Sharing Time: Happy Summer!

 (+ + +)

We have August coming right up this Saturday (tomorrow), but before it gets here we have one magical summer moment to look forward to tonight... the blue moon!

Here's a quick poem to get you in a blue moon mood:

"But once in a while the odd thing happens. Once in a while the dream comes true. And the whole pattern of life is altered. Once in a while the moon turns blue." - WH Auden

We want to do something fun for the blue moon, but we haven't decided what yet. What I really want to do is to grill up some good food, sit outside by our fire pit, and try to beat Mike at backgammon... because it's only once in a blue moon where I can actually beat him!

Since it's been a while, here's some summer goodness worth sharing:

I found this simple assembly recipe on the Trader Joe's blog,

and decided I needed to give it a try so I went and bought all the ingredients -

well, these little ice-cream sandwiches are DELICIOUS!!!

I love this picture, and this braid... her blog shares some pretty awesome hair tutorials.

I searched and searched for the classic pop mold this summer,
and found what I was looking for at Williams-Sonoma.
(they are even on sale right now!)
(ps. check out the popsicle ideas on this pinterest board... yum!)

 This summer has been the summer of friends buying houses,

so I have had my eyes peeled for good housewarming presents.

I love these simple tablecloths from Ikea.

And that's all for now, have a good weekend!!!!
