1 – GHOST CANDLES

2 – LIGHT UP GHOST

Light Up Ghost / Decorative Tray

This is another ghost I’m excited about. It’s a perfect size to set on any shelf or table and I didn’t take a pic of it on, but it lights up so cute!

3 – GHOST GARLAND

Ghost Garland

Ok.. this ghost garland is just FUN. I held it up in my window just to see how it would look and it’s darling! I immediately ordered a second one and I’m not sure where they will go (over my front door or in a kitchen window or on a mantel maybe?) but so cute wherever they land.

Ghost Garland

The best part is that one long garland is only $14! Looks like something from PB for a lot more.

4 – GHOST TUMBLERS

White Ghost Cup Duo, Pink Ghost Cup

Cute gifts for a couple of friends who I know love ghosts too (unless my girls take them first!)! I also ordered these fun ghost straw covers to use on our other Stanleys. I mean.. if we’re doing ghosts this fall we might as well go all out. Ha.

5 – GHOST PILLOW

Ghost Pillow Cover / Pillow Insert / Jojo Oversized Throw / Floor Lamp 

I added a happy little lumbar ghost pillow in this corner to see if I liked it.

Ghost Pillow Cover / Pillow Insert / Jojo Oversized Throw

I wasn’t sure until I tried it with my new striped throw from the N sale. Now this combo I can get excited about. :)

Pillow Insert, Linen Pillow Cover, Ravenna Block Print Pillow Cover, Jojo Oversized Throw

I don’t want both striped throws in this same room though so I might move the ghost and black striped throw in my front living room. Luckily I have lots of time to make these life altering decisions. See why it’s good to start early!? Halloween in July land Christmas in October gives you plenty of time to mull things over. There is a method to this madness!

BRING IT ON.

With so much talk and hype about the Nordstrom sale and Amazon Prime Days I almost forgot about Target Circle Week! So many good Target sales that just last through today! These waffle towels are a crazy good deal and I just ordered this cute lamp on sale. If you are sending kids to college there are so many good deals in this college section on bedding, storage, supplies.. all the things! These baskets are perfect for organizing and a lot of cute bedding is 40% off!

Below are six items I have and love that are also marked down!

I’m also sharing your favorites from the week because I’ll be sharing more N sale favorites Sunday instead of my usual Sunday Edit post. Always so fun to see what you’re loving too. :) My brother and nephew are visiting to go to a couple of Padres games with Kenny so we’re having a fun weekend with them in town. I hope you have a fun Saturday too!

I can’t sleep without this now.. it stays on ALL night and keeps my lips so hydrated! I use it often during the day too!

Backpack

A few pics from our weekend! Major advantage of having a teenage son? Letting him tote around your heavy backpack and luggage while you carry his light as a feather belongings. :)

We flew to SLC to meet family and then headed to Deer Valley for a few days. Addison hadn’t seen my family in a year so it was a happy reunion with her grandparents and cousins!

This pic was from last year at the cabin we rented for my parent’s 50th wedding anniversary. We loved it so much that we rented it again this year for the 4th!

It’s HUGE so we can easily fit 3 families and my parents and feel like we aren’t on top of each other.

But even better than that is the view!

From the back deck.. I could sit and stare at this all day long. Kenny and I are always happiest in the mountains! Kind of funny that we live by the beach because we would both take mountains over the beach any day. But I won’t complain about either. :)

The basement is a perfect spot for all the kids to hang. Boys last year..

and this year one year older. So happy together!

We did a quick grocery run and were laughing because I said we had to get Coke Zero, my dad wanted regular Coke and my mom needed her Diet Coke. Basically we’ll just take it all thank you very much! And thank you Kenny for lugging it all inside for us. Now it feels like home. :)

Usually we hit so many activities for the 4th but the kids are all growing up and the teens all wanted to sleep in and hang at the cabin! We had such a nice and relaxing long weekend.

