"Beauty" of the blended family

Ran out of hands

I recently was given the opportunity to go to Old Navy and find my inner beach babe and share the experience with three others that I found worthy. My worthy accomplices that day were my good friend and one of my daughters Step mom Liz, my daughter Makenzee and y stepdaughter Jordan. That's were the blended part comes in. I am fortunate enough that every aspect of our families works so well together. Being a Crowdtap member gave me a unique experience to take my family shopping and spend some good fun girlie shopping time together.
Since half of the party lives in Duluth, Mn, we headed to the Miller Hill Mall and did some minor wallet damage. The area was just getting over the major flood, so this was good to just literally get some fresh air and dry out a bit. The towels came a little late, but better at the beach than sopping up water in a flooded basement for sure.
Each of us got to pick out sunglasses, a beach towel, beach bag and a pair of flip flops. So perfect to bring down to Lake Superior once the beach comes back.
The glory of shopping with these girls is all of the giggles we had and seeing how everyone's own personality came out in their choices. As a mom, I loved seeing what my girls picked out. Their habits are always changing since they are teenagers and I can hardly keep up. I am lucky I am one of the cool moms. No, don't go and ask them, they will never fess up, but we know. :)
There was also a fun scavenger hunt that the store added. So insert more giggles and a bouncy ball prize. SCORE!!!

The fourth of July is literally around the corner, so you need to go to your closest Old Navy and score your beach gear too. Don't worry, we left some for ya!
