Sunday Edit

Happy Sunday and happy Father’s Day to all the amazing dads in our lives! Grateful for my sweet dad and husband and I’m excited to see what my kids have planned for the day with Kenny because they told me they have it covered. Trying not to feel a little nervous about that.. ha. I’m sure it will be great. Especially since Kenny would be happiest with a regular Sunday with the fam. Most dads are pretty easy to please right? :) Today’s Sunday Edit is two week’s combined and full of so many fun things! Your favorites from the last two weeks, 4th of July clothes and decor options, cute vacation clothes, jewelry, and fun options for active and swim wear. I hope you like it and I hope you enjoy your weekend!Sunday Edit (Sunny Side Up Blog)

Drink Caddy

Happy Saturday! I’m sharing 6 things I’m loving and excited about this week! Kicking things off with these cute USA letter trays for 4th of July get togethers. I ordered these last year and used them to hold our annual holiday pretzel hugs but you could fill them with anything – taco toppings, candy, crackers, cheese, veggies, etc.

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up Blog)

The exact trays I ordered aren’t in stock anymore, but I found this cute set I like even better because they are a little larger. So fun for the 4th!

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up Blog)

Crossbody Bag

Lulu has the cutest crossbody sling bags! I have one similar from Anthro that I use all the time. They are especially nice in the summer for traveling and sightseeing. I’m loving this blue at the moment but they come in other cute colors too!

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up Blog)

How adorable are these corn dishes!? I just ordered them and can’t wait to use them this summer! They come in a set with 2 corn dishes and 4 skewers so I ordered 3 sets for my crew. They are making me excited for BBQ’s. :)

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up Blog)

Could not put this dress in my on-line cart fast enough! The gingham is so cute for any summer event and I love the detail at the top. I’ll share a pic of me in it as soon as it comes in.. really hoping it fits cute! (It looks navy but I think it’s actually black and white!)
Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up Blog)
I know I know.. we need to enjoy the season we are in but these Terracotta Jack O’ Lanterns always sell out quickly so I wanted to let you know they are back in stock! I like to put these fun battery operated pumpkin lights inside for a spooky glow.

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up Blog)

They even have a light tan option this year that I’m pretty sure I need. Ha. PB has a lot of their Halloween decor up ready to order and there are so many cute things this year! I can be enjoying summer while ALSO getting excited about fall. I’m tricky like that. :)

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up Blog)

Ok.. last but not least is this fun inflatable serving tray! If you are hosting or going to a pool party for the 4th this is sure to be a hit. Load it up with ice and drinks and snacks.. talk about fun. I’ll bring the Coke Zero! :)

Enjoy your day!

Maui 2025 (what we did/wore)

Maui 2025 (Sunny Side Up)

Hello hello! I hope you are enjoying your summer! We spent last week in Maui with our kids and had a great week other than the fact that my laptop monitor broke on the trip! Which is why you didn’t see a Saturday and Sunday post. I’ll be playing catch up now that I’m home and my computer is hooked up to Kenny’s office monitor until we can get it fixed. Always something fun going on right!? :) I’m sharing some pics from our trip and a few things we did along with what I wore!

Maui 2025 (Sunny Side Up)

We dropped Peaches (Ad’s lizard) off at a friend’s house for the week.. I know she was thrilled. ;)

Maui 2025 (Sunny Side Up)Nike Pullover, Backpack

Early morning at the airport! I always take Kole’s Minecraft stuffed animal for a back pillow. Kole used to always take it on trips when he was little so I got used to using it and now I don’t like to travel without it. I wish I could link it for you.. best back pillow out there. Ha.

Maui 2025 (Sunny Side Up)

My favorite little pouch for airplane essentials.

Maui 2025 (Sunny Side Up)

Always love seeing this airport sign. :)

Maui 2025 (Sunny Side Up)

We always make a Costco run for a few things (it’s by the airport) so we usually get in late! This is the Westin in Kaanapali (we have a timeshare here and always stay in the villas). I would definitely recommend it! We have been staying in these villas for family trips for for close to 20 years and they never disappoint!

Maui 2025 (Sunny Side Up)

A few things I packed!

As soon as I get to the room I always immediately unpack! I hang as much as I can and keep the rest in my suitcase on trips. Especially when we are staying for a week.. I liked to feel moved in and like I’m staying put for a while. :) You too or do you live out of your suitcase? Kenny has never unpacked a thing except when he wears it.

Maui 2025 (Sunny Side Up)

Balcony views.

Maui 2025 (Sunny Side Up)

Kole and Ellie we in the ocean first thing on day one.. early morning is always the best snorkeling.

Maui 2025 (Sunny Side Up)

Bikini Top, Bikini Bottom, Necklace, Sunglasses, Bracelet

Pic from a few months ago but this is what I wore.. again! I brought 3 suits all similar to this with different colors of the same bikini bottoms. They are flattering and such a good fit.

