Hazy, Lazy Days of Summer!

Hope you are enjoying the above!!!
My mantra for summer is to "Do What You Love and Love What You Do!"

I know many moms right now who are trying to do as much as they can to infuse their summers with really good stuff.  We've had a really good start to summer with concerts (Bruno Mars and One Direction) , shore trips, soccer tournaments, a drive-in movie, tons of pool time (anyone else feel like throwing ice cubes in the pool?  90 degrees officially makes it a hot tub in my opinion!), swim meets, backyard bbq's and the list continues!

The One Direction Craze!!!

My sis and I at Bruno Mars ... kids would not pose with us!

 

 

Charlie is so happy with his lazy summer days!

Yes, the biggest splash contest continues!

Drive-in!  Beautiful night!

This is all great, but my house is lacking in some good food lately!  Anyone else feel the lack of schedule leading to no food in the house?  I rarely get excited to go food shopping but I'm really looking forward to going tomorrow!!!  So the question is, how to fit it in when you are strapped for time with all the other things pulling you in different directions?

5 Quick Tips to Help You Buy Healthy Foods:

•  Shop the perimeter of the store ... remember what that means?  Leave out the middle aisles ... plus they are full of processed foods you can do without.
• Go early in the day if possible to avoid the lunch crowd!
• Bring your list!
• Avoid foods that are "fat free" or "sugar free,"  they include fake stuff (you don't really want me to go into this right now do you?)
• Use the "Dirty Dozen, Clean Fifteen" List below to sort our what to buy organic if possible.

Wishing you much peace amid a beautifully busy summer :)
