Summer Fridays, Vol 2.
Back for round two of summer fridays! Here’s what’s happening this weekend.
EATING
My crispy pesto smashed potatoes. This blackened chicken watermelon salad. And my fresh green bean salad! It’s such a huge fave. Oh and roasted shrimp tacos!
DRINKING
A cherry lime gin and tonic. I also can’t stop thinking about my cucumber spritzers.
MAKING
Strawberry avocado salad. And my chilled queso. It’s the perfect pool snack.
BAKING
Still fabulous strawberry season over here. Make my pound cake with strawberry icing or this peanut butter and jelly crumble.
CRAVING
No churn coffee oreo ice cream. Always. No comparison!
GRILLING
This skirt steak with avocado pesto. It’s so good. And my buffalo chicken chopped salad too!
READING
Started summer romance last night and I am LOVING it. It’s one I’ve been waiting for all year. Here’s my summer reading list if you need some books!
LISTENING
To my summer country 2024 playlist!! I make one of these every summer and the kids love it, I love it and we listen to it outside constantly.
LOVING
The flat round claw clip has been life changing – especially when driving. Why have these not existed until now?! I also still sing the praises of the kitsch satin pillow scrunchies. It is giant and I love it. I have so much less breakage with my hair now. Oh and while we’re talking about hair, I just got this wow xtra large voluminizer. I love the wow dreamcoat spray so much and use it weekly.
WEARING
I have been LIVING in these tank tops. I am obsessed. I have the black, white and hot pink colorways. I want just about every other color too. Now that it’s full blown summer, I’m also living in these larroude jelly flip flops. They are pricey (but nothing like the designer ones!) but so comfortable. They remind me of back when I found tory burch miller flip flops. Not only are these so comfortable, they are timeless and classic – plus can be dressed up and down. They also don’t feel “jelly” at all.
BUYING
We got new bedding for the first time in a million years. I got a different shade of our favorite sheets – I have bought these multiple times. They are the best and so soft. I have tried some other dupe versions of them, but they don’t hold up.
SHARING
A little father’s day gift guide right here! Lots of our favorites and things that Eddie loves.

If you love the flat claw clip, you’ll probably love french pins, too! I have the Kristen Ess two-pack from Amazon and they held my long thick hair SO much better than even the best claw clips, and so comfy for lying down/driving/etc. Even wore for some light workouts sometimes, they’re that secure.
And then I chopped my hair into a bob for summer so my french pins and claw clips are all hibernating now!
I love these summer Friday posts! I look forward to them all week. Thanks for sharing :)
