Well, I have a cat. Seriously I love animals, but I DO NOT want them in my house!

I love Italy. Who doesn’t, right? My family actually traveled there when my parents got remarried so it is very special to me.

I’m a Summer girl all the way!! I love the sunshine, I love swimming, I love getting a little tan, BBQ’s, homemade ice cream, playing outside all day, road trips…pretty much everything about summer.

My family!

Jack- Up with the sunrise. Not by choice. Complaining that he's not comfy and mad because I won't turn on the tv before school. Hello Monday!

A tiny market.

Little House Green Grocery. A tiny market inside my neighborhood with fresh local vegetables, homemade soups, and handmade soaps and deodorants. A checkered black and white floor with two tiny isles of deliciousness. Freshly baked bread and friendly faces. I can't get over how cute this little piece of heaven is! Right in my neighborhood! It transports you back in time. Bellevue, you are my absolute favorite!

Home Of The Brave.

We have had the craziest holiday weekend. We have been on the go since Thursday with 3 cookouts, pool time, lots of awesome food, 2,000 games of cornhole, tried 5 new beers, went barefoot every day, caught lightning bugs, had a coke float, ate delicious watermelon, stayed up way too late, woke up way too early, and loved all of it. This is one of the best weekends we've had in a long time!
