My son heads back to school tomorrow. It has been a wonderfully laid back last two months but we are all ready to step back into the daily routines of school-life. I have been neglecting my yard as a whole this summer in order to focus on other parts of my life. But earlier in the season I did plant a jasmine which is now happily making its way up a defunct utility pole outside my kitchen window…
And I did get my vegetable garden planted…
It was my first time growing lemon cucumbers…
I also gave our front entry a little facelift. I painted the front door a new shade and changed our house numbers to these Asbury house tiles from Schoolhouse Electric that are ever so charming on my little 1940s house…
Another summer highlight was making this gorgeous merengue (my first ever!)…
Which was used to make this gorgeous pavlova which we shared with our neighbors. Nigella Lawson is an excellent guide if you’d like to try it…
My husband finished his Remember You Must still life series which I think is just incredible…
I can’t wait to have one of our own at home…
This basic Baggu horizontal duck bag became my go-to bag all summer long…
And my husband gave me these Nike Blazer Low ‘77 Jumbo sneakers for my birthday which are très chic!
I found and love this whole list from 37 signals…
Here’s to getting back in the groove.
