Stitching Together Our Favorites: Summer Edition

I have read so many great books this summer, and my kids have too. Our library kept darling reading challenges going all season, and stopping in each week turned into one of our favorite little routines. It got us out of the house, it gave the kids something to be proud of, and it did not cost us a thing.

And this little book light has been the other half of it. It has three settings, it clips right onto whatever I am reading, and it is perfect for late night chapters after everyone is finally asleep.

And one more I have to mention. My kids were gifted some EzyRollers last Christmas by some very kind humans, and I am not exaggerating when I say we ride them every. single. day. When friends come over, they ride them. Aunts ride them. Uncles ride them. I ride them. They are seriously so much fun.

So as an early birthday present to myself, and because I wanted to get some good rides in before the snow comes, I got the adult version. Since it arrived I have ridden it every day, and my husband has already taken it out for a few rides too. 10/10 birthday present to myself.

Both of my favorites this summer have been about getting my phone out of my hands. I started plugging everything in upstairs instead of right next to my bed, and this wall mount and this charger made that switch so easy. The mount has basically turned into a landline system in our house, which has helped with my daytime scrolling too. Let’s be real, the phone was never going to move itself.

Lake and swimming days will forever be a favorite for me. There is something about being all together out on the water that makes everything that much better.

I am not a huge makeup gal, but this little blush stick has become an everyday favorite. It is creamy, it blends beautifully, and it gives the prettiest natural flush with just a touch of shimmer. Plus it is so easy to toss in your bag for on the go touch ups.

My favorite thing this summer has been Libby. I am not a huge library going girl. I know, I know, I need to jump on that train! But Libby is perfect for me and it has been my go to all season. There are so many perks to reading or listening to books right on your phone, especially when you are out and about every day. If you have not downloaded it yet, get on it. It is free and it gives you access to a whole world of books.

My mom gave all of us this Whoa Glow SPF for Christmas and it has been in my bag ever since. It is a sunscreen and a primer in one, it gives the prettiest glow, and it never feels heavy or chalky. Sunscreen I actually want to put on? Sold.

Nothing has been better for my skin this summer than my Lissy mandelic serum. It is the one step I have not skipped, even on the late nights.

And these claw clips have been on repeat. They actually hold up for long, thick hair, which is not something I can say about most of them.

My favorite thing this summer has been the new Indy Clover Sugarhouse location. Always a fan of thrift finds and having an Indy Clover close by has been so much fun!
