Good morning! How was your weekend? We are gearing up for some intense heat so praying our AC holds strong. We definitely spent a great deal of time outside enjoy the breeze and the lovely temps. Here is a recap of life lately with our Monday Morning Wrap Up.
FLOWERS COMING IN
Both our hydrangeas and our SunPatiens are coming in. I can’t wait for the pink flowers to be triple this size. They always last through fall and are so lovely. Our Limelights are fantastic but starting to droop so I think I may have to use these this year.
I usually make my own electrolytes (water, lemon juice, salt, and cream of tartar) but during the summer I like to have these on hand. I also take them when I travel. Clean and really good!! No funky taste that so many of them have.
Everyone seems to be wanting a pair of these lately. Barely there flip flops and very much on trend. But you can grab a similar pair for less than half the price. These are under $20.
SUNSET ON THE DECK
We finally took the plunge and added a couple of Adirondack chairs to this deck (currently 50% off). It’s the best spot for watching sunsets. It’s not covered so we wanted to be sure whatever we put out here could withstand the elements. These also fold which is wonderful. We can bring them in during the winter if we want to. They were easy to put together and so fun to have out here.
The next morning, every single person in our family was enjoying the morning and breeze out here. Thinking maybe I should have bought four. First morning light is a big part of our routine and this is a fun spot for that.
DATE NIGHT
We love the Wedgewood Houston part of Nashville. So many great restaurants including Pastis. Wonderful French food.
I snapped this last night. The Fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays. I love adding simple flags to arrangements. We are looking forward to hosting neighbors on Saturday morning. What are your plans?
DELICIOUS SALAD
Sorry for the terrible screenshot, but this was really yummy! If you like cucumber and dill, you will love this. You could add grilled chicken and make it a summer dinner!
THE WINNERS
In my Saturday Shopping post I shared that Riley called me so frustrated after trying on a million pair of jeans. And then she found these. She is so excited to have a pair of jeans that fit so well. If you are or daughter have a smaller waist and struggle with fit in the back of the waist, these are fantastic (and on sale).
I hope your morning has started off well. I am getting together with my Bible study group. Although we are on a break for the summer, we like to get together for breakfast or lunch. So grateful for this group.
Make it a great day.
