Friday Favorites – Favorite Summer Memories Edition {08.30.19}
It’s the last Friday Favorites of summer. With the cooler temperatures we had last weekend, and heading up to the Hills this weekend to visit my parents, I’m mentally ready to take the step into Fall.
I thought it would be fun to look back on the summer slightly different this Friday with a round-up of my favorite summer memories this year.
We had such a fun summer. Harrison was into EVERYTHING this summer. He was interacting and starting to talk, napping less, exploring the world, and it made summer so fun!

Stain Treating 101
There comes a point in your life when you feel like you’ve done something so many times, that you must be considered an expert by this point. I had this realization the other day when Harrison’s daycare sent me a picture of him creating a masterpiece art project using a pinecone as a brush, and he was covered from head to toe in purple paint. Clothes still on – purple paint. And I didn’t even have a moment of panic about how the clothes were likely ruined, as I looked at the intense concentration of my son’s face creating said masterpiece.

I’m not sure where this month went. We’ve been enjoying the last little bits of summer, and prepping for a trip up to my parents’ cabin over Labor Day! Today, I’m linking up with Shay and Sheaffer to share with you what’s going on in the Lane’s life.
1: WHAT WE’RE EATING THIS WEEK:
Nathan’s traveling for work again this week, and we’re getting ready to leave on our roadtrip up to South Dakota to visit my parents, so I’m going to be keeping this week sooooo easy. Like “hello prepared food section” of the grocery store. So, if you’re looking for a little inspiration, I’ll share last week’s meal plan 🙂

Today is a very important day around the Lane house. It’s National Dog Day. I posted this picture on Instagram a couple of weeks ago.
(Not so) Little Miss Sawyer was my first baby. She’s my shadow. And she was one of the greatest blessings in my life. It may sound crazy, but she gave me the confidence that maybe someday I could be a good mom. She has loved me through some truly difficult times.

Some of you are all, “I CAN’T WAIT FOR FALL! Crisp air, leaves changing, pumpkin spice. Cozy sweaters.” But I’m all over here hanging on to summer. This summer seemed to go so fast. And I’m only in a small bit of denial about it coming to an end. In two more weekends, I’ll embrace fall fully. Don’t you worry. 🙂

It’s been a minute since sharing a favorite recipe. I’ve been cooking less with all of our family travel this summer, grilling/smoker season!

Read moreTuesday Talk – Roadtripping Help Needed!
I need advice. We’ve conquered traveling with Harrison by air. I even wrote about the things I wish I had known before traveling with a toddler by air.
We did roadtrips last year when Harrison was still a teeny tiny baby. And while traveling by car is not my preferred mode of transportation, it’s a necessary evil.
