I’m a little late today because here’s what’s really up with the Parsons:

We are at the beach!! It’s a rainy day so I am carving out some time to catch up on what’s up!

I’m linking up with Mel, Shay, and Sheaffer today to finish these sentences:

WHAT WE’RE EATING THIS WEEK…

Lots of yummy dinners out at the beach. We tried a new restaurant, The Longboard Cafe, and the food was amazing! Jeff and I discovered a delicious chicken salad that has been lunch everyday on the beach. And you can’t come to the beach without at least one Fractured Prune visit.

WHAT I’M REMINISCING ABOUT…

I am loving all our beach memories that pop up this week. The last week in July is usually our beach week and all the pictures make me smile!

WHAT I’M LOVING…

I am loving all the summer! The boys are having a great swim team season and think their big buddies are the best!

We are having a blast at the beach with our buddies! With this many kids, everyone always has someone to play with!

WHAT WE’VE BEEN UP TO…

Pretty much the pool! I love our pool and it’s been so sunny that we’ve had a lot of fun there!

I’ve also done a lot of outside running since the weather has been so nice! Jamie and I ran the 4th Fellow Flowers flower virtual run. It was white, the dreamer, and we cranked out 5 miles on Friday morning. I love running with Jamie. It’s a great time for us to catch up and get some girlfriend time in!

Jack joined me for some beach running this week too!

WHAT I’M DREADING…

Back to school routines, but I’m not going to think about those because school doesn’t start until September!! I’ll just close my eyes as I pass all the school supplies in Walmart and Target!

WHAT I’M WORKING ON…

I have the happiest of to do lists right now. It is a big stack of books!! I do have some fun PTA things to work on, but for the rest of the week I’m working on books and beach fun!

WHAT I’M EXCITED ABOUT…

I am excited for some sunshine the rest of the week! ☀️🤞🏽. I am also excited for a few excursions we have planned before school starts! My mom has been hard at work planning Camp Gigi, the week when teachers go back, and I’m pretty excited about that too! It’s always so much fun!!

WHAT I’M WATCHING/READING…

Right now I’m reading The Summer I Met Jack by Michelle Gable. I finished my Summer Beach Book list. Check out reviews here. I’m always watching Housewives on Bravo but not much else.

I’m also watching this😍

WHAT I’M LISTENING TO…

Pandora Pop Country has been a great beach soundtrack this week. I’m not really listening to much else.

WHAT I’M WEARING…

I’ve been wearing a lot of bathing suits and coverups this summer. I did spend an hour unsupervised at Target and got some cute workout clothes to wear around town.

I’ve been wearing these J.Crew factory shorts a bunch too!

I’m also loving my new Stella and Dot earrings! I was a pearl girl forever, but now I’m branching out to big earrings and i love them.

WHAT I’M DOING THIS WEEKEND…

Swim meet, swim team banquet, and a relaxing day at the pool on Sunday!

WHAT I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT MONTH…

More summer fun!!

WHAT ELSE IS NEW…

I met another wonderful author at Bethany Beach Books this week! Beatriz Williams was so lovely and her historical fiction books are fabulous!! I can’t wait to read The Summer Wives!!

That’s pretty much it for this month! Have a great day full of sunshine and books!
