Pretty much my worst nightmare would be to sail across the sea in one of these ships. Those brave Vikings! These boats were so old and it's so hard to believe that they were able to sail as far as they did in them.</div>

So, the kids were required to wear wristbands the entire seven night cruise with Holland America life boat info on there...and pretty much the moment they put it on Ashby, she started pretending it was an Apple Watch ;). She answered calls, talked to Bowen, told us we were running late, called Lovie, texted me...she was very busy with her watch. Here she is "talking" to Bowen.</div>

...we all got pizza in our pjs together. Please note the look of pain in Smith's face. While we were getting his pizza, his drinking glass broke in his hands and cut him. Smith doesn't do blood well. At all. It was quite traumatic for him. But not traumatic enough to forgo pizza at 10:30 at night.</div>

After pancakes, we had tickets to visit the Anne Frank House. This was probably the highlight of Kensington's trip and something the whole family enjoyed. The last two times we went, you had to wait in line, but now, you can buy tickets in advance for specific time slots. We had tickets for 1:15. This was so much better than waiting in line for upwards of two hours! We bought them online about a month before we left for our trip.</div>

Every time I see the world, I take a little bit back home with me...and this time, I feel positive my big kids did too. We've continued to have some excellent conversations about the things they saw/did/experienced while we traveled, and we're already looking forward to our next adventure later this year. Best part of our trip? The focused time alone. Love this little family of mine more than I could ever say.</div>

So...we had big plans for our day in <span style="font-size: large;"><b>Kristiansand, Norway</b></span>...but due to the rain, we had to improvise. We were going to visit their zoo and rent bikes to ride. We had been so pumped about both of these activities...but because it was raining, they were both a no-go. When we got off the ship, we talked to the kids about our day and Smith said, "If you let us jump in puddles all day and get all wet, then we'll have the best day ever.". So...that's what they did. They jumped. And jumped. And jumped. And were soaking wet. And they had the BEST time. Who needs the zoo and bikes when you have puddles???</div>

The part we were most excited about was our Fjord Safari. We had researched this in advance and booked before we left the States. This safari takes you out on a speed boat to check out the Fjord. In order to board, you had to be decked out in all of this gear (water repellent warm suit, gloves, hat, googles and life vest). My kids were PUMPED!</div>

So...this was a small boat. I know. I was prepared for being sick. Like physically and mentally prepared. I could have skipped this...but then I would have missed the time with my family and the once in a lifetime experience. We booked a small boat with just one other couple included (in case I was super sick, I wouldn't be on a boat with like 50 other people). Funny enough, the random other couple who went with us on this safari had two adopted daughters back home. How cool is that? Specific things trigger my motion sickness like heat, slow boat moving and claustrophobia. Well, it was freezing on the water, the boat was a speed boat and it was completely open air, so that was all in my favor.</div>

On our way back, we looked right by us AND SAW WHALES! At first we saw a cluster of about nine and so we stopped and the tiniest little baby whale jumped out of the water. It was so surreal! Since we were on our way back, I had tucked my phone away in my suit, but I tried to dig for it as soon as we saw another cluster of about nine whales...<br />

...and of course, they were all under but do you see the water there? That's them right underneath with their backs and blow holes just at the surface level. It was completely crazy to see the whales that close. <br />

We got back on board right at the end of the day and headed to the front of the ship to watch the scenic touring of the fjord. I said "say cheese" just as Ashby got a nose bleed. Just a day in the life of us! #theresalwaysanosebleed #doctorssayshellgrowoutofit #hereishoping<br />

This time of year, the sun really only goes down for about three hours every night and it never gets totally dark out (you can always see some sunlight). So after dinner on these nights, we would sit out and watch the fjords. You could turn on the TV in your cabin and hear them explain the history and such of the fjords as you went through them. It took us 6 hours to get both in and out of this fjord. That's how big it was!</div>

Well hello.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've missed you guys!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We came back from our summer vacation on Sunday night and I have approximately 4 billion pictures to share with you. Settle in friends :). Here's our trip by the numbers:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
10 days on vacation.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2 different countries visited.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 birthday girl was celebrated.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
About 18 whales were spotted.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
0 times I threw up on a small boat (quite the little miracle!).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 black eye came home.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4,596 games of Crazy 8s were played.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2 to 3 hours a day was all the darkness we experienced (holy sunshine!).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4 fjords were explored.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
8,569,235 times Ashby said "I miss Bowen"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Too many laughs, hugs, kisses, cuddles and time together as a family to count. It was such a special little vacation.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, I'm always telling you how Andrew and I plan our family vacations way in advance. We plan, save, prepare, and decide typically two years before we depart. That being said, this trip has been in the works since 2011. Way back then, we decided that we wanted to visit Norway and specifically its fjords. That being said, that's a vacation for bigger kids (and in 2011, we had two babies). So, the years went by and we waited for the perfect time to take our family to Norway...and landed on this year. This trip was especially fun because of how much my big kids enjoyed planning and preparing for it. We all watched Rick Steves videos together preparing, my kids checked out books at their school library on Norway the entire month of May (which was funny because their little elementary school doesn't have that many books on Norway, so every week they would come home with the books the other one had just turned back in), we studied the Vikings beforehand and talked a lot about World War II and the Holocaust (especially about Anne Frank). We even watched <i>The Diary of Anne Frank</i> as a family (with the big kids only) and a documentary on the Holocaust. So, needless to say...we were all super pumped and ready to leave. And we decided to leave...</div>

(And pssst: because I just don't know a better way to do it, I'll link to random things below pictures when I think you'll ask me what we're wearing. Like <span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://bit.ly/28IH8R7" target="_blank">this shirt</a></b></span> for instance is that linen-like <b><a href="http://bit.ly/28IH8R7" target="_blank">Lush shirt</a></b> I can't stop wearing.

