Happy Weekend!!
This week behind the scenes on Instagram is full of images celebrating my favorite season and month! I hope you are celebrating as well and will come on over and follow along on Instagram!
This time of year people start talking about the end of summer and how they are ready for the sweaters and scarfs of fall…
Me? I’m trying to hang on to every bit of summertime. I just love everything about this season- morning coffee on the porch, neighborhood bbq’s with fresh corn, dips in the lake and sandy toes from the day at the beach.⚓️
So while I appreciate every season and will get on board when autumn arrives, right now I am happily savoring summer.☀️

I have to admit, the first time I heard about a spiked Agua Fresca I was watching Shahs of Sunset on BRAVO, yes it’s true. #bravoholic
Reza had just arrived at MJ’s house and she greeted him with an Agua Fresca spiked with Tequilla. If you are a fan of the show you can image it was most likely heavy spiked however, it looked refreshing, super pretty and sounded exactly like something I would love to offer my guests this summer when they stop by.
My version has watermelon + basil and is just as tasty as it is pretty.
Making your own is easier than you think learn how here.
{ps @rezafarahan if you are reading this, you are always welcome to knock on my door for a cocktail… just saying}.

Apparently I was too busy reading to realize it was #nationalbookloversday yesterday!
I’m taking the opportunity to post the cover of my own book for those of you who are new around here and may not know about it!

An Appealing Plan : A Year of Everyday Celebrations was written with my goal of encouraging everyone to celebrate everyday. It’s part cookbook, part decorating, with menu and tablescape ideas for every season! .
I hope you will enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it!

“Don’t count the days, make the days count.”
It’s a rainy Monday here which makes me want to stay in bed and watch movies under the covers… But not today. My to-do list is long and I need to get them all crossed off early this week. Productivity is a key word for me this month so please pass the coffee. ☕️
What’s getting you motivated today?

Missing this two little faces on #nationalfriendshipday !
What a great time I had visiting with them recently. We hardly left the house all week {or even the pool for that matter}. ☀️Time with friends and family is so important our souls. It nourishes me and gives me memories to last until the next visit.
In the comments, Tag a friend you are thinking about today and wish them a happy #friendshipday2016
