"Hot fun in the summertime"

Living in NY my entire life, I really do enjoy having all four seasons. Summer sort of sneaks up on Long Island. We all know it's coming but Spring tends to show it's pretty head for just a bit and then bam, it's hazy, hot and humid Summertime. Last week it hit 113 here and it was pretty darn gross I tell you. But the last two days the humidity has broken and it got me thinking of what reminds me of summer. Especially since I am not longer dripping of sweat lol !

I figured I would share some pictures of what reminds me of summertime with you all. Who ever you are that read this fancy blog ;). So here goes !

Lemonade of course, home made specifically

Good Ole Dave Matthews, summer is not complete without him singing in the background somewhere.

The smell of sunblock. Is there any better smell???

Burgers ! Be it, chicken, turkey, or beef they are all amazing in my book.

Garage sales will always remind me of summer. When we were younger my sisters and I used to stay at my Aunt and Uncles a lot in the summer, we would search for garage sales to find different things to contribute to our "ugly gift collection" ... hahaha, who knows who has this box now ! It was such a great time. Oh how I miss those days.


The smooth sounds of Reggae !

Home grown tomatoes, nothing better tasting !

Beach glass. Hard to find on LI but it will always have a summer feel to it.


I even asked some of my friends what reminds them of summer , here are some of their responses.
Pina Coladas, yum !
.
This combines two responses, coconuts and sand

Flip flops, gotta let those suckers breathe in the summer. But please people, make your feet pretty.

Love pools. This one would be nice ! I'll take it. =).

And lastly, sprinklers. Isn't this picture great? Found it on the web somewhere, so vintage, so old school, so cool.


And last but not least, this gem right here will forever and always remind me of being younger in the summertime

Lipstick messages

Yesterday was my birthday. Nothing fabulous. At this point of my age, it's just another year older. Nothing monumental, not a new decade, nothing to go crazy about.... But it got me thinking about when my sisters and I were younger, (and anyone else who may have lived here from time to time) my mom would write lipstick messages on our bathroom mirror. Most of the times it would say "Happy Birthday" to us. And if I was having a terrible week , it would be something encouraging like "I love you, have a great day." Well, I definitely miss my lipstick messages. I wish when they were written, we had Facebook or Instagram. What a cool thing to have captured. Here is a picture of what one may have looked like, not ours, but similar.

A room fit for a beatiful baby boy....

I wrote this post about a week before I had our son. I never posted it to my blog but wanted to share. It's almost been a month since baby B's arrival. Things are still a bit upside down over here, but boy are we in love !!!   It took a bit but it has all finally come together, I have some more final touches but not too much to go.  This is the most modern room in our home, even with it's vintage touches.  It took me a while to figure exactly which direction I wanted to go with in regards to decorating. Bedding was hard because I literally hated everything. I thought I found something on ETSY but once we found out it was a boy, I wanted something a little more boyish. The one thing that I can say always remained constant regardless of the sex of the baby or style of the room,  was the Jenny Lind crib. It's my favorite. Once I figured out what colorings I wanted for the room, I knew the black was the right choice. So here is the breakdown of some things. As I me

My pregnancy and birth story

  As I mentioned in my last post my pregnancy was very long. 10 months to be exact ! But in all seriousness it was the hardest thing, by far, that I've done. I was never comfortable, I was never over the moon excited because I was scared. Scared straight.   Mr. B & I were very lucky, we only tried for three months before we got pregnant. We knew that we wanted to try in the new year of 2012. I was finished with school and ready for the next chapter in our lives. I was actually over ready. I couldn't wait to be pregnant, be a mom, and see Mr. B be a dad. My pregnancy started out just like everyone elses I assume, calm? I tested five days before I was due to get my period. I remember I had gotten the stomach bug that was going around last year and the Monday I tested, I was still off from work because of it. I texted my sister asking if she thought it was too early to test, she said no... so off I went to test. It came up with a faint line of a yes and I immediately t