We ate out, hiked mountains, talked for hours on the deck, watched movies, tried to make a homemade pizza and burned it miserably..

and watched lots of turkeys. And deer. Deer valley is full of deer. :)

Ellie couldn’t make it this year (pic of her with my dad last year) and we missed her so much! I’m already looking forward to when we’re all together again over the holidays.

Nothing like fireworks and family time. :)

Enjoy your day and I’ll be back with more sale favorites! (Do you hear the Rocky music!? It’s getting louder over here..)

;)

1 – HOSTESS GIFT

2 – SUMMER PARTY

We used the same pizza crew as last year. They make it in the front yard and bring it back. SO good!

We’ve been eating pizza for a week!

3 – ART (back in stock!)

And THIS is new. So pretty for fall!

4 – AN ORGANIZING WIN

BEFORE

AFTER

The Nordstrom Sale is almost here! I’m excited. Are you excited? Get excited. :) I’ve been going through the preview and have my favorites picked! I’ll start sharing them soon. I can hear the Rocky music.. it’s coming and I’m stretching. ;)

6 – ON MY PHONE

A few random pics on my iPhone that make me happy. Evening walks in the summer.

A snack on repeat.

Trader Joe’s Peonies.

Evening grocery runs with Addison. :)

Have a beautiful weekend!

Denim Dress (similar) / Flip Flops

Because this beloved holiday is so close I thought I would share a few fun ideas for decorating/entertaining and just overall family/friend time so that we can all be ready!

Snow Cone Machine

When this snow cone machine went on sale I knew we had to have it! My kids LOVE this thing. We had one a few years back and had snow cones all summer long. It works pretty well and they loved it so much. I finally donated it during the winter and when Addison and Kole found out it was gone they were devastated so I’m making it up to them! I guess I need to find a permanent spot for this in my pantry.

USA Trays, USA Trays (similar)

I shared these cute trays Saturday.. love that they can stand up as decor for your 4th of July table!

Or you can fill them with snacks. I like this mix of fruit with candy.. let’s try to eat healthy when possible but also BALANCE and let’s enjoy the m&m’s here and there too. ;)

USA Snack Box

I can’t pass these fun snack boxes up! Clearly I’m obsessed with them but how fun is this for the 4th!?

USA Snack Box

I would have loved these when my kids were little to take to the 4th of July parades! Fill them with snacks or let the kids use them to hold the candy they get at the parade.

Faux Stems

I ordered a Nothing Bundt Cake and it was cute decor with the flower and flag.

Skewers

This was a yummy snack that took no time – just strawberries, marshmallows, and blueberries.

{Round Chargers / Similar Striped Napkins / Similar Gingham Plates / Americana Salad Plates / Similar Flatware}

My long time favorite salad flag plates are on sale! So cute – I’ve used them for years.

Acrylic Flower Vase

My acrylic vase is so cute for 4th parties. Fill it will hydrangeas or a mix of red, white and blue flowers!

Fun idea for a table setting.

Or take the whole set up outside. Even better. :)

SOURCES

The items I used in this recent summer set up would also be so cute for the 4th! Just add some pops of red on the table and you’re set.

Summer staples!

This Feta and Tomato Dip I’ve shared many times has become a favorite at both the 4th of July and Christmas time! Recipe in this post.

Such a cute idea!

You know where I display our past holiday favorites. :)

Most Likely To Game

This is a fun game to play with a group of friends/family over the holiday break! We take it often when we travel. You can see a closer look at some of the cards my family chose for me in this post if you want more details on the game. It’s pretty simple and brings up a lot of funny stories/personality traits!

Below are some cute things I’m seeing on-line. The PB Icon glasses are SO cute (similar to Anthro’s) and they are on sale right now! They come in versions for ALL the holidays and are too much fun. I hope this round-up gave you a few ideas for the upcoming holiday! It’s such a fun time of year to bring people together. Can’t wait.

Then after the 4th we can start talking Christmas trees.

Kidding!

Kind of. :)

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.

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.

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!
