summer fridays

Happy summer friday! Here’s what’s happening this weekend.

EATING

My buffalo smashed cucumber salad. And grilled chicken caprese pasta salad. Ooooh and root beer pulled pork. Finally, grilled chicken orzo salad!

DRINKING

Strawberry summer water. And frozen gin & tonics!

MAKING

A ton of stuff for this weekend. 48 recipes for father’s day right here! Oh oh plus my hot honey chili crunch dip! And jarlsberg cheese dip.

BAKING

Aperol spritz snack cake! And my gruyere herb slab biscuits!

CRAVING

My ricotta pancakes with salted blueberry butter. YUM.

GRILLING

The perfect slider bar. My pimento cheese grilled chicken sandwiches! This chimichurri quinoa bowl.

LISTENING

To this father’s day playlist! It’s a good one.

READING

Swan Song!!! I mean… it feels like a full circle moment. P.S. huge reading list right here.

WEARING

CRZ yoga does it again… their skirts are SO good. I love this pleated tennis one, this a line golf skirt and I even got the ruffled one! And even though I hate shorts I am so tempted to try one of these lightweight shorts/shirt sets!

LOVING

My favorite things to gift on father’s day? Polarized sunglasses, massage guns and backpack coolers. Boring, predictable but all so useful and practical! I have a huge list of all my favorite father’s day gifts here.

SHOPPING

Okay so Jordan’s official birthday was yesterday and as the third child, we have just about every toy he would be interested in! In a moment of utter panic I ordered the pony cycle and OH MY WORD was that a fabulous idea. He absolutely LOVES it. I love that it’s a bike (cycle… duh) and not motorized. He has had so much fun and adores it. We also set up this waterfall wall for him on our deck and he was in heaven! Max and Emilia love that too.

CELEBRATING

Jordan’s third birthday party tonight!! I have NO IDEA how on earth he is three years old. I feel like I had him five minutes ago. How is this possible?! Anyhoo, we have a truck with lots of construction vehicles so that is the most important! Today is also my mom’s birthday! And father’s day this weekend. And US Open weekend! SO many good eats coming up.