Maui 2025 (Sunny Side Up)

Essentials for a perfect pool/beach day. Sunscreen, Skinny Pop and mindless reading! #stillteamedward #andjacob

Maui 2025 (Sunny Side Up)

We went on a few beautiful hikes! This is the Kapalua Coastal Trail and it’s so gorgeous.

Maui 2025 (Sunny Side Up)

Maui 2025 (Sunny Side Up)

Out and about! I haven’t owned white pants in so long! I ruined so many pairs when my kids were little that I just stopped buying them. But I’m completely out of that stage now and these are my favorite jeans in white. They are so comfortable and cute. Also if you still need Father’s Day gift ideas Kenny loves these polo shirts! They are also incredibly comfortable and can be dressed up or down. This style of shorts is his favorite and he loves these shoes. They are pricey but wear well.. he has had them a long time.

Maui 2025 (Sunny Side Up)

Dinner at Monkeypod. A fun spot to try in Maui!

Maui 2025 (Sunny Side Up)Silky Blouse, Jeans, Raffia Slides, Crossbody Handbag Here & Here

Hmm.. those bathroom mirrors look familiar.

Maui 2025 (Sunny Side Up)

:) Miss seeing these stuffed animals all over the floor. There is currently a drum set taking up half of this space.

Maui 2025 (Sunny Side Up)

Feels so good to have my kids all home and to be together again!

Maui 2025 (Sunny Side Up)

Seashell Charm Necklace

Close up of this cute necklace I bought Ad for her birthday. Under $20 and so cute!

Maui 2025 (Sunny Side Up)

Merci Hat, Embroidered Baseball Hat

We spent one day on a boat and had the best time!

Maui 2025 (Sunny Side Up)

Maui 2025 (Sunny Side Up)

Maui snorkeling is the company and we did the Molokini Crater/Turtle Town tour.

Maui 2025 (Sunny Side Up)

Merci Hat, Sunglasses, Similar Bikini Bottom

I borrowed a wet suit on the boat. Always cold! I usually get SO sick on boats but I took my Dramamine and wore wrist bracelets that help with nausea and I was fine this time! I was so happy and leaning over the side of the boat singing the songs from Moana (and the call isn’t out there at all it’s inside me). Ad was like “wow mom.. you’re really in your feels right now..” ha ha.. I was just in the BEST mood and so happy that I wasn’t sick! It’s the little things.

Maui 2025 (Sunny Side Up)

We went to a few spots for snorkeling and then enjoyed some time on the slide. So fun.

Maui 2025 (Sunny Side Up)

Cute little guy. Seeing the turtles is always my favorite. :)

Maui 2025 (Sunny Side Up)

That water!

Maui 2025 (Sunny Side Up)

Sneakers

We were tired after a day on the boat so just grilled hotdogs and hamburgers for dinner that night.

Maui 2025 (Sunny Side Up)

Yellow Dress, Crochet Dress, Raffia Slides, Crossbody Handbag Here & Here

The next night we went to a favorite restaurant! Ad and I were excited to dress up. I love the fit of this white dress so much! El would never wear a dress if she didn’t have to. Ha. That’s what I love about Maui.. anything goes!

Maui 2025 (Sunny Side Up)

Can’t believe how fast this one is growing. Moms of teen boys Kole and I love these baggy jeans! I bought them for him in a darker denim and black too.

Maui 2025 (Sunny Side Up)

I always have more pics with Ad because El loves taking pictures but hates being in them! She’s always with us off to the side. ;) Addison started drinking Coke Zero this summer and Kenny and El have been teasing us. Apparently the circle is now complete and the two of us are identical in every way to our core.

Maui 2025 (Sunny Side Up)

Not the best lighting but this is Hula Grill and it’s our family favorite! We have a lot of restaurants we love in Maui but this is our #1. We’re facing a view of the ocean. So beautiful and great food!

Maui 2025 (Sunny Side Up)

After dinner the 3 of us went night swimming again. (Thanks for humoring us with a selfie El.)

Maui 2025 (Sunny Side Up)

I did a night swim/hot tub session almost every night with my girls. Then we all pile in the villa living room with the boys for a movie.

Maui 2025 (Sunny Side Up)

Morning walk! No question why Maui is a favorite vacation spot. When the kids were young we did a lot more family planned activities and I still need to share fun ideas if you are visiting for the first time. But now that the kids are older and we don’t have as much time with them in our every day lives we love escaping to just go on walks and hikes, swim and snorkel, and then eat dinner and watch movies. Time spent together! I treasure these trips.

Maui 2025 (Sunny Side Up)

A few more pics from morning walks..

Maui 2025 (Sunny Side Up)

Shaved Ice is always a must on the island. I have been loving these studio dance pants. My girls have loved them for a while and I finally caved and bought a pair. The blue is so fun!

