My Favorite Summer Accessory: The Stanley Water Jug I Take Everywhere



If there’s one thing I never leave behind during our busy summer days—park meetups, co-op outings, road trips, and field days—it’s my trusty Stanley Adventure 2 Gallon Fast Flow Water Jug. I have it in the prettiest shade of Rose Quartz, and let me tell you, it is not just cute—it’s a total game changer.

I first bought this jug because I was tired of constantly refilling small water bottles for my crew. With four thirsty kids (and a husband who drinks like a camel), I needed something that could keep up with us. The Stanley delivers. It's insulated, easy to carry, and the fast-flow spigot is a dream—no drips, no waiting, just cold water on demand.

This thing is a summer mom’s dream. It holds 2 gallons of ice water and keeps it cold for hours on even the hottest Texas days. The foam-insulated lid latches tight (no spills in the van!), and the wide mouth makes it easy to fill and clean. I set it up in the back of the van or at our picnic table, and everyone refills their own bottle. Game. Changer.

I’m actually considering buying a second one in a different color—not because I need two (though… maybe I do?), but because I love it that much. One for water, one for lemonade or iced tea? The possibilities are endless.

If you’re looking for a way to simplify your summer, stay hydrated, and save your sanity, this jug might just become your favorite accessory too.

You can get yours here! 

Let’s raise a cup (or five) to staying cool this summer!

Dish Duty: The Hidden Joys of a Full Sink

Why Having Dishes in the Sink is More Important Than You Think When you walk into a kitchen and see dishes piled high in the sink, you might think, “What a mess!” However, there’s more to this scene than meets the eye. Having dishes in the sink can serve several important functions in our daily lives, especially when viewed through the lens of the Gospel. 1. **A Reflection of Real Life** Firstly, dishes in the sink are a testament to life being lived. They represent moments of connection, creativity, and sustenance—much like the communal meals shared in Scripture. Jesus often broke bread with others, illustrating the importance of fellowship. Embracing the clutter in our own lives can remind us that our homes are spaces of activity and warmth, not just perfection. 2. **Encouraging Mindfulness** Seeing dishes in the sink can serve as a prompt for mindfulness. Instead of immediately rushing to clean, take a moment to reflect on the blessings that led to those dishes. Each plate and utens...
