As you may have picked up on by now 😉, Backcountry is the Larkin Family’s #1 destination for all things active and outdoorsy. And now that spring has finally sprung in Chicago, we’re out and about—and using our favorite gear—more than ever! So today I’m going to be highlighting a few of our favorite Backcountry activewear products, and sharing a coupon code. :)

In this week’s edition of I Have Things Going on in his Life I swear, we explore a clumsy little gardening activity, the love lives of Neanderthals, and the last moments of the existence of dinosaurs. Enjoy!

Hey, Friends. :) I fell behind on life last week, so I took a few days to get things back in order. Feels great to start the week with a tidy home and a clear head! Here are the first 10 things that come to mind:
~$20 Amazon Essentials Sandals (Wedge version here.) / Old J.Crew Dress (But I would recommend this black Tuckernuck shirt dress. It’s my go-to summer dress! I also love this very similar dress from Madewell, made out of the same material as the one I’m wearing.) / Goyard Bag (That’s my review!) / Clara Williams Magnetic Pearl Bracelet / Ray-Ban Sunglasses / Pearl Bow Earrings
It’s about time I did a post on Amazon Essentials Sandals, because they’re wildlycomfortable and ridiculously affordable.
I credit my sister-in-law, Kim, for this find. When we were down in New Orleans visiting my brother’s family over spring break, she swore up and down about these sandals… and I figured why not give ’em a try?

Big news today, so hold my calls, clear my schedule, put on a pot of coffee and lock the kids in their rooms. Delete Twitter from my phone, order a pizza, throw away the TV remote, and boil some macaroni. Pre-tie my shoes, put two s’mores in a ziplock bag, run a bath, and write this on my Facebook Wall: Rothy’s has men’s shoes now!

Madewell Asymmetrical Button-Front Linen Dress
On the Recent Finds front 😉, the exciting news is that Madewell brought back its famous Asymmetrical Button-Front Linen Dress. I’m normally not a huge fan of linen, but this dress is worth it, as it’s breezy, comfy and easily dressed down or up. TTS, though you may want to size up for bust size. Grab it before it sells out!

If your life is like my life and/or you’re like my wife, you’re pretty disappointed in the clothes your husband chooses to wear every day. (Confused? It’s fine.) Fear not, though, because today I have the ultimate husband outfit hack that will improve his look for less than $50 per outfit.
This is the story of a girl who went from having dry, brittle and thin hair to having healthy, strong and much thicker hair—all thanks to $5.
This post is sponsored by Pantene. I’m a diehard fan, and all passionate expressions of love are real. As always, thank you so, so much for supporting the partnerships that keep Kelly in the City up and running!
Chappy Wrap teamed up with Sara Fitz to make a striped shirt blanket. It’s perfect! You can see the whole collection here. The Nantucket basket blanket is also 😍.
Grab your coffee! Here are the first 15 things that come to mind this morning:

Had to push back Recent Finds a day, but happy Saturday!
What are you guys up to today? Our kitchen is being finished (hallelujah!) so we took the girls out to breakfast. It was raining and we couldn’t get in anywhere, so we ended up at a pizza place. 😆 But pizza for breakfast isn’t as bad as you’d think! Tonight, we’re celebrating our neighbors’ birthdays after the kids go down. Fingers crossed for good weather! Other than that, pretty average rainy weekend over here… which is actually nice, because it gives us an excuse to hang around together. :)
