Living The Harris Life

Well I unintentionally took a few weeks off from blogging. Life happened and blogging took a backseat but I'm back. :)  I know we still have a week left in July, but it has been a super busy month. These are just a few of the events that have occurred this month.  It's been a bad month for air conditioning at our house. The a/c in my husband's truck went out and the a/c in our house wasn't cooling. We are also in the middle of a heatwave in Alabama so both of those had to be fixed. They are done and behind us so hopefully we don't have any more problems out of them for a while.  The kiddos needed new shoes, and with growing feet they really needed to be with me so we could make sure they fit. Brody got a cool pair of Nike's that he is loving. Evie found these cute Leopard shoes that she just fell in love with. Of course we had to test them out on a walk one evening when it was actually cool enough outside. Our sweet Emma somehow inju

There is a beautiful sunflower that blooms for only about 10-15 days once a year that is about 40 minutes from where we live, but it was well worth the drive. The heat was pretty intense when we first got there, but as time went on a storm started rolling in so that really cooled things off. We had a fun afternoon and I think we ended almost walking two miles before we left.  My sweet babies This handsome boy keeps us laughing.  Oh how we adore this beautiful, silly girl. I'm so thankful for my little family, these two and their Daddy made my dreams of being a wife and Mama come true.  I hope you all have a wonderful and safe week. Hope 

The 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays. For us it just consists of simple fun and traditions with our family. We have a few traditions that we always do with the kids that I hope they remember when they are grown up.  Glass Bottle Cokes and The Sandlot Glass Bottle Cokes were always a staple at my Maw Maw's house growing up. She had a bottle opener on the cabinet under her sink. I spent lots of time with her growing up and a glass bottle coke will always make me think of her. Plus coke tastes better out of a glass bottle. We also always watch The Sandlot around the 4th, I can't think of a movie that describes summer better.  Patriotic Shirts We always make sure we have red, white, and blue to wear on the 4th. Of course this Mama has to take pictures of her kiddos in their patriotic clothes. These are a few of my favorite from previous years. 2017 2019 My husband also loves to grill out. One of the yummy sides we usually have is corn
