Friday Favorites

We are so close to summer I can feel it! The pool is open, which means I am one happy girl! 😉 We have a busy weekend! I hope you have a great weekend everyone! 🙂

One.

One of my best friends just had her baby! I can’t wait to snuggle little Caroline so soon! She’s beautiful!

Two.How cute are these chocolate bars for graduation or any gift?!

Three.

I have been doing this arm workout for a few years and love it. My sister and I both did this workout the other day (which was the perfect motivation since I took some time off). I thought I’d share it because it’s simple, works like a charm, and isn’t time consuming!

Four.

Fun In The Sun

,

One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. Seven. Eight. Nine. Ten. Eleven. Twelve.

So many signs of summer are occurring over here: Our pool opening. Temps hitting 90 degrees today. Stocking up on sunscreen. Flip flops making an appearance on the daily. Dreaming up a sunny vacay (little to Eric’s knowledge)! Swimsuit’s in every store and online. The last one sometimes seems like such a fun experience and other times makes me clench my teeth. It’s a touchy but oh so fun subject all in one. My latest love? The one piece swimsuit. Although I love a classic black suit, the fun patterns always catch my eye too. Recommendations? Thoughts? What are some of your favorites?

I Scream, You Scream…

,

I have this thing where I pretty consistently ask Eric for a bite of whatever he is eating. After it happening time after time, we made a deal that as long as it’s not the last few bites, I can ask for another. 😉 I’m also guilty of saying I’m not hungry and then asking for a bite of what is on his plate. Oops. Therefore, for so many reasons this spoon screamed my name and is just the cutest! Don’t worry though, I made plenty of my Coffee Ice Cream for us to each have our own bowl because I knew I would love it. It really is the best of both worlds: Coffee and ice cream mixed together fora creamy and light texture that your family will love too! I think the spoons add a fun touch too and may even make it taste better. 😉

You can buy them here and here!

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup + 2 Tbsp sugar
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup espresso, chilled

What to do:

In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Whisk thoroughly. Refrigerate at least one to two hours. Follow the directions of your ice cream maker to freeze the blended ingredients.

Once the ice cream has finished thickening, pour it into an airtight freezer safe container. Place in freezer for 2 hours or until desired consistency.

Remove from freezer 10 minutes before ready for serving. Scoop and serve! ☺️ Enjoy!

I’m the first to admit I’m not a light packer for vacations. I will say though, I have gotten better narrowing down things I really need/want to take on the trip! We are taking an 11 day trip this summer across the pond and this gave me a jump start to thinking what I’ll be taking. I always, always, always make a list of everything I will be taking. (Even the nitty gritty). I also really like to take pieces that I can mix and match with multiple outfits. I’ll be taking some of my favorite staple jewelry and my Market Tote as my carry on! Here are some of my other essentials that were easy to throw on the list! What are some of your things you can’t leave the house without?!
