This is my job.

Working in daycare is like this: Pick up toys. Change a poopy diaper. "Don't climb on the tables, please." Wash their hands. Read books. Wipe a runny nose. Change a poopy diaper. "Please don't hit your friends." Put their shoes back on them. Play outside. Wash their hands. Change a poopy diaper. Hugs. Time to eat. Change diapers. Wash their hands. Time to sleep. "Get back on your bed, please." Put their shoes back on them. Change a poopy diaper. "No, thank you. Please don't throw that." Wipe a runny nose. Wash their hands. Read books. Pick up sippy cups. Pick up toys. Blow bubbles. Change a poopy diaper. "Don't put that in your mouth." Put their shoes back on them. Hugs. Wipe a runny nose. "Where are your shoes?" Play outside. Have snack. Change diapers. And more diapers. Oh, and they don't have their shoes on again.

They've put me in a younger class. It's better, but still tiring. At least they're all cute.

this is a post about my littlest brother.

This is Cooper aka "Coopy." He is the baby of the family. He was never supposed to get any older than 3 but, to my dismay, he has. I told him a little while ago that I need to get more hugs from him and he agreed. Now anytime I ask him for a hug, no matter what he is doing, he makes sure to come quick. The other day I heard him talking to my siblings. He said, "Hey, you know how Jesus likes you? Well I don't think He would like what you are doing right now." At the pool today, he would only let me catch him when he jumped in. I was flattered until the thirtieth time jumping in and I was like, "Can't someone else catch you?" Awh well, I still love him.

Warby Parker.

Hey, have you ever heard of Warby Parker? It's a one for one glasses company: meaning when you buy a pair they give a pair away to someone in need. Not too different from TOMS. But what is even more awesome is that they have a free Home Try-On program. They send frames you are interested in trying on right to your home. You then have five days to try them on and get a feel for which ones you like best. After five days you send them back. Brilliant, right? Well I just got mine in the mail today! EEEEEE. So I wanna know what you guys think. I have my favorites but I'm interested to see what other people think looks best. So here are the choices.

1. Miles 2. Preston 3. Finn 4. Huxley

What do you think? Which ones?

matchy matchy.

I styled all our clothing today. I don't have my own kids so I have to use my siblings.

Happy Father's day.

I sat in front of a tone deaf girl in church today.
There are no words.

music to share.

This is my very talented friend, Gabriel. This video was made a little while ago and I realized all y'all need to see it. He lets me sing with him sometimes which is super awesome. You can check out other stuff from him here.

Summer.

Besides working, I basically just hang out with these two all the time.

This summer, I'm a kid again.
(Pay no attention to the fact that you have now seen the shirt I'm wearing three times on this blog. Don't judge me.)

Skincare Sally.

Products 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

I officially have long hair.

It's here. The day that I realize I have long hair. It has taken me three years to get this hair. THREE YEARS. I am so happy it's here. I know this sounds ridiculous, a whole spiel over hair. But hair is important to a girl and I am proud that I had enough patience to wait this long instead of getting tired of it and just chopping it off again. Good job, Bee. Go eat some ice cream to celebrate. Better yet, go brush your hair.

garage sale saturday.

A collection of all of our finds. I would say it was a successful day.

today was a good day.

You know those days where you don't really expect anything great to happen and then since your expectations are so low you end up having an awesome day? today was like that. I started working part time at the daycare because, let's be honest, that job is too stressful to be there five days a week. Now I work two days a week and it is awesome. One reason it is awesome is because the "older kids" (the children in my family are split between two groups: the older kids and the younger kids. The older kids being me, Spencer, Connor, and Emma) are officially out of school for the summer. Basically this means that Connor, Emma and I have gone to the pool twice this week and have no intentions of slowing down trips to said pool. I love the pool. Moving on. The heater in the pool is broken and it was pretty chilly today. So although we had fun we didn't last very long, at which point we found ourselves on a little adventure: We found a garage sale. And when I say garage sale I mean, this lady realized that she was a semi-hoarder and decided to throw everything in her house on her front lawn. We found a few things and Connor even got something for free; this just gave us the itch, the garage sale itch. We decided to look a little further for yard sales. We found a few more and as we skimmed the couple tables, Connor came upon a shoe. But not just any kind of shoe, a shoe phone. 50 cents, people. I mean, it's not like we can really use it, but it is still awesome. Connor loves all things eighties, so the shoe phone was no exception. It is the perfect edition to his room.

We concluded our adventure with a trip to the library. For the last while, I have been toying with the idea of reading comic books. I know what you're thinking and that is why I have been only contemplating reading them for the last six months instead of actually doing it. But today I decided to get over it and we went to the library to find me some Stan Lee goodness. I do not regret it. I wish I would have found them sooner. Comic books are awesome. They are cheesy and entertaining and fun. I am excited about it.

oh also, I had Chipotle today. And no day that includes Chipotle can be bad.

For those of you interested:
Jordan is doing great in Georgia.
We got to talk today for the first time in four days

(another reason why today was awesome). He said to me,
"Even though it's difficult being apart, I really love my job."
When he's happy, I'm happy.

i'm a copycat.

What do all of these books have in common? Well, they are all favorites of mine.

So awhile ago my friend Brittany from the fabulous blog Notwofish (seriously, I have a little blog envy) decided to keep a list of books on her blog that she is reading, read, and wanting to read. So, I thought, "I have a long summer ahead of me" and decided, "What better time than now to have a book list?" Yeah? Yes. I am totally looking for suggestions and would love it if you could comment with some of your favorite books, then I can become one of those library people. I have always wanted to be one of them! Isn't this exciting? Well, I think it is.

oh, babies.

My best friend, Carly, is pregnant with a little baby girl. Today we had her shower. It was sugar and spice and everything nice. Everything had a pink glow to it, even the people at times. It was awesome.

Carly with the party planner, Lindsey.
Good Job, Linds. "Ya did good."

this is a post about the little things.

when the lights go down in a movie theater. when someone texts you back right away. being the first in line for a parking spot at the front. putting sweats on at the end of the day. opening the fridge and remembering you have leftovers from a restaurant. when an item rings up cheaper than you had expected at the register. when you wake up at night and look at the alarm clock and it's only 1:00 am. perfectly peeling off a sticker.

these are just some things i love. oh also, i love Jordan. and p.s i started no make up today and i already want to quit. HELP.