Maui 2025 (Sunny Side Up)

Maui 2025 (Sunny Side Up)

I couldn’t love this dress more.

Maui 2025 (Sunny Side Up)

Dress,  Handbag Here & Here, Similar Wedges, Kole’s Shirt, Kole’s Pants, Adidas Shoes

Leilani’s is another favorite splurge restaurant. Kenny and I used to always come here together for our Maui date night and leave the kids in the room with pizza (with my parents when they were young and alone as they got older). Now that Kenny and I can go to dinner alone anytime and we rarely have the whole family together we take everyone to Leilani’s. Funny how that changes so quickly right!? You go from needing a break from the kids to longing to be with them. Time is a thief.

Saturday 6

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

Happy Saturday! We all survived another May and lived to tell about it. I hope you’re feeling as good about that as I am.. it’s no small feat! I actually remember thinking this month wouldn’t be as busy for us this year with both girls in college. I was wrong. :) But today was Kole’s last day of school and the performances and activities and weddings and birthdays and graduations and all the things are finished. I’m so excited for a couple of summer months with my kids all home! We kicked off the party today with Addison’s birthday. Pink drinks for all!

Except give me a Coke Zero. ;)

1 – FATHER’S DAY GIFT IDEAS

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

Father’s Day is right around the corner and these gifts are too cute!

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

Dad Box

This box is perfect to fill with favorite treats. Really you could use it to hold any small gifts. I love the blue and it’s only $10!

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

I picked up this hat and cute coupon book to help Kole out this year too. :)

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

Dad Coupon Book, Dad Hat

My kids have made their own personalized coupon books before (another fun gift idea!) but this was such a good one I couldn’t pass it up. It’s full of fun activities..

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

Dad Coupon Book

and other gifts for dad. :)

2 – TARGET RUN

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

American Flag Hoodie, Striped Short Sleeve Sweater, USA Tee, USA Hat

A few other cute things that HAD to come home with me during a late night Target run for end of the year gifts! So cute for the 4th of July! The stitch sweater is so fun and comes in navy too.

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

Merci Hat,Lemon Hat, Long Knit Cover-Up, Knit Shorts, Seashell Necklace

I also fell hard for this long knit cover-up! It’s so flattering. So are the knit shorts and the hats are perfect for summer.

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

Knit Sweater, PAIGE Jeans, Raffia Sandals

This is the knit sweater on.. love it too!

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

Comforter

I also picked up this long time favorite comforter. I have it on our guest bed and Ellie’s bed and I’m putting it on our master bedroom bed for a few months. The comforter we have is getting too hot for summer!

3 – ORGANIZED DRAWER

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

BEFORE

I had one bathroom drawer left that never got organized and it has been beyond scary for months!

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

AFTER 

Felt so good to finally get that done! It’s a catch all drawer for extras so it’s easy to toss things in when I don’t know what to do with them. Most items needed to be moved or donated or trashed.

4 – MARBLE BOWL

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

Marble bowl, Woven Tray, Ceramic Vase, Faux Blossoms (similar) 

My latest obsession is this stunning marble bowl!

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

Marble bowl, Woven Tray, Ceramic Vase, Faux Blossoms (similar) 

I have wanted it for so long! Kenny gave it to me for Mother’s Day this year. He might have had a small hint or two. :)

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

Marble bowl

SO BEAUTIFUL. I was going to put something in it but it’s so gorgeous I’m loving it just on it’s own!

5 – SNACK CONTAINERS

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

If you’re like me and decide to actually lock down on eating healthy in the summer when it’s swimsuit season (instead of being smart and starting in January) you might appreciate this tip.. ha. I’m loving these snacks containers! They are perfect for a healthy snack to grab and go. I’m always eating in my car and I’ve been using these to prep a few healthy snacks for the week.

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

They are just the right size for some fruit and greek yogurt, carrots and hummus, celery and peanut butter, cheese and crackers/nuts, etc. They would actually be perfect for little kids too!  I like them for portion control. I’ll keep eating whatever is in front of me so with this I have my little snack and then know it’s time to be done!

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

They come in a pack of 20 and are dishwasher safe and stack nicely in the fridge!
Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

Snackle Box 4 (Sunny Side Up)

Snackle Box

This is also a must have for summer snacking! Perfect for road trips or a day at the pool or beach. :)

Snackle Box 2 (Sunny Side Up)

Snackle Box

6 – VACATION PACKING

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

Garment Rack, Crossbody Bag, (You can also find it HERE)

Heading to our favorite vacation spot soon and I bought this gold garment rack to help me pack. HOW have I not had a clothes rack like this before!? It has been so nice to have these items out of my closet and I can just slowly add to it when I think of something I need for the trip. In the future I want to use it to hang my outfits for the week. I used to do that with my girls when they were little! It saved us so much time in the morning. I’m hoping it helps me get out of my rut of wearing the same few things over and over! I’ll share more pics of what I’m wearing on our trip but you probably recognize a lot of this from past posts. :)

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

Scalloped White Tank, PAIGE Jeans, Raffia Sandals

This is one tank I bought for the trip and it’s selling out so quickly! It’s darling and screams summer.

