We had such a fun week this week celebrating Olive. I love when I get to celebrate my kids and the person they’re becoming. My boys and I also had so much fun doing this rock paper scissors challenge. We also found some new favorites this week, so let’s dive in!

I couldn’t go shorter, but trust me it’s worth watching the ENTIRE THING!!!
Will loves a strawberry shake (and is so good at this game).
Nixon loves a burger!!!!
And I just love getting whatever I can get…and spending time with my kids.
Who do you think did the best?
Seriously you have to watch it all. Sooooo many one liners by mini me 🤣🤣🤣
✨OLIVE’S ROOM REVEAL ✨
Allllll those paper chains finally have a home!! And I have to say…this might be one of my favorite birthday decorating ideas we’ve ever done. 🎉⛓️
Olive is our crafty girl, so when I kept seeing these chunky paper chains all over Instagram, I knew we had to go ALL IN for her birthday. And apparently “all in” meant making enough paper chains to basically wallpaper her entire room. 😂
But LOOK AT IT!! The color, the layers, the chains hanging everywhere–it feels so fun, whimsical, and completely Olive. 💕And seeing her reaction made every single cut, loop, and staple worth it.
I love making birthdays feel a little extra special around here, and this one might be hard to beat.
Now the real question…how long do we leave them up?! Because I’m not ready to take them down. 😂
And if you want to make these yourself, SAVE this post because I promise–you’re going to want to come back to this idea for the next birthday! 🎂✨

When we went to Swiss Days, the bag that stole the weekend’s spotlight sold out. So obviously Emily had to go find one. And I get it, they are so cute and fun. So if you missed out or if you want one as well, check it out here.
If you are sick of your kitchen chairs scraping your floor, you need these. They are going to save you and your sanity, trust me.
I have been getting laser hair removal for a little while now, and my only regret is that I didn’t start earlier. But before you go to your appointment you have to be clean shaven and this is the best razor that I have found. And if you are looking to get laser hair removal done, go to G.O.A.T. they are seriously the best! And don’t forget to use code moderndad for a discount!
We were cleaning out our closet this week and I was so sad that so many things didn’t fit anymore, but in a good way, they were too big! What a good problem to have! But one of my favorite jackets wasn’t too big, which made me so happy. If we are going to have a rainy fall like it’s predicted to be, you will want a rain jacket from Yardsale. Breathable, stylish, and comfortable, all the things you need in a raincoat. Check them out and let me know which one you end up getting.
I’ve been eyeing shirts from Marine Layer for awhile and got this rugby shirt and I wish I had gotten it sooner. You know my love of rugby shirts, but this one might become my favorite. It’s so soft and comfortable and I love the green color.
These golf shorts from Cole Haan are so comfortable. If you are a golfer or if you are married to a golfer, you’re going to want to try these.
We don’t camp that often, but with how much we love our tent, we really should. I dug all our camping gear out this week and noticed our tent is 25% off. It might not be camping season anymore, but do yourself a favor and get this for next year, you will thank your past self.
My friend made this cute needle point canvas that would be perfect for General Conference. Presales started this week, so don’t miss out!
And that’s a wrap on another week around here! Between burgers and strawberry shakes, turning Olive’s room into a paper chain explosion, and finding a few things we’re loving right now, it was a pretty good week. I love that life with kids can be made up of the simplest things, but those are usually the moments we end up remembering the most. Thanks for joining us this week.