...our Norwegian Fjords Cruise.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So...if you want to see the fjords...you gotta be in a boat, right? And we all know that I don't do boats that well (to say the least!), so after lots of careful consideration, planning and research, we found a cruise that stopped inside the fjords PLUS toured them each evening. Win, win, win.</div>

We got on board our Holland America Line ship at noon and were so pumped! Inside each elevator, they change the rug daily to what day of the week it is and for some reason, we LOVED this. I'm going to need to get these rugs for my house :).</div>

Because we have a family of five, we had to get two cabins...which at first we thought was a big bummer (because we enjoyed having one cabin on our<b><a href="http://shullfamily.blogspot.com/2016/03/disney-cruise-day-1.html" target="_blank"> Disney Cruise</a></b>), but they were right next door to each other and having two cabins meant having two bathrooms, tubs, showers, etc and it ended up being really nice. I took pics of this cabin on day one before it was destroyed by our presence. This is us right after getting inside.</div>

It was the exact same size as our cabin on board the <b><a href="http://shullfamily.blogspot.com/2016/03/disney-cruise-day-1.html" target="_blank">Disney Magic</a></b> but...we had two of them, so there was plenty of room and two big balconies on the aft (rear) of the ship so we could see the fjords from both sides during our scenic cruising.</div>

On one of the balconies leaving Rotterdam. It took about 3 hours to leave the Rotterdam port because it was so large (one of the largest ports in the world!). We watched with binoculars as the Netherlands went by. <b><a href="http://shullfamily.blogspot.com/2016/06/norway-netherlands-2016-days-4-5.html" target="_blank">Next stop, the fjords!</a></b></div>

So, that's the beginning. I told Andrew that one of my favorite parts of this trip was all of the hand holding I did. As long as I live, I'll remember the hand holding. Walking as much as we did on this trip, there were always two people holding my hands...and that was just so sweet.<br />

...I'm working my way through <span style="font-size: large;"><b>Downton Abbey</b></span> (I'm on season four!) and for those of you well versed in the show, you know that I've been mourning quite a bit lately.

Today our Ashby London turns FOUR! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Four.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Four is big.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Four isn't a baby.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Four. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She's so pumped.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It has been such a blessing watching Ashby grow and blossom over the last 12 months. Her language has come so far, her physical abilities have grown, her little personality has blossomed, and she has been nothing but pure joy. Over the last 12 months, Ashby has completed her first year of preschool (which she LOVED), gone on 3 big vacations, had two surgeries (on the same day!), made new friends, learned to ride a tricycle, and has become obsessed with all things Disney Princess. #holycinderella </div>

What a blessing Ashby has been to us this year. We loved every minute of it! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On Sunday, we celebrated her birthday with friends at <b><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://shullfamily.blogspot.com/2016/06/ashbys-popsicle-party.html" target="_blank">Ashby's Popsicle Party</a></span></b> and today...well, today, we have BIG plans. This day will be extra fun for our four year old (and for everyone else too!). </div>

I will always wonder what it was like the day Ashby was born. What day was it exactly? What time? How much did she weigh? What did she look like? How long did her mom hold her? Love on her? Feed her? I will always wonder. As special as this day is for me, I know that it's equally as special and heartbreaking for another mother in China. May God bless her on this day as well.</div>

Happy birthday sweet Ashby London Shull. You just have no idea how blessed we are because of you. </div>

Friends...you know how I love binge watching a good series. I did a post last year about my favorite binge-worthy series that you can read <span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://shullfamily.blogspot.com/2015/02/fifty-two-shades-of-shay-binge-watching.html" target="_blank">here</a></b></span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> and the best part about the post is...the comment section! You ladies left the best suggestions for other binge-worthy shows right there. So in case you missed that post, you can see it </span><b style="font-family: times, 'times new roman', serif;"><a href="http://shullfamily.blogspot.com/2015/02/fifty-two-shades-of-shay-binge-watching.html" target="_blank">here</a></b><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> and </span><b style="font-family: times, 'times new roman', serif;">make sure you read the comments</b><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">!</span><br />

I love the town, the pancakes, the coffee, the dialogue, Luke, the coffee, Luke, the friends, the coffee and Luke. This show just makes me happy and is one I could watch over and over again. On a deserted island when I was tired of eating coconuts, raw fish and bugs...I could just watch an episode of this and pretend I was there in Luke's Diner with Lorelei and Rory. Love.</span></span></div>

Ashby has been telling me for months and months that she wanted a popsicle party at the pool (and by that, she means our neighborhood country club pool...because she's obsessed with the diving board). I'm pretty sure she was saying this <i>before</i> Christmas. This girl had her heart set. So, we made plans, invited her little friends and their families and headed off to the pool on Sunday afternoon.</div>

I took a picture of her birthday sign before we left because I knew things would get chaotic later. Isn't it so cute?!? For those of you who don't know, my friend makes these birthday signs (not for the public, I hate to say) and we hang them on <b><a href="http://shullfamily.blogspot.com/2014/06/whats-onyour-walls.html" target="_blank">our birthday wall</a></b> after each party.

