Broad stripes and bright stars

We kicked off the holiday weekend with some all-American minor league baseball, followed by a top-notch fireworks display. There may have also been a hot dog eating competition, wherein two gentlemen tied for first place by eating eleven hot dogs in five minutes.

It was 95 degrees in the stands, but what's a southern summer without a near heatstroke experience?

This weekend, I'm looking forward to swimming in the river, a rehearsal dinner BBQ, and a wedding celebration.

Summer is here; we must all act accordingly.

Happy Fourth of July!

Golden hour

Happy weekend! Go and sip on something cold. :)

It was a relaxing weekend. After our camping trip, it felt great to operate without an itinerary, and do some things around the house. (Although, I still didn't manage to weed the garden).

On Sunday, I went to a bridal shower for my dear friend Lindsey, who is getting married in July. The spread was delectable; Emily made everything herself! We ate tiny sandwiches and shared our best relationship advice.

Among the advice that was shared, were these tidbits:

- Don't sweat the small stuff.
- Go to bed angry.
- Stay up and fight!

A few other noteables, unrelated to relationship advice -

What all the weeks of your life look like.

On being chill. (I really loved this piece). 

Crispy Kale Pizza. I made this last week, on a random weeknight when I was too busy and/or tired to be particularly inventive with supper.... and it is SO good!

Come to think of it, maybe making your person a delicious pizza is actually good relationship advice.
