Strawberry Pick & 90+ degrees

Yesterday, my Mom and I headed out at 8AM to go strawberry picking. It was IV's first time and he loved it...I swear he must have eaten 20+ strawberries while we were there.

Like most of the East Coast, we are in the midst of a heat wave - yesterday the temps reached close to 100 degrees and it will be the same today.







We spent only an hour strawberry picking - due to the heat..then we headed to my parents house to enjoy a day by/in the pool.



My Dad and IV

Thank you so much to my Mom and Dad for such a great day. I don't think we could have kicked off the first day of Summer any other way. 

HAPPY SUMMER, Friends!

Happy Fathers Day, Dad


When I say "we are so lucky" - I mean it. That guy in the picture above is my Dad - one of the coolest, most loving Fathers a girl could ask for. 

Happy Fathers Day, Dad! 

I love you. 

P.S. My sisters outfit is hilarious!

I was recently tagged by Mrs Momma Bee over at From Our Place to Yours for 11 Things...so here we go.

11 Things you may not know about me: 

1. I've known my Husband for 18 years. We met in High School and graduated in 1998.

{yes. these are our real yearbook photos}


2. I was a smoker in college - and a few years after college. Eeeek! 

3. I have three tattoos. Two are pointless/college tattoos and one I hold dear to my heart. 



4. Number 4 is about my sweet IV (the fourth) - I got pregnant on our first try - and I knew we'd have a Son. 


5. I love Captain and Diet Coke. It's my drink of choice.

6. I married the man of my dreams on Lake Winnipesaukee (where I grew up) on May 19th, 2007.


7. While growing up on that Lake, my Sister and I had a boat named "WILD CHILD". 

8. We would love to have two children - and would love them 2+ years apart.

9. If you could do anything, what is your dream job?
Own a cheese and wine store...a cute one. Or maybe get back on that Gas Dock on the Lake.

10. What is your guilty pleasure?
Dirty Martini's and reality shows.  

11. What is the best piece of advice you've ever received, and who gave it to you?
"Fuck 'em...if they don't like it...oh well." (seriously! and I just gave that advice to someone else)

That's all, Friends. Happy Tuesday.

DIY - Toothpick Flag Wreath

Hands down - the easiest wreath I've made and not time consuming.


Wreath and ribbon can be found at Michaels. The toothpick flags can be purchased here.




And this wreath would't be complete without this guy below...

Happy June!

With it being June 1st - that makes me so happy. I'm a total Summer gal. I am looking forward to all the fun IV will have this Summer. Trips to the lake, picnics in the park and days by my parents pool. 

Yesterday, I packed up some snacks and IV and I headed to a small lake near our house. It's a source of drinking water so you can't swim in it...but you can fish and go boating. Seeing it was an 80 degree day - the place was packed - but we stayed long enough to enjoy the Loons and sail boats...and a few snacks. 






Enjoy your weekend, Friends.
