Sweet, Sweet Summer

As we are in the dead of Summer here in Dallas, I have to think of the positives about this unbearable heat. Otherwise, I would stay inside and not come out until October. Or November. OR I would just purchase a one way ticket to a better climate.

Splash Parks
We LOVE playing in these parks all over town. You don't have to worry about life jackets, the deep end of the pool or constantly having to hold your little one.

Fresh Fruit
Blueberries. Cantaloupe. Watermelon. Strawberries. Our family eats tons and tons of fresh produce year round, but especially in the summer when you can get huge containers of blueberries for $1.50 and cantaloupe melons for $.50.
Pinot Grigio

Wine is my beverage of choice and there is nothing better than a crisp glass of pinot on a hot evening. Drop in a couple of frozen berries and it is delish.

Summer Smells
Do you switch your perfume/lotion in the summer? I love to wear light and airy scents in the summer.... gardenia is my favorite. And my allergies may hate the smell of fresh cut grass, but I love to take in that scent.

Storms
The grass looks greener. The air smells sweeter. And my veggies and herbs love it.

Cajun Shrimp
My toes are always painted with OPI Cajun Shrimp in the summer. It is a great coral color that goes with everything. It is kind of ironic that I am deathly allergic to shrimp, yet it is my favorite color.

What are you loving this summer?
