This week was the first full week of school, and boy, did it do me in. I'm still adjusting to early mornings, packing lunches and snacks, and all the other tedious but necessary tasks that go into the school year. On the upside, I do have a bit more time for myself like sneaking out for a coffee or a quick stroll on the beach.

Here are a few of the things that made me happy this week.

{A handmade, personalized gift from my sister proudly hanging on our front door}

{A new phone case with a built in battery charger to, hopefully, stave off a failing battery}

{A new notebook to satisfy my love of list making - found at Marshalls}

{An adorable ring holder}

Today is our last full day in Rehoboth Beach. Tomorrow I'll be heading back to New Jersey. This week's installment of OOMO is all about the things I love in Rehoboth Beach. I'll be sad to leave this favorite vacation destination, but I'll be looking forward to our return next year. But for the next 28 hours, I am taking full advantage of vacation mode. Have a great Labor Day weekend! xx

This week was one of those weeks that I can't recall. It went by so quickly and each day seemed jam packed that it's almost impossible to remember specifically what we did or where we went. This weekend is sure to fly by just as quickly. After a crazy weekend last week, we intentionally planned for nothing this weekend. With a day at the pool planned for tomorrow and a quiet day at home on Sunday, it should be just the kind of weekend we need. Hope yours is a fabulous one too! xx

We are heading down the coast to Avalon, New Jersey this weekend to visit friends. We are super excited to see them and their new home. They demolished their old summer home and built a bigger one in its place. We've seen a few pictures, but I'm sure they don't do it justice. On Sunday, we'll be making the trek to north Jersey for a dual graduation party, a high school and a college.

It's sure to be a busy weekend, but definitely a fun one. Hope your weekend is a fun one too. xx

Here are 5 things that are making me ultra happy this week.

{A new favorite bedtime snack}

{An oh-so-true cat comic}

{Found: a favorite street sign}

{I want to spend the rest of my life here}

{The perfect flats for fall and early winter}

It's hard to believe that it's August 1st. The summer is flying by, and before I know it, I'll be sending the girls back to school. But until I do, I'll be taking full advantage of the next 5 weeks of summer break, starting with this weekend!

Whatever you plan to do this weekend, make it a fun one. xx

Last weekend was one of those weekends. You know....the kind that leaves you completely fulfilled and ready to take on a new week. I spent the weekend in central Pennsylvania where I was born and raised until I moved away to go to college. It was a weekend filled with family, and it was just what I needed to feed my soul.

This week's OOMO is dedicated to the small things that made me happy during our long weekend in the country. I hope you can find a few things that make you happy this weekend. xx

This weekend I am planning on taking a social media break. I really need some time away from my laptop. This afternoon, I'm planning to enjoy a beautiful day at the pool, and tonight my girls and I will be taking in Disney's "Frozen" on the beach at Jenkinson's Pavillion. I'm looking forward to a Friday night that's off the beaten path. Hoping your weekend is filled to the brim with fun. xx

School is winding down. After today, there are 4 days remaining until summer vacation. This week there were classroom parties, cleaning out desks and cleaning off bulletin boards. Lots of papers and crafts came home, and lots of decisions made about what to keep and what to toss. Always stressful. Tomorrow we are heading to Philadelphia to meet up with my sister April who is a flight attendant and has a weekend layover in Philly. Sunday, of course, will be spent pampering the Hubs. Have a great weekend. xx

Here are some of the things making me happy this week.

{The "SHEILA" heel from Sole Socieity, which I purchased today for a mere $28. Check out the big 60% off sandal sale}