So, we arrived at the pool ready to party! We were feeding our guests dinner and cupcakes, so upon their arrival late that afternoon, they got their popsicles :). Our birthday girl picked an orange push up pop! She was so excited about her party!</div>

Well...I was going to get my act together and stay up late last night so that today you could see the pics from Ashby's birthday party yesterday...but that didn't happen ;). Instead, we stayed up late having so much fun and then came home deliriously happy and tired and went to sleep. So, I'll share it tomorrow. That being said, I did post <b><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://mixandmatchmama.blogspot.com/2016/06/meal-planning-monday-139.html" target="_blank">Meal Planning Monday</a></span></b> today because I could write that post in advance ;).</div>

...not only have my kiddos grown physically, but they have matured so much over the last nine months too. It's bittersweet to wrap up this school year. We loved their teachers, we loved their classes, we loved everything about first and kinder...we're leaving on such a high note.</div>

Ahhhh! We had such a wonderful time on Saturday night at a neighborhood party. This was a favorite of mine FOR SURE! Speaking of favorites...<span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://bit.ly/24jiFFt" target="_blank">my black dress</a></b></span> there that you've now seen me in approximately 4,693 times. Well...after I wore it yet again on Saturday night, I went ahead and ordered a second one in <span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://bit.ly/24jiFFt" target="_blank">blue</a></b></span>. Because for $48...I needed two (or else I was going to wear the black one out!). It comes in <b><a href="http://bit.ly/24jiFFt" target="_blank">6 pretty colors</a></b> and I obviously just can't quit it :). And my new <b><a href="http://bit.ly/1WxiBCJ" target="_blank">summer earrings</a></b> are from Bauble Bar and are already sold out. Boo. You can find a multitude of similar ones <span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://bit.ly/1WxiBCJ" target="_blank">here</a></b></span> though also from Bauble Bar.</div>

Random I know...but I've been loving these Outshine popsicles. They come in a variety of flavors but I only buy the coconut...because I can't get enough coconut in my life. I was about to finish one the other day and snapped a pic for you. Who doesn't love popsicle season?!</div>

Okay...remember how<b><a href="http://shullfamily.blogspot.com/2016/04/friday-favorites-april-1st-edition.html" target="_blank"> a few weeks ago</a></b>, I told you ladies that I found this new Lancome <span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://bit.ly/1WxWBaK" target="_blank">lipstick</a></b></span> and <span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://bit.ly/24kcQr5" target="_blank">gloss</a></b></span> that I love? And several of you told me to try their <b><a href="http://bit.ly/24kcAZo" target="_blank">mascaras</a></b>? Well, I did and LOVED IT! So...I did something crazy...I tried one of their waterproof mascaras and a waterproof eyeliner...because come summertime, I often find myself in the pool at the end of the day and if I have on regular eye makeup, then I look all crazy when I get in and it runs everywhere. So, let me introduce you to my two new friends...</div>

I wore both over the weekend and my eye makeup never ran. Never. Now, if I'm home or head to the pool early in the morning, I just skip makeup. But take Sunday for instance...I went straight from church to my mom's house, so I put this on for church and then swam at my mom's and did not look all crazy eyed when I got out of the pool. #winning</div>

And these <b><a href="http://bit.ly/24kdIfl" target="_blank">lip pencils</a></b> are some of my favorite too because they stay on all day long and don't melt in your bag. And when you live in Texas and your bag is in the heat a lot...not melting is a big deal! I have <span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://bit.ly/24kdIfl" target="_blank">Roman Holiday</a></b></span> and <span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://bit.ly/24kdIfl" target="_blank">Sex Machine</a></b></span> but they come in a multitude of colors!</div>

Today is the last day of school. I can hardly believe how quickly this year flew by! It just seems like yesterday that I was nervous about Kensington going to kindergarten and now...she's completed first grade and Smith has completed kinder. This has been a great year for both kiddos and even though I'm thrilled that it's over and summer is here...I'm a little sad too because it's just another reminder about how fast time flies.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Okay, for all of you that do love a good book...I think I might have found my favorite fiction book of the year. I know! Last year, I named <i><b><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Royal-We-Heather-Cocks/dp/1455557102/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1450438606&sr=1-1&keywords=the+royal+we+book" target="_blank">The Royal We</a></b></i> my favorite fiction book (and <i><b><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Bread-Wine-Letter-Around-Recipes/dp/0310328179/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1450438774&sr=1-1&keywords=bread+and+wine+shauna+niequist" target="_blank">Bread & Wine</a></b></i> my overall favorite book)...but as for 2016, I now have my front runner (keep reading to see which one it is!). <br />

