On the Coffee Table

1.  I love my new flash.  Nikkon Speedlight SB-800
2.  I saw this lip gloss at Target that I used to wear when I was younger.  I am obsessed with how it smells...exactly like vanilla frosting.  Lip Smacker, vanilla frosting
3.  This summer I am loving Coco Rave bathing suits.  They are so comfortable and are made of the best material.
4.  I am trying to send more cards to friends and family.  I miss the days of mailed letters!  Lately I have been using this girly Barbie stationary I bought at TJ Maxx.

Beef Stroganoff

I had a dinner date with my sister, Margaret, tonight!  I was planning on making Beef Stroganoff for me and Aaron, and I was so happy when I got the "Can I come over?" call from Marg.  She also brought me an awesome framed picture of my Grandma that I LOVE!  Thanks sis.

Beef Stroganoff is definitely not on the healthy food list, but it sure is delicious.

Poor Blog

My blog has been neglected lately.  I am a little ashamed of myself for being so distracted, but here I am, back in action.

Let's go back to Memorial Day weekend for starters...

The Sunday before Memorial Day we headed over to Conlan's girlfriends parents house in Winthrop.  I absolutely love being at their house because it overlooks the ocean and gives you no other choice than to be perfectly relaxed.

Aaron and Conlan played "Bags" while Taylor and I went down the backyard steps to the tide pools when the tide when out.

The tide pools were so fun to explore around in.  We even found a bunch of clams and took them back up to the kitchen to boil.  They turned out perfectly!

I just had to snap a few pictures of these pretty flowers too...

5th Times a Charm

Patrick's graduation party will be the 5th high school grad party my parents will have hosted at their house.  I wanted to help out with this party in any way that I could so I asked my mom if I could make the announcements/invitations.  I had so much fun making our wedding announcements and invitations, so I knew I would have a great time getting creative again.  I got all of the paper goods from my favorite store, paper source.

I made an annoying mistake and had staples cut the paper to the exact size of the envelope, so when I went to insert the invite, it wouldn't fit.  Soooo, I had to cut a little off each of the 100 invites.  So annoying!  Good thing I had a mini cutting board which made it a little easier.

Juicy Buns

We aren't letting a little rain get in the way of spring grilling.  This weekend Aaron made some delicious hamburgers with a little twist.  He added some teriyaki sauce and chopped onion.  They were so juicy and delicious!

P.S. Rain, rain GO AWAY!

Sibling Love

It made me smile watching these four kids run around and play because it reminded me of the days me and my siblings would run around like crazy and have so much fun.  Here are just a few pictures of many to come.

M.I.A

I've been Missing In Action!  I miss blogging and my goal is to be back into the swing of things this week. All I've been doing lately is applying anti-itch eye drops and blowing my nose... Allergy season is in full effect.  See you soon.
