Summer Finds

  I'm so ready for summer. I know summer is well on its way for most of you, you might even be basking in the sun, in a hammock, on a beach right now... But I'm spending my summer in WA and there's been about 3 summer worthy days since I've been here! It's just wrong! I can't complain too much though because I'm sitting next to the window listening to the rain as I type this & the sounds/smell of rain has always been on my list of favorite things. Maybe if all I think about is summer, it will start happening!!  So this week on SF we are featuring all our fav Summer Finds & some guest bloggers willing to share their summer tips! 

First thing Monday is Jaymie ! This girl can have green hair, be wearing to different shoes and a mumu and still look good! And then the next day, everyone would be copying her! Not that I've ever seen her in a mumu;)  But I do know she loves to dress up & so do her nieces... aren't they cute? What a fun Aunt! We all love this girl & I know you will too!... Thanks Jaymie for bloggin with us!

Float On

The only thing about having a community pool is that I'd feel guilty if I showed up with one of these.  Not because it would take up the whole pool but because there's no way I'd want to share;) The King Kai Pool Float is available our affiliate Amazon:)

Ice for the hot

When summer sun gets the better of you, try making your own Aloe Ice... Just make sure you tell your husband... so he doesn't use them in his cup to cool off his Mtn. Dew;)

I'm weak

I think everything needs a little strawberries and whipped cream, so naturally I'm a fan of Angel Food Cake and French toast;) Then I saw the mother load on Pinterest the other day. Angel Food Cake French Toast! Let's just say this is why my scale isn't letting me lose that baby weight. But at least I enjoyed every last bit of it;)... Ignore the not so cute plate... it was still delish;)

Directions.
1. Slice angel food cake into triangles.
2. Dip into egg mixture. I use eggs, milk, cinnamon & vanilla.
3. Cook in pan on medium heat until golden. Make sure you flip them repeatedly so they don't burn.
4. Top with fresh strawberries, blueberries & whipped cream.. a lil powered sugar..
5. Eat. Enjoy. And only share if you want;)

Look Mom, I'm Grandpa

Ok, so my Dad rocks a stash... He's had it as long as I can remember, I don't even think about it much. He wouldn't be the same without it! My kids however just don't understand why I don't find it hilarious. The other night my son came out of the bathroom and said, "Look Mom, I'm Grandpa!" I'll admit, I laughed a little:) But please don't use my eye liner... These are much better:)