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

I’m still debating which of these 3 beach bags to take and am hoping I can fit them all. Kenny walked by right when I snapped this.. Not sure what’s happening here but I guess he wanted to say hello to you all too. Ha.

I hope you can relax and enjoy your weekend!

:)

Sunday Edit

(Americana Wreath – on sale!)

Remembering those who made the ultimate sacrifice this weekend.. so much gratitude! I hope you are all enjoying the long weekend with loved ones. Kenny and my girls have been in New York the past few days (they do an annual dad/daughter trip!) and they just got back so I’m looking forward to having the whole crew home together tomorrow. They saw a few Broadway shows including Stranger Things. I LOVE that series! I was home with Kole doing all the end of year May activities so hoping I can see it someday too! My round-ups this week included a lot of Memorial Day sales (so good this year!) and fun recent orders. Enjoy and have a great start to your week!

1 – PEONY SEASON

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

Happy Saturday and happy Peony season! I always get excited when they start popping up at Trader Joes. A sure sign of summer! Have you been surviving Maycember? It’s always such a crazy month. I’m behind on posting so grab some popcorn! I’m sharing ALL the things today. :)

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

I took this one last year. They make me happy. :)

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

Frida Vase

I can’t see peonies and not bring some home! They always look so pretty in this long time favorite vase and it’s on sale right now!

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

It’s watertight so I don’t need to do this but I a lot of times I set a tall glass in my vases to fill with water. Works great for vases that can’t get wet and is just easy to keep things clean and change the water quickly.

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

Tall Quin Vase/Green Faux Branches/Celia Woven Tray/Frida Vase

I usually pair peonies with these faux green stems.. always a pretty combo for summer!

2 – SUNSCREEN

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

SPF 
This sunscreen! Where has it been all of my life!? It’s a little pricey but SO lightweight and it disappears as soon as you put it on your skin! Feels amazing. I’ll report back after I’ve used it for a full day in the sun. A friend who is an esthetician recommended it to me and I’m loving it so far.

3 – RECENT FASHION FINDS

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

Contrast Detail Cotton Dress (Astr) / Contrast Detail Cotton Dress (Nordstrom) / Clemons Espadrille / Strapless Bra / Seashell Pearl Necklace

A few recent fashion favorites.. LOVE this cute cotton dress! I fell hard as soon as I saw it on-line and really hoped it would be a cute fit. It is! So comfortable and a perfect summer/ vacation dress. Isn’t the necklace fun too!? That’s the Target seashell necklace I shared in a past post. It’s adjustable so you can make it as short/long as you like. I linked my favorite strapless bra too!

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

I have it on with a pair of wedges I’ve had for years (linked a similar pair above) but it also looks really cute with a thin sandal or flip-flops.

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

Kaylia Tie Neck Minidress / Classic Half Slip / Butterfly Necklace /Strap Sandal

This is another dress I’m in love with! Definitely a splurge dress. I have a few summer events in mind that it will be perfect for. It’s so flattering with a higher waist and the collar, puff sleeves and black tie are perfection! It’s on the short side (I’m 5’3 1/2) and it runs a little small. I’m usually a 2 in dresses and the 2 worked but I felt more comfortable in a 4 so if you’re in-between sizes I would go up one. You definitely need a slip with this one and I linked my all time favorite half slip that I wear all the time. It’s so lightweight and thin I can’t even tell I have it on!

Spring Purses (Sunny Side Up)

Bamboo Top Handle Bag / Checkered Runner

Clearly I’m a fan of the black and cream with a tie look. :)

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

A few new swim finds! This cover-up is so cute and I could NOT resist this blue swim tank. It’s such a gorgeous fit and color! I ordered these bottoms to go with it (I have them in green and black and love the way they fit too). I can’t get enough of Robin Piccone swimwear. Hand down my favorite brand for suits! (They fit true to size.. I always wear xs on top and a small on bottom.) 

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

Slingback Heels

Stylish heels for an upcoming event! They are surprisingly comfortable for a high heel and I love the neutral color that will work with any and all dresses.

Nordstrom is having their Half Yearly Sale! Below are a few things I think are worth debating! Several are in my cart at the moment. :)



4 – MCGEE SALE

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

Eucalyptus Stems, Woven Vase

This gorgeous woven vase is also on sale this weekend! I ordered during the last Mcgee sale. It’s so beautiful! I’ve been using it with my Eucalyptus stems. It comes with a clear glass vase that sits inside of it if you wanted to use it with real flowers/stems too.

