I love traditions. Some people may see it as doing the same thing over and over again, but why change a good thing when it works? Especially when it involves a BBQ and a pool. These Jones boys love a good pool. Haha, so does this Jones boy. Years ago, my crazy friends started this tradition of going double down the waterslide. But not tandem, one behind the other. Double as in laying on top of one another, stomach to stomach. It's a tradition they are so proud of and have now passed ... Read More

Pretty soon I'll be skipping the plugin and just sprinkling the oil directly on them. The Ice Cream Man is making a killing off our ... Read More

The photos that didn't make the cut to Instagram... If you're on the hunt for bright and fun lips for spring, check out these lip glosses by Melted. They are super pigmented, so what you see is what you get. They go on glossy, but turn matte-ish as it dries. I say "matte-ish" because it's definitely matte, but it wipes off easily. Almost a little too easy. I wore the Melted Violet one day and then went to Qdoba for lunch and as I was eating my burrito the lipstick would come off on the ... Read More
