“Puzzling” Makes a Return

Hello, September! Our Summer Postcard series for the month of August is over and we’re back to regular posting. That was fun. Hopefully I’ve reclaimed my daily blogging rhythm as we head into the fall…

After a nearly year-long hiatus, our daughter’s puzzle obsession has returned with gusto. Today’s challenge for our three year old?

This 100 piece Ravensburger ocean puzzle that we recently found at a thrift store for $1.

We worked on sorting the pieces by colors and textures together and then she flew through assembling it.

Such fun. A perfect morning homeschool activity.

And quite honestly I don’t think she looked at the box top once. That being said, I might have used it to point her in the right direction once or twice or ten times. Cause mama’s are helpful like that and sometimes *we* need help.

Lilly Pulitzer Small Original Tote Bag

We found lululemon athletica and Lilly Pulitzer stores while on vacation in Princeton. I was such a goner. The girl who rarely treats herself made up for lost time. I’m so in love with this bag.

What’s a visit to the East Coast without a trip to the Jersey Shore?! David and I have many fond childhood memories playing at the shore.

Now that we live in California we really appreciate being able to swim in the Atlantic Ocean, something we would never do at the beach near our house. (Brr! Too cold!)
