Posting July favorites early b/c the 4th is coming so fast and some of these are great for the holiday!

Burlap July 4th Wreath-I love this patriotic wreath!

 -Michaels does have a smaller version of this, but if you don’t have a local michael’s, this one from amazon will do.

This Time Tomorrow Book-I love time travel books

“Maybe that was the trick to life: to notice all the tiny moments in the day when everything else fell away and, for a split second, or maybe even a few seconds, you had no worries, only pleasure, only appreciating of what was right in front of you.”

Red Plaid Swim-I listed this swim top in my extras last month, but am featuring it this month b/c it’s so perfect for the month of July!

-Retro High Waisted Bottoms-Link is to the striped bottoms b/c I’m digging pattern on pattern lately, but basic black or red will match this top too.

Supergoop Glowscreen– A must for those july days at the pool or beach

Retro Headbands- I got the pack with the yellow and red but I also love the floral set with the light blue and light pink for a more southern headband.

This Peach & Nectarine -I’m a fan of DW home candles. Their fresh scents are just perfection and strong, but this peach scent is the perfect summer candle.

Peony Petals Candle-Also a fave summer scent.

-You can sometimes find these candles at Marshals on SALE so look there first. Almost all of their scents are great.

Malibu Rising– I read this LAST summer, but it’s just such a good summer read and it’s still fairly new.

Lemon Recipes!

Lemon Loaf and Mini Loaves!

Hallie and I have been baking and LOVE this recipe! I’ll have more lemon recipes to share as we bake more, but this one is good. 

If you do mini loaves, cut bake time in half!! You can add things like chocolate chips, blueberries, or white chocolate chips to make different flavored mini loaves.

Also, let the loaf or loaves cool before adding the lemon glaze!

Other summer favorites that don’t fit the photos vibe above 😉

Air Purifier!-this is just a must if you have a pet. We have a little bunny rabbit and this thing works wonders in my office.

Sheer Swim suit cover- These are just right to cover up a swimsuit with something easy to remove and super light weight. My favorite is the colorful one but I also love the greens.

Mission Sun Hat– Fathers day gift idea. You can wet this hat and stay cool. I got this for Tommy for his birthday this past May and he really loves it.
