I’ve been taking it easy this summer, but things are about to ramp up. Here’s what I’m sharing/trying/planning/watching and more this month!
Sharing / Delicious new salads from Canadian Living Essential Salads (I’m kicking off a blog tour August 15!)
Trying / Bounce‘s two new flavours of protein-packed energy balls (review + giveaway this month!) and the delicious goodness at Ottawa’s new Moo Shu Ice Cream and Playa Del Popsical
Playing / With these water balloons that fill themselves (amazing!)
Planning / Wayyyyy overdue birthday parties for Lily and James (they want scavenger hunts at the park)
Starting / To paint the dining room (I didn’t get to it last month but my mom’s visiting in a few weeks and lending a hand)
Finishing / Painting the dining room (and maybe even the baseboards!)
Going / To a preview event celebrating the opening of Ottawa’s first Simons store, to a preview event for the Rideau Centre‘s new 230,000 square-foot expansion, and to a #FarmtoChef tasting event with Egg Farmers of Canada and chef Marysol Foucault of Chez Edgar (of course I’ll share photos and details here on the blog!)
Reading / The Light Between Oceans (have you joined the read-a-long?), Modern Lovers and I Let You Go
Reviewing / The adorable new picture book, Counting with Barefoot Critters (plus a giveaway!) and Dave Eggers’ new Heroes of the Frontier
Wearing / This pencil skirt, tee and ring (to the Simons preview) and this dress (to the Rideau Centre expansion and #FarmtoChef event)
Watching / Suits (I’m on a serious bender) and Beat Bugs (the brand-new Netflix series for kids inspired by Beatles’ music — love this behind-the-scenes!)
Wanting / This adorable tee from Ban.do (because two Herbie happy hearts are better than one!) and these sarcasm pens and soup mugs and trays from Chapters’ new Fall line (I will love them for-evah!)
What are you reading/starting/wearing/watching this month?
I keep hearing about suits, I may have to check it out
The first couple of episodes are a little cheesy but it gets better and better! I love it!
cant wait to hear about your fun events. Gorgeous Joe Fresh Dress
Thanks Linda! Can’t wait to hear more about Rama! Have a great time. 🙂
My goodness, you will be super busy! The month will fly by! Enjoy everything you have going on.
Thanks Bridget! I hope you have a great month too! 🙂
Reading – just finished “After You” by Jojo Moyes – how lovely!
Starting – to kick up the producing tasks of “The Last Resort”
Wearing – bathing suit as much as possible
Watching – looking forward to seeing all the “Lord of The Rings” after just finishing reading the series
Oh I loved After You! Hope you enjoy Lord of the Rings. The movies are so good (and the DVD extras just amazing!) 🙂
This is so much fun and I may do one of these myself! Plus a scavenger hunt bday party sounds pretty awesome!
Thanks Kelly! I got the idea from Bri at designlovefest.com 🙂
Scavanger hunts for birthday parties is awesome! I love your photo!
Thank you! My guys are working on a map of the park already!
Sounds like you have one busy month ahead, not I just relaxing and doing nothing!
Relaxing is good. Especially when it’s so dang hot! I’m much more of a Fall person. 🙂
wow – you will be busy — but it all looks like so much fun! enjoy!! can’t wait to see all your photos, etc! 😀
Can’t wait to show you, Joy! I hope you have lots of fun this month too!! ❤️
