+ We visited family in Marietta last weekend + Nic & I are currently planning our one + only trip of the summer – for an overnight stay there to go back and explore more of this beautiful, historic Ohio river town. I can’t wait to share more with you!

+ Just received this monogrammed leather camera strap (that comes in several pretty colors) for my camera. I can’t believe it took me YEARS to finally get a camera strap. Wow! But I love it – it’s comfy, pretty, and functional!

+ Dying to try to this summer cocktail recipe! Looks so simple and SO delicious! Perfect for a hot afternoon!

+ Ava + I have been having so much fun with these soft ABC “flashcards.” They don’t feel like flashcards and they don’t look like them either! But we’ve been using them to arrange the letters to spell and read basic words. They are very, very fun and a new fave around here! Plus, they’re Ellie-proof (unbendable!!!) Highly recommend! 🙂

+ Happy 4th of July! I hope you have a wonderful holiday weekend!