I have read several Sally Clarkson books before and always love them. She typically writes about motherhood and in this book, her oldest daughter co-writes with her about how they make sure they keep their house a home. She gives suggestions for each month of the year in this book, so it's full of wonderful, seasonal ideas for making your house more than just a house...but a home. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Clarkson is a woman of faith, so her words are always inspirational and encouraging. I'm telling you, you're going to want to put the book down, light a candle, turn on your fireplace, snuggle up with your family, play board games, drink hot tea and serve them a delicious dinner when you're done with this book. It is very inspiring, motivating and doable. Even if your kiddos are older and out of the nest (or you don't have kids!), she gives ideas about making your house a home for outside guests too. This Clarkson book is for everyone.</div>

Many of you told me that I would enjoy her fictional books and I did enjoy this one! It was light and easy to read. My only complaint would be that it was a little lengthy for the actual plot and probably could have been a tad shorter. But, that being said, the main character is a floral shop owner and her little tale was sweet and fun to read. (Plus, she has a dog named Poppy!) This is an easy book to toss in your bag for the pool. Just light and fun!</div>

I don't know if I just wasn't expecting much or what...but I loved this book! One of my friends always shares her monthly book picks and they all tend to be dark and heavy...but last month, she threw this one in the mix and went on and on abut how much she liked it, so I ordered it on Amazon. As of today, it's in first place for my favorite fictional book of 2016. I thought the characters were interesting, the plot was unique (and kept me guessing throughout!), the setting was quaint...the whole book was just charming. This book is not quite as light as some of the other "beach reads" I so enjoy but it's most definitely not heavy either. I really just could not put it down...I had to know the ending. This is Dingman's first novel and now, I'll be on the lookout for more books from her. She's made me a big fan!</div>

Vardalos (you know, the lady who wrote and starred in <i>My Big Fat Greek Wedding</i>) writes about her 9 years of infertility (13 IVF!) and her domestic adoption (they were matched with a three year old girl from the foster care system) and it was DELIGHTFUL! I am so thankful you girls told me to read this one because it really spoke to my heart...and I know that I'll be recommending it to people all the time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you are struggling with infertility, have struggled with it, are considering adoption or have adopted...you will be entertained and your heart warmed. Vardalos has a funny way of talking about the pain...she makes it real but she lightens it up at the same time. Most of all, she's encouraging! Oh man, she is so encouraging. I'm done with that stage in my life, but I was still encouraged my her words and motivated by her faith, persistence and determination. She is a rock star representative of the adoption community. Loved this book!</div>

Amazon told me I should read this and they were right (that Amazon is so smart ;)!). This cute fictional book is very reminiscent of <i>The Devil Wears Prada</i> (which I loved) and I couldn't put it down. This story is about an editor-and-chief of a Vogue-like magazine who is being replaced by a younger, hipper, more tech-savy girl and the antics that transpire between the two of them. I read it quickly because it was just cute and fun to read. Thank you Amazon for knowing what I like!</div>

...<span style="font-size: large;"><b>TODAY IS THE LAUNCH OF THE <a href="https://erincondren.com/" target="_blank">ERIN CONDREN LIFE PLANNER</a>!</b></span><br />
<br />
Eeks!<br />
<br />
Someone hold me.<br />
<div>
<br />
Four years ago, I was reading a blog and the blog author had a giveaway for one of these planners. I didn't win the giveaway but I was really curious about the planner, so I bought one. And then quickly fell in love. And then proceeded to gush like nobody's business. And then <a href="https://erincondren.com/" target="_blank"><b>Erin Condren</b></a> reached out to me (because someone pointed them to my obnoxious gushing) and we've been friends ever since.<br />
<br />
If you know<span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="https://erincondren.com/" target="_blank"> Erin Condren</a></b></span>, then you're not even reading this any more, you've already gone to the site to order your <b><a href="https://erincondren.com/" target="_blank">2016-2017 planner</a></b> (they run July 2016 until December 2017)...and if you're new, let me show you mine (or you can just look at them on <span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="https://erincondren.com/" target="_blank">their site</a></b></span> too!).<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Here are my four Erin Condren planners lined up. My newest one doesn't have a collage cover (yet), but I'm about to order one. One cool thing about the planners is that the covers are interchangeable. <br />
<br />
So, here's the deal...I found these planners because another blogger was gushing...and then I became one of their favorite customers because I buy their stuff all year long and gush too (labels, notepads, notebooks, stickers, return address labels...I buy it all throughout the year). In fact, all of my travel agency stationary, business cards, etc came straight from their site...and I pay for it! They did supply me with my planner this year but friends, that's it. I love this stuff so much that I gush without compensation or perks... I sincerely just love it :).<br />
<br />
Here are a few more things before I tell you about our giveaway...<br />
<br />

