Family Photos: Lazy Cats! Summer Shopping! Mini Ms. Bear’s Kitchen!

As promised, I give you more photographic proof of our summer shenanigans, which have been quite relaxing, actually. Something tells me that we’ve been hanging around the cats too much — something tells me their laziness is rubbing off on us. Someone’s enjoying the morning sunshine…

And shopping! Oh, how I do love going on my classic Target trips. Yesterday, the sun was shining and it was the perfect summer day to take in a little retail therapy. Of course, all the summer essentials were out in full force. It made me feel like I was on the beach just strolling up and down the aisles of Five Below*

Some fun reading for the summer in the form of my favorite magazines…

A trip to my old haunt (my old college library!) to get some work done…

Lots of good summer eats, courtesy of Ms. Bear’s Kitchen. Two of my recent favorites: A summer fruit salad medley and a cucumber and tomato salad. The dressing on the cucumber salad was delicious!!

And lots of summer fun, like Yahtzee and, more recently, rummy! I’m on a rummy winning streak right now, so cross your fingers that it continues!

…and the sun burning has begun! #NoFilter #Summertime

But…danger, danger! My mom is trying to introduce at least some semblance of order into our lives. Being a rather obsessive planner, she came up with this chart system. In the words of Miranda Sings, “Are you kidding me…?”

I’m going to do my best and stand my ground on her War on Fun. Are you with me, friends? I figure we’re stronger together. C’mon, you know you’re dying to relax too, so don’t try to deny it any longer! Here’s to lots of fun and relaxation!! xoxo

*OMG, I’m not the only one obsessed with this store, right?
