While last week was breezy and cool in Iowa, this week made up for it in heat. We were in an excessive heat warning almost the entire week which meant we could only really play outside in the morning. Sammy leaned into his creative side this week and we spent plenty of time coloring and drawing. His latest interest has been pirates, so he drew this picture of a treasure map. X marks the spot! ;)
The library has also been a favorite of ours during the heat wave this week. I love taking Sammy to story time at the library during the summer months. I tuck baby Jack in his wrap, and Sammy gets to enjoy story time, songs, and a little craft. It's the perfect outing! This Thursday, Dustin was on his "off days" so I was able to enjoy a solo outing with Sammy.
An easy favorite of mine this week would be this sweet smile. Jack has absolutely found his voice and tells us big stories all day long. :) We are on the brink of getting giggles from him, and
we're getting lots of happy coos!

Because it's been so hot out we haven't been firing up the grill as much for dinner. We had Poppyseed Chicken (recipe here) one evening for dinner and Pizza Burgers (recipe here) another evening. These dishes scream "back to school" to me and are staples from my childhood. Yummy, easy dinners are absolutely a favorite of mine!
I was influenced via Instagram to purchase this candle called "Farmhouse Fig." Modern Farmhouse Family, an account I follow, developed this scent to be a transitional scent to fall. I would agree, this scent is definitely that. It's fruity, but I would say it's also a warm, cozy scent. As of now it's sold out on the website, but it will be restocking soon!
This weekend I am going to *finally* decorate for Fall, and hope that it manifests some cooler weather in the near future! Have a great one!
