Brighton Butler · so anyways

The first real weekend of summer hit and my kids were ready. Bounce house at full capacity, every outdoor toy out of the garage, all of us outside from morning till bedtime.

It’s the best and also a lot.

So here’s what made it easier. The tote I kept grabbing for everything, a bracelet making kit that actually held their attention for more than four minutes, and a handful of things still on sale if you’re trying to catch the tail end of the weekend!

We’re going on year 3 with this bounce house (it’s on sale!) and we love it so much! I have 4 bounce houses (I KNOW), but my kids love this one the most!

I was sick and tired of trying to fit all my blow up toys back in their tiny bags/boxes…these storage containers changed the game. Heavy duty handles and wheels for easy transportation!

mini double trampoline (on sale for $99)

Millie hexagon sunglasses and this tennis necklace (15”) — which is actually not my real one, but it looks just as good! Up close it reads a little too gold (or shiny? idk how to describe it), but stacked with other necklaces it’s *chef’s kiss*. And it’s the first fake one I’ve found that’s actually sparkly.

this straw seagrass tote bag ($40!) from Target

pearl-studded heart goggles are SO adorable and Blake (of course) loves them!

ultimate custom bead kit from baublebar had all 7 kids entertained from ages 8 to 3 for over an hour! And it was an activity that we got to do with them and I actually really enjoyed ha.

oldie but goodie midi-denim skirt from Tuckernuck

love this sarong for chasing toddlers around the pool! It’s super stretchy (so you can tie it really tight and secure) and the material dries really quickly when it gets wet!

oh also! these slides by Melissa have been on repeat too for pool time and running around town.

alternating turquoise and diamond tennis bracelet and necklace form Lemel! I’m in LOVE. It would make SUCH a good gift and you can save by bundling. It also comes in emerald and sapphire!

We are obsessedddd with our TurtleBox speaker. Waterproof, durable and the battery actually lasts. So good that we bought the small portable version last year for our beach trip!

A smock dress is a must for any long weekend. Stretchy, cute and mom friendly (outfit linked here)!

So anyways, hope everyone had a great/relaxing MDW ❤️
