1 // MY GO-TO FARMER FOOTWEAR
Last fall, my husband surprised me with these muck boots. I balked at the price, but they have proven to be worth every penny. I like that they are easy to pull on quickly and are relatively comfortable for a rubber shoe! I have worn them in sun and snow and rain and they’ve held up beautifully.
2 // A WICKER BUTTOCKS BASKET FOR COLLECTING EGGS
If you can get past the funny name, this is the best egg basket! I love the vintage one I found and how it looks on the kitchen counter. Etsy has a ton of options, including this one, this one, and this one too. So cute!
3 // OUR NEW FAVORITE BLUEBERRY PIE
For the fourth of July, I made this blueberry crumble pie and the kids still talk about it. It was the first time I’ve ever included shredded apple in the filling, which helped keep the blueberries from spilling every which way. And the crumble topping? Yum.
4 // DAD’S CLASSIC MOVIE SUMMER SERIES
One fun activity my husband has started with the kids is a “Classic Movie Night” filled with some of his childhood favorites. Some are appropriate for the entire family, some are a little more mature or intense. A few of their favorites:
- The Mark of Zorro
- The Adventures of Robin Hood
- The Magnificent Seven
- The Sons of Katie Elder
- The Guns of Navarone
5 // A SOLUTION FOR BETTER QUALITY SLEEP
This is turning out to be a list inspired by my husband, ha! He recently started using this mouth tape and we’ve been amazed at the difference in his sleep quality. Turns out that breathing through your nose is really important!
I just recently learned about # 5 but it is still such a weird concept to me lol
I know! We were skeptical, but I guess once you get used to it, it works great! And technically there is a tiny “breathing vent” in the middle, so you can’t really suffocate.
So I have sleep apnea and I have used a CPAP for about a year now. And since being diagnosed I have done a lot of reading about sleep apnea and breathing, and gosh the research confirms what you say- nose breathing is so important!!
Also wanted to say, I LOVE your egg basket. Gosh it’s the cutest thing ever!
