Spiel the Beans: Summer Indulgence

Is it just me, or were we spieling the beans like 2 days ago? Shelly and I are loving this link-up and we are loving all of your posts but, sheesh this summer is flying by!! We went to Hobby Lobby this weekend and it was full of pumpkins and Christmas trees and I just can.not. We are going to hold on to every ounce of summer that we can, but before I start gabbing about all that I've been indulging on, I want to update you on something from my last post. If you remember my amazing insight into all things summer style, then you will recall I had to use pictures from Pinterest. This little number was one that I thought was both darling and doable...

Well, while we were in Baton Rouge, I came across a darling little striped dress at Target. 

It's a little longer, because, well... I found it in the maternity section. ::laughing while crying emoji:: But, y'all - it is so soft and so darling and since it's made for preggers, I fit in the XS. So, who's laughing now!?! I wore it to church on Saturday and I can tell it will be in heavy rotation. 

For the full effect... 

Clearly we are twins, me and Twigster. And to really pretend like I'm a total fashion blogger, I spiced it up with shoes. I kind of dig the stripes on stripes. 

But enough about that... let's get to indulgences.... now I don't want to make you completely jealous, but I have been indulging A LOT this summer. So just prepare yourself. 

Milk. Y'all. I love milk. I LOVE milk. And since my amazing experience with Whole30 in November, I have cut it dramatically from my diet. I don't really have any negative effects from milk, I just really enjoyed the results from cutting it among other things from my diet. But, y'all. I love it. Like drink it straight out of the container love it. I am going back on the wagon August 1. So until then, I will be eating all the cheese and drinking all the milk. 

So, apparently if I'm not drinking milk, I'm downing beer. (Just kidding, Mom). I've talked about this earlier this summer, but Ryan and I are loving this Prickly Pear. If you can find it, try it out - we LOVE it. 

I love reading and this summer I have taken the time to read and not just blogs! So far I've read The Bungalow, The Best Yes (not quite finished), The Royal We, and I'm currently enjoying The Knockoff. I've also gotten read a ton with the kids. Radley and I finished The Chamber of Secrets and we are almost half-way done with The Prisoner of Azkaban and Emersyn and I are enjoying The Secret Garden. Reading definitely feels like an indulgence, made even sweeter by the fact that I've been checking books out from the library - so fun!

My favorite indulgence by far is all the time I get to spend with this crew. It is not lost on me that the 9 weeks I get with the kids is a gift and I am so grateful for every moment of summer. The days filled with sunshine and swimming, puzzles and pjs, staying up late followed by sleeping in.  These really are the days and each one feels like an indulgence for sure!

Now it's your turn to dish on all of your summer treats! Please place a link back to your specific post URL and not your blog homepage and use the hashtag #spielthebeans on other social media!

Please place a link back to both hosts in either your post or on your party page so that others can link up too. It's a party, try to visit at least 2 other posts and show them some love!  This is the fun part! Be inspired, inspire someone else - don't just link and run!  

We would love, love, love for you to follow us on some form of social media!
