Phew, July was a very big and busy month. I did a lot of work to the house in South Portland, Lily and I moved (again), and Lily turned FOUR!!! I did miss two days this month, but I’m not beating myself up for that. There was *a lot* going on this month! Being back in South Portland has been good for the both of us ๐ Check out July’s installment of my photo of the day project!
1 // Starting the big task of painting every room in the house!
2 // I bought new area rugs for the living room and my bedroom and I love them ๐
3 // We bought this car used almost two years ago, and I just recently hit 90k miles on it!
4 // Lily’s first time using sparklers! She was a little scared at first, but was doing it on her own in no time! Love watching her experience things for the first time ๐
5 // The finds from her scavenger hunt a friend sent us!
6 // Went back to the house today to finish up more painting and getting stuff ready. Lily’s room is ready to be moved into!
7 // I made this quilt, and it is a beast to wash and dry, haha.
8 // Had an awesome dinner with my mom and Lily at Miguel’s! My mom had never had fried ice cream before!
9 // Getting packed up to move again.
10 // Weekly bump photo.
11 // Stocked up on plants for the house today.
12 // Moved to South Portland today and ended the night with a trip to Willard beach.
13 // My favorite corner in the living room ๐
14 // Had dinner on the beach with a friend at Kettle Cove!
15 // Switched up my weekly photo this week ๐ I really like how these came out, and I regret not doing these more regularly with Lily’s pregnancy.
16 // I bought myself an air fryer when I was shopping for the house, and I’m loving it. I made homemade mozzarella sticks for the first time and it was SO good!
17 // Dinner on the beach with another friend at Higgins Beach! I had no idea you could see this shipwreck at low tide!! It was so neat to see!
18 // Lily getting her sea monkeys ready! It was a birthday gift from a dear friend of ours! She’s obsessed with them ๐
19 // Love this new plant. The leaves that are new are orange at first and then turn to green!
20 // Lily + Jenn making rice krispie treats!
21 // My lilies absolutely exploded this year – there were soooo many!
22 // I think I’m 24 or 25 weeks here ๐
23 // For Lily’s actual birthday, she, Jenn and I went to Sebago Lake state park for the first time and Lily LOVED it. She was literally dragging her feet when it was time to go – she didn’t want to leave! It’s made me so happy how much more comfortable she’s gotten with the water this summer ๐
24 // Lily’s birthday BBQ! So fun!
25 // I replaced my kitchen faucet all by myself. It took all day, two trips to home depot, and lots of frustration – but I did it!
26 // Lily in her new tie dye she made at her birthday BBQ!
27 // Have I mentioned I love my air fryer? Made zucchini sticks today ๐
28 // I absolutely LOVE this photo of Lily and my mom at Seabrook beach ๐ They were having so much fun running in and out of the waves ๐
29 // Lily peeking in on us during lunch at the beach house ๐
