July Love Letter

a list of everything, right now.

EATING

My grilled chicken caprese pasta salad. And my best baked beans ever! They are truly fabulous.

DRINKING

Watermelon frose. Oh and frozen gin and tonics too!

MAKING

My peach bruschetta and peach burrata crostini. Love peach season so much.

BAKING

My peanut butter golden grahams s’mores bars (even though they are no bake!). And my triple berry sheet cake.

CRAVING

A gouda smash burger with house sauce. And my lettuce wrap burgers with caramelized onions.

GRILLING

My flaming hot cheetos grilled corn. I’m sorry! But really not at all.

SNACKING

On my chilled queso! It is so incredible. Everyone is always shocked at how easy and delicious this is.

READING

Just started The Art of Vanishing! Here is my giant summer reading list for you.

LISTENING

To my golden hour playlist. It’s just so good.

LOVING

I packed for our beach vacation in two large hulken totes and I can’t even tell you how amazing this was. I didn’t pack clothes, but I did use it for things like beach towels, toiletries, kitchen items I always take, some swim gear, shoes, etc. I’ve obviously talked about these bags a billion times, but this is the first time I used them to pack. Excellent.

SHARING

A big giant 4th of July recipe guide. Along with my favorites kids’ neon swim gear (it makes it SO easy to see them in the water), most of our kids’ summer favorite things, all of the outdoor entertaining things I use and love, plus an updated list of our vacation must haves after going.

SHOPPING

I don’t even know who I am, but I really want to try these stretch silk palazzo pants! Those with my fave black tank? Yes yes.

SEARCHING

For the best travel tote that has a zipper! And is sort of structured? And can fit a 16-inch laptop. Tell me all of your recs!

WEARING

Five things I’ve been wearing on repeat: my favorite summer hat, a white eyelet dress, this denim jacket, the eggshell birkenstocks and the forever yours cardi (it’s like wearing a blanket!).

CELEBRATING

The 4th of July! Having the best party with all the best snacks!
