Finally the nice, hot summer air is here! Itās time to get outside, shed the layers and enjoy the sun! Hereās my picks for a successful summer full of fun!
Ā
1.) New specs! Of course we need new sunglasses for outside.
I want these playful and adorable snow white style frames for my face:

2.) Pool accessories! We are so privileged to live in a complex with an outdoor pool and we certainly utilize it over the summer months.
I can see myself enjoying thisĀ GoPong GoFloats Giant Flamingo PartyTube Inflatable Raft and Float in Style ā that is if I can ever get my daughter off of it. Itās been claimed as hers. I might ahve to buy a second one and float along beside her. Or ahead of her.

Donāt forget the cup holders,Ā GoPong Floating Flamingo Drink Holder, 3-Pack.Ā

3.) Summer Reads!
Whether Iām chilling on the balcony, riding shotgun in the car, floating along in the pink flamingo or catching some rays pool side, books are a necessity.
My reading picks for this year are:
But Did you Die? Setting the Parenting Bar Low
This nook is a collection of essays from some people I know and some people I have yet to meet about parenting mishaps and very wise wisdom they are imparting onto others.
Total disclaimer, I was sent a pre-release copy by Mike Cruse of Papa Does Preach, one of the authors in this book.
Ā
The Girl On The Train
Itās common place for the book to be better than the movie. This is certainly no exception!Ā This is a curious novel told by three different voices (all women) about three men ā two violent ones and a mild mannered one. All three women are deplorable, they drink too much (especially the main narrative), the are insulted, dismissed, battered, and one of them is even murdered. But you have to wait the middle of the book to get to the murder. There is little action, but a lot of psychology. Nothing comes out as expected in this novel. But it works. You get completely involved in the maze of the three intertwined voices who say the story.
Ā
Why Not Me?
Mindy Kaling, if you are reading this, you are my ride or die gal and I am not a weird stalker! I swear! Sheās just so damn honest and if you appreciate someone who can share their anxieties along side their glamour this book is for you.
Ā
4.) A Gorgeous Maxi Dress!
I fell in love with this belted scarf-print knit maxi dress from Dressbarn in Orlando. It looks great for lots of occasions, versatile for BBQās, dance recitals and drink dates!
95% polyester and 5% spandex, itās machine washable, YAY! I hang mine to dry over a rack though. At $52.00 itās a great price to look this good.
Find it at Dressbarn in the USA or online here: https://www.dressbarn.com/detail/belted-scarf-print-knit-maxi-dress/103110405/911

Iām so ready for summer! Love the white sunglasses, they are so cute. I might have to get a pair. Iām also looking for some new summer books, so I will look into your suggestions.
Awesome! Thanks Liz!
Summer is one of my favorite seasons! I love the long days and the cool summer nights. I have to admit Iāve been wanting to get one of those floats, and I didnāt know there were cup holders to match. So cute! Also, Iāve been on the lookout for a maxi dress that I love for the longest time! Maybe this will be the summer that I find one.
Cup holders are essential!