I went ahead and took a pic of their new sheet. The planners come in neutral or colorful (mine is colorful), with three different layouts (I always select vertical), and in four different color options (I picked gold).</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
After today, my kiddos only have two more days of school left and then...we hit summer HARD.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lazy days, pool days, fun days, happy days, summer days. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm just so excited. I know I've said this before...but I'll say it again. I used to dislike summer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Insert my shame and embarrassment here. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Before, I worked in an office all summer long and the days just dragged on. And then I had babies and unless I was in the pool with my two babies, it just wasn't fun being outside (because we live in Texas and it gets HOT here). But then my babies turned into big kids and all of a sudden, summer was a BLAST. It was a sweet relief from the rest of the year. A time for relaxing and putting our normal routine on hold. It became something so much more special when my kids got a little older. Now, instead of dreading summer (which I spent a large part of my life doing), I look forward to it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I. love. summer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the last three years in a row, I've sat down with my kids and together we've created our summer fun list. Most days are spent by the pool, but some days, we need a little change up...so we make a list and tape it up. It's always so much fun to check ideas off of this list!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This year, Smith really took charge of our list. The girls threw out suggestions, but Smith wanted to be the one who actually wrote our little list. So, here you go...<b>the Shull Summer of Fun 2016 list</b> (and psssst, click on the dates to see <a href="http://shullfamily.blogspot.com/2015/05/summer-of-fun-2015-edition.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>2015</b></span> </a>and <span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://shullfamily.blogspot.com/2014/06/summer-of-fun.html" target="_blank">2014 </a></b></span>lists).</div>

Hello friends! It's Memorial Day weekend! Otherwise known as the official kickoff to summer in the Shull house. We. Are. Pumped. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today, I'm linking up with <b><a href="http://tabanderika.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Erika</a></b>, <b><a href="http://www.momfessionals.com/" target="_blank">Andrea</a></b> and <b><a href="https://graceandloveblog.com/" target="_blank">Narci</a></b> and sharing all things summer/Memorial Day/long weekend related. Speaking of which...because it's a long weekend (my kids are home both today and Monday), I'm going to leave this post up until Tuesday and spend time with them instead of on the internet. So...after today, I'll see you Tuesday. Happy Memorial Day friends!</div>

So, Memorial Day always holds a special place in my heart. It was Memorial Day 2007 when I found out I was pregnant (after <b><a href="http://shullfamily.blogspot.com/2013/02/infertility.html" target="_blank">my first IUI</a></b>). We lost that baby a month later, but the day was special and I'll forever hold it in my heart. Fast forward one year...and I couldn't find a picture, but it was somewhere during this era...</div>

...we were heading to go swim and I took a pic of some of our favorite kid related summer essential things. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I get asked A LOT about kid shoes. It might be the number one question asked on my Instagram. If you've asked, it's probably been about <b><a href="http://bit.ly/1WOSLtB" target="_blank">the shoes in the middle</a></b>...those would be Ashby's feet and she's wearing <span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://bit.ly/1qJFBAu" target="_blank">Natives</a></b></span>. In every single picture I post, I would bet 99% of the time, one (if not more) Shull kid has <b><a href="http://bit.ly/1qJFBAu" target="_blank">Natives</a></b> on their feet. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are questions I get about <b><a href="http://bit.ly/1qJFBAu" target="_blank">Natives</a></b>:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>1. Where do you get them? </b> I always get them at <b><a href="http://bit.ly/1qJFBAu" target="_blank">Nordstrom</a></b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>2. How do they run?</b> True to size.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>3. How do you clean them? </b> I hose them off in the sink and let them air dry. If the white looks dingy, I'll use a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>4. Are they comfortable?</b> My kids LIVE in them. They are without a doubt the favorite shoe of all three Shull kids.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Natives reign supreme at our house year around. We love them! But what's happening on the other side of Ashby's feet? Well, my big kids are into their new <span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://bit.ly/1WOTwTw" target="_blank">Toms flip flops.</a></b></span> They're very reminiscent of the <b><a href="http://bit.ly/1qLb1q1" target="_blank">Toms flip flops</a></b> I bought last year (see the next favorite below for that!). The soles of these shoes are very soft and they don't rub my kiddos' the wrong way. My big kids are in love with these flip flops which is great...because all summer long, we live in easy shoes like that!</div>

So, after our <b><a href="http://shullfamily.blogspot.com/2016/03/disney-cruise-day-1.html" target="_blank">Disney Cruise</a></b>, I was asked a lot about our pool bag situation and here's what I use. This is just a basic tote you buy at places like Target or Walmart. I don't spend much on them (like $5 or $10 at the most!) and I use them until they're too gross to use any more and then toss them and buy a new one. These totes are especially good when you travel to the beach because instead of putting your nice beach bag filled with bits of sand back into your car or suitcase, you can just leave it behind. </div>

Look! Both <b><a href="http://tabanderika.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Erika</a></b> and I have these bags right here. Mine is black (like above) and her bag is turquoise.

