Our Memorial Day Weekend

We had a nice, WARM weekend...which was so fun! Summer is officially here!

On Saturday, we went down to the river outside our house.

That night, our friends had us over for dinner and the boys ended the night with a bath and popsicles...how fun to be a kid, right?

I wore my new romper and love it! I think it's super flattering and comfy--win-win! The pom pom trim is super cute too!

On Sunday, we hung out in the backyard...and filled the pool for some fun in the sun!

That night, we had date night at one of our favorite restaurants, Freshies. The rooftop deck opens Memorial Day Weekend and we love the views.

My dress/top is old but here are some similar options!

Monday was the best day because we had our first beach day of the year! It was gorgeous and it makes me SO excited for the summer. It's my favorite time of year here! We got to spend time with Wyatt's little girlfriend Emerson and Ethan tried hanging with the older girls, his cousins!

That night we made protein-style turkey burgers! These were amazing and from Sun Basket...and it made for the perfect Memorial Day meal.

I hope you all had a great weekend...and scored some fun things during all the sales!

Baby's Bedroom Routine Tips

Ahh the bedroom routine...otherwise known as the song + dance leading up to happy hour(s) for most of us! Bedtime with two kids is no joke...and we still do it in two phases. Wyatt goes down between 7-7:30pm, which for the record, is about an hour earlier than we ever put Ethan down. Ethan goes to bed between 8-8:30pm, so it is about a two hour routine every night!

After dinner, we usually try to give the boys a bath...though, lately, Ethan prefers to shower with us.

It's kind of hard to see here, but both our boys have suffered from bouts of eczema that flares up at bath time. We try to give a bath every other night--but you know how it goes with boys! More on our solution below.

After bath time, I get Wyatt dressed in his jammies and then we have some quiet time in his room...

Soft, cozy pajamas are super important and we were recently introduced to Softsie, an amazing brand of pajamas that is incredibly soft and they're infused with aloe, jojoba oil and vitamin E to soothe baby's skin. This has been a life savor for Wyatt...his eczema has definitely cleared up since he started wearing these. Definitely check them out if your baby has had similar issues, or you are just on the hunt for cozy PJs. There are two patterns, the mint and black + white pendant...adorable!

Wyatt loves to read before bedtime {normally it's me reading to him!}. He loves all the touch and feel books...his favorite is Pat the Bunny.

Afterwards, he'll drink a bottle and then we brush his teeth...

And then right as we're about to go down for bed...

He'll usually want to rough house with his brother and dad...typical!

A couple additional tips for bedtime...

+ We use a white sound machine {pictured above}

+ He still sleeps in a sleep sack

+ He LOVES his blankies

Even though it's quite the song and dance to get him to bed, we are really lucky that he sleeps through the night and typically wakes up after 7am. Can't complain about that!

What are your tips and tricks for getting baby to sleep at night?

Lately

First, thank you for all the kind, supportive and heartfelt comments from my post last week. It means so much to me and gives me courage to keep an open dialogue. I am beyond appreciative of this community for allowing me to share.

The past week has been a whirlwind with family in town and nicer weather. Here's what we've been up to lately!

We're loving the outdoors {great for your mental health too!} and Wyatt is just discovering the jungle gym at the park!

My dad and step-mom like to stay at a place on the lake...and of course the boys love running around on the beach!

We decided to go for a family hike out to Cascade Falls. If you're visiting the area, I highly recommend it. It's a pretty easy walk and it's the trailhead is located behind the lookout to Emerald Bay. This time of the year, the waterfall is flowing big time!