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

Eucalyptus Stems, Woven Vase

I snapped this pic just so you can see how large this is.. ha. A lot bigger than my head! :) One of those items that makes a statement!

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

Pillow Cover

A couple other favorites on sale.. this cute stripe pillow cover.

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

 McGee Pillow Cover, Velvet Chair, LadderCream Throw Blanket, Coral Throw Blanket, Floor Lamp

So is this beautiful floral pillow and do you remember the Amazon look alike?

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

Amazon Pillow Cover , Velvet Chair

SO GOOD right!? Almost identical. I have 2 of the Amazon floral pillows in my living room on two chairs and keep the Mcgee version on this brown chair in my family room.

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

 Pillow Cover, Velvet Chair, LadderCream Throw Blanket, Coral Throw Blanket, Floor Lamp

 

Spring Updates (Sunny Side Up){Vase, Fake Tulips, Glass Bunny, Coffee Table, Lemon Book, Woven Tray, Made for Living Book, Fabric Box (similar)}

This beautiful round woven tray on my coffee table is on sale this weekend!

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

Linen Board 

So is the linen board in my office! I could only find a Christmas pic of it. :)

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

Braxton Outdoor Table/Plant Pots, Floral Pillow, Similar Stripe Pillow HERE & HERE & HERE

So are my outdoor tables. LOVE them. Below are a few other Mcgee favorites on sale!



5 – SWEATSHIRTS

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

Lemon Sweatshirt, Lemon Sweatpants , Jeans, Sneakers (similar)

I know it’s heating up for most of you but we always get cool, cloudy weather in May and June. I found a couple of cute sweatshirts that have been keeping me warm on cool days! I couldn’t resist the lemon one of course. It comes with cute matching sweatpants too.

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)Jeans, Sneakers (similar), Sweatshirt

I knew my husband would like this sweatshirt so had to get it too. :)

6 – TRAMPOLINE/YARD

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

Our in-ground trampoline had seen better days so we went to replace it and realized there was a bigger issue going on (always a fun discovery right!?).

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

Tree roots were causing issues and we had to replace the entire framing lumbar.

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

It has looked like this all week with caution tape around it.. ha.

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

But now we are up and running with a brand new trampoline ready for summer! We did a little research and liked this trampoline best. It comes with a net if you need one! This in ground trampoline was hands down the smartest thing we put in our yard when our kids were young. They used it more than they used the pool! Now the teens still jump once in a while and we always have friends’ kids on it throughout the year. This wasn’t a project we were expecting or excited to pay for but happy that it’s done. :)

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

We also planted some new flowers in our front yard. I can’t wait to see them take off!

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

I added more roses in a few spots around the house too but they aren’t blooming yet. The iceberg roses lining our driveway have been here since we built our house and I love coming home to them.

Wishing you sunshine and flowers this weekend! May is a beautiful month!

If we could only slow down to enjoy it. ;)

Saturday 6 (but make it 16!)

college dorm life (Sunny Side Up)

Happy Saturday! I hope you had a good week and are surviving May! My girls finished their finals this week and we got Addison moved out of her dorm and back home with us again. (And by “we” I mean Kenny.. he did all the heavy lifting!) Ellie will join us in a couple of weeks after some fun things she has going on with friends. Summer can officially begin! If you need Ad and I you know where to find us. :)

Pocket Hug

She took her pocket hug to every exam for good luck this year and always sent me a pic on her way! I saved every picture and want to put her little pocket hug in a frame next to her diploma someday. I can’t believe her Freshman year is over!

For today’s Saturday 6 I’m sharing my absolute favorites of all the favorites! I wanted my tried and true “must haves” to all be in one place on my blog, but honestly it was so hard to narrow them down! Keeping it to just 6 was out of the question so here are my 16 favorite items I swear by and love the most! Many of you have seen these items before and some of you could probably write this post for me. ;)

Items I swear by (Sunny Side Up)

Skin Towels

1 – Skin Towels  My clean skin towels! So soft on your skin! Sometimes I use them to take off my make-up. Most of the time I use them to dry my face after I wash it and then I use it to wipe off my bathroom counter. LOVE them.

Items I swear by (Sunny Side Up)

Moisturizer with SPF

2 – Moisturizer with SPF  This is what I use on my face for my daily sunscreen! I’ve used it for years and put it on under my make-up every day. It so light and barely tinted. Just enough to smooth out my skin! I love using it when I exercise too and don’t want to wear make-up. It looks great and feels great on my skin and I don’t go a day without it.

