We had a blast carving and watching one of our favorite movies The Haunted Mansion, and I have to tell you, as sad as it is with the kids getting older, it also comes with some perks!! They designed, gutted, and carved their own pumpkins!! 🤗
Can’t wait to snuggle up and watch a Halloween movie with these cuties tonight! 👻
Here’s a list of my top 10 family friendly movies to get you in the spirit 🍿
Do you have a favorite Halloween movie on the list or not?
At the beginning of the summer we decided to sell our house. We spent the next few weeks getting it ready and packing up 85% of our things. No easy task for Harper, that girl has so many squishmallows 🤪
Next we had to decide how to sell. A few homes in our neighborhood had recently sold, but they were never on the MLS. Turns out they were Ibuyers, the one most used was Offer pad but there are other companies too like Express offer, and Redfin. Offerpad was definitely appealing you can choose your move out date at your convenience, never have a showing, and not have to do any repairs or cleaning! The part I liked most was if you couldn’t find a home you could rent your home back for a small fee until you found something.
So why didn’t we go with the Offerpad offer? Well it was below what we could get if we used a traditional realtor, so much below that I could buy a brand new car with the difference.
In the end it all worked out, we really didn’t need to make any repairs since our house was newer, and we only had to do 2 showings. Buying and selling a home these days sure is different than the past, but nothing to be intimidated about! Now the real fun can begin, shopping for a new home 🏠
Check out the Everlasting Comfort Beach Blanket 😎
I honestly don’t know how we ever beached without it.. More like a sheet material, the beach blanket is thin and made of microfiber polyester making it Sandproof & Waterproof. Not even 5 minutes after we setup Harper spilled her purple slushee all over it 🤣 but no problem… no stain or wet spot! 🙌 🏖

Where would you take your blanket? The beach, park, camping, hikes, sporting events, concerts, picnics? The possibilities are endless 😏
Are you a Kevin Hart or Dwayne the Rock Johnson fan? They take the meaning of friendship to a new level in DC League of Super-Pets!🍿🐾
It’s so cute and we had the best time attending an advance screening for the movie, I don’t know who laughed more us or the kids! 💯🤣
Check out all the super pet action only in theaters July 29!

Summer is heating up in Florida and we’re looking for ways to cool off but also save a little money! Check out the rec centers in your town, many of the ones in Tampa Bay have waterslides and you don’t have to be a resident to go, you just pay a little more.
Here’s a list I put together of Rec centers with water slides. There are more that I will be adding to the list too, but check your local Rec or Aquatic center. Other places with waterslides include the YMCA.
New Port Richey Recreation & Aquatic Center
Highland Family Aquatic Center Largo FL
North Greenwood Recreation Center Clearwater FL
Today we went to the Highland Family Aquatic Center in Largo and being a non member we paid $8 each
It’s the First Day of Summer Break, Let the adventures begin!! 💦 ☀️
Do you have any fun summer plans?
Our bucket list includes:
Camping 🏕
Go karts 🏎
Pet a Llama 🦙
Water parks 🛝
Beaches 🌊
Staying up ALL night 💤
Disco Bowling 🎳
It seems totally doable right?!🤞 😎
Have you tried finding sharks teeth? Anywhere along the Venice coast you’re bound to find some, it just takes a little hunting!
Over the weekend a storm came through so we headed out to look for more shark teeth! This time we tried another beach well known for teeth, Blind Pass Beach on Manasota Key.
The surf was rough, too rough for the kids to look but James and I managed to scoop in between waves about waste deep and we ended up finding twice as many teeth as our last trip!
So far we’ve just been using these $5 kids beach nets and a sand dipper tool. It would be nicer to have something with a longer sturdier handle but for now we’ve totally managed with this!
To find the teeth you don’t have to look anywhere special, just walk in and start scooping! When you go to these beaches the thing I’ve noticed is that no one is really sunbathing, everyone is looking for shark teeth or shells. The beach was not overly crowded at all and we had more than enough room to spread out and search.
