Some of our summer favorites......
Flashy new iPhone cover



Kiwi Lemonade from Charley's Grilled Subs
Just different enough to make it a special treat.....very refreshing!

New nail color-Stormy (dark gray) by Revlon

Where the Red Fern Grows
Our favorite family out loud read this summer
(Very hard to read without crying!)

Bubble Gum flavored shaved ice from Hoagie's (120th & Blondo-for those in the area)
Shaved ice is NOTHING like a snow cone
but we will debate that in an upcoming blog post!

New neighbors and friends
Just the right age for my kids to have a lot of fun with this summer!

and last but not least

New artwork to decorate my Stonehenge Greige (gray) walls
The artists worked cheap.....supplies, room and board only!