Items I swear by (Sunny Side Up)

Tinted Eye Cream and Complete Eye Cream

3 – Tinted Eye Cream and Complete Eye Cream  I’m 48 years old and my eyes are definitely where I am seeing the most signs of age! These two products save me every day. I use the complete eye cream at night before I go to bed and then I put on the illuminating tinted eye cream in the morning. These two products help so much with fine lines and dark circles! I have used them for years and have no plans to live without them. I linked all of my favorite CR products but if I had to pick just two these would be it!

Items I swear by (Sunny Side Up)

Hair Dryer1 inch Curling Iron

4 – T3 Hair Tools My beloved hair tools! I have loved all things T3 forever. I especially love their blow dryer and the 1 inch curling iron. I have all sizes but use my 1 inch curling iron the most!

Items I swear by (Sunny Side Up)

Hair Dryer/Brushes, Flat Iron

5 – GHD Flat Iron  T3 makes a great flat iron too, but I bought the GHD flat iron to try a couple of years ago during the Nordstrom sale and have never looked back! If you have thick hair the 2 inch is SO GOOD. So many of my friends bought it after I recommended it and love it too!

Items I swear by (Sunny Side Up)

Hair Finishing Stick

6 – Hair Finishing Stick  This little beauty goes with me everywhere. I have one in my purse, one in my car, one in my bathroom. It tames fly aways and I always have fly aways! I notice them most in my rear view car mirror which is why I keep one in my car.. ha.

Items I swear by (Sunny Side Up)

Sheets/Extra Deep Sheets

7 – Sheets/Extra Deep Sheets  My long time favorite sheets! We have these on every bed in our house. I’ve tried a few others here and there but always go back to these. They are so silky soft and for the price I can easily replace them every year or two.

Items I swear by (Sunny Side Up)

Bikini Top, Bikini Bottoms,  Flip Flops, Cover-up  Bag (similar) 

8 – Cover-up/Flip Flops Two long time must haves here! I can’t imagine a summer without my favorite flip flops and this cover-up! I have used them both for more yeas than I can count. The cover-up just comes in one size and ties on the side and is perfect to toss on at the beach or pool. It’s a soft material and hangs so flattering. It also washes so well.. I’ve had mine for over 7 years and it still looks brand new!

Items I swear by (Sunny Side Up)

Loving Tan, Tanning Mitt

9 – Loving Tan  My favorite tanning lotion! I have tried so many and can’t find anything I love as much as this. I always use the tanning mitt and it goes on so even and smooth and dries quickly. It lasts for about a week. Tried and true favorite!

Items I swear by (Sunny Side Up)

Colette Cropped Wide Leg Pant, White Tee (similar),  Raffia Sandals, Bag (similar)

10 – Colette Pants/Raffia Sandals  Favorite clothes! My Colette pants would definitely be at the top of the list. I have them in 4 different colors (I wear green the most of course!) and couldn’t love them more. So comfortable and they are easy to dress up or down. I also swear by these raffia sandals and was so happy they brought them back again this year! I now have 2 pairs of them. Aside from looking so cute with everything they are also incredibly comfortable.

Items I swear by (Sunny Side Up)

White Top, Anessa Jeans at Anthro / Anessa Jeans at Nordstrom, Raffia SandalsButterfly Necklace

11 – Anessa Jeans  I’m a broken record with these jeans but I can’t have a favorites post without them! I actually have to remind myself to not put them on every day because it’s becoming a problem and the other pants in my closet are feeling neglected. Ha.. they are SO GOOD! :)

Items I swear by (Sunny Side Up)

Butterfly Necklace

12 – Butterfly Necklace  Butterflies are special to our family because my grandma loved them so much. I was incredibly close to my grandma growing up and she passed away when I was in high school. Ellie is named after her. :) Whenever my mom sees a butterfly she tells us it’s her mom watching over us. I bought this necklace about a year ago thinking of my grandma and haven’t taken it off much since. Aside from the sentimental meaning to me, this little gold butterfly is a perfect dainty accent that looks good with any and all tops.

Items I swear by (Sunny Side Up)

Planter Pot, Faux Black Olive Tree

13 – Faux Black Olive Tree  Such a good faux tree! I have bought MANY faux trees through the years but if I had to choose a favorite this would be it. A couple of my friends have bought it after seeing it in my house.. it’s just so good and incredibly realistic in person. (It comes in a 7 and 9 inch and this is the 7 inch which I like best! You can easily make it taller by adding a large pot and stacking books or something under it.) 

Items I swear by (Sunny Side Up)

Oven Liner

14 – Oven Liner  This is my newest favorite on the list! But WOW.. talk about a cleaning game changer! I can’t believe I scrubbed my oven underneath the racks for years not knowing about these oven liners. I will never go without them again!

