You guys. There are so many s'mores rice krispie treats recipes on Pinterest. It could easily be a category. You know like, "Women's Fashion" "Absurd 5 Minute Work Outs" "Inspiring Quote Layered Over a Photo of the Ocean" & "S'mores Rice Krispie Treat Variations". But I figured I'd throw my own into the ring. I…

Hooray! In my mind, June officially marks the start of summer which means last weekend we came up with our summer manifesto. It's a handful of easy, inexpensive activities that I would love to do one (or many) times these next few months. I love the idea of starting this tradition now and then eventually…

One of our summer manifesto goals was to grill a pizza. We have this grill pan (it's great for cooking veggies too) and I used about 3/4 of our normal pizza dough recipe to fit the pan. Cheese on the bottom, toppings (onion, pepperoni and green olives) in the middle and red sauce and fresh…

I know. June 1st is not the start of summer if you want to get technical about it. But the thing about summer is "technical" goes out the window. I'm so happy we made it to June. June is when Ellerie turns one. June is when my tomatoes turn red. June is when the days…

Summer is absolutely my favorite season, but part of what's awesome about it is that around mid-September, I am always ready to embrace what comes next. I am looking forward to the return of flannel shirts and big wrap scarves. To waking…

This past weekend was probably the nicest, warmest, sunniest couple days we're going to get this month. I figured it was now or never if we were going to cross "swim in the ocean" off our summer manifesto, so before lunch on Sunday we headed down to the beach. I think Paul (and all the…

While Paul and I were in San Francisco last month, we had dinner and drinks at a great restaurant called Chambers. The coolest thing in there was the BE AMAZING bar sign. The second coolest thing was a cocktail. There were about ten drinks on the menu and the last one was "bartenders choice." I…

Summer is absolutely my favorite. I love the fresh fruit. The colors. The heat. The bonus daylight. I don't know that I feel more inspired in summer, but I absolutely feel like more is possible. I'm thrilled that this season, I'll have Paul home – with no training or deployments on the agenda. We have…
