shopping finds : for the boy

our son has been going to swimming classes since he was 2 1/2 and i have been lugging with me a big ole tote full of his clothes for change-ups afterwards including a pair of shorts or pants, a shirt, swimming trunks, underwear, towel and crocs. it's always a rush to get in and out of there and finding a simple quick cover-up to throw on is such a time saver! 

of course, i was excited to find these towelling throw on from mini-boden which are perfect for a trip to the beach or for us, our son's weekly post-swim class coverups. i read that they're made of cotton and polyester and that they're comfortable. plus the fact that they come in adorable colors and designs, it's too cute not to get them. so, now i only pack his swimwear, extra underwear and this coverup and we are out the door! 

i love it that simple finds like these makes our busy mommy life easy!

you can shop for them HERE. (btw, last day of 25% spring sale is today)

DIY grilled cheese bar

throwing a last minute get-together with friends? katherine from the blog, the side stuff, shows us her fun idea of a deluxe grilled cheese bar party she recently hosted. what a great idea getting your guests to build their own grilled cheese sandwiches and scooping their own roasted red pepper soup to match it. less preparation and best of all, minimal clean up! 

the cool instruction signage to guide the guests

with simple eye-catching decor ~ you've got yourself an amazing party with a cool DIY "cooking" concept all the guests get to enjoy!

YUM! 

for the complete post and detail of this awesome party, visit HERE. thank you katherine for sharing!