Items I swear by (Sunny Side Up)

Makeup Bag

15 – Makeup Bag  Sorry.. I know you’ve seen this makeup bag a hundred times! But it truly is such a favorite for travel. At this point Ellie has it in black, Ad has it in pink, I have it in white and woven khaki and I’ve given it countless times for gifts. At our high school friend reunion trip last year we had a little favorite things party and this is what I brought so we can all have the same make up bag when we travel. It’s just too good to not share!

Items I swear by (Sunny Side Up)

Makeup Bag

Holds ALL the things. :)

Items I swear by (Sunny Side Up)

Vuori Joggers/XL Travel Backpack/Sneakers

16 – Vuori Joggers/XL Travel Backpack  I’ll wrap up this post with my beloved travel backpack! I don’t leave on a trip without it. It’s expandable, durable, looks cute and makes my life so much easier in an airport. I’m a major over packer and it helps me fit anything I couldn’t squeeze into my suitcase! Vuori joggers are also a long time favorite that I have in more colors than I want to admit. Most days you can bet that I’m wearing my Anessa jeans or my Vuori joggers.

So that’s it! My favorites of ALL the favorites. Did you guess any of them? Was there anything new you don’t remember or have you seen all of these before? Have you bought any of these items after seeing them here? Was there something you thought would make the list that didn’t? If you knew most of these items thank you for being a committed reader! Ha. If you have time, share one of your favorites with me! I would love to try it. :) Grateful to have you all in my life to discuss fun things like favorites and fashion and decorating and organizing and life with kids and life without kids and all of the life in-between.

Sunday Edit (Sunny Side Up)

Happy Mother’s Day! Wishing you all a beautiful Sunday! I’m feeling extra grateful for this crew and for my mom and for a day to celebrate all of the amazing moms in our lives. All I want for Mother’s Day is time with my kids so bring on summer! :) Sunday Edit is a short one this week but how cute are the spring sandals I rounded up!? I have several pairs already and a couple more in my on-line cart. Thinking Mother’s Day is the perfect time to get them out of my cart and heading my way. ;) I’m also sharing some fun summer clothes (feeling blue at the moment!), your favorites from last week and recent orders (I picked up a few more bow makeup bags for gifts!). Moms – I hope you feel how loved and appreciated you are today!

Saturday 6

1 – BODY RESET

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

Happy Saturday! YEA for the weekend. How is everyone surviving May!? It feels like we hit this time of year and life just gets busy doesn’t it!? Whether it’s school activities picking up before the year winds down, special occasions, or planning for summer travel/activities May madness is real. Coke Zero and a good podcast is how I cope when life gets busy. It’s also how I cope when things aren’t busy if I’m being honest. I spent a lot of time in my car this week and snapped this pic to send a friend. I’m just realizing and kind of laughing that the podcast I was listening to is called Body Reset (all about diet and exercise) while I drink my Coke and munch on chicken nuggets. Ha. It’s the thought that counts right!? :)

2 – PILLOWS/FLOATS

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

{outdoor side table/plant pots}

I ordered a new outdoor pillow and absolutely love it!

Outdoor Pillows (Sunny Side Up)

Plant Pots, Floral Pillow, Similar Stripe Pillow HERE & HERE & HERE

This blue and green floral.. isn’t it pretty!? A stripe and a floral with the same color scheme is always a good pillow combo inside or out!

Outdoor Pillows (Sunny Side Up)

Floral Pillow, Similar Stripe Pillow HERE & HERE & HERE

Summer perfection in my opinion. :)

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up Blog)

These are all pretty pillow options I’m loving for outdoors!

Outdoor Pillows (Sunny Side Up)

If you look closely behind the outdoor pics above you’ll see the disaster sitting on my dining nook table. It’s always a dumping ground when I’m decorating and moving things around! Just keeping it real. :)

Outdoor Pillows (Sunny Side Up)

Inflatable Swan (similar)

Also if we’re keeping it real this is where our swan has been living during some windy, rainy days.

Outdoor Pillows (Sunny Side Up)

Pool Float

I couldn’t resist getting this inflatable lounge float to chill with our swan in the pool this summer. So cute! It has a cup holder for a drink and bonus..

it matches my new outdoor dishes! I might not come back inside this summer. :)

3 – AMAZON WINS

Oven Liner (Sunny Side Up)

oven liner

A few months ago I cleaned out my oven and decided I was done with the constant mess below the racks. I looked around for something to help keep it clean and landed on these oven liners! I wish I would have discovered them years ago.

Oven Liner (Sunny Side Up)

oven liner

Just slide them on the bottom of your oven and they catch all the spills! They are so easy to clean. Food easily wipes off and they are inexpensive so if a liner ever gets too dirty you can just replace them. Thought I’d share in case this is a new discovery for anyone else!

Amazon bowl (Sunny Side Up)

Scalloped Bowl

Another recent Amazon favorite. Isn’t this a pretty scalloped bowl!? Perfect for fruit or to sit on a coffee table or shelf.

