One of the things that was waiting for me upon our return from the Boston area last Thursday was a book I had requested from the library: People’s Pops: 55 Recipes for Ice Pops, Shave Ice, and Boozy Pops from Brooklyn’s Coolest Pop Shop Nearly all of the recipes in this book follow a formula: fresh […]

In theory I am an open-windows kind of girl. I love falling asleep next to one, waking up next to one, going about my day feeling the cross breeze throughout the house… if it were practical, I would live with the windows wide open all day, every day throughout the summer. In practice, though, it […]

Eren’s post on the colors of Coastal Maine struck a chord with me. With every year I fall more and more in love with the colors of the Jersey Shore. The sandy beiges, the blues of the sea and sky… Yummy. But I remember last May, after spending five days in Ocean City, I was […]

School let out for the summer a week ago today. Sometimes I think we’ve done nothing in that time but find more and more ways to get wet. Hose, lake, pool, sprinkler. I haven’t been posting much, lest my keyboard get soaked 😀

I originally posted about these slushy, delicious fruity drinks back in 2007. Since then, I’ve made a few tiny changes (and taken some much nicer pictures, if we’re being honest here) and thought it was worth an update.

I think I’ve formed an unnatural attachment to our Summer napkins. I don’t know if it’s the unseasonably hot weather of the past week, the eager anticipation of the summer after a particularly cold and wet winter, or just me being crazy, but I’ve been daydreaming again. I switch out our cloth kitchen napkins every […]

Skirt weather has arrived, and oh, how I have missed it! I didn’t realize quite how much until I spent yesterday twirling around in my favorite a-line. Skirt-wearing brings a sort of effervescence with it that I find hard to capture in other ways. I suppose it’s just that it makes me feel “girly,” which […]

Several times in the last few days I’ve said “this month,” when referring to things we’d actually done in August. I couldn’t seem to wrap my brain around it being September yet. I mean, really. September? Already? Hmmm. Maybe so… We’ve got (slightly hail-damaged) Honeycrisp apples, fresh off the tree. I made applesauce today. Tomorrow, […]

Oh, August. What am I going to with you? Every year it’s the same thing: I see that precious summertime is slipping away and I panic. During the month of July I pass my afternoons quietly lounging in the back yard with the kids and forgetting the art of budgeting my time. I let my […]

I don’t know why it took me so long to do a little Summer entertaining, but I suspect it won’t be so long before I do it again.
