cream with the crispy skin salmon. And the fresh dill and cucumber salad was perfect for a hot day. I’ve been prepping my ingredients in the morning so we can stay a little late at the pool after camp or easily put dinner together after a 5:45pm soccer game. Anything to take the stress out of “what’s for dinner?”
Going on 5 years of being Blue Apron customers! We love their recipes, portions, and reliability.
Check out their latest promo here.
Blue Apron Meatballs + Rice
15 Minute BBQ Sandwiches + Slaw
LOVED these sandwiches that we assembled in no time per the easy 15 minute recipes that have pre-cooked ingredients!

Birch ate a taco!
Doesn’t sound like a big deal, but it was!! A chicken, cheese, and avocado taco!! YAY BIRCH!
Around Town
If you haven’t been to the new Grit Coffee downtown, it’s a super nice modern spot! Garage vibes in the old Waterbird spot. I’ve been into their Matcha Lemonade this summer!
Soccer games at 100 degrees are quite intense!! I had to pour water all over my head. Our season just ended after thunderstorms cancelled a ton of the games 🙁
Virginia Theater Festival
I went with some theater friends to see Into The Woods for the Virginia Theater Festival and it was SO GOOD!
Game Time!

Beauty News!
You saw that Beautycounter is back as Counter. I bought a few of my old-time favorites, including the Vitamin C serum. Happy to report that it’s the same wonderful product and scent as in the original! While I do miss the bright yellow bottle, the new packaging is all REALLY nice. Very sturdy and the pumps work great.
Salt + Stone
LOVING these scents and deodorants, especially since Counter doesn’t have a body line right now. Neroli and Basil are my favorite.
Bath Bombs
These bath bombs with dinos inside have been great to entice Birch to take his after-camp bath. He RUNS to the tub!
Happy Hour
SIX is the new THC drink by Green Compass. It’s fabulous! It tastes great with the perfect tart-sweet flavor (I didn’t feel there were any herbal notes, if you know what I mean).
