Dawn's Favorite Things for Summer!

I thought since Oprah does it, I will too! Here are a few of my favorite things for summer! I would love to know some of yours!

1. Coppertone Sunless Tanning Moisture Mist - I just discovered this one a couple of weeks ago. It goes on great, no smell, and the color is very even. I love the sun, but have been trying to do a little less sunbathing as I get older :)

2. Metallic Flip Flops - Target $12 - These are so cute with jeans, capris, or shorts, and they are super comfortable. I have gotten lots of compliments on them.

3. Starbucks Passion Tea Lemonade - This tastes like summer. It is good sweetened or unsweetend.

Blake's Hair

Blake's hair is definitely one of his defining trademarks. Last year he decided to give modeling a try. He enjoys it, and of course his big selling factor is the hair, but it was getting to be a little too much. So, today he got a much needed shape up. His baseball coach will be disappointed we did this AFTER baseball season :)

My 3 Sons...

Who would have thought 14 years ago we would be on this journey. These 3 boys have made parenting a joy. Don't get me wrong, we have our daily struggles, but the happiness they give far out weighs anything else. We are homeschoolers, and have been only for the past 2 years. I brought our oldest son, Powell, home after 6th grade to finsh out his middle school years at home. It is hard to believe next year he will return to school, but as a freshman in high school. How did that happen?? Our middle son, Blake, will be in the 7th grade, and our youngest, Bennett, a 5th grader. So, as our school year comes to a close, I am reminded of how lucky I am to be a SAHHM (stay at home homeschooling mom).