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: small;">Swimming and bike riding have been what we've been up to lately. We can all bike ride together now (which is so much fun!)...and it's not 105 degrees yet, so we're taking advantage of all of that.</span><br />

A good chore system for the summer! We are going to be relaxed and lazy this summer...but at the same time, we are going to remember that our dirty laundry goes in the hamper and that the toilet must always be flushed. #livingwithkids<br />
<br />
Together, the kids and I came up with some great chores (I mean...is flushing the toilet every time really a chore? Probably not...and yet, I feel like it needs to be included on this list because IT DOESN'T ALWAYS HAPPEN.) and some fun rewards (stay up 30 minutes later, swim past your bedtime, go get snow cones, etc.). The kids helped me pick a good place for their new chore chart and we're going to attempt to stay motivated this summer. I'll try and do a post on this soon!<br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Baby Lowe is coming this summer!!</b> We're all super pumped about this new addition. Since they don't know...we're all guessing the baby's gender and will wear that color to the hospital the day he/she is born. As of today, I'm wearing pink. I don't know why...but I'm thinking girl! (To be fair, I thought Kensington was a boy and Smith was a girl...so basically, I'm never right and this baby is most likely a boy!) Before we scheduled our family vacation, we double checked our dates to make sure we didn't</span> miss the birth...but the closer we get, the more nervous I get! Let's all pray Baby Lowe doesn't arrive really early...because the Shull five would be so bummed!<br />

Now, I'm not joking when I say that the Slaughters and us have our framily vacations planned through 2022...and you better believe repeating this trip is on there once...or twice...or maybe even three times. It was one of the best trips I've ever been on and I would go again today if I could. Loved. Every. Minute.</div>

Okay, some Fridays, I sprint there...and some Fridays, I limp. This week...I limped. No worries though because it's going to be a GREAT weekend! Andrew has more rat traps out (holla!), the weather will be gorgeous and everyone is healthy (no more tonsillitis here!). Really, what more can you ask for? Happy Friday friends!

...you all said I should be watching <span style="font-size: large;"><b>Downton Abbey.</b></span> So, I started last week (on Amazon Prime!) and friends, I'M HOOKED! Eeks! In fact, I really should wrap this post up now so that I can watch another episode before my kids wake up. #cantstopwontstop </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm always to last to watch a great show (Gilmore Girls, Breaking Bad, Friday Night Lights)...so, here I am again. All alone. The only person left on Earth who hasn't watched Downton Abbey. I might be alone, but I'm loving every little minute of it. Great recommendation!</div>

EEEEEEEEKKKKKSSSS! So, you all know by now that Bridge Jones is my favorite movie and book. She's a lovable mess that I just adore. So now, a whopping 12 years after the sequel came out, this third installment is about to hit theaters. #ohmarkdarcy You can watch the trailer <span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGZop5Iuwho&feature=youtu.be" target="_blank">here</a></b></span>.

Remember a few weeks ago when <span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://bit.ly/1ss5HZR" target="_blank">Nordstrom</a></b></span> helped us with our <b><a href="http://shullfamily.blogspot.com/2016/05/an-even-bigger-giveaway.html" target="_blank">Mother's Day giveaway</a></b> and one day during the giveaway, we talked about tanner? Well, I was telling you ladies how this stuff is my favorite and that every time you ask me how I'm so tan, the answer is always <b><a href="http://bit.ly/1V9uk98" target="_blank">this</a></b>. BUT...I thought I'd go ahead and do a demonstration. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On the left, my legs on Tuesday afternoon...and on the right, my legs on Wednesday morning. Crazy, right? I tried to take both pics in natural light so you could really see the color. One tanning wipe covered my whole body. I've been using <span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://bit.ly/1V9sGEF" target="_blank">the face tanner wipes</a></b></span> for years (I use them at least once a week year around!)...but now, I'm obsessed with <b><a href="http://bit.ly/1V9uk98" target="_blank">the body wipes</a></b> too. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here are my tips:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. I always use one wipe for my entire body right out of the shower (dry off really well first!).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. Do not apply any lotion after. Wipe the towelette all over your body and wait about 3 minutes for it to dry. Then, put on your pajamas and go to sleep. The next morning (I feel both the body and face wipes need about 6 hours to fully take!), you'll wake up tan.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. I start with my legs, go up and do my upper body and then finish with my feet and hands (if you do them first, they will streak).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4. Wipe yourself all over or else the next morning, you will have obvious spots of where you've missed. If that happens, then later that night, repeat with a second towel on your spots. Once you do it a time or two, you'll never have spots.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5. I do not think this gets on my clothes, furniture and/or sheets.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So far this week:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. We've had a case of <strike>strep </strike>tonsillitis</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. We've found some dead rats.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. We've had rain.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Needless to say, it hasn't been dull. (If you're new around here...rats and I go way back. We were <b><a href="http://shullfamily.blogspot.com/2013/10/rats.html" target="_blank">roomies together</a></b> for about a month...)</div>

So this is like the most precious thing EVER! Ashby told me the other day that we have the same smile. I mean...my heart about exploded out of my chest.

I put this pic on Instagram over the weekend. Kensington has decided that she is really into basketball. She plays every single day now as much as she can.

