…and now, it’s already August 7th.
I’ve been spending a lot less time writing and posting on here due to work, spending more time reading (Shauna Niequist’s Cold Tangerines and Present Over Perfect & Rhonde Byrne’s The Secret) and trying to keep up with everything else going on.
I closed out May by working out, snapchatting and stuffing my face with Christina (nothing has changed)…
Christina and I met when we lived in Charleston and both found our way back home to New England.…and celebrating Ashley’s birthday with a night out and Prosecco Cake Pops!
Strawberry cake & frosting both made with Cupcake Vineyards Prosecco
June kicked off with seeing Fabolous and Jadakiss at Fabolous (yes, I think I am still in high school).
Shortly after, I had dinner with my Aunt and this happened…
In my defense, when my Aunt’s boyfriend got this same dish, it was in a shallow bowl not on a plate. This was a disaster waiting to happen. At least if I was involved.
Took a little while for the weather and my schedule to align, but made it to the beach…
Second Beach in Middletown, RI.
Even more challenging to align… good weather, schedules and GREAT company, but we made it to The Secret Garden Champagne Bar at The Ocean House…
And if that wasn’t enough, why not stop for ice cream on the way home…
Mike’s Ice Truck in Providence, RI.
What else happened in June? A whole lot of work…Had to take a quick trip down to good ole Spartanburg, headed up to Nashua, NH and over to Northampton, MA. Who knows what else? After all, June must’ve only lasted about 2 seconds 😉
Then, it was 4th of July and naturally I needed to make these for the “kids”…
Blue velvet cake, Ghiaradelli white chocolate + red sprinkles = So Festive. So basic.
Made it to the beach AGAIN and had my first Del’s Lemonade in years.
I’ve never read the About Us page on their website. I demand that any Rhode Islander does immediately if you haven’t either.
Then, I found myself in Michigan doing important things like eating nitrogen ice cream, mini doughnuts and donut ice cream cones…
Milkster Creamery, Bonefish Grill (who would’ve thought?!) & The Donut Bar.
Oh, last, but not least…I spent a few hours on a Monday at the DMV and lived to tell it…
More soon…sooner rather than too much later this time
