Happy Friday all! Definitely not much to start this blog post with other than we are now into Summer break for the kids and that means no more packing lunches daily and a bit of a break from homework. Though we are still reading as much as we can because we don't want the girls to fall back during the Summer.

Anyways, onto Friday favorites and Happenings.

ONE. With my upcoming Graeagle trip, I knew that I needed to get a CC cream with spf in it, so I didn't have to wear a full face of makeup daily. Who wants to wear a full face of makeup when they are on vacation? 

I haven't used this product in a few years, but I grabbed a color based on my current foundation selection. I did the find your shade on both Sephora and IT Cosmetics website. I bought it in light which is a taupe color with warm undertones.

I love this CC cream for vacation because it has spf 50 in it and it gives my face some color without going the full makeup route.

I heard they changed their formula, but to me it seems the same so far. Now I know others use this as their daily "foundation", but I usually like more coverage with a traditional foundation.

TWO. J Crew Factory was recently having a sale and since Rory wanted to grab a pair of their khaki's and tees, he needed a bit extra to get 20% off and free shipping. So I have been wanting this shirt for awhile, but never wanted to pay for shipping. But since he had an order, I added this shirt to his order. You may just see it next week in a 4th of July Adult Outfit post, but in a different color.

THREE. My girls had their last day of school on Friday June 3rd. Technically, they were supposed to be in school until Tuesday June 7th (half day), but we had plans for the next week. We asked the girls if they wanted to see their cousins and miss the last day and a half and they really wanted to. Of course, I asked their teachers if they were doing any school work and would miss out on anything big. They said that they were turning in grades on the 3rd and they would miss some movie time, some math practice and reading practice. But mostly just a fun day. So we decided Friday would be their last day. 

I snapped these photos of them. 

And here are side by sides to see how much they have grown in the last year!

FOUR. I saw this dress on Amazon and loved it immediately. It would be so cute for date night, girls night or a casual wedding. My only concern is the little cut out on the belly. After having kids and multiple hernia surgeries, I don't show my stomach that much. Is this too young for me? 

The photos make it seem like my belly button is covered and just shows some stomach which I am ok with. The only problem is it takes a long time to get here. But if I order it now, it will be here by end of June-ish, early July. What do you all think?

FIVE. Weekly funnies.