4 – SHELL/BEACHY FINDS

Beach Bag (Sunny Side Up)

Seashell Bag

I ordered this cute bag for summer.. shells and all things beachy like this have been trending for a while and this purse is just FUN. Below are a few other similar options I’m loving!

Necklace

I ordered this cute necklace to wear this summer.

Scarf Tote

This scarf tote is the cutest! Time to head to the beach. :)

5 – FAVORITE ART

Favorite Art (Sunny Side Up)

Wall Art

Sharing some favorite art (new and old) around my house! This print has a glass frame over it so I had to turn it sideways to photograph. It’s so beautiful!

Favorite Art (Sunny Side Up)

Wall Art

I had this on my shelf but I’m moving it to a new spot. I love a good nature scene with lots of green. :)

Favorite Art (Sunny Side Up)

Square Canvas, Tree Wall Art

This is another gorgeous framed print and the canvas behind it that’s usually on my console table is back in stock. I love both options!

Favorite Art (Sunny Side Up)

Landscape Wall Art

Longtime favorite!

Favorite Art (Sunny Side Up)

Landscape Wall Art

I love this landscape print because it looks like spring, summer and fall. Every time the season changes I go to take it down and decide it still works. :)

Favorite Art (Sunny Side Up)

Fruit Wall Art

This is such a cute print too! It’s in my kitchen at the moment.

Favorite Art (Sunny Side Up)

Fruit Wall Art

Along with this one..

Favorite Art (Sunny Side Up)

Citrus Canvas

and this one. :)

Favorite Art (Sunny Side Up)

Summer Wall Art

This is another pretty landscape in my powder bathroom. About a month ago we had an earthquake here in San Diego and this print hit the floor and made the loudest crash! I was in the kitchen working on my computer and felt the whole house shake. It was surreal! I was just about to run to get under a door frame and then it stopped. I checked around the house and this art was the only thing that fell. I probably should move it or attach it to the wall! I’m just happy it didn’t break. My landscapes are in tact! All is well. :)

Favorite Art (Sunny Side Up)

Wildflower Wall Art

Last but not least is this beautiful wildflower print in my bedroom. It’s similar to the print over my fireplace and works so well through all the seasons.

6 – YARD

Backyard (Sunny Side Up)

Ending with a few pics from the yard! Our pretty purple and pink flowers are taking over and making me so happy.

I never wrote a post about our outdoor fountain. I have pics of it from start to finish if anyone is interested? Let me know! I love the sound of running water.

And weekends!

I hope you enjoy yours. :)

Summer Hosting

Summer Hosting (Sunny Side Up)

Umbrella, Dining Set (similar) 

Who is ready for summer hosting!? Or summer dining? Or just summer in general? All of the above for me! My girls are in the middle of finals then moving home for the summer in one week! Kole is out of school at the end of May. So ready to get everyone out of school and under one roof again. :)

I’m also excited to have friends over in the backyard to swim and eat and chat and I found the cutest dishes and accessories to use all summer long!

Summer Hosting (Sunny Side Up)

{Dining Console, Rattan Beverage Tub, Drink Dispenser, Woven Caddy, Round Serving Tray}

How fun is this set!? I couldn’t love this beverage tub, drink dispenser, serving tray and caddy more. The rattan wrap is summer perfection!

Summer Hosting (Sunny Side Up)

{Braided Jute Runner, Blue Cups, Cloth Napkins, Blue Plates, Large Plaid Plates, Braided Jute Charger}

As soon as these cute items landed on my doorstep I set up an outdoor tablescape to try them out! LOVE the braided jute runner. I will use this time and time again through all the seasons. It’s nice and long and was such a good price.

Summer Hosting (Sunny Side Up)

And these chargers! Are you kidding!? Braided jute with a crochet trim. SO cute. I got the blue to match these plates but they also come in ivory. You can flip them on the other side to see more of the crochet trim for a different look. The blue and green plaid plates are so fun with these coordinating napkins.

Summer Hosting (Sunny Side Up)

I love this foldable serving tray to hold snacks or fruit too!

Summer Hosting (Sunny Side Up)

{Braided Jute Runner, Braided Jute Charger, Plaid Plates, Cloth Napkins, Napkin Rings, Blue Cups, Serving Tray, Blue Candle}

I added this pretty blue candle because it smells so good! It will probably land on my coffee table when I’m not using it to entertain.

Terracotta Vase, Flower Bundle, Blue Plates

For a centerpiece I used this long time favorite vase with a pretty blue flower bundle I bought last summer. It looks like the larger size is back in stock this year! It’s so gorgeous. I’m adding the large bundle to my wish list because I have used this small bundle so much. You just set it in a vase and done! I also ordered these cute blue appetizer plates. They have a green trim and the cutest curvy edge!

Summer Hosting (Sunny Side Up)
