Hey Friends,
Is it hot where you are? Whew, we’ve been walking early every morning to avoid the heat. Even with the pool, it’s hard to be outside.

Adventures Off The Dirt Road
Why Didn’t I Think of That?
There are so many wonderful blog posts each week, and I’m sharing some of my favorites with you today.
There are so many creative ideas, and I’m always asking myself, “Why didn’t I think of that”? LOL
- Learn when to cut flowers for longer vase life.
- KariAnne did such a great job updating her mother’s coastal bedroom. It looks amazing.
Coming This Week – Christmas In July
I know it’s mid-summer and hot as can be! But while you stay indoors to beat the heat, you can start planning your Christmas decorations. Many companies have Christmas in July sales, so you can pick up new decorations for less. Or, if you are like me, you can start to create your own decorations.
Thrift Stores will soon be adding all the second-hand Christmas decorations to their shops, and you can be ready with your wish list.
So stay tuned because this week will be dedicated to all things Christmas. I hope you get some inspiring ideas.
What’s in my Cart
First, check out the latest fashion finds.
- I love these cute lace-hem pants that look just like Anthropologie’s for a fraction of the cost.
- The black tee is such a great fit, and I already have it in 3 colors.
- I’ve worn these denim jorts (or bermuda shorts, still unsure what to call them-LOL) all summer with so many different tops. This cute trapize tee is so cool and stylish.
Here are some other items that I’ve added to my cart.
- This jacket is so good-looking for the price. Can’t wait for cooler weather to wear it.
- Did you know that Nordstrom is having a big Anniversary Sale – Click here for all the great deals. I’ve already got several items in my cart.
- I got this necklace there earlier this summer, and I LOVE it. It’s a great conversation piece.
- And I’m obsessed with these brown leather sandals, and they are on sale now!
- I’m starting to add items for our upcoming cruise to Greece, Italy & Spain. I’m loving this travel set.
- And these New Balance sneakers look so good with the travel set.
I’ll be adding more items for the trip as we get closer to the travel date.
I hope you have a blessed week!
