my life this week ( with a cherry on top!)

Picked a bowl of these pretty red berries yesterday. Mmmmm. Don't they look so delicious?

Sorry for the lack of blogging the past week but my life has been sooo full. I became an Auntie again, not once but twice!! Two of the sweetest little boys you ever did see! Life has been full of kissing those sweet faces and taking care of their mommies. I'm loving and savoring every moment of it. Makes me want a little baby that I can keep all to myself :) I promise I'll post a picture of their sweet faces soon.

Hope your week is simply lovely ~ don't forget to enjoy every moment of it!

ohhh summer! I'm so happy you've arrived. I'm looking forward to the joys that you bring. The long hot days, cool evenings, days spent at the lake, cool refreshing smoothies, early morning walks, evening bike rides, summer freckles wayside flowers, fresh produce, star gazing, pretty dresses, bare feet and little fireflies that twinkle all night long.

You and I are going to have a splendid time, and I'm going to enjoy every single moment.

sweet treat

So, I read somewhere online something about adding Izze to your ice cream. I've been dying to try it ever since. Today I got my chance and ohhh my! was it SO good! If you've ever had a root beer float, it's along those lines, but a tangy citric flavor instead. And that combined with the sweet ice cream is just so delicious! Just add your favorite flavor Izze ( I used Sparkling Mandarin) to some vanilla ice cream, and ta da! you have a summer treat! ♥

(Goodness. Those Izze bottles are so cute! I could photograph them all day! )
