1. Cocktails, compliments of Pinterest! ;)
We've been experimenting around with some different sangrias, a strawberry lime red wine concoction (I don't even know, I just threw some stuff together :P), and yummy mint mojitos.
2. All of the fun summer prints on everything at Target, conveniently on clearance so I can buy it all! I scored a new tray for our ottoman in a fun turquoise and yellow rose design for only $3. I don't care if it's not summer year round, it is in my house! :)
3. Pool days!! The kids love the water an we've been having a blast using their puddle jumpers in the pool. That is one thing I'm going to miss when "summer" is over here in South FL!
4. So this is not really a "new" thing, but it's new to me! I have discovered a recent love for all things monogrammed, gold, glittered, and Lilly Pulitzer! I know, I really think it's my proximity to Palm Beach...it's starting to rub off on me! hah. Daniel is in for a real treat when I start redecorating the house...haha, just kidding ;) maybe I'm just finally embracing my southern roots?!
5. Last but not least, I'd like to give myself a pat on the back...I sewed my second pillow ever and it only took me 30 minutes this time!!! Haha. This is a huge improvement over my first one, that took (only) 2.5 hours and an in depth course from YouTube on how to rethread a sewing machine. I still don't know how the darn thing operates (magic?!) but whatever, it sewed a straight-ish line for me tonight. And I'll take it. The pillow is nothing special (I used some old fabric I had laying around forever) but I'm going to keep it forever as a keepsake of my handiwork! ;)
Oh yeah, and because no post is complete with Logan and Blake...here they are in all their ice pop glory.