Hello Wednesday!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well, last Wednesday, I went with Kensington's first grade to the Dallas Zoo for the day...</div>

...it was so much fun spending the day with her and her friends. <b><a href="http://tabanderika.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Erika</a></b>, Sarah and I drove there together and on the way, we were laughing so hard about this picture...</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Y'all! What in the world were we doing at the zoo with all of those babies?!?! Do you see Kensington there in the green shorts? She was 19 months old. And baby Smith was in the stroller behind her and he was 12 weeks old. My favorite part is that Ebby Lee was 12 months and Nixon was 2 weeks old. TWO WEEKS OLD! Why didn't someone tell us to stay home instead of dragging a bunch of babies to the zoo?!?! Sarah's daughter Molly is next to Kensington here and she was 12 months too. We were laughing so hard on the way to the zoo about the insanity of us thinking this was a good idea.</div>

Today, I'm covering another frequently asked question: <b>What does your workout routine look like?</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I get this one all.the.time. Even more now that I've blogged about <b><a href="http://shullfamily.blogspot.com/2016/05/apple-watch.html" target="_blank">my Apple Watch</a></b> and how I love the fitness app on there. I get emails/comments asking about how often I workout and what exactly I do and I always try and answer them...but then about two weeks ago, Lauren emailed me and asked if I would chronicle a week in the workout life of Shay...good idea Lauren! Thank you! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, a few little tidbits before I show you my week...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. I really and truly don't stress about working out. This is one of those areas where <b>I do the best that I can and then leave it at that</b>. Would I love to workout more? Yes. Would I love to have more time carved into my day for it? Absolutely. Do I feel better when I'm more active and at the gym? Totally. Is that happening right now in my life? No. This season of my life is full and kind of crazy (work at home mom with young kids, you know!), so I attempt to go to the gym twice a week and participate in my very favorite group fitness class. Most weeks, I make it twice a week...but ironically, last week (as I'm chronically this for you), I didn't and then this week, Smith got strep...so I didn't again. I just don't worry about it because I know that I'm doing the best I can...and really, that's all I can do, right?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. I have tried a variety of workout methods over my lifetime and my favorite is <span style="font-size: large;"><b>group classes</b></span>. When I was younger, I danced (for 15 years), in college, I ran and lifted weights by myself, when I was first married, I ran long distances by myself and even a few marathons, and then after I had kids, I started group fitness classes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For me, I enjoyed running long distances during that period in my life because I wanted to be by myself ;). I worked in the corporate world with lots of other people and dealt with clients all day long. After work or in the morning, I wanted peace, quiet and alone time. Then when I had Kensington and was at home for the first time in my life, I craved some adult time (to contrast all of the quiet in my house), so when she was six weeks old, I joined a mommy group fitness class (called Baby Boot Camp and then later after my franchise closed, I joined Stroller Strides). I was a part of this group class for three years and it was <b>WONDERFUL</b>. As a new mama, this time was invaluable. First, it gave me a purpose and a place to be every morning. We got up, we got dressed (workout clothes but nevertheless, it forced me out of my pajamas), it introduced me to a whole new set of friends (I didn't know a single person when I started), it gave me adult conversation, I learned so much for these mamas that had older kids (I love you Nancy and Helen!)...it was a life saver for me! I only left three years later because my kids were 2 & 3 and they needed to be out of the stroller and more active themselves during my workouts, so I joined a gym that had great group fitness classes and wonderful childcare.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. I personally love group fitness classes for several reasons: there is accountability with others, you meet people, you don't have to think (the instructor does all the thinking for you), it's always changing and there is a beginning and end time. There's nothing worse than being at the gym by yourself and thinking, "did I do enough today?". With group classes, they begin and they end. Period. You know when it's time to go ;).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4. My final thought is this...I'm a big believer that you can't out work a bad diet. If your diet is not great, then no matter how much you workout, you're not going to feel/look the way you want. I think I get by with less working out because I eat a pretty clean diet. I eat a lot during the day (because ain't no one want to be around hungry Shay!), but it's healthy stuff that fuels me and gives me energy (lots of lean protein, whole grains, veggies and some fruit).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5. You'll notice that I don't workout every day. Instead, I just really try to be active. For me, active is the key!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So...here I was last week...a week in the workout life of Shay...</div>

My friends and me before our class started. Friends, I LOVE THESE GIRLS! I would say that I have a group of about 15 girls that I workout consistently with every Monday and Wednesday. We're all a little different, we're all mamas, and we all enjoy the time together more than the actual working out! I snapped this pic right before class started: <a href="https://graceandloveblog.com/" target="_blank">Narci</a>, Amanda, Sarika, <a href="http://tabanderika.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Erika</a> and Brooke are just a few of my favorite friends at the gym. I'm telling you...if you're looking to get connected with people in your town, group classes is a great way to do it! We do a combination strength/cardio class twice a week.</div>

I typically do another group class on Wednesday mornings...but this week, Kensington had her zoo field trip, so no time for class. Instead, I did 25 minutes on my stairmill at home before my kids woke up. A quick 25 minutes and then I showered and headed to the zoo.</div>

