Summer Fridays, Vol 8.
Hello summer friday! Here’s what the weekend looks like.
EATING
An oldie but goodie: my brown butter garden vegetable pasta skillet. And this summer BBQ quinoa salad!
DRINKING
Lemonade frosé for the win! Also craving a gigantic margarita.
MAKING
My strawberry crunch salad while we still have some summer berries. Oh and this lavender vanilla latte ice cream for the weekend. Can’t be beat!
BAKING
These chocolate zucchini cupcakes with avocado fudge frosting. They have vegetables in them!
GRILLING
My caramelized onion grilled focaccia. Oh my word is it heavenly. I want to make it with my grilled spatchcock chicken this weekend.
CRAVING
Salted pretzel s’mores crunch bars. Anything s’mores, really.
LISTENING
To this summer girls trip playlist from a few years ago. Oh my gosh, this is so good!
READING
I’m feeling a little thriller-ish so I’m thinking about starting Such A Quiet Place. Here’s my summer reading list if you’re looking for something good this weekend!
WEARING
Last year I LOVED the freedom moses slides and this year is no different. I’ve never cared for birkenstocks but love these for some reason. They are the perfect outdoor shoes especially when it comes to watering plants and hanging out with the kids. I wear mine nonstop.
SHOPPING
A few things left that I want to pick up at the Nordstrom sale! Definitely have my eye on this blanket, this bag and I’m soooo tempted to get an allsaints leather jacket. Not sure if I will go for it. You can find all of my favorites here.
LOVING
What’s your child’s spiritual age (and yours!)? I love this. Even though I think I will forever feel 17ish, I’ve always felt like my spiritual age is, like, 55. Ha!
BUYING
Um hi, if you want to be insane like me, you could get these adorable pumpkin pillows that sold out instantly last year (I tried to get them last august and they never came back in stock!). As much as I’m not ready for fall AT ALL, I’m making a little exception here for my fall fanatic self.
PACKING
For our michigan vacation soon! I’m a packing nut and work off of lists and basically have everything almost ready to go. But this year it feels like we have to take ten million things because of the baby! My go-to packing bag for basically, well, everywhere is my large mz wallace tote. It fits ALL THE THINGS. I also love the dagne dover totes because they are neoprene and they last forever. I’ve had both of those for ages. A few things I’m taking for the baby that are game changers too: the guava travel crib with the bassinet attachment, the fisher price on the go baby dome and the baby bjorn bouncer (have used it since max & love it!). Should I do a (roadtrip) travel essentials post?!

i love that playlist so much! and yes, please share your road trip essentials. do you have any snack recipes that you make for the car ride? we are driving up to new england next week and taking the ferry to martha’s vineyard and i need alllll the ideas for beach/road trip snacks.
YES! Please do a roadtrip essentials post! We are going away (northern MI actually!) for a weekend for the first time with our 3 year old and I have been doing all the research but I want to make sure I have everything. I would LOVE to hear what you bring!
Have so much fun in Michigan! Went to the beach for the first time with our 7 month old and took the Guava Family travel crib. So easy to set up and she slept as well as at home! Would love to see a post with your other travel essentials!
Ha ha, I’m insane like you, I tried to order the pumpkin pillows online last year too (sold out), found the two largest ones in a store two hours away and drove to get them! I ordered the small one this year, so my collection is complete, they are very cute in person!!
I’m obsessed with your Strawberry Crunch salad, it’s my favorite, I live in California, and local strawberries are abundant this time of year.
Good luck getting packed for your vacation:)
Those pillows are SO cute! Interestingly enough, I have some about the same size and they came from a kit. I made them several years ago – they’re crocheted and have the stem and leaves also. They really would be simple to make from a heavy fleece or knitted product. Hope you’re able to order these from Pottery Barn though…
