Nighttime routines are one of my favorite times of the day, especially when we have Mara and Wes. Beckam always gets so excited when they are home and wants to do everything with them!  Even our routine moments are automatically 10x more fun with Mara and Wes here.

We got a bunch of Oral-B Cross Action Toothbrushes from Costco and the kids all got to choose their own color.  These brushes, toothpaste, and floss are all available at Costco. They are running a deal – $4 off for toothpaste and floss each and $5 off these toothbrushes from now through June 16th so grab them on sale! Costco is our one-stop shop for pretty much everything we need on a daily basis!

You know sometimes when you are doing something, and the kids are in complete chaos, and then time almost freezes, the kids are laughing so hard, and you realize you are watching memories you don’t want to forget. It’s not always the grand moments of memorable vacations or big occasions that stick with you, but sometimes it’s those small, repetitive moments and routines that you might take for granted. Sometimes I catch myself rushing them to bed and getting everyone ready, that I miss how silly they are being. They other day they were laughing SO hard making the silliest faces and stories as they brushed their teeth. Beckam pretended he was flossing his teeth with Wes’ “stink tutes” – yes so gross, and 95% of the time I’m like, guys stop using potty words, but they were almost crying they were laughing so hard so I just sat back and laughed. And it hit me, these are my favorite moments, the little moments every day that bring us all together.

What are some mom moments that you think are underrated? Would love to hear!

Summer beauty is all about a fresh face, that sun-kissed glow, and an effortless, easy look. Here are my beauty-musts to feel that summer glow from head to toe!

Don’t skip straight to skincare – your hair plays a huge part in your beauty routine. After a long, dry winter it’s all about getting the shine back for the summer (not to mention keeping your hair healthy between dips in the chlorine pool water or the harsh saltwater ocean). Keep it simple with the Pantene Advanced Care 5-in-1 Shampoo & Conditioner – it has 3x the antioxidants so it’s all about getting that healthy shine. Head out for the day with a messy bun or add some beach waves for date night. You can get Pantene Advanced Care for $2 off at Costco now through June 23 so grab it on sale now!

Your smile is another feature you might forget about, but nothing complements your tan better than a white smile. I’ve been using the Crest 3D White and Whitestrips forever (like since high school!) – honestly makes such a difference! (Costco is running a deal on Crest Whitestrips $12 off now through June 16!) Just add your favorite summer lip gloss or a moisturizing lip balm. I love this natural Bare Minerals gloss.

In one word – hydrate!! It’s so important to drink lots of water during the summer and when you are out in the sun, but hydration doesn’t end there. Keep your skin moisturized during the summer as well – not only will it help plump, firm, and correct fine lines, it can also help extend your tan. I love the texture of the Olay Micro Sculpting Cream – you’ve seen it on my blog a lot! I use it as a base before adding a tinted moisturizer or a lightweight foundation with your favorite bronzer (loving this one) and highlighter. You should also apply moisturizer to your neck and décolleté as well – the same goes for any skincare products you use for your face!

Costco has tons of tried and true beauty brands so you can find everything you need to streamline your summer beauty routine in one place. What are some of your favorites?
