FRIDAY FAVORITES...WATER EDITION

It was a very sweet summer week! Temps are finally cooling down for the weekend and Even my Dental Check-Up went smoothly! As we swing into August, my hope is that you’re savoring all Summer still has to offer.


1. Kayaking Day

Instead of doing a whole post on our summer vacation, I’m adding in bits and pieces to Friday favorites! Today I share a kayaking day on the trip! Thank goodness that by Friday, the rain had finally broke after 2 days and we were super excited to do one of our favorite kayaking adventures. Northern Michigan is absolutely abundant and fabulous Lakes! Lower Herring Lakes is one of our favorite because what appears as a lake, soon turns into a little pine tree filled inlet that dumped out in the beautiful lake Michigan! The search for Petoskey stones and walking along the beach is so fun! It’s in chanting and there’s hardly ever anybody there! The truck back was pushing against waves and wind, and it was quite the work out but well worth it!




2. Flower Fields and Sweet Walks

I just love fun little adventures. Mom and I went to a local farm where it's you cut flowers! They had sunflowers; just look at the varieties, zinnias and cosmos. The sweet owner was kind enough to take this picture of mom and I but look at my silly hat, LOL! And most of the time I walk in my neighborhood, so it was nice to go back to moms and go for a walk in her neighborhood as well!



One of our local cities is also really revitalizing its area and I especially love the Riverwalk. My dear friend Shelby and I had a coffee date and great walk and talk. And today I am going on another sweet walk with a friend! Walking with someone else just makes the time go so much faster!

4. Tankini and Cover Up

On Wednesday, I shared with you some fabulous outfits from White House Black market. Some of you might not know that they also have amazing swimwear and coverups! The fit is so fabulous of all these items and will make you feel confident. I got a simple black tankini top in a halter style which is always flattering and the Cover-Up with the sweet black tassels, tropical print complete with a leopard on it is so pretty. (on sale items!!)

NATURE

Coral Creme Drop Phlox

These perennials are some of my favorites for two reasons, the color and the smell, it’s absolutely delightful!

Just look how my bubble gum petunias are cascading along the stairs.

The moonflowers finally bloomed. They only bloom once and it’s in the evening and at night, they’re part of the morning glory family

MEMES



HAPPY SUMMER WEEKEND

  12. Kayaking sounds like fun but also very hard. But I think it must be fantastic to spend time on the water. Have a great weekend.

  14. Oh those flowers are just so beautiful! We have some sunflower fields about 45 minutes away and I thought about going this year, but I think we've missed the boat. They wither earlier in the year here since it's so darn hot!

  15. Water fun is great all year long! We really need to go down the river here: we've talked about it all summer long so hopefully this weekend is the day: it is a little cooler and I think we convinced the boys. For some reason they don't love it!