Smith had a baseball game on Saturday morning, and when it was over, we went on a family bike ride around our neighborhood. Everyone went...even Poppy :).<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Sunday</b></span><br />
I took a nap. Seriously, I did. And I never do that ;).<br />
<br />
And then I'm typing this out on Monday morning...where I'm at home with a sick kid...so yet my workout schedule is interrupted once again. No worries though because I did 25 minutes on my stairmill, rode my bike to school next to Kensington on her bike and then found a dead rat in our garage and ran like the wind...trust me, my heart-rate was up today ;).<br />
<br />
For this season in my life, this is what I do. I try and stay active, do the best I can and don't stress. What do you do? It's hard when you have littles in the house! Please share your ideas with me too!<br />

Well, we started a new tradition...and it might be one of my favorites.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was several of you girls who actually gave me the idea. About two months ago, I mentioned how Kensington was disappointed sometimes that Ashby gets to spend the whole day with me by herself and she doesn't. I told her that she did have her turn...from birth to 16 months, it was all us...but then Smith came along and it was the three of us. (She had her turn, she just doesn't remember it.) She wanted a little during the day alone time with mommy...so, many of you mentioned having a skip day. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I. Loved. This. Idea.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thus, a tradition was born. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I told my kiddos that each year during the month of May, I will show up at school and surprise them with the rest of the day off. Annnnd...we would do whatever it was that they wanted to do...just the two of us. For this year, I made sure I scheduled these days on one of Ashby's preschool days (so that they got my full attention), checked with their teachers and picked good days for them to leave early and spend alone time with mama. Now that I've done it with both kids, we agreed that we'll continue to do it every year through 12th grade. Let's see if 18 year old Smith wants to spend the day with his mama...he says he will (and I pray he's right!)...but he also says that he'll still want to go to Legoland ;).</div>

Skip day!! Kensington is my "cries when she's happy kid", so the minute she came around the corner at school and saw me (the office had called her class and asked for her to come to the front ready to be dismissed for the day), she burst into happy tears. She was so excited!! Our plan was to go to the American Girl store and have lunch. We were off!</div>

They were two very special days where we talked, we laughed, we shared, we held hands, and we loved on each other even more than normal. You know what they say...the days are long but the years are short. It's still hard to believe they're going into 1st and 2nd grade. It seems like yesterday they were both babies and we were surviving on Cheerios and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. I'm trying to soak in as much as I can...because I know that I'm going to blink and this phase will be over too. xo</div>

No. Pride. It's a brilliant <span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://bit.ly/1UQhjBn" target="_blank">face mask</a></b></span> and you all needed to see that it was silver :). (Also, I don't think I pointed out <b><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="http://bit.ly/1rRbcRs" target="_blank">my cute little studs</a></span></b> when I showed this mask the first time, but I love them!)</div>

Okay, so I was reading one of my magazines the other day (I'm pretty sure it was Marie Claire) and they named <b><a href="http://bit.ly/1rRcCLL" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">this dry shampoo</span></a></b> the best because they said it was the only one that actually cleaned your hair and didn't just mask the grossness. What? It cleans? Yes. It cleans. So, I ordered me a bottle and friends, I LOVE IT! Here's Exhibit B (a.k.a. up close and personal with my roots)...</div>

I mean...this pic is a mess but I was trying to get dressed and show you guys my roots, so it is what it is. This is my hair after I woke up...but I'm in need of a little dry shampoo, so...you spray it on your hair and it turns the area white...</div>

...see, the <span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://bit.ly/1rRcCLL" target="_blank">Living Proof </a></b></span>on your roots appears white.

All hail <span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://bit.ly/1rRovRS" target="_blank">the basic tee</a></b></span>!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yes. This is more like me :). Okay, my favorite tee two years running is <span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://bit.ly/1rRovRS" target="_blank">Nordstrom's Caslon brand</a></b></span>. They're soft, they're just slightly flowy (so not tight!), they're priced right and they wash and dry well (because I can't baby my laundry!). <b><a href="http://bit.ly/1rRovRS" target="_blank">This one tee comes in over 20 colors!</a></b> Love, love, love them for basics!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Speaking of Caslon, I have been wearing <span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://bit.ly/1UQnWn7" target="_blank">this Caslon top</a></b></span> non-stop lately...</div>

Here I am wearing it again to Kensington's Mother's Day breakfast. I wear <b><a href="http://bit.ly/1UQokly" target="_blank">my favorite cami underneath</a></b>. And my lipstick is that one I told you guys about a few weeks ago!

Annnnnnd...I took the pics before realizing I was still wearing <b><a href="http://bit.ly/1UWJ1fB" target="_blank">my house shoes</a></b>. I wear them until the last minute and then put on my real shoes. Sigh. <b><a href="http://bit.ly/1UWIIS7" target="_blank">The top </a></b>is richer (more reddish-pink) in person than online. I bought it in <b><a href="http://bit.ly/1UWIIS7" target="_blank">red barbarry</a></b> but it comes in <b><a href="http://bit.ly/1UWIIS7" target="_blank">other colors </a></b>too.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So even though dresses are fun on occasion, this stuff is what I wear day in and day out...<br />
