Summer Lovin'

                                      Hola! 

Well, I have really been enjoying the summer so far! We've hit the water park, museum, a festival, went to an awesome flea market a few hours away and popped into the fair this past weekend. We have a lot more planned as well. I got a great idea from Organize and Decorate Everything. She printed photos offline of things her family wanted to do through the summer. She strung them up in her living room and replaced the printed photos with an actual snapshot of her family doing whichever adventure they accomplished. Super cool right? Well I haven't really done that (yet) but it just made me dream of everything that summer is to me. 

 

When we took our mini road trip to check out a Flea Market in Bowling Green, KY.. the drive was gorgeous! Not to mention, we came across the "400 Mile Yard Sale!" We've watched that on HGTV before and we love it! So, needless to say, it was amazing to check out. On the way there, Maxx and I couldn't help but drift into dreamland a bit. We talked about how cool it would be to be driving a vintage convertible out in the country like we were. He joked about how I'd be in a sundress with one of those huge hats and sunglasses. I think he would look so handsome as the sun bounced off his freckles (which are my fave btw.) 

Summer is so fun to talk about! Even if we never do anything like what is trapped in our minds, it's still fun to think about. If everything were rainbows and butterflies, my version of summer would look a little like this;

Me-in a black vintage one piece bikini laying poolside with my heels, hat, and shades on (to prevent under eye wrinkles, of course.) Noelle (and our future minis) playing in the sprinklers, laughing their beautiful laughs. Maxx would be doing some laps in the pool and then fire up the grill. The sun would be so bright but the air wouldn't be so hot. Just warm, with a light breeze. The grass would be green. Not just green, but summer green. Then, I would go get my already prepared homemade lemonade (courtesy of my Aunt B) and cookies to bring to my amazing family and friends. 

We'd have a lovely patio arrangement with plenty of seating for our guests. Nothing expensive, just charming. I'd have a handmade centerpiece and also some bright blue and white hydrangeas, of course. We would have our record player out and have a little Sinatra playing in the background. 

Lots of trees, plenty of love, and a lotta summer.

Just a dream for now.
