Around here we’ve been making special excursions to get summer treats, mainly of the snowy ice and ice cream variety. To tell you the truth I was never crazy about ice cream until I tasted the salted caramel ice cream at Bennett’s. Omigosh.

Around here, theses two finally got their very own library cards.

Around here, we are celebrating the girls passing their Level I swim class. Hooray!

Around here, we’re getting dressed up and going out on date nights. Eric and I managed to go out on TWO of them this summer, that’s totally a record for us. Also, who else is a fan of the moscow mule?

Around here this past weekend I was out and about in Pasadena. I got to play the role of fairy for Becky Higgin’s Hide and Seek (where she hides a Project Life Kit, posts clues via social media and whoever finds it gets to keep it). I ended up hiding it between a cluster of flower pots at One Colorado and was amazed at how quickly it was found. I was still here emailing with Becky and instagramming (I’m a slow instagrammer, just ask Peppermint lol) when someone found it.

Around here I can’t believe that our summer is officially over. The girls start school on Wednesday and I’m totally not ready.
