tons of cute new stuff

As the official 1st day of summer is finally here I have been reminded the past few weeks why this season ties with fall for my favorite times of year.....




Sweet Tea just tastes better. Really Like McDonalds tea right now and for only 1.00 I don't have shopper's remorse like I do when savoring a frap at Starbucks which is over 5.00. What would I pick if given a choice...well depends on who's buying and how much sleep I got the night before!



That lightening bugs take me back to childhood in a matter of seconds. Taught Jacks the other night the art of catching them. I noticed every time either he or I saw one, we smiled. Not too many bugs I could smile about for sure. Okay maybe Lady bugs but they are cute and plus I can hear my papaws lady bug song still to the day when we would see them when I was growing up.



Water skiing on the lake when the water is as smooth as a baby's u know what. My fav is Greers Ferry but grew up on that lake so hard for me to appreciate the others in Ar in the same way. I would love to swing from rope off  a tree into the lake like me and my Dad use to do. Another fav past time that makes me smile.

Anticipation of summer vacation
O yes then there is the actual vacation
Cute sandals
Baseball
Slipin and Sliding
More time with friends
Babies little chunky rolls in a swimsuit
Laying out...if and when that actually happens
Just enjoying home with kids
Making homemade lemonade with the kids and ooey gooey butter cake
Shopping all the summer sales and deals
Cute sun dresses
Beautiful summer wedding to have an excuse to get all dressed up for like this amazing dress  from Cache.This can be bought on my fb page for 40.00 and it retails for 260.00. Size 8.
Snow cones and home made ice-cream
Float trips
Hearing the kids laugh as they run through the sprinklers
Tan lines
Smell of coconut products
Sleeping In ..well at least the kids so Mom actually work from home before the day really begins
fresh cut grass
Mine, Bay's and Jackson's Bday...I love Birthdays!!
Thunderstorms...well not this year so far as they have been crazy but ready for just a normal thunderstorm with out the threat of severe weather
Seafood just is better in the summer too especially at the beach! Crab legs are calling my name.
Hearing songs right now that I haven't heard in a while..like strawberry wine and other 80-90's hits that take me back to summer

And last but not least would be all of the cute clothes for the kiddos. I love boutique clothing and can't get enough of fun patterns from everything from Freckles and Kitty, Cach Cach, Gigi,Chit Chat, Baby Lulu, and a new fav right now with this years line is Kash Ten.
Kash Ten set 3t and 4t for sale on my site. These look like new and retail for 78.00 and at my fb page they are only 19.00 for both pieces. You can't beat it~!


Love the fun cotton ruffles, the beautiful bright colors and of course the fun floral details. Also love chatti patti and a new one in our closet right now is pink chandelier. It just screams girl to me and my girls scream with glee when I show them so therefore its worth Mommy getting up a few hrs before everyone else if that means those glees from time to time.Also am a huge fan of the brand Miss Tee V US. We have lots of it and my girls love the comfort as well. Here is a dress by this brand in a 2t. Love how the colors pop and the patterns. retails for 78.00 and this is only 17.00 on my facebook page at www.facebook.com/beentheredonethatboutique plus there are tons more priced 3.00-19.00 on all outfits,dresses, etc. Furniture, gear, baby must haves, maternity, electronics all varies. Lots of stuff just marked down so check it out and enjoy your summer.



What about for the boys?

 And for my son..well he has his own little style already at six. Very strong willed and such an individual which I love. He loves designer style denim, knuckle heads..has such fun hats that are so him, and vintage style tshirts. He also likes things that say who he is..like loud, different, fun, so I got him a knuckle head jumpsuit to wear in fall. I bought it online and was nervous about what his reaction would be but I so got the glee and squeal. He wants to wear it now even though we are in AR and almost 100 degrees. At least that is one thing I will have to look forward to the fall. Seeing him in that cute knuckle head jumpsuit with that little smirk and his Daddy just shaking his head at the fact I bought it and then that his son actually LOVES it. Yes he is such a  traditional type of man.he doesn't like to stand out but likes nice things on..he usually is in a suit and tie so I've had to liven it up with fun patterns and colors. He is an Auditor so since he is a CPA not too many folks in his profession jump out of the norm. I was proud though because he has tried a few things out of his comfort zone. I felt very accomplished to get him in purple and in  pink. He is coming around..it's only taken 15 years!
