Years ago, I used to do a semi-regular feature on things I was loving. With the world as upside down as it is these days, I feel like we could all use as many pro tips for doing life as possible– so I’m bringing it back!

Insta-Worthy Inflatable Pools
The heat arrived in Washington last week and I immediately made my way to Target to get my backyard ready. I had no idea there was a whole new wave of super stylish inflatable pools out there. But you better believe I snatched one up as soon as I saw it.
I grabbed the watermelon Minnidip and it’s so bright and cheerful in our yard.
Turns out, I’m not the only one who loves these things. Target’s line of designer Minnidip pools are completely sold out, except for these two smaller-kid edition.
I’d recommend checking the shelves of your Target in person, though, as that’s where I scored mine last Thursday. There’s also a lot of other cute options on Amazon.

The Perfect Gift: A Box of Jerky
I recently partnered with the folks at The Manly Man Company to gift The Best Jerky Box to my dad for Father’s Day. It was a big hit!
He plays a lot of golf so I figured it would be the perfect protein treat to keep in his cart.
With hiking being the social distancing activity of the summer, this fun gift box would be perfect for almost anyone on your list.
Hint: Check out the Booze Infused Jerky Gift Box for another super unique gift idea.

TikTok Hike Recommendations
And speaking of hiking, my new favorite way to find cool spots to explore with my family is by trolling TikTok.
All you have to do is find a hashtag for your area- my current favs are #pnwonderland and #washingtoncheck.
Not only will you find lots of great day trip ideas, you’ll get super inspired to actually get off your butt and go!
