We're heading on our yearly summer family vacation to Martha's Vineyard next week so I have G&T's on my mind. My dad always makes one for each of us as a pre-dinner cocktail and it brings back memories of many summers past! I never think to make one for myself but I was at a party recently and they were serving them with muddled (I think?) cucumbers and it made me want to make this classic summer cocktail in a few fun ways.
Ok guys. Big news. BIG. NEWS. Chappywrap is having a site-wide warehouse sale with discounts up to 40% off and every single blanket is on sale. And all orders over $150 ship free.
Included in the sale is the Lemon Stripes Collection! The Amalfi (lemons) is officially sold out for good but you can still snag a Hanover (floral, my personal favorite) or a Westport for 25% off.
We have T-minus three weeks until Amalia's big Kindergarten debut. I hold back tears daily about this fact while she jumps off the walls with excitement. It's fine. I'm fine (wah).
What does get me all jazzed up, however, is the back to school shopping. Oh the sweet smell of new pencils, the look of a fresh backpack that will stay fresh for all of 3 days, and bright white sneakers.
Hello! It's Friday! And my niece Helen is coming for a slumber party with her auntie! The news from Kansas gave me a small glimmer of hope for our country's political future for the first time in a long time. And I feel happy today.
Part of that is partly due to the fact that I had acupuncture with my friend Sarah for the first time in months.
