Life as of Late

I cannot believe that May has basically come and gone. It just seemed like the warm weather started, and now we're headed full on towards summer! I'll be the first to say that summer is/has never been my favorite season. I'm all for the ice cold beverages, pretty blooms and beach days. I am not a fan of bees or any bug for that matter, the heat, thunderstorms, and humidity. I enjoy summer, but fall is where it's at for sure. 

Today in CT it's in the high 50's, and I'd be lying if I said I was not already 

thinking about sweaters, boots, and all the color changing leaves...

Back to May, here's what we've been up to lately in iphone photos and all. 

These were taken at our friends beautiful wedding! I spent too much time dancing instead of taking pictures. My bad on that one. 

We bought Mr. Mack a kiddie pool from Walmart. Let me tell ya, it was interesting at first and now he's obsessed! I posted a video on instagram, go check it out. At first he would not get in, he just circled the outside. We put his ball in the middle of the pool and he stared at it, not knowing how to get it. I stepped in and felt how freezing it was, so I didn't blame him one bit. Once he saw I was in, and Wayne started getting the ball and throwing it back into the pool he got a little more curious. One paw led to two, to all four and that's it! He did not want to get out. This is where we will spend the majority of our summer, with out a doubt.

My brother in law's burger creation during a contest at a local burger joint. His was selected to go head to head in a competition for a week long promotion. It's two fried dough buns, marinara sauce, basil, and a slice of fresh mozzarella. Yum! 

 

Talk about good lighting. No filter needed for these beautiful peonies I bought at Whole Foods this weekend! 

 

This was from the weekend before last. We went to a local brewery for a friends birthday. We had a great day outside drinking delicious local beer!

Also new, I'm working on changing up the business website and getting the new logo out there! 

Here she is! Loving it! 

Loving Lately

I've decided to start doing a regular, weekly, biweekly, monthly, whenever post 

about some of the things I've been eying lately. So, without further adieu, here is what 

I've been loving lately! 

#1. Wire Baskets - Perfect for storage, or to appear organized, or to be organized. I'd be fine with appearing organized!

#2. Star Mirror - The one below is from Pottery Barn (swoon), but I do think I recall seeing one at Target! I am obsessed with stars lately. They just give such a whimsical touch to anything.

#3. A garden gnome - W and I are working really hard on our gardens, flower pots, etc. I'll post some photos of our progress soon! Anyways, how sweet would this little Mister be to guard my flowers?! 

I think I need him. 

Now.

#4. Purity - Normally I go to a dermatologist and have a prescription face wash to keep my face clear of breakouts. I was gifted this little bottle of Purity, ran out of my face wash and needed an appointment to refill my prescription. I decided to give it a go and I'm now obsessed! It has worked really well so far, and contains Sodium and Sulphur, two of the ingredients in the prescription face wash. I'll use it a bit longer before I decide, but I think I've officially jumped on the Philosophy bandwagon! This stuff is great.

#5. Star String Lights - We scored a strand of these at Home Depot I believe. So excited to get these up this weekend! All I need is a fire and a yummy cocktail to go along with!

Happy hump day everyone!
